Another landspeed record!
v4f/bfmr 147.629 MPh!
Even though we were 2.3 MPH short of our 150 MPH goal, we are stoked to now be the holders of both the gas and fuel blown vintage four cylinder flathead modified records at both El Mirage and Bonneville.We were really pleased with the Fast Four's performance on methanol, and even got to dabble in the world of nitromethane on our second psss, which I can assure you won't be the last time. Once yo...u go to the dark side, there is no going back!
After leaving the line like a bat outta hell, and pulling HARD until the top of 3rd gear we lost power in round two and shut 'er down. We were immediately afraid all of the nitro horror stories were true, and that we had grenaded the motor on only a 12% batch. We loaded up and headed home.
