- Gee, I was kinda planning on zapping that ol chebby truck out. The Girlie camero is sort of ok though, It does go fairly fast. I will post more photos soon, including the new ride.....gotta make sure

- That is an interesting # if aero drag was linear which it is not.. BTW do you have a car with 0 for rolling resistance? That isn't linear either.. Dave Dahlgren

- Well looks like it's a 177 MPH record for you two to shoot at anyway. Rick should have that one bumped up a little after August. John -- Original Message -- From: "Dave Dahlgren" <ddahlgren@snet.net>

- Who said 300 HP. I didn't hear or read that. Nor did I say that. Who said anything about 220 MPH? Not me? Since we racers are the most optimistic lot in the world, I expect to go lots faster than 220

- Jumping in the middle here. Based on what I've learnd over the years .5 CD is a reasonable number for a Lakester. And .28 on the Merk is damn good. Doubt if the Chevette was much better than that. Co

- I kinda figured 220 was a very doable #. My reasoning goes that a F engine ought to make 400 hp on gas.. or very close to it.. Goodman went 224 with 300 and 100 hp of nitrous.. That was in salt that
