Well I attended the NSSR "Test and Tune" day at Chetek, WI as part of Winterfest weekend, which included this 1000' speed run. The Monster Turbo V-4 cleaned house on everything by about 10-12 mph in 1000', including Hauck's Turbocharged RX-1 w/ a Simon's CPR turbo kit and Hauck big bore block.
The first run I broke 2 reed pedals when I broke traction at around 800ft and backed out of the throttle quick and then stabbed back into it, still limped it across at 155.xxx mph in 1000'. 3-hours later the problem was fixed, but the track was shot due to the excessive running of guys with trail carbides and poor ice. But I gave it a shot anyways and now broke traction from start to finish (literally!) have you ever broke traction at 156 mph, LOL! I then made one final run but decided to pull out 5 pounds of boost to help with traction control as we were over-powering the track, we still had some spinning, not as bad but managed a 157+ mph pass with 5 pounds less boost. So it was a great day, for Caveman Racing Team on another great event put on by NSSR. We took 1st in the "Lake Racer" class and the trophy for Top Speed of the Day plus $400 in cash.
Next weekend is the final NSSR World Record Race at Annandale, MN. If the weather stays below 25 degrees and ice holds up, I think we will tickle that 170 mph goal, plus thump our record in the Open Lake Racer Class!
