flathead competition

[Lawrie]

We had our first run for a long time with the dragster on sat night,we had our new Racepak data logger going,it is a real help.(pulled 2.2 Gs off the line)
We were in the towup lane next to a nitro car, we spoke about the difference in our engines and how ours had twin plugs and a small blower,
in the burnout his blew a conrod out the side,he said the repair cost would be around $30K,poor bugger.
the flathead ran good all night and we were happy to be back using it again,
leakdown test this morning showed the worst cyl at 8% and all others around 3-5%.
Also the local paper did a full page article on our car.
