[veggie]

Hey Veg glad you made it on here. I had a thread with the records somewhere on the board but i cant find it now :( I think for this year i will add a section on the main page for records & stuff so everyone can have better access to them. Just an FYI all records are reset each season.

The records are reset each year. Overall for OSM in 8.5, Dave Rudisell has both records with a 5.727 @ 125.13 from June 2006. We made our first OSM race last week at Morocco and currently hold this years records at 5.80 @ 122.4 on a very conservative tune. I would have stepped it up but with the noise ordinace at Morocco, there just wasn't enough time between rounds . The track was hookin'. Just wish I'd had a chance to change the tune. We've been several 70's this year, with the fastest being 5.716@125.7. By the way both cars are NOS combos. Still waiting for somebody to run the first 5.60 pass on the 8.5's.


Since this post, we reset both 2007 records with a 5.77@123 at the last race in Terre Haute. There has also been two cars in the 60's at the OSCA under tighter rules. Gerald Boyd 5.64 N/A SB and Craig Watson 5.66 SB NOS.
Hope this helps you out. Come on out and join us . It's a blast on the 8.5's. What combo are you planning on running?
