Default Flying Dutchman Racing

I understand the red nova went some impressive 118 mph charges at Atco yesterday. Went 3 rounds only to brake out by a smigen on the top end. A gear change in the rear helped the car run better on the top end. All-in-all a good day for the almost 60 year old shoe!

What was his ET? Where's the pics? What class did he run in? He had to be close to the money round.

Bracket racing at its finest. He was running in the high 11.20's. Car is running better with a reduction in the rear gear. Pulls stronger through the traps with a 4.30 instead of the 88's that were in it. He picked up at least 5 mph by doing that. Its a hydraulic lifter motor.

A little birdie told me that Wilma may be the driver at the Valley race! He wants to get behind the wheel of his old ride to see what he can do. Sayed he can go more rounds than the new owner. Any truth to this Benny?
