With the inverted qualifying order slowest to fastest Scott (fifth on the starting grid, he was the fastest qualifier) was in the lead by the 7th corner. Did you listen to the idle (of Scott's car) at the start of the race - that motor was set on "kill". Jeez, it was mad fast. Next time we come down - stop by and introduce yourself, I enjoy meeting other racers.

I'm glad you enjoyed the race. You and your friends should come up to the RAMS - we get 70 cars on our race weekends - mostly 1/8 scales - fast racing for sure. We'd be happy to have some guests

I have not run mine in, hopefully this weekend if weather permits. If all goes OK I'll probably have a video of it running.
soc123, what are your thoughts on its performance now that you've used it at the Worlds? Maybe you're not impressed with it seeing that you're selling off one?

I raced my speedline against a V12 Rody last weekend, and the speedline had noticably more punch and mid range and pretty similar top end. I was using the Sirio EVO 2 WC pipe. Seems like a good motor.

Not to take this thread off topic,but have you any idea what turbo plugs fit a Nosram Speed .12.
I've been using Novarossi plugs,seems silly for different manufacturers to have different tapers,I did read somewhere that OS are a different taper.My LHS only has Novarossi plugs.
Thanks in advance.

Did you tidy up the flashings from the back plate threads?
