I just heard Ron describing Speed Demon?s E motor qualifier. 390 against a 343 record should put her in impound.

   The most impressive run made all week was made just minutes ago. Eddie Marlen in the #66 BMR B/F roadster. A brick with barely a 100 inch wheel base just ran 308 mph and NO blower. End of discussion.   :clap :clap

Rats ... I missed it.

I dig Ed's valve covers.

What engine is he running?  It kinda looks like a Miner Bros/Fontana.
