The gentlman that was supplying the horsepower on the Boyd roadster is a
freind of mine. His name is Harv. We used to dyno his engines when I lived
in So. Ca. He would bring in all kinds of turbo engines in to run. One thing I
know about Harv is, he really knows how to make horsepower, but he allways
goes for the throat with the boost. His engines would come on hard and fast
and made them difficult to pull on the dyno. I can`t imagine trying to control
that boost hit on the salt. I am pretty sure they ran Jo`s engine down there at Dyno-Motive. I`ll have to call down there and talk to Eric and see how the
session went.I`ll give Jo an atta boy for getting the car down the coarse at
all with the boost monster under her right foot. Perhaps they pulled some
boost out after she spun it to make it easyer to drive.
As for Jimmy, I think he just likes spinning, or maybe it was his right foot
was still hurting after I ran over it at speedweek this year.(sorry Jim Bob).
