David did you forget about this email ?
David , In going thru the numbers I could see going to 480 hp on the V10 . Here is what I base it on . At Indy the car ran right around 9.0 at 3500lbs . The air at MIR should be better by at least a 10th and a half faster , that would put the car at 8.85 at 3500lbs which is very close to what it ran at atco in the spring. At 480hp x 7lbs for BB = 3360 +170 =3530 lbs . So the way I calculate it the car could run 8.88 on a 10.30 index putting the car 1.42 under which is ok with me I can tell you I don't think the 4 Ford 5.4l blower cars can run that fast they would have to go 7.98 to be 1.42 under nor can anyone else except maybe the Cook car but I.42 will be hard for them as well . So with that being said it could come down to the driver's race and I'm good with that . The new 426 I just dont know what to do . I'm ok with the car being able to run 1.40 under but not 1.60 as it would not be good for the race . The objective of this race is to get cars that can run between 1.20 -1.40 under and put it in the hands of the drivers and put on a great show. I want to expand this race to 4 events next year and pay big money to win . My only objective is to keep the combo's with 2 tenths of each other for the first race . This is the way I plan to do it after the first race , If the fastest Ford run's 1.60 under an the fastest Copo or Mopar car in the shootout could only run 1.30 under I would take weight off that combo to bring them up to 1.40 under then review again after the following race , If the ford is still 2 tenths faster I would take weight off again to bring the combo's closer , but not closer then a 10th With this being the first race I need to make sure we have a good race , you know your car and how fast it will run give me a number that put's you in the 1.40-1.45 under range . I think your faster then the V10 what about 488 ? Also if there is any chance you guy are coming you need to register, you don't have to pay until you get to the track and your not obligated to any thing but you have to register in advance to race . If you need any help registering let me know as I will be glad to help David & Ray thank you for all your input and I hope to see you at the race . You have the fastest car in the country and everyone knows it . Good luck at the Dutch and the Mopar shootout Thanks Bo Kenney 818-339-2542 By the way you never responed after we talked and you never gave me any info on the 426 . You never even register to race what the big deal ?
