As you can see, the difference in speed was little, a spread between 135 and 149 km/h. Then we had the big block powered car that was in its own league with 165 km/h! It is powered by a PIM 427".

The contest: It was a rolling start with a tight (first or second gear) corner and the trap speed was measured after 200 meters using our home built timing device featuring laser diods, a little black box and a portable computer.
