Speed Racer to make-in water debut
Speed racer will be making his in-water debut at the PICKWICK Races with Johnny T at the helm. Randy Scism took him out a few weeks ago and let off at 150 mph at only 5000 rpm, FYI the motors are designed to run 72000 rpm, should be interesting!

Re: Speed Racer to make-in water debut
I think I remember ( 
) the MTI guys at the miami show saying that they expected 188-190 mph out of it. That is where the needle on the speedo that's painted on the rear is pointed.
