Not surprised. I love the effort they put in.

Any other event results?

9000hp would imply 4 2250hp V8s. What are the specs? PSI blown 632s on ethanol? 10/1 with 30lbs on top?

I assumed that last year was the big Sonny Leonard turbo engines, but reading now it appears it was a Vortech SC setup.

Vortechs I don't think they got the compound motors done in time

Question: A Checkmate ZT or Convincor, but that isn't the only decision.
