Might not be record mph number, but to do it on an engine that hasn't been apart since before Drag Week is pretty damned impressive :)

Gutted, especially when other similar events and race meets have been business as usual. But they're doing the right thing as a business to protect their fans and competitors.
 
Mike Finnegan and Cleetus McFarland posted vids on their respective channels of Blasphemi vs Leroy (think Roadkill 'vetteKart, but with more development and a lot more power courtesy of large turbochargers). 1/8th mile, uphill and absolutely no traction!



And we got the explanation for why Blasphemi couldn't/wouldn't/didn't repeat the 8.5sec pass from Day 1 on any of the other days - faulty/mis-spec'd valves in the fancy dan fuel system meant that road gas was getting into the race gas tank. Because Roadkill :mad::rolleyes::o:D

He said those valves are not rated for fuel but for oil so that might explain why they got slower and slower, they must have some rubber inside that degraded. It'll be a force to be reckoned with next year with that issue fixed.
