Stu Evans Runs 209 In Testing

The Stu Evans racing team with World Championship trophy in one hand and a set of our new Large Bore/High Shear Split Dominators in the other hand went testing this past weekend in Darlington. The initial shakedown pass was a good one. At over 209 mph with the baseline "out of the box" jetting. These carbs had never been dynoed or even been on an engine before. Right from the wet-flowbench to the racetrack.

The car was a handful right from the start. The torque of the Jon Kaase power bent the wheelie bars on the launch and with the nose 3 foot in the air Chris "Never say die" Holbrook pulled another gear to calm the car down. The car veered to the right as Chris gathered up the gears and corrected the car as only Chris can. That boy can drive.

So the initial pass at 209 mph was a scary one but it was an impressive performance and usable baseline data. An immediate switch to A-B-A test mode unfortunately wasn't fast enough as rain washed out the remainder of the session before we could get another pass on this new design.

Initially what we are seeing is good. The fuel curve seems to be excellent and the launch capability is there. We hope to get some more passes on the design before putting it out on the market. There are a few changes I would like to try as I believe there is still some half track power left in it. All we need now is a new set of wheelie bars, a dry track and that 210 plus mph record could be in the books for Pro-Systems and Stu Evans. We're crossing our fingers.

Thanks for stopping in.
