Recent letter from Ira to Lindsey Racing:
Mike, I thought you would like to know that I just returned from two
days of racing at Daytona where my 944T with your engine exceeded 170
mph! The engine performed flawlessly in nearly 5 hours of running on
the 24 Hour road course. A lap of that course involves two segments on
the oval, with one at about 35 seconds of full throttle and the other of
45 seconds. Amazingly, the water temp and oil pressure looked no
different than when I used to drive the car stock on the highway.
Moreover, oil consumption is virtually nil and we get very little oil
from the separator bottle, perhaps 1/2 a ounce after two hours of
running.
I also have a new respect for the Nascar guys. Those banked turns
don't look that wide when you are running north of 150 mph. I hope all
is well with you and Dave, and thanks again for all your efforts to
build the engine. Regards,
Ira Rosner
