Yeah, mine was just a hillbilly hot rod. It would have gone a lot faster, but I didn't get the timing sorted out until I went road racing with that engine. The best I ever did was like 11.95 at 110, but I had the timing way more advanced that I should have and it just killed the top end. It should have run mid to low 11s but, Oh well.
So who is your buddy? Maybe I know the name.
I guess the fastest RD I ever saw run was Tom Turner out of CA. It seems like he was putting his in the low 10s or high 9s at 140+ back then. Pretty awesome runs for a little twin.
