If you mean me, finally someone to race with... I am up for
it! But wait till you run the #'s with the CD of a
lakester... The difference will scare you. the 7.5 sq ft
lakester with a cd of .5 will go 205 with 300 hp sea level
corrected engine. My #'s say in a 21 ft car with a .2 cd
will go 199....
So i would not think you are going to go 220 with 9.5 sq ft
and 300 hp...in a lakester.. But hey we will see. How much
power does the engine make?
