I made fun of 948s once. Found out the vintage racers run them around
8000rpm and 120mph. Even got to ride in one...those small engines aren't
wimpy. Gary, what size engine is Jahimiak running in his "nuclear powered"
63 Sprite? Must be a 1098 if he is legal in class C......yeah, right!!!!!!
We all like what we have - right?
