We're researching the LSX block now. The BBC's are limited to 4.840 bore spacing, 9.800 or 10.200 deck height only, which makes some blocks illegal in TPSA and the LSX may fall into the same catagory for much the same reasons. The SBC debate always gets the board going, but don't look for any SBC rule changes regarding heads or valve angle. A while back, VooDoo posted some info on some trick new 18* SBC stuff that he thought might be competitive. Could be an option for a die hard SBC racer, but there's not much time between rounds for normal maintenance of a 10,000 rpm SBC at one of our events.

[> FLASHBACK.....How far we've come!!......

Received this history lesson via email from Rick Hanson: "This is the second race of the season in late 02. We were #1 qualifier with a 5.43 with my old 496 injected on alcohol. Time marches on!! It was a gorgeous Saturday morning and I was on the radio on the Car Doctor ( Skeeter Lothringer ) show promoting the heck out of TPSA for Mike and Mark. Skeeter is a friend of mine and he was looking for something new for his show. Chad was driving that day. I had to go to my service managers wedding. ( Priorities??!! ) I don't recollect the outcome of the round."

Rick & Chad Hanson have been involved with the TPSA since it's inception, and have many great stories to tell. Today, if you want the TPSA record, you must run quicker than a 4.699! That's a long way from that 5.43 just five short years ago...... -- historian, 04/25/07 2:23am
