- Those who have run up front in the past will continue to run up front.
- Like any other motor, if you buy 10 Retro Hawks you stand a better chance of finding an exceptional motor than if you buy 1. If you buy 100 Retro Hawks you stand a better chance of finding an exceptional motor than if you buy 10.
Of course the above makes sense,.......but Jerry seemed satisfied enough to buy only 2 and race 1.
Also at the last Retro East race on a Gerding King, of the 7 racers in the A Main that ran more than a few laps(one racer quickly dropped out), the 6 using the Retro Hawk, best single lap times were all in the 4.3's, a 4.327-4.390 spread.
Ed Sohl 322 4.327
Does the SCRRA have races where everyone in the A Main is within a .063 for fast race lap?
These guys have been using the motor for awhile and I'm guessing a fair amount were purchased, but the magic one didn't materialize.
And as far as the first line I quoted, the race did feature someone who hadn't made the A Main before, and in a field this large, probably hadn't been in a "B"
