Let me know if you would like to have a car to test like this at your event.
I hope we can find a place for this type racing!

Al,
The race mentioned above is not being held by me but I will be entering six cars in it.
At my race, November 25-27 you can definitely send the car in for some test runs. I will be glad to post the results on race day.
My track shows 60', 330', 660' finish ET and MPH.
I am also sure I can find a match race or two for you, depending on what modifications you have made.
The last race I held had almost 50 entries including several 50+ mph cars running at only 20 volts.
