First I need to correct a few mistakes from my previous post. The record for the car is 260mph, in open wheel streamliner. Which Rogers car is not by any means a streamliner.
The engine is .060 over and the crank is off set ground. So I don't know the total cubes. He invested seveal thousands dollars in the car over this last winter. New Hampton blower, old weiand unit was not wear near 100%, yes power loss! There were issues with the magneto so that got freshened. He rear was hard mounted in the car before, its now 4-linked with ajustable coil overs. He ran the catr at Mission Raceway in the spring to keep his comp. licsense. it ran 9.16 and back that up with a 9.06. Best mph to date I can't rememeber 145? Any way he said he had to peddle the car on both passes, not used to the 4-link set up. He is sure it will go 200mph this year at Bonneville this year. One of the crew member bought a go-pro camera so there should be some video coming soon. I can't go due to job change. Stay posted!
