The US events always raise the line size and length whenever the record goes over 200 MPH. With the line sizes from the 1960s I am sure there would be some great speeds with the modern engines. Any motor over a .29 is not allowed a pipe now, that slows things a lot. I have not flown speed for maybe 20 years because of no good paved circle. Maybe I found one in Flint Mi? I'll have to see how that goes. $13 to cross the border, deal with the Gestoppo, 2 hr. drive... The guys in the club seem pretty cool.
