You guys are funny, that made me laugh... I guess I do have a tendency to whine a little....
I have heard from Travis and Fred they got a qm in a dive and it peaked at 224mph, must be over-running the prop at that point...
What was interesting is what we saw at sea level and up at 5330' in Boulder, we saw about 175 to 184mph on the course at the nats and 159-168 on the course at the Boulder field, about a 10% loss in speed, just about 20mph slower up here at altitude, it seems about right, I always think, these things are sure doggy up here, I heard one of our local racers state the same thing, " Do you find yourself taking a nap on the way to one???"
I always wondered what the loss was, now I have a pretty good idea, what nice is that also fits the engine loss ratio's of about 10-15%...
