Lou,
No doubt the Russians make fast engines and Henry Nelson is just amazing..

Im not bashing anyone here..
BTW, its NOVArossi not just Rossi... Two completely different engines.. These are NOT the same old Rossi's but are a different manufacture just to clarify.. In C/L Speed, David Smith is using the Novarossi very competitively against the rest. Did you view the video?? That was an Irvine setting the record.. Have you ever messed with this one Lou??
