It's going to be a heck of a TOP FUEL SHOOT OUT with about eight fuelers supposed to show up! Friday, they are going to run the final round from the rain out at Dragway 42 between McBride and Hand. Larry McBride is behind the eight ball, he needs to have a very good weekend if he wants to retain the championship. I think the King Racing Puma Suzuki will have something to say about that. I hope the European's have a great race here in the U.S. I heard from a inside source that the King racing Suzuki is running real good! 👍

We have had a great season over in Europe with the Gulf Puma bike, previously owned and ridden by Ian King. BTW not a Suzuki...we based the Puma motor on Yamaha bore spacing, but the entire engine is our own construction and design. We use a billet 3 valve per cylinder head unlike the vortex/vhr type heads used by larry etc.larry etc do run our bottome ends with suzuki spacing.We have anew owner/rider this year Fillipous Pappafillipou. we ran a string of 5.8's and a best of 5.78 on very conservative settings to help Fil get used to the bike. Ian is back in the saddle for next weeks man Cup Race. Drop by and say Hi! cheers Nick

Good luck, Nick.
Hopefully it will not be the same blazing hot conditions you all had to endure last year.
I saw this small article on your Euro success.

I won?t be bringing my 4.60 bike it is not even close to being finished. I decided to go FI using 50mm Lectron as throttle bodies. MPS does the conversion. I will be using the Fueltech 550 to control everything. By going this route I can run dry NO2 set up. I am gonna try to get as close to 4.60 as possible with my motor only😜
If I am gonna play with the 4.60 boys I have to step it up or step down. You only live once. Plus I would love to see it go in the 6?s in the 1/4.
