Tracy,

We need to talk about setting records and racing technique.  :)

Thanks to all for the advice on mixture settings.  I have the 9.7:1
rotors.  I don't know if I will have a higher probability of
detonation than the average 13B, but it seems that running a little
rich of peak initially won't hurt and I can check RPM for max power
when needed.  With the price of gas, I'll be doing the economy cruise
as much as possible. :)

Bob W. (Don't expect me to lower power during a race.)

So far, I even race LOP.  I was 3 GPH lean of best power setting during last year's Sun 100.
