Hi Jeff,

Good timing for your request. The turbo was rigged and test fired just last night. Plans are to chase Dick Austin's Looper Beast during the testing session Friday September 11 at the IOA Hillsdale, MI Mod race.

Hi Jeff,

It also multiplied..... Actually, I spent the last month re-configuring Dixon Smith's Turbo 44 Merc. It's now a Turbo 444 with four front mounted OMC six petal pyramid reed cages feed through a plenum. While I was at it, a Turbo 49.9 was also completed. The Turbo Merc 444, Turbo 56 OMC, and Turbo 50 OMC were displayed at Mark Suter's 10th annual Byron meet last weekend - see image of me and Dixon with the engines. Next summer will be an extra fast one!
