I think you may be off on your numbers on the Poteet & Main Speed Demon. Backing up a 428mph run with a 211mph...? that should be 411mph, right?

Oh my! My stupid! I'll correct that for sure.And yes,it was 411,for a two-way ave. of 419.776mph.
I slipped the clutch on launch to prevent any spin as it can gouge ruts in the salt and the starters frown on that.
I'm not done crunching numbers but it looks like I had only about 113-hp available at the rear wheels,or,35-pounds per horsepower,so she's not much of a screamer.
Thanks for the eagle-eye,I'll make that correction.
