The records are reset each year. Overall for OSM in 8.5, Dave Rudisell has both records with a 5.727 @ 125.13 from June 2006. We made our first OSM race last week at Morocco and currently hold this years records at 5.80 @ 122.4 on a very conservative tune. I would have stepped it up but with the noise ordinace at Morocco, there just wasn't enough time between rounds . The track was hookin'. Just wish I'd had a chance to change the tune. We've been several 70's this year, with the fastest being 5.716@125.7. By the way both cars are NOS combos. Still waiting for somebody to run the first 5.60 pass on the 8.5's.

Since this post, we reset both 2007 records with a 5.77@123 at the last race in Terre Haute. There has also been two cars in the 60's at the OSCA under tighter rules. Gerald Boyd 5.64 N/A SB and Craig Watson 5.66 SB NOS.
Hope this helps you out. Come on out and join us . It's a blast on the 8.5's. What combo are you planning on running?

I was talking to Rex Jordan about this awhile ago. He used to run that bad ass green 57 chevy at Milan a few years ago.

Its only 1/8 though? It would be much more fun to attempt a full pass on those little tires.

im glad its 1/8th actually. that way i dont have to swap gears to run the different tire. im still gonna grudge race just change wheels and take the weight out. so it should be a easy thing to do that way if it works like that. hope i dont have to change the car around too much suspension wise. tune i can change with the laptop so that is cool.

Are you running EFI now? Must be alot of money in laying block these days

Good luck with whatever you run. Hope to see all you guys at the track this year. My shit will be slow as hell, but I will at least have fun getting my ass kicked. In a year or two I should be able to run with a few of you guys.
