Default Reg Taking the Short Way Around Sebring Video

Here's a video of Reg taking the short way around Sebring in a track prepped Backdraft. Quality is a bit low on the video because he emailed it, but the sound is definitely up there:



I just uploaded it to YouTube so it may take a moment to update.

Thanks for sharing that, Jay.

The sound is awesome.

I can't wait to see the car at Mid-Ohio.

Cheers!

Yeh, that little squiggle, down shifting into 4th into turn 17 was in excess of 150mph.
Reg ran a 2:24 that day, around 12 secs better than the next fastest car. A spirited lap at Sebring typically is 2:35 to 2:40 just for perspective

Just waiting for my mechanic to get his act together.

There is a 427FE making it's way home soon. Maybe I'll try that.

once you have had a big block it's hard to go back, are you sure you are ready for it?

From what I understand, it is below 390cid, dry sump, but a high rpm piece. Reg said that car was at 165mph down the back straight. Not only did it look good, but it sounded great.

I'm obviously not the only one that lusts after a higher-quality video than what was posted, have a video pro put together a BackDraft promo video, maybe? You betcha UT would pay for a copy!!!
