Jerry got his Blackbird racer down to 10.77 @ 125 mph at the Cedar Falls Ia. track. He is running an 8.5:1 332 cu in Y on pump gas. Says there are a few tenths more to be had with some tuning

Royce.  Pass onto Jerry my congrats and glad to hear that he’s getting some great times out of that particular combination.
