Dave Anders does 2= 65 mph with his RV-4 (stock redline is at 210). The RV-8 has a higher Vne a= t 230 which is as high as I have taken mine but I have longer than stock win= gs which will make them more likely to flutter. Very interesting results at Reno Dave. Really points out the value of minim= izing cooling drag. My standing start average Sun 100 race speed (217.57 mp= h) was about the same as your lap speed. IAS during race was 220. My RV-4 w= as not especially clean but I did do a reasonable job on cooling drag. I b= urned only a little more than 1/2 of the fuel (17 GPH vs 30 GPH ). =20 Tracy Sent from my iPad On Jul 1, 2011, at 11:31 PM, Ernest Christley wrote: > On 07/01/2011 05:28 PM, David Leonard wrote: >>=20 >> I love the all-around abilities of the RV, but it really does not belong a= t Reno.
