Tach Race 2013 Results---Engines on their way home

Finished the Tach Race about an hour ago and here are the results. Like last year, there were surprises in both directions of performance, and I'll have a much fuller note following up.

I can promise that I did my level best to give everyone a fair run. The shop was kept at 'shirt-sleeve' temps the whole time, and having the indoor test stand was a GIANT improvement over last year's race.



I just held a drawing for for the engines generously donated by Bernie at Cox International, and Matt at Ex Model Engines. My friend Patti graciously volunteered to be the "Official Drawer", and here are the results.

Bernie's "Terminator" Engine.....Bob Dickerson

Bernies Gift Certificates are awarded across the Classes for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd placing.

Matt's Unlimited Entry was won by drawing by......Leanna Wescott

Matt's "Taipan Serpent" was won by drawing by.......Wayne Seivers

Matt's "Black Lynx" was won by drawing by...........Ron Cribbs

Matt's 12/12 "Christmas Bee" goes by drawing to.....Mark Boesen





Since the "Outlaw .020" was sort of a last-minute deal, the winners of that competition get bragging rights on this lap. If I do the Race again next year, I'll be glad to include these little guys.

Anyway, gonna take a break. I'll be back on tonight with more engine photos, and will try to get the "Class Photo" taken tomorrow, followed by the return of these little machines to there rightful owners.

Later, Kim
