    Lady and Gents,

    Late Saturday afternoon, I ran a simulated 20 minute heat using the pink motor, shore 30 (stock) tires, and 9/36 gears. The track voltage was 10.12 volts, blue lane. Here are my results:

    275 laps

    median lap time 4.35

    fastest lap 4.24

    I had one de-slot in the esses. Don’t glance at the clock when approaching the esses. The biggest suprise was that after running hard for 20 straight minutes, the pink motor didn’t seem any hotter than it does after running a 5 or 10 minute heat.

    When I stopped running and turned away from the track, I was slightly dizzy feeling, but recovered quickly. I guess watching your car turn 275 consecutive laps can do that to you.The first 10 minutes dragged slightly, but I got my second wind for the final 10 minutes.
