Everyone racing puts Money in the pot, winner takes all. I'm talking about the CJ-6 (or Yak-52) airframe. Assuming that some yahoo hasn't hung something besides a Huosai or M-14 variant engine, all mods allowed. Malcom hoods OK, RV-8 canopies OK, really BIG spinners OK, Massive, awe-inspiring props OK. Bright Chrome side exhausts OK. JATO bottles - bad sportsmanship.
Many years ago, there was a Huosai engined CJ that was really fast. It was stripped to the shell, nothing in the back hole but seat and stick, 300 lbs less than mine. Haven't seen it since.
Over the course of several timed races and test runs, I discovered that a CJ-6 needs quite a while to get that last 10 kts. Perhaps it's de-carbonizing but I believe that a 15-20 mile course would work.

I all reality guys I am not going to run the guts out of my motor for less than 5K per race. This is the way I have it figured--- the first guy to win will have a automatic opportunity to do it again because the loser will have many ego saving excuses to go do it again, and as we all know and have seen ego overrules good fiscal responsibility every time. So after winning twice a fella can afford to have his motor overhauled (well almost). So you'd better come to grips with the fact that bragging rights are not worth squat, I fully agree with Pappy and would only add that just knowing that a portion of the 50 crisp C notes in my greasy palm actually came from you would be priceless.
The CJ you refer to was Steve Culp's, who for a time offered to run anyone title for title, but could find no takers. Don't know where it ended up after he sold it.
Best,
Doug
