Stan, There were 4 cars in the 1:29s at the Runoffs. The cars in the 1:29s were as follows. The engine info is my best recollection.
1st place, Doug Marsh: 494 engine for certain. 1:30.029 Qlap - 1:29.445 Rlap 2nd place, Wily McMann: Pretty sure it was a 493 engine. 1:29.834 Qlap - 1:29.741 Rlap 3rd place, Mike Brent: pretty sure he had a 493 engine as I thought I saw him back up. 1:29.534 Qlap - 1:29.530 Rlap 15th place, Brian Novak: 494 engine for certain 1:29.603 Qlap - 1:29.360 Rlap I am checking with my tech friends to make sure as they have the records of what each car had to weigh as it was on each tech sticker. You may have an easier time getting this info from the Runoffs tech records. Thanks ...

I have no way of knowing who ran which engine. Thanks! Stan Jay Novak <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: I hate to argue this point about the 494 vs the 493 engines. I particularly respect all that Tony has done for F500. I also know that F500 is not a huge part of his business as he sells a lot of kart engines which has been his major business for many years. I think it is important to look at the qualifying times from the Runoffs last year & you will see that the 493 with the added 50 lbs is absolutely equal to the 494. Admittedly Brian Novak turned the fastest race lap by less than .1 seconds with a 494, but that "super trick" car is now illegal. There were several 493s within .1 or .2 seconds in both qualifying & the race. This indicates to me that the 493 with 50 lbs & the 494 are extremely close from a competitive perspective. -snip- __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam?
