There were no SX-300 in the Big Muddy race but there were some fast airplanes like F-1 Rockets and Glassairs. They had more than twice the horsepower and were five times the cost of my KR. I thought my KR did quite well against two Midget Mustangs and a Long Eze. My tired 0-200 has 2300+ hours on it running stock compression and 25 degree BTDC timing, not 28 BTDC as the new style cylinders use. Averaging 170 mph for one hour on a course with six turns, in hot bumpy air, on 100 hp is no small accomplishment. And it was fun to boot. Larry Flesner
