The 2015 race results should be posted soon.  There was no 2013 or 
2014 Big Muddy race.  A couple of Midget Mustangs only beat me by 
about 15 mph.  I was pleasantly surprised.  My IFLY 720 did a great 
job of keeping me on course.  I owe at least a portion of my success 
to it.  It had a 5 mile ring around the KR with an extended flight 
track line and a constant update on how many degrees to turn left or 
right to stay on course.  I simply maneuvered to keep my extended 
track line superimposed on the course line.

Yep, looks like the race results I was looking at are from 2012.  Race
results since then seem to be secret.  When I Googled Big Muddy Race
Results it came up with the 2012 results and because I saw your name
there I didn't even look up top and notice it said 2012 instead of 2015. 
The current race results and those since 2012 are beyond my Google-fu to
find.  

170 MPH on a sustained run with only 100 HP is extremely impressive
Larry.  Congratulations on representing the KR design so well over the
years you've participated in that race and probably others.

Jeff,

Probably not.  I do hope to fly to Oshkosh with Mark Langford and , 
if possible, I'll make Mt.Vernon for the kickoff.

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.

The Lyc O-540 probably explains it...

Standard KR2 with a 24 inch stretch, longer than standard gear, with 
an 0-200 engine, as well as many other mod's.

That should have been NM , not KM.

I ran in the Big Muddy Air Race this morning and did the 144 mile 
(126 KM) course at 170.55 miles per hour ( 150 K's ) .   Hot and 
bumpy all the way.  In calm air I could have gotten 175 mph for the 
course.  Not a winner in my class but I was up against Midget 
Mustangs, Q200's , and Long Eze's .  All in all a fun day.
