Danielle and Ryan 12.5L
This beast ran again this year. We are still working on RPM and I will update when it happens.
Kyle and Chris 9.0L
After enduring a day of electrical problems set up as a challenge by a classmate the 9.0L fired up and ran up to full RPM. This is the second year this engine has run.

Matt and Mike 8.1L
Mike and Matt had the first 8.1L HPCR to run this year. We had a little fuel leak into the combustion chamber so I got a little dirty on the first start but that's ok it's not the first time.

Clark and Ryan 9.0L
This is the 4th year we have had the Tier 3 9L running and this year it has RPM. It requires a few controllers to communicate and tell the ECU it should go fast. Clark started the wiring harness that connects 3 controllers to the ECU from scratch a couple months ago. He had some help from a few friends and it now responds to the hand throttle. Good Job!
After it ran at high idle for a little it threw out some deposits from a few years ago and we captured a picture of it. You have to look close in the pictures to see the red sparks.
