Poteet & Main Speed Demon has won the Top Speed Trophy for the last 4 consecutive years. Every year that Speed Week has been run since 1949, HOT ROD magazine has issued the Top Time Trophy, the award for the single fastest pass of the meet, regardless of if the pass is a record or not. To many, this is the ultimate prize for Speed Week.

2200 HP...shiza! And it holds up under full throttle for a long time. I wonder how many runs it was good for?

If the rule still states that a run needs to be backed up within a hour from the 1st run then the answer is "2 RUNS" for sure. Thier isn't time to swap a motor. As it is their pretty busy just getting the car prepped for a second run.

What amazes me is the over 7 hp per cubic inch output. :cool:
