          "But Iscold’s patience barely runs the length of a long lunch, and the designer is already thinking about his next racer, the bigger record. The next weight category—c1b, encompassing aircraft from 1,102 to 2,204 pounds—would require him to build something capable of nearly 400 mph, and as racers say, cost goes up by the square of speed. But it is the all-time piston-powered speed record, 528 mph, set in 1989 by Lyle Shelton in Rare Bear, that gets Iscold’s heart pumping. For that he would need a Rolls-Royce Merlin engine and an international team of professional builders and engineers. It wouldn’t be a bad fourth airplane."

            A time trial is a race.
