Building motors is an art that takes years to fine tune. That's why people go to the grey beards for advice. You're usually paying for the knowledge and time more than the most expensive parts when buying a built motor for racing. I hope this thread is resurrected in June (when the weather finally warms up in that frigid state) so we can see how this works. I would say we should do a "best out of three runs" but it sound like that may not be possible? Jr takes a lot of grief on here, and most of it is deserved. But I'll give him credit, he has a lot of gusto. I'd consider driving up from the Hoosier state to see this race. Maybe you guys can put together some kind of event that would allow me to make a weekend out of it?
