    Did some hot laps on sunday, motor is tuned just right. Hits the rev limiter right before lifting going into the corner. I have a good feeling about this season.

    You could hook the Throttle value cable from the transmission to a clutch pedal, making sure it has the correct amount of travel. Then you can control shift points... a little, and independent from the accelerator pedal. I used to hold it in one hand so I could downshift coming up on a corner.

    Looks like a lot of fun.

    That's probably the easiest way, others T it into the radiator or use an extra port on the thermostat housing.

    Looks like that battery tray hold down tie in, is wearing thin.

    Was reading through this and saw my previous post about going for the championship on our first season... It was going as planned until this happened

    It was pretty obvious to me that it was on purpose too, Someone was trying to get rid of competition.

    We got it fixed up as best we could, but it was pretty mangled.
