WGAF , the point you're trying to make is a miniscule one. But you're not going to get to make that point cuz I have seem Mike run multiple classes at Norwalk same day, make a ton of passes a day, driving to and from the lanes and the hood never came off

George, I'll lay out my game plan at norwalk for you(or anywhere else).....Make as many passes as possible. I go into customer service with 2-300 bucks and i sign up for every single race i can fit the car in even remotely. usually buy the no box and box side of the gamblers races, quick 16,like literally every entry I can buy.

Then I race the she!t out of it! most years at norwalk I'll get 16-25 passes. I'll check the lash every 25-30 passes. last year I made easily 150 passes. I know your season was cut short by the crank failure. But i'm pretty darn sure I made 80-100 by norwalk.

The fact I got a deal on a cart and involved the 15 yr old son in help with pushing the car does not mean I can't drive the crap out of it like the year before. It makes more sense to push it with the cart. I know you just can't believe that.....I'll add it to the list of things other people don't want to believe... Blah blah high maintenance, Max effort whatever.

Your close -- I shift at .4 out and set the engine dead stall at 4100 -- that's where it sits for about 3.5 seconds before going back to wide open throttle.

Slowbird,
Anyone that rips or doesn't give credit to anyone that doesn't just heads up race! I can name 5 or 6 of them. Good racers just narrow minds.
