Dietmar, regarding 'balance'.
If one has to replace both the disc and the clutch assembly, can it just be put on, or does the whole moter need to go back to the builder for a rebalance?

We generally do NOT drain the transmission......
I keep a couple of 2x4 and 4x4 blocks to put under the frame as needed.

So, if you run with an engine temperature in the 180 to 210 range, is that okay?
Too cold?

Ed,
Which manufacturer and if you have it the part number?
All the ones I looked at that were 5 gal were too big.

Thanks,
John

Window switches. Good idea, went to rock auto, which led me to Doorman, but most of their switches are for regulated motors....

When I got the Womer, it came with Goodyear Rain Tires. In really good condition! (but only 2)
I was SO hoping for rain this past season ….

Not running, but will see you all Saturday.

Looking at the entries - for Group 2 there are 17 entries.

In Group 2 - is this a mixed Challenge Cup and FV...

As in "cars" - both of them?:):)

So, In Group 2, will they score us separately as 2 classes?
John

So, there are 10 FV's in Group 2?

John

Right now, the entry list shows all entries as FV.
Can't tell who is FV and who is Challenge Cup.
Are you doing the same as what you did at Thompson, start and score Challenge Cup cars and FV...

Next Year, we need to coordinate this event with the New England Region (NeR) event schedule.
It is a shame that this is in conflict with our RAL (Race Against Leukemia) event at NHMS.
