I didn't gain on Scotty (once he bolted down his carb) in the race the way I did on Reid. I believe the Honda did a better job of mapping on that particular weekend and nothing else.
The reported HP numbers are nuts! The Honda is sub 115, and I know (because I had one) the top Kent's are north of 117 and no longer lack the torque.
We switched to Honda to save our sanity and afford a little more racing.
With the right set up, chassis & motor (& driver), the Kent is capable of winning at any track on any weekend, and so, I believe is the Honda, just with a lot less tunning effort and potential financial hemorrhaging.
I am curious what Reid thinks of this whole debate, wish he would weigh in.......
John, I'm with you....Let's Race!
