get crazy brother!!!

Come on by and you can take it for a spin yourself. Just be careful when taking turns. Mari said she sold the gear to you for the price I sold it to her.

When I race there's alot of activity in the drivers seat the first 1/8th.
FWIW, 4.56's, 26" tire, 5th gear(.67) at 70 mph I at 3krpms. -Mark
