Thanks. We have been having those practice sessions once a month at our local fairgrounds.$25 for 5 hrs of seat time. They have an 11 car minimum so u get plenty of drive time. Next session is this month on 19th. If anyone wants to make the trip let me know. I'll get u on the sign up sheet. Thanks to whoever for the link help too.

good work. what RPM are you spinning it to? it sounds like it's hitting a rev limiter or just cutting out on the long sweeps and high RPM.

No helmets? hmmm.

I get major fuel cut if I don't have more than a half tank of gas. Drives me nuts!! If anyone knows how to fix that I would love to know. I don't know exactly what it revving to. It's maxin the tack. I don't think its goin past 9k though. And there was only 5 of us that day,so helmets r only a must for 1st timers or if they think u need one lol.

check the tank baffels, you can fix it by making a sump, or making the baffel hole larger and putting a cover over the baffels from spilling out over the top on hard lefts.

That looks fun and really cheap! Wish we could get venues that cheap around here.

I would definitely wear a helmet. Skill aside, you never know what might happen (think fluid leak)and brains are pretty awesome.
