Yea thats happy's old hood, got it patched, painted and it came out real nice. It kind of sucks since in this bracket racing I have to race against anything that runs faster than a 5.69 in 300 ft. It is the top atv class and any slower than that is trail class. So most of what I ran against was either high hp banshees or an atv with a snowmobile engine. Should be able to run better with the Banshees when I put my nitrous on though

Ok cool John thanks for the tip, yea I was clutch shifting the whole day. I was a little nervous with it being the first race but it really did run great (thanks John). I'm sure shifting without the clutch will help a little too. The next events are the 15th and 16th, right now it forecasts rain both days so hopefully it will change. Plan to have a lot more video and pics this time.
Every shift is 5 to 10 feet of no acceleration so as fast as you can get it done the better. Don't worry about the trans they can take quite the abuse. Tim is a big fan of 2nd and 3rd gear starts when you have too much traction but it looks like you got the front wheels hovering pretty good. Lord help you with the nitrous. Run a jet size richer on the fuel for safety as we didn't dyno it with your kit. I am also wondering if we should drop the rev limiter down so you don't linger at waiting for the shift. The power curve drops off before the rev limiter a couple thousand rpm so it doesn't accelerate as fast reving above 9700 rpm. I'll check the dyno charts.

Haha I'll kindly let the gf know about where to stand and take video hahaha. I have a friend that taped a bunch but I have to somehow get ahold of him. I'll try to get what I can for races, will be racing on sunday. The 250r 3 wheeler and I had really close times so it looked like a nice race but if there are more races taped since it is bracket racing the launch time could be a second or more difference between racers.
