Last weekend i ran at Bakerfield march meet in C/Gas,only got 1 pass due to the clutch failing but it left an impression on the track and my T bars  Video isnt brilliant as it was taken on a camera but you get the idea

Are you getting any closer to being over these sky high wheelies? I wish you'd get some wheelie bars and get that thing out of the hole.
Oh.... and Cheers.

You should make new T-bars of Ti or Magnesium and race Thu nights at Irwindale,that should light up the place You will run slower if you use your T bars as a plough Its the right time of the year for that  |

jason,it had actually been behaving,I think some of the broken clutch disc got caught up causing it to bind and hit too hard,clutch was set soft to slip a little,hopefully I will find out this weekend if it works ok or not cheers richie |

As a race car Richie's cabrio is a piece of shit, it's overweight, aerodynamically flawed, has way to little finesse in the suspension department and too much power by a long way. Yet in all of that equation there's not one element Richie doesn't know how to improve on, it's just that he choses not to. It's great. Better still, this year there are a bunch more monkeys in the barrel. |

No markings on it,just the mcleod cloverleaf so not sure cheers richie Looking at Mcleods homepage it seems like the 8" ironsinter is only availible in "HCF= HIGH COFFICENCY OF FRICTION". My friend Paolo who drives a Topdoorslammer/Promod http://www.protruck.se/ prefers the Crower ones over the Mcleod ones. I bought mine at RLR and thats a Crower 5135. |
