I plan to run it with a 6-7 mm spacer and a 053 pipe and being gentle on the throttle. My track will be doing 10 minute mains, if we don't have mandatory pit stops I'd like to play the fuel mileage game. In which case I would get the .21.
your lap times willbe better over a ten min. main with a 21. tried to run one early this season. not many experts run a 28, mostly sportsman.
a 10 min. main doesnt really mean you are going to run for EXACTLY 10min.
does your clubs race clock start when you take off or when you cross the scoring line? and at the end of the race say you cross the line at 9.50 and you still need to finish the last lap = 10.30 race.
i understand your thought here but really a pit stop is about the same as 1 crash. get the motor and pipe you really want and pit stops are good practice so when you go to other tracks,bigger races you willbe ready. you can make a little time in the pits or loose alot!
