Thanks Neal, both engines are on their way to you. As always a peasure to speak with you. For anyone out there that is thinking of getting a modified engine I would highly recommend Neal and John the service you recieve after the sale is second to none, definetly world class. Can't wait to get these engines back and continue to whoop on everyone again.

Keep us posted on what you find out.

Funny you say that Hookem34, this event is 2 x 10 minute practice heats, 6 x 10 minute race heats ( best 4 to count ) 30 minute bump up finals and 60 minute A main finals, so with a 20 second roll out ( using the cut aways ) to the loop for a rolling start and always a chance at hitting the line at 9:59 and having to run the extra lap ( 40's ) in both classes.

I can say that I have run the alpha engines into the 10 minute mark but they just wont make the 11:30 - 12:00 mark if you plan on doing no pit stops ( saves maybe 15 - 20 seconds with the pit set up ) so I will be running the purple headed monsters for this event, clocked nova P5 in the buggy and clocked banito in the truggy, both these engines have done this before at last year nationals ...... the animals are out of the pit bag and ready for action.

Pretty sure they are Gil,


If i remember from previous pics and Vids, That Track drains towards the Drivers stand and it appears that have a rather large Open Space for said water to go.

Something we might have to consider. :nod:

YEAH WE HAVE TWO SPOON DRAINS THAT THE WATER FLOWS INTO ACROSS THE BACK 1/2 OF THE TRACK THROUGH THE PIPES INTO THE LARGE SPOON DRAIN THAT RUNS ALONG THE FRONT ROW AND CARRY'S THE WATER OUT AND OFF THE TRACK INTO A LARGE PIT DRAIN SO THAT THE TRACK CAN RECIEVE 100MM OF RAIN AND BE RACED ON 4 HOURS LATER, sorry about the caps just looked up and way to tired to re type it lol
