I know you're trying to be helpful - really - so don't take this the wrong way at all... But when somebody tells me the motor I just bought is TOO POWERFUL for my car, I gotta admit, my inner Tim the Toolman taylor grunts approvingly. Thank you for confirming my purchase was savvy. Now I'll just need to figure out a way to replace the hole in my garage door when your warning goes unheeded.

Seriously though, the purpose of this motor was for ripping around in the streets or large flat-ish dirt lots, not for small track racing. I completely agree it would likely be wayy too much for that venue.

cheers!
