Ran my 2102 for the first race this weekend at the brca national race series.

Running in was very easy, 4 tanks on the box heat cycling & 6 more on the ground progressively getting up to full throttle.

Set up

OS 2090 pipe
JVD ally 4 shoe clutch
7mm Venturi
Carb setting top end as per Adam drake instruction
Bottom end at least half a turn richer than Adam drake as it wouldn't settle down to idle properly & was lean bogging, after I richened it the engine ran perfect.


Ambient temperature was around 80 degrees Fahrenheit. Qualifying runs were 1.30 warm up & 5 mins & 1 min at the end so generally 7.30-8 mins on the track.

Engine was coming off around 253f with 1/4 to 1/3rd fuel left, really happy with this as the engine has only done 1/2 gallon.

When the engine came back from the run it settled down to idle really quickly & sat at idle comfortably.

Final was 20 mins long & I did just 1 fuel pit stop, during fuelling all good and again settled down during fuelling. Good trail of smoke all the way through power.

The engine had so much useable power bottom to top, top end really sings & is crisp on the bottom end.

I came off the final with roughly 1/8th of a tank of fuel left!
