hector if your talking about mike boylan? he runs a arcornite motor..it's machine wound and has adjustable timing. but if you gear a C2 high enough it will run well in oval..i like the hand wounds over the C2's because i dont have to tune them or massage them nearly as much as a C2..not to mention the magnets in a C2 go away so fast..you need a magnet zapper handy with them sinkers..
