Quick update for all the G4Rs pilots. I ran this past weekend at the first round of the Midwest Series in Toledo, Ohio. This is the same track that will be hosting the ROAR on road nationals later this year.

The car ran very well all weekend and I qualified P4 in the A final. After a clean start for everyone I ran the 30 mins. without a problem and ended up P2! A little more work on my driving and setup and I should have pace to finish at the front. I'm hoping to post a setup here in a few days.

The 2 speed issue is strange. I set my grub screws so that the drum won't turn and then back them off 1/8 turn so the drum spins freely. That seems to be the ideal amount of gap for consistent shifting. Be sure to check the one way hub for first gear also. After it gets some wear it can groove up slightly and not let first gear disengage sometimes.
