Brett Kingsbury was at the race and spent 15-20 minutes helping me get it tuned and even helped pit for me. I had a great time at the race and eventually finished 5th out of 10 in a combined pro/sportsman buggy main which lasted 30 minutes.
Kingsbury took all 3 rounds of qualifying in pro truggy but had a turnbuckle break in the main. I also watched him help several other drivers with tuning issues without regard to what they were running. He is a great ambassador for Werks.
thanks for the feedback, it's allways nice for companiesto hear this kind of thing! Tuning an engine without a reducer can be a little finicky lol! I never understood the fad that was going around for a while of running engines without them as it totaly disrupts the airflow into the carb.
Regarding purchasing a replacement, I'm assuming that you have the new alloy carb? If so those are not going to be listed on A-Main yet. So if that's the case just send me a PM with your contact info and I'll give you a call on Monday. Just cover the shipping charge and I'll give you one for free.
