We have Lost Creek Raceway all to ourselves for practice tomorrow. I'm gonna run the balls off it. Some of the locals have some stout engines but they gonna poop their pants over this one!
The only regret I have about running Clockworks engines is that I can no longer use answers Flywheels or clutch shoes. They just slip to much and they dont last in Neal's insane engines. I tried them on my first Clocked JL and while I was used to getting 2-3 gallons on a set of Answer shoes, the JL tore them up after a few tanks of fuel, and that was the smooth JL which may be the tamest of all the Clocked engines. I wouldnt even think about running anything other than the M2C clutch on the JPX or the B5. Once you try the M2C you will see the difference with Neal's engine Rob. Your cheating yourself with a traditional 3 shoe set up
