I just ordered one of these, including the CRE break-in service, from CRE yesterday.

Default Clocked RB Blast

Well i was finally able to get some good weather and raced this weekend with my clocked RB Blast. I love it, smooth, useable power through out the entire power band. Pulls hard, Screams in the upper RPM's. Didnt have a long enough straight away to open her up all the way but she had plenty left if I was on a longer straight.

I didnt mess with run times yet but I was pitting at 8 minutes easily and my son (pitman) was telling me I had plenty of fuel left. Engine never got hot. Stayed at 230 the entire day. I can lean on her some more but since shes new I am taking it easy. I am running a Werks 2058 pipe.

This engine is in my MBX6TR.

The big test for this engine is coming up at the Pyscho Nitro Blast where there is a 200 ft straight. I can already tell that this engine is going to have no problems screaming down the straights..

Thank you Neal for the awesome engine and can't wait to see how this mill rips at PNB.

One year I had a Clocked JL that Neal worked over real well and it turned heads screaming down that front straight. You will not be disappointed.

Those old JL's were awesome engines......looking back maybe we were a bit unfair judging their inability to make 10 minute stops, as other then that they were excellent mills....

Yup, I loved that motor LOL

Someone should drop that motor into a 1/10th short course truck and beat the crap out of it at a local track eh?

Default Clocked BTT WC

A big shout out to Neal for making such awesome engines. I ran the clocked BTT WC yesterday and it puts all my other engines to shame. well besides the clocked p5 obviously. Those two engines are by far the best I have owned and I've had a few. They make my buggy fly. Literally.

First race of the season today. Had a blast. After missing all of last year, I was ready.

Started off with a new motor I was going to let my boy use when he drives ( Alpha Dragon) Clutch was good, tires and set-up felt good but was running a little rich. Finished the first heat, made a couple adjustments but was still 2 laps off the pace.

Went out for the second heat, flamed out on warm up. Pit man couldn't get it started cuz the plug died. Put a new plug in it, fired right off, but now it was way lean. Adjusted in the middle, made it a little better, then clutch bearing gernaded

Fixed the clutch, got about 7 minutes of run time between heats and felt pretty good. Got out for the 3rd heat and was on a TQ pace, came off the big triple and all of a sudden it started running extreamly rich. finish qualing 4th in the B.

Fed up with the problems, I put my Clocked B5 with 2057 pipe in, which by the way has been sitting in a ziplock bag with dessicent for 16 months, and was amazed that if fired up right after it was primed.

Needed a couple hours out of it to get it to scream and off she went.
Won the B, made the bump.
Started 10th, worked my way up to 3rd and was running there until a nut fell off the steering tie rod ending my day.

What can I say. Anybody want a Alpha Dragon with less than a gallon on it?? I think I just proved the difference between quanity and quality.

CRE IS and always will be my motor guys. Never again will I buy into the hype.

Thanks John and Neal.

If I wasn't so spent I would've stuck around and tried some of my pipes on that engine for ya. I fooled with my B5 a lot. It still runs great. I have a pipe from Italy that might work really well in a buggy. I can't stand those damn 2057's, lol. That was the slickest track I've ever been on. Hope to see you guys for the roar race.
