I had a great time this weekend with my Clockwork JL's!!! My home track opener was this weekend, there was a lot of competition that made for a very long day! There was a E main in truggy and a F main in buggy! I TQ'd truggy and qualified 4th in buggy! I finished 2nd in truggy to Anthony Mazzara (100% factory Team Losi driver), same lap and 4th in buggy.
As the temps here on the east coast have started to rise (75*f) I have experienced some mystery flameouts with the OD 97T. I did alot of testing with colder plugs this weekend, O.S. RP6, P7, and OD 99T. Maximo (Neal) and I have come to the conclusion with the mods and compression I'm running I needed a colded plug, I found the OD 99T to be the best. I ran a JP1 in truggy and a JP3 with RB carb/7mm restrictor in buggy. I had no problems doing 8 mins in my 20 mains, I didn't want to push it for 10mins and run out of gas. The JP1 is great for lowend but I also feel it lacks topend over the JP3, I would carry one of each to change out if needed on the size of the track.
They was a sea of other engines out there this weekend, you name it it was there! A distance friend of mine got out of his pit chair to come see what engine was making all the noise coming down the straight. It was my modded JL that caught his ear, he came over to me after I was done, he could not believe the exhaust note, he said it was like the engine was talking!!!!

You missed a great race day Reggie! Anthony, Andy, and I checked out early and never looked back. The race was a nail biter to the end. Beat Anthony..., I'm very happy to finish on the same lap after 20 mins. Anthony is a great competitor that I have a lot of respect for!
My Clockwork JL ran awesome, geared 50/13 I had no problem with the short run-up to the triple off the straight. I am going to run 48/13 this week, should give me a happy medium with the JP1 pipe. I can't say how much runtime I can get yet, Sat. was my first day running the JP1 and I was busy testing plugs on the bench. I only got to practice one time because there was so many people. This weekend should be more relaxed with a lighter turnout so I will check my runtime during practice.
Reggie when you coming up this way???
