Scott,
Looking GOOD ! Hoping to get a good turn out of Clinton powered machines.
Better watch out for that chubby little kid from Ohio or Florida or where ever he's from, he was running darn good up at Avon. LOL!

Ran it at Avon and had it out last week chasing my grandson in his 49 powered kart. He could take me on the straight but I caught him in every corner. It seems to run pretty good.
Of course I was backing up all the time...LOL
Of course I'll probably never catch the "Black Widow" E65 Clinton that Chris runs but it should do OK with the A490's...Except Terry's "stock" engine.
We'll see next weekend.

What about my poor old Blackstone? How can it possibly ride around with these high powered racers?
Ha Ha, Mike

Mike,
Don't worry, you'll be in good and plenty of company.
This deal could be a 'show-down' or is that a 'slow-down'. LOL!
6 days and counting... make sure you check those R.E.A.R. equipment guidelines before attending.

Scotty,
I guess I'll see how you do against my stock 500 and then go from there.
I have a modified 500 that has never been run and I may have to drag it out.
You know, that velocity stack on yours might suck in a bug or some dirt or a marble or two?

Terry,
You won't have to worry about little 'ol me, I could never keep up with your old yeller powered flyweight kart. My set up isn't very fast, but it looks cool anyway.
Seriously, When I was running it at Avon a couple weeks ago, somehow I got going fast enough to I spin out into the grass and the thing didn't even have enough torque to pull it back onto the the track. I had to get out and push it back onto the asphalt. Now that is power..LOL
I'll need to run in the heavy weight class at 190lbs, oh yeah, there is no heavy weight class!!!
See ya in a couple days,
Scott
