Me on My trusty Old K2. I ran it on Avgas at that meet, first qualifying run, ran like a dirty old sohc, so I took the main jets out which I bumped up to 120's to compensate for the Avgas. So I put 145's main jets in & had to take pod filters off so it would run sweet. It sure hauled ass then.

Hi Retro Rocket, Aj's F1 best time so far was a 10.9 at 115 mph & has a lot more in it, Adam just has to learn to get it out of the hole.

Update for the Nostalgia Drags from August.
Isaac on his K7 got into the final against a good long time racer on his Suzuki EF

Isaac dialed in 13.5? Ken on the EF dialed around a 10.0? I will have to check Isaac's time card.
For some reason a 15.5 came up for Isaac, he didn't notice it up on the board, accepted the wrong dial in. So Isaac came home with the runner up trophy, still would have lost if it was the right dial in, Just lol it was pretty close. 2 hundreths I think??

Hopefully a lesson learnt lol. We had a great weekend regardless
