Well here we go! Got 3rd or last overall! Track was rough and had a few technical difficulties over the weekend but all in all was happy with the results for a last minute 1st year entry! Next year will be even better!

Technical difficulties
Broken key way on sprocket hub
no traction with hoosiers on rough/short track
not big enough sprocket for big lug tires
throttle cable breaking
throttle cable sticking
air filters flying off
