Hey
Shane. I gotta leave the Vakamon BBQ early to hit another BBQ (one of my troops leaving to Europe). I should be there until around 2:00 at least. I'd like to check out the RA gears. Sorry for the thread hijack.

Just speaking from my experience.

But when a flywheel lets go, the small advantage is overcome by the damage done. I also think that super lightweight flywheels don't always provide an advantage. YMMV.

Also as most of you know I beat the crap out of anything I get to take to the track,so my experiences & resulting breakage may not yield the same results from everyone.

Well,
I gotta ask. Was it a flywheel that was part one material mated to another, or was is the same material? It's not that aluminum or steel flywheels don't let go, it's just not very often. Just curious.

Jeff, I ran 12.79. Chris ran 12.3...about 14mph faster than I.

There should be an HPDE coming up in April that will hopefully let me stretch her legs some.
