Un F@#*NG BELEIVABLE!
Pulled the silencer - extremely loud but same issue
Filter on / off - same issue

So taking what Hoser said I double checked the grey wire - no connection and capped to prevent any grounding. Figure to test the circuit I would connect the ground it to ensure it worked. AND IT REVS UP!!!!?????

The Honda wiring diagram clearly shows it as ground to complete the circuit and limit rpm. My FL350 had it disconneted and capped. (No connection). Talked to an ex MC mechanic at one time - told me to make sure it was not connected.
But for some reason shorting it to ground allows it to rev up now.

That wire is usually hooked to the trans, when your in reverse the switch breaks the path to ground so it wont rev?

After too many 100am nites, it just went for it is first run.
HOLY XXXX!!!!!
Even with the carb not dialed in and the clutch coming in too late it is un ----- believable.
The whoop section - did not even feel it. The big jump (which is 7'+) - landed like you were on a couch.
Only a few minor issues to fix for Sat nite - and one big one - will full power it will lift the front wheels. Sounds cool, but it will not turn if you are on the gas. Stabbing the brakes will get it to turn NOW. May have to add 20# of lead over the front end.

31 hours to go......

WOW!!! That car is fast. I tried my hardest to keep up and I just couldn't. It looked awsome 5 feet in the air in front of me also. Way to go Ken.

That last race was a blast!
However we found a few things wrong.
First the clutch we set up for Elsinore - up shifted way too soon for the tight track. Gonna build a HOSER HOLDER to make it easier to tune the PowerBloc clutch
Second the belt is wrong - too short, drive clutch never got more than 60% belt travel.
Front shocks are too soft - will change fluid and add some ressys
Front car tires zuck - will get some quad tires for it.

Now for the very cool part! Bob with Extreme Baja Kart sent me a scan of a magazine article from ATV Sport back in 1988 profiling the H&R cars. As soon as I can shrink it (the pages are 8meg each) I will post them

BUT, PHOTOS are now on POSTED! Vist www.bluecoyoteracing.com and click on Stadium Lite for lots of photos!

Next race - Aug 2 - Podium Productions - Milestone MX Park - Riverside CA

Below is a teaser...
