Jerry Clayton I go for the people and fun of the event. I try my hardest to run well in the autocross. If you read my thread, the motor is new and only breakin time, about 20 minutes. I run in the 1:20's on road course. and drive easy. The car is not setup for roadracing course. Autocross carry's no where the speed road racing does. I know my limits. Banging up a $60G+ car for a $20 dollar trophy is not the smartest thing one can do.
Last year a guy ran under 1:00.00 with a car that looked like a dirt track modified and a 3 rotor wankel motor. How can you compare your go kart at what wieght with you in it to a 2,900 lb cobra?
Morris also gave a couple of rides to the new owners of Gateway almost at speed. He was running in the 1:10's with the added wieght. John Spina, Great car he has, Have not seen him since Kit car show 5 years ago. John jr. and him did come to R&G 1 or 2 years. The car is a real good drag car. I hope they would return to R&G next week. JustA6 is the top of the 6 cylinder cars. Nascar motor with 600+hp runs low 10's in the 1/4 mile. This is without power adders. Bring the gokart, I will bring my bike. and see what times I can run. I don't see a problem with running about 1 minute on the bike. The super charger is off the new motor for now and has been for the last 3 years. Next year the TWM setup may get the call. I hope you come next year,see 1 car and 3 drivers? this has all the makens of a cooked car. It has been tryed before with bad outcomes. Side note on Morris car, have you seen it close up or just the pictures? The KISS principal on this car has been done to the max with safety and adjustments to any part of the car. You are also looking at a $200,000 dollar car. Steve also drives the wheel off this car on a roadcourse that is not a real road couse. The car can't be setup for both high speed banking and flat track turning.
I am looking forward to see you next year at R&G.
If you get a cobra body made for the gokart you can race that too in the 4-6 cylinder class
