    Default Old school doesnt mean slow

    just got my car back up and running!



    Fixed the fuel issue and its running super fast again!! i also added a Catch can as SCCA and NASA apparently don't like draft tubes ^_^

    Mine really dosn't leave the garage. People across the street think it is a tool bench.

    Draft Tube is a really simple oil fume seperation system its just a line that takes the CC fumes from a Crank case and runs them down to be deposited on the road. The heat from the crank case fumes pulls them down the tube to be dropped on the road or track or whatever. It works great but organized racing doesn't like it for obvious reasons.

    I plan on doing Autocross some this year and maybe some Road Racing stuff with some different groups at road atlanta. I still need a few things before i can really be competitive, but this year the racing will just be for the experience and fun of it. I guess also to decide if i wanna try to be a serious competitor in the next few years or just continue to do it for the fun of it

    Hey Kyle, is that you and your car? I assumed it was yours and figured it was you, since it said you work at a parts counter . I was wondering what it looked like and it looks pretty good.

    Cool, just run track days with it as is so you don't need all the saftey equipment, and it wouldn't be classed in a class where it could be competitive.
