WOW OH WOW what #'s charts please !!!!! And once and for all the only reason sparks did that good was not because there that good.it was becuase they were the only team backed guys there they had there s$*t together.not because they were that fast.everyone else was expection good ole boys racing.and thats what we got.that means everyone is welcome.including team backed alky runners .and fat guys on ds's any ways there should be better rep backed show this year.and maybe a few teams.maybe trinity will show there commitment to the raptor this year?????? maybe powroll???? i know me and my humble little ride will be there[and my 110 lb son rappy]LOL.any ways its not all fun like we say its for bragging rights and they do belomg to sparks this year!!! kind of like the ugly guy getting the girl.

PS:WOW king rappy i love it when someone else pay's attension to alttiudes.ps i did mine once in mesa and set my alttiudes too 4000 ft you should have seen the no's .

 

I would like to learn more about fuel additives, not for competition but for sand dune fun. Where do I get such info?

 

Uh, I would check with Lyle.

 

lol...... or check with roostinonyou over at the bomb forum.

 

720,
I read in an earlier thread you explained a bit about what can be used as fuel additives. (Can't find it now) Could you run through what can be used and what is a safe'ish mix etc, for a 686 12.5 JE piston setup. I am most interested for dirt speedway use (6-7 mins WOT). With my old Powroll 660 mid range setup, I could hold off most Banshee's, but there are a few quick ones, 403 duncan prepped & a RG500 powered + a 330R. On short tracks I'm ok but on the longer circuits I got pipped at the end of the straights.

 

I learned about fuel additives so that I could better identify cheaters on the youth (pee wee) tracks. I have a very extensive list of additives, their sources, health effects, how they are used and what they improve. My suggestion is that you stay away from the stuff. If your machine is not fast enough build it bigger.

 

TURBO33,
have a read of this site:
www.foxvalleykart.com/html/fuel4.html
Has a bit on Propylene, MEK, Acetone, Nitroparaffins, Ethers, Diethylene and why not to use them.
Also mentions some new fuel additives MTBE, ETBE & TAME.

Gee RaptorNZ, do you really think people need to know about sites like that? Sure they appear to be there to tell you why the stuff is bad but anyone with 1/2 a brain can use the same data to play with the stuff.

 

incomplete combustion of and the fumes from MTBE, ETBE, MEK, Dioxame, anything containing toluene,(not sure about the others), are known to be carcinogenic (cancer causing) generally bad news not only for people in the area but the person mixing the fuels and the rider. better off building the motor like 720 says. i think they are also found in pall mall cigarettes ;-)
dont worry the 800 kit will be here soon enough

 

Well I did use half to find it and I'll use the other half to make a more informed decision to stay with VP C-12.
