Sounds like fun! let us know how it turns out. Hey steveooses, what do you mean too small. after the first gear change all you have to do basically is hold on. most of your time is gained or lost in the first 100 feet. the smaller tracks help me focus on that. no time to screw up or you loose. I was stuck at 6.0 in the 1/8th until i stopped focusing on the end numbers and started working on my 60ft and 330 times. now i gottem down to 5.72.
