lol ya this new combo is proving a little more difficult to hold a certain rpm because they keep changing the amount of water around the box all day long so it varies on how much throttle to get it going before too slow of tire speed pushes me out immediately forward.

We should have spring dates soon I hope. Had 43 cars, so overall not too bad

It's been some years now and better technology/parts have come about, but we broke 3 big money units in 4 passes one day......I've said for a long time 'glides were the sole reason for quick release cooler lines and cases made with bolt-on carry handles.
