Re: 2024 Discussion Topics - Need some responses before the start of the race season
From the VLR manual: "Vortex engine works with commercial gasoline, leaded or unleaded, as well as racing fuel, with minimum 95 Octane" Pretty sure we aren't meeting that minimum octane rating with co-op pump alone. If we are seeing pre-ignition (detonation) then this is going to impact pe...

Re: VLR battery box buttons

Re: sold please remove

Once when racing Rotax, I had some kind of motor issue (was common for Rotax in those days !) and went off near that tree. The hawk didn't appreciate t...
