Pretty cool. It looks fast. Does it take 3 or 4 people pushing you to start it? Lol.

Yeah, I'm beginning to think you are right. :lol:
It starts pretty easy actually, thank goodness! I remember pushing McMarks about 5 or 6 times and it still wouldn't start.

Something wasn't right with mcmarks engine. Carb, reeds, piston/rings/cylinder..something or other was tweaked to far.

Congrats.

I've got to say that I'm sort of thinking about something like this (or maybe even GASP FM for the next vehicle) --- probably FM because it is easier on your body and you can run them everywhere.

Murphy traided his FM F500 2-smoke for a EM Porchevy 914 so no worries listening to that noise if you go FM.

Awesome Trey! I would consider getting another one if we could run them. They are a blast one you understand shifting. The best thing that helped me was if you lift down one, touch the brake down 2, actually brake down 3 and it worked everytime.

I'm going to try to run with Chattanooga and some TR events. Maybe Atlanta too. If I'm able to get the hang of it, I might even come with you to Alabama and give that a try. Is it sprint racing you do there?
