Agreed there Vince! I had installed the lightened flywheel on what I thought was 'expert' advice, and neglected to do any real thinking at the time.

That thinking may also have been tainted with my racing experience that made us convert to the small diameter, multiple disc clutch, and that was its effects on braking and acceleration, especially on the road courses and small tracks.

It took me a long time in racing to finally learn, that if you continue only using and/or copying other peoples ideas, the best you are going to run is second!

BTW Vince , I love your Avatar
