how you liking the Mielke for the track? i just put on the JP track pipe, and its not to bad, a very controllable pipe, even on my ESP 27.2 motor. the low isnt as good as i had hoped it would be, but it keeps it very controllable on take offs.
 
I like it but have only run my 5B SS in one race so far. The only thing I do not like is it catches HELL. I did like most with this pipe and made a much better mount but bent it all up and put a crack in it in one race day. I am going to change the design a little and try again. If this does not work I am going to get thicker material.

If I had the founds I would like to try a GBE Hornet. Sorry to say last month I only got less then 60 hours all month. Only got 11 this week so much of my projects are on hold sorry to say. They have a race this weekend but cannot make it for the obvious reasons. :no:
 
I am the good looking one second from the left. LOL Being the weather is getting hotter I did get a hair cut since and the beard will be coming off shortly as well. LOL It gets DAMN hot here in the deep south and the humidity is even worse.
 
Lookin at the bajas I thought that would be you:clown:Ya look like the poster child for Jack Daniels,one of my favorites.LOL
 
I would like to see your or any ones Baja try to keep up with that nitro. LOL
Then we will take them both off a 30 foot jump. LOL :clown:
 
I like both and both have there good and bad points. All ways enjoy joking around.

Some just do not have the skills to run nitro but I have never had a problem keeping mine running.

Most of us didn't either. It was just all that fiddling to keep it at temp when the clouds went over head.:clown:

I live in the deep south and the average summer day is 95 to 105 with a humidity of 80% or better. Some days before I every start my nitor I check the temperature and from sitting in the sun it is all ready over 100 degrees F and I have NEVER had a problem keeping my engine temperatures with in range with little or no fiddling. I all so have run quite a few days in temperatures around 40 or less with out problems. Like I said some just do not have the act for nitro.LOL
