She is almost ready to go! A few more things and I'm ready. I just noticed that the contact patch on ykc is more round than the yhc. Has anyone noticed that and does it make a difference in handling?

Exxxxcelennnnt!

You are right that the shape of the tire is definitly different. I didn't notice a huge difference in handling between the two tire compounds (although optimum air pressure is different). They are more different with regard to longevity and fall off.

Course all this won't matter in a few short months with the new tire coming out.

Ready to go race'n Luis?

Have you checked out the NFRA website?!?

Yea I'm ready! I noticed the tire contact is round like a motorcycle tire mostly the fronts. I had noticed a while ago that mg tires are the same shape and mojo tires too. What is a good pressure to start at and what's the fall off like and wear like? I'm so pumped to go racing I just hope the weather permits. I don't like the idea of running a two wf classes so I will just run in the class with the most entries.

	The sooner you fall behind, the more time you have to catch up.

Very common use of hammer under certain circumstances. For example, with valve stem seals you would put a socket over the valve stem, centered on the top of the seal. Give two light, but firm blows with non-meetalic hammer. But if you hit too hard, it will misshape or ruin the valve stem seal. If you don't hit firmly enough, the seal might not be properly seated. This is not to seat the valves but to install the seals.

Next with keepers, after the keeper looks like it is seated properly, you would tap the top of the valve/retainer with a plastic hammer to be sure they are locked in place. It is not to seat the valves.

That's all. Otherwise be careful with hammers inside the engine.
