Most of us racers forgot about the stock ignitions, but I think yours goes to the carb venturi which provides more vacuum with increased RPM, thus increasing the lead. Yours has a problem like a lea

For historical interest I found a 1981 rule book with essentially the same wording as today's. All the racers to date had rear fenders and the records were set with them. The real test comes when you

My data logger system is to look under the car after a run and see if anything is dripping or sticking out. I don't have time to drive and look at gages so don't have any of those either. Dave Thomss
