[Land-speed] NON LSR Frustratioin

Interesting, isn't it. SInce you are direct drive, why not use a true 
light weight flywheel as the transmisson hub/input shaft carrier. That 
would definitely be true and the small added mass would help any 
pulsations in the engine. Might not rev so quickly but then maybe a bit 
slower is better, especially with an automatic tanny? Not so much near 
instantaneous stress on rotating stuff?

glad to hear you got the problem solved and you have it running. Thoae 
are real Yee Ha moments! Congrats...

When you coming up this way again?
