So much for theory, eh Mark?

P.S. How many mixture kits have you sold through EBay and other places? Lurking business on the side? Would it be possible to build the entire kit, with EGT sensor and guage for $$$'s ?

P.S.S Just got some 15x7 rims for the Wabbit. I've got 2 sets of 13x6's and 1 set of Ronal 13x5.5 (ex Rabbit Cup wheels). I couldn't find any decent 13x7 rims for GP, so went with the 15x7. Now I have to get some 23x9.5x15 slicks.

Good luck in 03

I've sold a few through Ebay and here on this site. Enough to pay for a couple of tires during the season. I've thought about doing the whole kit w/ hardware but then I have to invest and tie up racing capital in inventory.
It's just a little side thing I do for fun. I've thought about doing my checklists (I have developed a couple of different ones - race car prep and packing lists ) the same way. People are always asking me about them.

About those rims: how are you going to counteract the fact that your CG is now 1.5" higher? The full prep cars can get away with it because they can relocate the suspension pickup points, but you can't. Personally, I'd stick with the 13's and sell the 15's. Just my $.02!
