I enjoyed Bottle Rockets shake down runs this weekend

He made it very clear (UTG) that there would be a huge learning curve, and they plan on breaking parts in the process. Should get interesting, he's using an old dual point distributor - one set of points for N/A, and with a flip of a switch they'll use the other set to retard the timing a little for the NOS. They've done a bunch of hillbilly tricks like that to keep cost down. In the end, they want to hit it with 300 shot no matter what it breaks... LOL. Again, I'm finding it entertaining as I've followd the build through from the beginning.


I guess that’s my point. Why break a bunch of stuff trying to learn? It drives people right out of the hobby. And sure as hell is hot, some guys will watch it and try to copy what he’s doing. The come and go like sunrise and sunset.

If UT can’t find someone to help shorten up his learning curve, he is doing this on purpose. It’s one of my top two pet peeves doing this stuff. We are all hear to help someone shorten up their learning curve. Breaking crap and taking the long road just raises costs and causes frustration.
