OK yeah I was thinking the 1/4 mile track in Ennis. Heck I've been going to
Pate for a
long time. My buddy found a Dellorto sidedraft carb with aluminum intake and air
cleaner there this year for our RxMidget, guy didn't know that they cost $1,200
new as
he sold it for $50. We put it on a stock Rx and man does it scream,
loudly<BSAG> when
it gets closer let me know and we'll set up a place to get together.It's so much
better than the old Pate as far as not having to slog through all that mud. If
you get
down on the right side on the infield on the gravel it reminds you of the old
Pate
(just a little). They had about 3 or 4 spridgets this last year but I didn't
see much
in the way of parts,except for a bugeye that was so beaten it looked like it
barely
survived a Chicago Bulls winning the Championship Riot. And it was 12 or 15
hundred
$$$$. Not this boy, I want one but not that bad. later Brad
