They are pretty reliable engines because they're not very high revving(about 6500rpm).

This 500 is just going to be a saturday afternoon toy,but i've been looking into going hill-climbing with it(i only live 15 minutes away from Shelsly Walsh hill climb track).....not sure yet.
Also there is a few 'run what you brung' at Shakespeare County raceway coming up which i might have a go at for a laff. :lol:
