Looks good Shawn and should be a player in Limited Street. Unfortunately, Mel is not allowing a gear drive so my combo is out. It would have been great to line up next to another LSx F1C combo in the class. Best of luck and I'm sure it will make the power to compete!

The magazine had the crank deal already done before we came on board.

the biggest secret is not a secret at all- it's called attention to detail.
