I am running my speed trigger off holes (to be drilled) in the rotor. According to the calculations provided with the trigger, I need 10 holes. There aren't 10 bolts on the rotors

Bill,
this is a great picture, just looks like you are about to leave the pits, for the next 2h session in a 24h race.

Rep Power: 34 | First Start Success
Loaded 7 gl of 91 octane fuel
Turned on the pumps - 2 leaks on the Webers (fixed)
Pushed the start button - VAROOM!!
Sounds awesome and is very smooth. Runs rich though as seen in the video. Smaller jets? YouTube - GT40's First Start

Hello Bill,
Congratulations  . Just saw your car on Youtube and thougt I have to check the forum.
I was a silent observer of your build and your final struggle.
Ever since I saw your web page I was curious how your car would finally look like.
I'm looking forward to see it on Youtube driving down the street......
Regards,
Markus | |

Well done Bill, you certainly won't have a problem selling it now that it's a runner ...

That's great, Bill! Now I know why we haven't heard from you in a while. The engine sounds awesome! Good luck with the tune and post more video at speed.
