*If* we have enough entries for two heats of Nitro, then I can pit for you.

That is a major problem with Nitro.. Nice thing is my car will go 6 minutes on a tank, so I could easily borrow a pit guy that has another car running 5 minutes per tank. I wonder if my car will make 6:45. hmm..... Its almost the end of the season... Time to lean it out and see what happens.

6:45, damn.
I could get milage like that out of my 12tr but was also running slower laps overall. i think my tz3 is a 5 minute motor no questions. last week i pitted at 5:45ish and had to let off a ton when i reclaimed position. just using enough power to reach speed and coasting everywhere . still came off with fumes in the tank and just a little fuel in the tubing. 230f though. prob could have gone leaner.

Once I get my motor running better again, I will measure how much fuel I had left after a 5 minute race. I think its around 25ml, which is 1/3 a tank. The only reason is the low speed is really lean on my car, I think its the exhaust leak preventing enough fuel getting to the car until the revs are higher. Doesnt matter if the motor is hot or cold, but obviosly the motor runs hot after 10 minutes of running.
