I still want an enclosed trailer to go along with it and have lined up first rights of refusal on a buddies.
After owning the much larger Class A setup (and quickly learning large RV life compromises and maintenance joys), a shorter more mobile Class C setup similar to yours with an enclosed hauler is on the agenda for family track outings. Glad to hear it's working out well for you and nice updates overall!

4.77 Tried that, didn't like it. How are you finding it?

Meh. Its less exciting than you think. 8100rpm with a 4.77 looks very similar to 7200rpm with a 4.3, regardless of the BP4W vs K24.

Also, I only have video of practice and I was being extremely timid. You'd really only want to see the qually laps and maybe race 2, but I need to work on camera placement/settings. I slapped it right onto the mount from my gopro, but form factor and the adaptor raised the actual lens quite a bit.

Its a corrective math issue. I absolutely love it, but again, i have an extra ~1000rpm compared to a BP.
The OSGiken is magical, as they always are.
