I would ask same question over at the Pylon racer's forum.

Only thing there is they tend to think of over-powering it with some late model glow engine.

Status: offline 		Well, used to see the boxes hanging off store racks for long time, for I think they were available in to teh late 1980's. Apparently the TRUE racers stayed away from them. They were fast in name only. Out there on the course, they did not live up to their namesake. Thus when one fellow came in a bought one, word got around, and no one else bought one afterwards. I got one on sale and mounted up some (well used) K&B .40 in it.
