Elviss- Well the lap record at my local track was done by a buggy driver, but he's the best in the country...lol

Cougar- I take it your hyper st came with the Macstar engine ? It is a pretty tight motor when brand new, and when breaking in a new motor you should pre-heat it with a heat gun, hair dryer or blow torch (my fav and easily transportable) to loosen it up making it easier to start. After putting a quarter gallon through it you shouldn't need to pre-heat it anymore. semper fi
