    I'll bet eight gears was used for desert events with lots of wide open stretches.

    That is correct. High speed in the desert flats.

    Great job. :thumbsup:

    From my point of view I like to see the before and after pictures. You can then fully appreciate the amount of work which happens to get to the end result. Also the passing on of knowledge, problems solved etc...

    Please post before/during pictures if you have any.
