Injected guys do the slow start to fuck up the carbie guys (most carby engines flat spot down low due to not enough adjustability to compensate for the lack of vacume..) I used to get accused of jumping the start when I was the pole sitter :roll:

I just love the star picket safety fence. Why is when where young we don't have the money and when we get old we don't have the ability. Have all the fun while you can. Life is too short.
