No race Marc, just fun running here.

last weekend I burned 6 liters of fuel with this boat.... And I just had to stop in fact of a broken header flange. No big issue, have to visit the welder this week for repair.

Welder???? you can't make a new one???? ;D is it the mhz flange, i ask because i am having minor o ring problems, but will know alot more, this sunday, worked out a few more bugs today, i think the o rings in the mhz flange are a wee bit big, Jeroen's flange is a little bigger than most headers, but a little 2 stroke oil during assembly help's thing's seat a bit better, so nothing get's pinched, i can't wait till we push her to her limit! time will tell.

Phil,
my flanges are from Jeroen. They are the big ones, they use the same o-ring size as the M&D or CC pipe. I tested the teflon rings because they work great on my 100 degree header in the mono. But in the skater they are too stiff because the headers are s-type (wrap-forward) and too heavy. So i will go back to viton o-rings here.
