I would add something extra to help hold the radiator in place. This stock clamps do good, but they eventually pop loose. Everything else looks good. Are you running a floor shifter?

HARDHITIN- i run on nov.6 we have 2 shows that day 1 at 1:30 and 1 at 7. im thinking i may run the day time show because all the heats winners and 2nd place go to the feature during the 7:00 show so i can have all day to repair if i need it to winn the peature ;D. ETOWN- im not sure yet im thinking i may either let my son give me a number or go with sumthing scriptual.

Wish we had an all daylight show... No I take that back.. I wish MOST derbys had all daylight shows. Much easier to see, work, drive and film.
