I raced mine for the 1st time at about 2,500 mi. I would have done it
sooner, I just couldn't find the time.
I have 17,000+ trouble free mi. on it now and about 50 passes, with more
to come. I race brackets now on Fri. nights.
The only thing about making a pass now is, the motor is still a little
tight and will only et in the low 16's or high 15's at about 84-86mph.
Other than that, it won't hurt a thing IMHO. Alan S.
