Quick ? though - I noticed the oil filter mounting location, is that to run a bigger filter or just to make the change out easier during a race? What kind of oil do you all run, and do you use premix? Just curious. I would like to get into that class of racing some day!

It is both to run the bigger and better filter, as well as to allow us to run the armor braided line. Also, the oil filter housing also gives us ports for both oil pressure and oil temperature sensors. So that little thing gives us many advantages.
We use Red Line 50 wt race oil, which is fully synthetic. We also premix with Red Line Two-Stroke oil to the tune of about 1 ounce per gallon. And we still run the oil metering pump. Trans fluid is a mix of Red Line MT-90 and ATF, while Differential fluid is Red Line 75w90 Gear oil.
For coolant we run distilled water (about 3 gallons worth considering the size of the radiator and coolant reservoir) and 2 bottles of Water Wetter.
As for building the cage, our fabricator just moved to Indianapolis, so we are looking around for a suitable cage builder. Once we find one we will be happy to point you in his direction, although I am sure there are some closer to you.
