MR-03 With a Reflex Twist!!!






Well, as I told you guys, my next time at the track was at the Tekin Nationals in San Jose, CA. I had every intention in practicing during my vacation in Guatemala Ciy over the break, but the track was also closed there over Christmas and New Year's, plus, I was just busy relaxing and enjoying my family and friends, so gimme a break! :P

Where do I start? Right before I left on vacation, I finally received the prototype Long King Pins as well as the delrin balls and the FRP T-Plates for the MR-03, (this time we are doing MM and 96mm plates). I also received prototypes for some T-Bar mounts and the V2 spurs, but I was not entirely satisfied with the results, so I submitted some revisions to the factory so that we can get them "just right." Hopefully the new prototypes should get here by the end of the month. The production parts for the front end pieces and the T-Plates should arrive sometime within the next 10 days(fingers crossed).

Here are the set-ups I ran:
