I got the motors in today for the hand-outs.

As hand-outs, they will go for $11 each on the day of the particular race.

They are available now at the raceway for $12.95 each for those wanting to test or run them on the flat track.

The ones not used as hand-outs will be engraved as shown below: "NHO" (not hand-out).

Note: these are only available at the raceway for the Sano until Jerry receives and ships out his main shipment of these early November.

Absolutely no mail order sales.

BTW, I grabbed three random motors and they had 0, 1, and 2 balance marks on them.

They all ran smoothly.

So this is a JK Retro Hawk FK motor? Is this the motor that was just approved by IRRA™ that Noose posted?

I entered a few FK hand-out races and did a few exhibition qualifying laps with the JK Retro Hawk.

With the Can-Am car I ran 4.708 with, while Tracy Chin stopped by to pay his tab, Howie hot lapped it around to a 4.705.

The Howie magic must have worked, because before they left the parking lot, I turned a 4.701, a 4.671, and a 4.645.

You should have ran a JK spec class this year. That would have been fun...

These motors are terrific. Many guys who ran in the FK classes used them for all the races. Some ran more than one main. Be main, too. Brush wear was minimal. Gearing was anywhere from 9/29 to 8/26. None blew up on the king at all at 13.5 volts.

I ran one on the flat track in Can-Am and it was really good.

They are winners in my book. Easy to tech, too.

These motors are great, You can even do a water break-in with no problems as I did. Cap ran one at 3 volts for three hours and it looked like it was just broken in. Real easy to check for brush wear with the big window in the can.

Great motor for raceways to run a race program around as well as Retro racing. Looks like they will be lighter then the new Falcon also. They have decent brakes too, unless you get crazy with the gearing. Way to go, Jerry.

Yea, bring back JK Spec. With that motor and the new JK Ti22 body that should be some close racing. A lot of bang for your buck.
