So: Who won this race?krjockey wrote:...Hi Dale, since you've told us a few times that there is no way my KR can beat the the Pioneer, why not make it a proper race. Point A to point B, no navigating. That way we will REALLY see who is the fastest. Name the time and place! O ja, what is the VNE on the P300? nou weer?
krjockey wrote:And the answer is...... KR2. Powered by Volksie nogal. :D Flamingo second then Pioneer.
So, the KR2 is still very, very good value for the money and/or engine size, even to this day!dale wrote:Well done Ferdi
You and your KR flew the pants off of the opposiition.
Good luck with your quest for those records.
Dale
Keep well all,
