Joe, you have compelled me to contribute something "on topic" for js72mav to consider while making his ignition choices.

I can easily come up with a dozen solid reasons to pick the crank trigger over a distributer ignition but consistency is one that applies to all racing types. The timing is constantly changing with a distributer type as already noted but even more than you might expect as oil viscosity or engine oil temp changes. Additionally, distributer drive component wear necessitates constant monitoring of timing throughout the season not to mention that slippery chrome clamp (never use one) letting things adjust themselves at the most inopportune times.

But I suppose if you're the kind of racer that's always holding a tenth, I guess consitency is overrated.
