Ingenuity Powder System

Whenever I pre order something like this I usually just forget about it and whenever I get the email I'm excited about it again. Id assume you all probably already have ways of measuring powder so why all the worries about when it will be released. It seems everyone has faith that it will be the bees knees so just be patient. I don't have anything more then a chargemaster right now so whenever I do see this it will be a huge upgrade.

Ozarks isnt nearly as bad as it seems IMO. Even the first time I went I was like "this isnt as bad as people make it out to be". MOST of the "haters" of Ozark that tell you how dangerous it is have never been... but thats the case with almost everything these days when somebody tells you how to do something and you say "how many times have you done it that way" and the answer is "well ive heard" or "I watched it on youtube" or "ive been elsewhere so that corelates to this also"... the answer is they have never been somewhere or done something that they want to give their opinion or expert advice on. None of my track buddies will tell you Ozark is dangerous. Does it require a bit more skill than other tracks, sure, but dangerous...no. Its an FIA rated track so its got runoff, armco, tire walls, sand traps, etc... where they need to be.

To be fair, I've heard similar comments about "dangerous" regarding NCM and it being my home track my response is "wat?" Its not Putnam or Gingerman being wide open, and runoffs aren't as large as Mid-Ohio/Barber/Road Atlanta, but I would never call it "dangerous". I do think its probably a track that could bite, especially on a first visit going full send...but isn't that most tracks?

More than one person has told me Ozarks is an absolute blast, it is on my list to get to (right after VIR and Road America, probably before Watkins Glen).

Is bedding the AR barrel a myth? What's the best way?

I did forget to mention, after the smear it's good to lightly spritz (mist is probably a better word) the barrel end with water because the H2O helps cure the silicone in the tight space. Without the spritz it's almost like transferring silicone from one container to another and it may never fully cure.

There are automotive silicone products too that cure a bit stiffer, but they don't have the needed hi temp rating.
I have never tried that. Thanks for tip. Been using the Loctite bearing mount
