Re: Vaccum System

You could also do what we did in 2004, and make your own vacuum pump. All you need is a motor and a pneumatic cylinder. As far as I know this would be legal under this year's rules, but there may be something in the manual I missed. (Pro Tip: Even if your frame is welded box aluminum, don't try to use it as an accumulator.)
