I've had more than that at every event since, including Saturday, and had no problems, but when it's at 1/4, if I find myself accellerating out of a fast corner, the engine cuts out. It really feels like fuel slosh, but I didn't think I'd be able to slosh it THAT bad, even at 1/4 tank. That's the only thing I can think of tho, since it won't do it at 1/2 tank. Looks like I will need to run more fuel from now on...
If it was in/after either the tank slapper tight section, or more likely the right hand sweepers, I'd lean towards a dry pickup issue.

We had quite a few heavy acceleration right handers on Sunday. Was it a clockwise course when you and Scott had problems?
