I wonder if this is legal ?
Alan,

I would check with your division tech director and get clarification from them on legality. There are a few reasons why you would not want to run a hydraulic setup even if it's not a class car.

Do you want to go rounds and consistently cut a light? It's hard enough with a mechanical setup to cut a light constantly, then add the reaction rate of the fluid and those components. Depending on the ambient temperature, the viscosity is going to add another factor on your reaction.

Either way, good luck.

Sean
