Its for your track drive shaft.... maybe to hold on a reluctor wheel for your speedometer????? Some have a cable (srx) and some have a trigger wheel for a pickup to measure track speed!!! Do I win a prize??????? Gary Oles nosboy

it is the drive shaft bolt that holds the speedo pickup sensor on.normally i would say leave it off just added weight but you might want to know how fast you are going :)

I need to fix my speedo gear on my viper. Man you can go fast when you switch to 8 tooth drivers. I just can't remember to take 1 or 2 teeth off. Maxdlx

1 tooth for 9's, 2 teeth for 8's. i have 8's with 2 teeth removed and it seems real close to accurate.

a dremel with a fiber cut off wheel. then i finished it with a 1/4" sanding drum. 2 teeth opposite sides.
 
it is the speedo bolt, i don't know what the hole is for, but it is for sure the speedo bolt
 
I have a theroy on it. It calls for locktite on the threads, and it goes in the drive shaft end, where there is no way for air to escape. If you didn't have a hole in the bolt it would act like hyralics, and cause problems. What ya think Maxdlx
 
some application require the speedo cable to go through the bolt!!!! Now you know!!!!Gary Oles nosboy
