I used this past weekend's Waterford Hills race as my first test session for the new car.
They threw this picture on the Waterford Hills website. Just thought I'd share it. (IMG:http://www.waterfordhills.com/gallery/jgr5y0414.jpg) Learned a lot this weekend, like how some lug nuts don't fit some wheels, how I needed more front flare (notice the flare extensions) and how much I can squeeze out of my Optima before I don't get enough juice to run (no alternator). More learning to come on 11-12 Sept, but this time at Mid-Ohio. |

Kevin,
Glad to see you made it, and under the bar (roll that is). Still working on my EP 914-6, have made some major progress, but still delayed. Just got my cylinder heads back from port development with John Andruk of Circle Performance in Brockton MA. Great job, well worth the wait. I also had to modify the front flairs currently available. The EP front track is wider than the FP car, and it really is close. Lastly, I pick up the Hewland gearbox on Friday (tomorrow), geared it for my local track I normally test at (Loudon NH). Maybe if we are lucky and Bontempi, Wicker all go to the Runoffs maybe we could have a 914 tent in the main Paddock. I'd love to thumb my nose at the Toyota, Nissan, Mazda "factory" guys. Erik Madsen Wrenching as we speak! |
