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. |

Well, Yes and no,
I can't stand the way the standard gearbox shifts, even after working for Force racing in Missouri where the Ultimate transmission was developed. You may remember the ads "can you upshift hard and fast?" Yeah that was us. Even after modifying the trans it still shifts like shit. i did some initial work with a guy to put dawg ring gears into a 914 box and utilize the standard shift linkage, but the prototype cost was going to be about 10K and a 5 speed box about 5k with gearsets in the 250.00 range. If I had access to this board back then I may have been able to make it go, but the Hewland is the only choice. Will send you or post some photos this week. Erik |
