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. |

What is the rule about shifters/ shift linkage in EP?
I will look for one of the tube type coolers, I have a catalog in front of me that has one in it from setrab. It looks like it goes in line with a brake cooling duck. I have sent several letters to SCCA requesting more allowances for us. The last one, I asked for 914-6 GT spec (46 webers, twin plug, bigger brakes, hole in front trunk, etc), that would have been great. I get denied every time. I have been doing enough shakedown at Summit Point though that I know that the car could be competitive in it’s current configuration, well at least at Summit Point. The brakes are fine as long as you have adequate cooling. The motor is a little weak, I agree, I figure 190hp is about the most you are going to get out of that configuration. Maybe if there are enough of us out there, we can get them to change the rules. |
