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. |

Jake,
I hope you did not think I was talking about you. The "cookbook" that I am talking about is the guys claiming they have 220hp for a 2.0 liter six because they have the 906 pistons,cams.carbs etc... My only experience with the 2.0 liter four in prod was years ago, and with Dave Finch doing the engines to the rules at that time, 195 hp was on tap, but not for long, based on the weight Kevin needs to carry, 195hp in his car should do very well, at his weight, if you make 195 at the crank, and I think you may do a little better than that, but at 195hp his lbs per hp is 9.5, so it will take just over 200hp to be able to run with the Miatas, but don't kid yourself, the top running guys all are somewhere near 9.0-9.25 lbs per hp, anything under that and it is time to pack up and run with the small dogs, and none of us is interested in that. Make that kind of Hp and maybe I will convert, the four cylinder car has better weight distribution anyway. Erik Madsen also Attached image(s) |
