Sebring has taken a toll on the suspension. Zotz's Racing is meticulously prepping my car for Daytona and fixing rear suspension and body cracks. They are adding some structural reinforcement and building a new swing arm that catastrophicly failed at Sebring. Nothing was found in the three oil filters, so just a valve adjustment and torque the heads was needed. Trans is being gone through and M,S,X gears are being swapped in. I would invite people to the testing October 6-8, but it's a private event. Hope to see you at Daytona in November.

My car is a 2.0 six that redlines at 8000, so I hope I'm geared correctly. Ron Zitza suggested the gears based on his previous experience racing the car at Daytona. It was quite the challenge getting an S gear. I'm testing there to sorts out any issues. Thanks again for sharing your insight. |
