I vintage race a 2.0L six single plug narrow body 914, and for years used a Patrick Motorsport “901” style flywheel and Centerforce 215mm clutch package. I would like to go to their 5.5” clutch and ultralight flywheel, and I understand all the advantages, but I don’t know if that’s offset by lurching around the paddock and in and out of my trailer, and shorter clutch life. Will I forget about that on the track?
Thanks for the advice, Gavin |

Then pick how fast you want to spend.
I've been doing this racing-thing long enough (over a third of a century) to recognize that the juice sometimes just ain't worth the squeeze. Especially when we're talking about historics/vintage racing where your speed is not limited by prep regs, rather by how much you want to spend, and there's no prize at the end except for pride. Plus, there's always someone whose wallet is a whole lot more prouder than mine. But other wallets clearly disagree with mine... |
