Late8pex had a question which triggered a thought for me.
I've heard from people I trust.. that the sheetmetal/engine shelf is not necessary on a race only 4 cylinder car..... So group and brad... what is the consensus regarding this for a 6 cylinder race only car... On my conversion trailered race car... can I cut the engine shelf out if my class rules allow it? (ditto for the engine tin?) TIA brant |

Interesting question. Most of the cars I've seen locally had the full shelf & tin in place. I suspect it would make a big difference if your car is setup for quick autox bursts (1-2 minutes) vs. extended time-trial practice sessions or even enduros (20 mins +).
Not exactly on topic, but I noticed recently that Jim Patrick's HSR 2.0 car has a custom rear "sub floor". He is running normal engine tin though.  |
