New steering wheel - 350mm, plus video from UFO on Sunday Options

[Randal]

If you are planning on using a steering quickner then keep your 13.75 or 14 inch steering wheel. I went down to a 12.25 inch and with the quickner it required more torque than the driver could manage in a 4.25 minute (65 corner) session at Medford.

I've found a 350mm (13.75") wheel with exactly the dish I want, so will be installing that shortly. The different size will require 12% more motion, but there will be less load which is my primary objective. Guessing the load will decrease 12%, but correct me if that is fuzzy math.

I do like the quickner for a bunch of reasons.

Here is a video from last Sunday at the UFO event. Tough little course to master in 4 runs. Ended up 4th overall after catching a cone on the last corner of my fastest run.

5 big time mistakes in the video run, but good to watch as you learn from your mistakes, some of which were just basic stuff.

Yea, and could you believe that weather. The Marina afternoons are typically Alaska weather, but not on Sunday.

BTW Bill Charron won the event in his narrow bodied 914. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/flag.gif)
