The cars in town are really more of a parade lap into town (not really an autox)
they park in town on the street and display for a half hour and then tour back.

The race is a full race track set up on the runways of the navy
Its where the fighter jets normally land/take off.
(I think maybe where they filmed the top gun scenes)

Its on base, and one of the few times where they allow civilians to come on base.
they have about 300 cars racing wheel to wheel in 10 run groups
plus air shows of the navy equiptment and seals doing skydiving into the track
oh... and tours of some of the ships, aircraft carriers etc...

I'm bummed you didn't make it in
its a 3 day race and the paddock is open
approximately 20,000 spectators.

I didn't tour into town that evening, but I ran the 3 days of the event.
We had a good number of 914's, including Hans with his Real factory built GT-twin plug, and the Altec-Lansing 914 was running also.

last season we did some more experimenting with our tranny cooler.
ran a scoop in the passenger side window opening to pull cooler air
alot more air was the result and the tranny gauge showed the temp drop.

here is the new scoop to the same old cooler:

How about a plexiglass side window with a NACA duct?

Thank you
And definitely!

I should be at fleetweek for the HMSA festival of speed on Coronado island. COTA for the national vintage championchip with SVRA in Austin. Hallet Oklahoma with CVAR. Plus events in Colorado and Nebraska yet this year with RMVR

I'm praying for the price of diesel to stay down

Hey Brant,
Have you had a chance to finish the duct work? Looking to know if you had an improvement with the trans cooler?

Shane,

I did run about 5-6 races with this new duct in the passenger side window
post #544 The silver hose goes onto the back of the duct at the rear window area.

it dropped my trans quite a bit.. another 10-15 degree's with the same trans/motor/cooler/etc.


now I'm building a new engine lid to allow the hose to pass through...

Spent last weekend doing winter maintenance and corner balancing with Dad. Just want the archive this here.

Wet with 4 gallons of fuel
(I forgot to switch the wheels or would have beat my weight goal with the Hoosiers)
