I am qualified for the scca runoffs at laguna. This video was a race this year. I need to find 4 seconds a lap if I want to run up front. I still need to work out the jetting on my Solex carbs

You are Albert, correct?
Sounds good man. You're definitely giving them hell. I saw a couple areas where it looks like you're turning in early then stabbing the gas to get the car to turn. I bet a few more laps under your belt would help with confidence turning in later and holding momentum through the turns, but you probably already know that stuff. What's going on with the Solexes? |

Which Solexes are your running? Greg McNair might be a good guy to call. He heading to the Cascade Lakes Hill Climb this week, but will be back next. |

The carbs are P40s. In that video they were running really rich off the bottom. We tried different jets. Every time we change the main jet we have to change air corrector jet. My racing line is different because I am driving around the carb problem. |

Excellent vid. Thanks for sharing.
I'm a Weber guy but the Solex design has emulsion tubes and A/C jets similar to the Weber. Are emulsion tubes available that will give you low velocity mixture weakening (similar to the Weber F11)? You'd still have to change the A/C jet to adjust the high velocity mixture. |

Have you done anything to the stock shift linkage? Besides freshen up the bushings? I know from my own car missing a shift or struggling to find third throws me off my rhythm. Looks like you are having difficulties there too.
It wont amount to 4 secs a lap but it will certainly get you smoother and more confident. Miguel |

I haven't been to the regional races because I was racing the nationals. I'm all quailed now. I should be at the September race. How is your car running ? You get that trans all patched up? |
