VRG went to a new track, Dominion Raceway in Thornburg, Va. last weekend, Oct 21-23. Had a great time and liked the layout of the track the more I drove it. Here's a video of the first sprint race Sunday morning for Group 1. My teener was running fairly good and the tires had good grip. Surprising end to the race...well, at least for me.

Yes, running stock 4 cyl gears, not good for some tracks, good for some others, I do have other boxes and a stash of gears, but don't know what I really want yet. Engine is a close to stock, Weber carb'd, 2.4 six with about 180 at the wheels. Car weighs in at about 2060 dry.

Thast gear set seems to do well for me at Watkins Glen, not so great at NJ Motorsports Thunderbolt. Dominion Raceway is good as well as VIR, but Summit Point, not great. Pitt Race is another good one for the stock gear set, so, I may just live with what I have since I won't be changing out boxes out depending on the track.

Mike, you probably know/have this but in case not, there is a '901 gear chart' Excel spreadsheet that is super helpful and I'll shoot you my version if you want.
