Full Version: HSR Daytona Nov 8-12
Sebring has taken a toll on the suspension. Zotz's Racing is meticulously prepping my car for Daytona and fixing rear suspension and body cracks. They are adding some structural reinforcement and building a new swing arm that catastrophicly failed at Sebring. Nothing was found in the three oil filters, so just a valve adjustment and torque the heads was needed. Trans is being gone through and M,S,X gears are being swapped in. I would invite people to the testing October 6-8, but it's a private event. Hope to see you at Daytona in November. Click to view attachment Click to view attachment
I've done HPDE at Daytona...you'll want a taller gear than X...I was on the rev limiter with stock gearing...I'll try to attach video here...

Thank you for sharing your insight and video. My car is a 2.0 six that redlines at 8000, so I hope I'm geared correctly. Ron Zitza suggested the gears based on his previous experience racing the car at Daytona. It was quite the challenge getting an S gear. I'm testing there to sorts out any issues. Thanks again for sharing your insight.

my good friend Tom Breist runs his 914-6 with Zotz!
I've got a lot of respect for Zotz, no doubt. But those welds are less than stellar.

Let's hope they look better in person. I use to live in NYC, but now live in St Pete. We should get together some time.

I believe he has the yellow car with 2.4 L.
If the same guy we were paddocked together with Zotz's at the Sebring HSR race. My car is a 2.0, so he qualifies well ahead of me.

Yes, Tom's car is yellow. He keeps wanting me to get back into it for Enduros!

I have my tickets already. 
I'd have to default to the builder, and suggest the mindset for a race car may have allowed for cosmetically challenged welds.
