Shift lights are more honest than your ear. If you spend hours figuring out the right gears for the track, and then don't shift at redline, you are losing time.

Get into 1990 and you bring in the the DB6. It would totally dominate. We had that happen in SEDIV CFC class years ago.

I was happy with a 7 x 20 V-nose. Had room for pit scooter, tools, and spares, yet could pull it with "1500/150" level vehicles, such as 5.4 gas Expeditions, 5.4 gas vans, pickups, etc.

After much study to learn what PAXing in autocross meant to us unwashed, I now understand why a Crosley Hot Shot was declared the winner of the 1950 Sebring race even though it didn't cover the most...

TimH in post #6 may have been talking about me. Years ago I said, "if you do a complete frame up on the car, and while doing it leave every tool you use laying on the floor, then those are the only...

Many engine builders have been recommending diesel oil in old style vintage engines (e.g. Kent, Pinto) for years. It's all about the additive package.
Also, Mobil 1 motorcycle oil...

Maybe disconnect bottom hoses on rads...

Sort of depends what you want to do with the car. Racing in SCCA involves following closely to a very defined rule structure. Racing in many other venues maybe not so much. There are many series...

Anyone watch the McMurtry with Max Chilton driving run at Goodwood (2022) on Friday?

Since most successful "amateur" racers now show up with semis, I don't see a problem if each brings their own generator on board. ;)

IMHO, a great forum to add to Apexspeed. :thumbsup:

Technology marches forward.

Check with Keith Averill @ Racing Stuff

I always used very large plumbing plyers, grabbing the rim where those two indents are.

YMMV

10 degrees isn't a big deal for the oil, and they had extended sumps with extended pickups... Besides which the oil would run back to the center because of the blinding acceleration forces.

To add to Steve's history lesson...

Early on you had to start the race with a functioning fan and belt... didn't mean you had to finish with one. ;)
