Mike, if no one else has opined, try this as a starter:

19/31; 22/30; 24/28; 25/27

You can try a 19/32 first if your engine is particularly revvy - useful in the last turn.
Use 25/26 top if...

Great input. However, it only solves part of the problem. SVRA jumped without thought -as my dad used to say to me (too often) "please engage brain before opening mouth".

Good point - thank you for that. I have just now made my feelings known to SVRA.

This is an unnecessary can of worms that was motivated by the desire to make a quick buck rather than review...

This is a puzzling.

We are vintage racing, not SCCA. Over the history of FF, SCCA continually screwed with the rules and finally screwed up FF completely. Meanwhile, the UK and Europe continued...
