I used this past weekend's Waterford Hills race as my first test session for the new car.
They threw this picture on the Waterford Hills website. Just thought I'd share it. (IMG:http://www.waterfordhills.com/gallery/jgr5y0414.jpg) Learned a lot this weekend, like how some lug nuts don't fit some wheels, how I needed more front flare (notice the flare extensions) and how much I can squeeze out of my Optima before I don't get enough juice to run (no alternator). More learning to come on 11-12 Sept, but this time at Mid-Ohio. |

EP 2.0 liter six coming at ya big daddy
If it will make the HP numbers it can be a good car, but the carbs and valve sizes are the limiting factor, as well as the brakes. The spec line should read. ...... 46 mm weber type carbs with 42mm venturis 2.0 liter "s" head with 46mm intake and 42 mm exhaust valves allowed Alternate front brake caliper Alloy "S" caliper with 3.5 inch bolt hole spacing. This would enable this car to run near the front. Cure the overheated brakes, cure the underpowered engine. etc.... I thought you might want to see the carbon fiber oil sump enclosure.
