I had not figured out that this EAG C+C was going to be at the Pinnacle - thanks for that update.

This weekend:

EAG Saturday April 6th

Harpers Sunday April 7th

Stopped at Weigels to get a cold drink @ 7:20 this morning. When I came back out the lower radiator hose had blown apart - dumped all antifreeze out of the cobra. Fixed that in 20 minutes, but waited 2.5 hours for the engine to cool off before refilling with water (you can call me chicken if you lik...

This Sunday - July 15th.

After my first run, I was so scared that I coasted about half the way up the hill coming into the 180. Fun though! I have to admit I was chicken lifting coming into the last 180 because it was a little blind in the Cobras, either that or I was blind from screaming up the hill with the acceleration ...

You had a better day than the EVP of GM driving the pace car over a crest yesterday at DetroitGP...

I think he got some air with the inside front too.

May I add:

It's a very funny thing to me that scca can throw anything american (including kit cars) into three classes on street tires with pretty much no other rules (and that's a success story)...

And still needs 60 more classes to sort everything else out.

Maybe I'm the crazy one....

Digs and turnarounds suck - even in power cars.

heh

"ca-thunk"

G-O-O-O-O-O-O-A-L-!-!-!

P.S.

I have also heard of issues related to IRS vs solid axle.

IRS axles lock in differently - if the unit wasn't machined for that application it won't work - the axles won't lock in the carrier.

No problems with my 8.8 IRS True Trac.

Couldn't remember if JY was IRS or not.

Best as I recall the torque differential of the True Trac is higher than the T2 but lower than the T2R, but the True Trac doesn't use clutches to get there like the T2R - simply different angles on the helical gears. Seems like Auburn gear also made one that looked promising (could not find it in a ...

Interesting that the same trans is used in the Mustang as well as the later model C6 Corvettes. You might find this interesting too... The earlier 6 speed was the T56 - used in Viper, Mustang, Corvette, Camaro, Firebird, GTO, Cadillac CTS-V, and others. Although they were all "T56", the i...

The last one I changed had to be chiseled out too.

I even machined a custom size punch for grease / bread etc - didn't work...

The secret is to go often enough and be fast enough to get to be friends with the people that work there. But the kid manning the kart station said they're all the same... :lol: When I figured out for a fact they were turning karts up + down to help their buddies ratings / rankings / times... It wa...
