Wally The current entry list is at SVRA | Sportscar Vintage Racing Association under the VIR page. Not all the entries are shown yet. We will be there with one SPF GT40 and some Lola T-70's. We lost one GT40 last week testing at VIR, but will have it back for COTA later this year. Hope to...

John Change your intake gaskets. The Felpro gaskets fall apart at the bottom with the Ethanol gas. It starts sucking oil from the valley. Use Cometic or Edelbrock gaskets. I bet your oil consumption has also gone up. Good luck Dennis.

We have a brand new Ford GT Ricardo transaxle for sale. Still in the Ford Crate. $15,500 FOB NC Dennis Olthoff (704)647-9924

Thanks guys. I found 2 rooms in Portsmouth. Thanks Dennis.

Who is going? Does anyone know of any accommodation still available in the area? I need 2 rooms from Thursday 13th to Monday 17th. I got a last minute invite and now it is a total scramble. Thanks Dennis Olthoff.

The RBT uses the BMW M1 spline. It is 29 mm x 10. Mcleod has the correct hubs. Part number for the disc only 272180R. The R is for a offset hub, which moves the hub closer to the box for better spline engagement. The pilot bearing on the M1 shaft is 12 mm, so either make a bronze unit, or we...

Jeff What are you looking for? I have quite a few sessions logged with the GT40. Lap times around 1.33. Unfortunately no camera. Send me a PM and I can e-mail it. Dennis.

Ron We are bringing a GT40R. It is a last minute entry as we just got back from Road America. Both cars are intact and we had no issues so we will be at VIR. Road America was great. I managed to beat Peter Kitchak (Lola T70 MKIII) on Saturday in the qualifying race. We swapped the lead 4...

Any members going? We will be running 2 cars in Group 5. Swing by in the paddock and say hi. Thursday is test day with all the racing Friday thru Sunday. Peter Brock should be hanging around our spot as well. Cheers. Dennis.

Richard They are shrouding the gas fill area to stop fumes intruding the cabin area. It is a bit of a pain when retro fitting fuel cells though. Cheers Dennis.

Finally a chance to chime in. At Road America I was just touching 6200 rpm. With the tire diameter and gearing it calculates to 174 mph. The bias ply Good Years do grow slightly at speed so I would guess 175 would be accurate. At Road Atlanta we were just over 6000 rpm on the back straight...

We have got some quotes on enclosed transport from our shop in NC to Road America. Fully bonded and insured carrier. They will pick up on the 13th of July. Deliver RA morning of the 16th. Return pick up 19th and back in NC afternoon 21st. Cost is $1300 round trip. If anyone is interested...

Dave Call me - We have some available. (704) 647-9924 Dennis

First drive with the ZFQ today. Same as the prototipe - smooth. The shift on this box is a lot easier than the ZF. No noise or gear whine. We are jigging up our cable shift pieces. On the first one in our car it is a makeshift but the second one is going in the car now and it is even better...

We will be running from about 8:30 am till 5 pm on Monday and Tuesday. Anyone is welcome. If you beg you could even get a ride in one of the GT40's. Ron - if your car breaks you know where we are. Dennis.

We are having another driver training open track event South Course VIR on the 26th and 27th May. At this stage we have 5 Superformance GT40's coming, lots of Cobras, a few Mustangs, Porsches, Vipers and Loti. Anyone is welcome to attend. It will also be the first track test for the new...

Jeff Spoke to the ZF guys in Austin. 2 questions: Were you driving the car when it happened? or Was it like that on install and it will not come out of reverse? What can happen is the reverse gear can be bumped to the next detent if dropped in shipping. We have heard of 2 trannies with...

Rick, The Lola pictured is currently owned by Allen Grant (ex Shelby driver) The restoration is about complete. The last photos I saw were beautiful. I will ask Allen to post some pics on the forum. He can also give the whole history on how he got it. It is amazing. This was the first V8...

The corners on the fuel tanks are square, not rounded. All Safir and originals had rounded edge. Also no covers are fitted to top of the tanks. Edge is also not rolled like the original stampings. My 02 cents Dennis Olthoff.

Thanks to DBLDREW. You hit the nail on the head. We specked a 3.77 for highway use. Our first tests were with 4.22 gears. They are terrible. May work with a low torque 8000 rpm screamer, that is useless in traffic or below 3500 rpm. We ran VIR Soth Course the last 2 days. Gear ratios were...
