Try the "Street View" with google maps and you will be on track with ALMS cars. Street view also goes through the paddock, parking and camping areas during the ALMS weekend.

If you run PIR I highly recommend you run with the Lotus club, Club Lotus Northwest They put on two track days a year, the Friday's before Memorial Day and Labor Day weekends. The only caveat is they typically do not run a novice session. They usually run intermediate, advanced, and race car...

On a radius rod I am not sure that it matters, as long as the clevis is angled to align with the rod. Mounting it so the bolt is vertical is the safe way to do it. In this orientation the bolt should be inserted from the top so the head of the bolt is on top and the nut is on the bottom. If...

Yes. Most cars have some sort of rubber isolation mounts for the exhaust. This is to allow expansion, twist, vibration and general movement. The springs allow the exhaust to move a little in the mounts. This is also true for slip fit exhaust pipes with springs holding them together. It allows...

The point of the springs is to allow expansion. If your exhaust and headers are constrained they will eventually crack.

The Unicell looks good. Here is another option. Just a standard cab-over with a custom short box on the back. I would use a hydraulic lift over the long ramps though. The nice thing with those cab over trucks is the wide choice of engines you can get. Anything from a 4 cylinder turbo diesel to...

Don't forget the "TD" line from Hoosier. They make a 27.5x11.0-15 that might work for a rear and 25.5x8.5-15 that might work on the front. It is in the vintage style. I ran these on my Lotus Europa (smaller size) years back. They are great drivers tires on the track. Can you find faster tires...

The adjustment on an arm is just a simple lever. If you are going from 8” to 9” then divide 8 by 9 = 0.888 0.888 times the roll stiffness (from the bar) Or if you are going from 10” to 5” it would be 10 / 5 = 2 2 times the roll stiffness (from the bar) This is your force factor...

The diameter has a lot to do with it. The further away the material is from the axes the more rigid it will be. Angle = (T*L)/(G*J) T = torque L = length G = Shear Modulus J = polar moment of inertia As long as T L and G are staying the same we only have to solve for J For a solid shaft...
