    US Track Times for GT40s

    Sorry about that. Yes the timing was different. Standing start on S/F line with a 3 lap run and flying finish. Do divide by three but then there is the standing start. For VIR on the front straight is zero versus 140+ MPH flying at the same point on the track.

    Using An Enclosed Trailer

    When I had my trailer specified I located the front door such that I could stop in the right place and open the GT40 door out of the trailer side door. Piece of cake.

    Theoretical Maximum Power

    Obviously this is complicated and depends on a lot of calculations. Basically the engine is an air pump and the heads and cam make the power. This assumes that the crank/rods can take the required RPM to get the power out of the heads/engine. Assuming you can get 100% volumetric eff. out of...

    The finer points of brake cooling

    Correct on energy. Sorry Ron for my quick post earlier. I think the Mk II's at LeMans had a problem of tremendous speed on the Mulsanne and thus great cooling followed by tremendous input of energy thus rotor seeing huge change in temp resulting in thermal shock and failure.

    The finer points of brake cooling

    This is why they went to behind the radiator position for air supply on Mk. IIb vs. IIa. It is documented in the original SAE papers. I have not heard of other cases though.

    The only time I got a hold of him was buying a new transaxle. Otherwise I have left many messages with no reply. Must be nice not to have competition!

    There are many shops that sell the swaged tubes (speedway motors, Howe, hrpworld.com etc.). They are low cost and use on lots of dirt cars, etc.

    rear view camera set up

    My solution works very well. Has 92 deg reverse video camera with IR lighting, and a 7" widescreen. The widescreen mounts to the roll bar at the very top of the roof just in front of the doors. Less forward obstruction then the normal mirror. IR light works great up to ~15 feet. Can back...

    bump steer

    There are several suspension geometry design/analysis packages out there that can let you analyze without cutting metal. You need to know all of the data (3-D pickup points, etc.). Example is "Susprog3d."
