    Speed Week August 3rd to 9th- Bonneville, UT

    Jokes anyone? -

    I can't comment on their tires but I can relate a story about the Shadow team back in the Can-Am days. I was working on the crew of Bob Peckham's M8C MacLaren. In practice at Laguna Seca on Saturday, the engine in Bob's car broke its timing chain and, fortunately, George Bolthoff, the fellow who...

    SPF Drivetrain Install

    VERY sound advice, Howard. I did a similar thing on my black Mirage to make it as easy as possible to remove the engine and transaxle as one unit. I fabricated a simple cradle structure to allow it to be lifted by undoing a few bolts as well as coolant pipe & electrical connections and CV joint...
