I was the only car that ran the entire day with the transponder not working, at 4:30pm the times had not been posted for my group. Last time on a road course for me was RG 2004. This was my 1st time on a road course with the TT.ġst time with sticky tires as well. I had just re-installed the Baer brakes and was dialing in my bias during the session with Dean and prior. I just don't think a GT40 can out run Jeffs Ultima.įran, since you were not in attendance here's a few facts: Dean's RCR was working well and he's a great driver. Here is Jeffs reply to what happen at the r&g to Fran Hall. Huge power/CID numbers are great for bragging rights, but when the Run 'N' Gun event is over, it's often the competitors with the lower numbers who are actually doing the bragging. Sure, the megamotors can drive by the 4 and 6 cyllinder vehicles on the long straight, but those lighter, less powerful vehicles often pass the megamotored megaliths on the twisties (again, IMHO, where the road course races are won or lost). I attribute this to two factors-first, the lower torque output of the SBF compared to the monster motors allows the power to be "put to the ground" more effectively, thereby allowing for faster 60' times, and IMHO that's where most of the 1/4 mile events are won or lost second, on the road course, the lower weight of the SBF engines equates (again, IMHO) to increased handling. I frequently refer them to the Run 'N' Gun race results, in which it was a surprise at first to find the fastest cars were most often the SBF engined sort, not the 514 CID megamotors. I am active on a number of automotive forums, some Cobra related, and I must admit that it amazes me to see potential builders drooling over mega-CID engines.
