    Thanks guys! It is a really clean car for a race car but only ran that one season.

    Yes this was Nick's car.

    Once I get all the fluids changed and go through everything I will start buying the spec carb parts. I can't wait to get this out on track.

    Also I emailed Adrian about the car number last night. I sure don't want to have change all that up.

    I don't remember seeing that car at more than two races.......maybe three. I don't think it ran even one full season.

    Bob Denton knows how to make a 3rd gen turn. I say this not knowing who set the thing up in the first place.

    All I know is what I was told. I know right now I am under powered and probably not enough brakes. Transmission is not the best either but gonna run her till she brakes. Boy I have a lot to do.


    No idea who set it up either. I am going to try and run it as is, at the end of Jan.

    Thanks for the info supercharged.

    if you are new to racing it will be a while before you will need the extra power or brakes. For a long time a 3rd gen at 230/300 held the CMC track record at Cresson and that was on a smaller tire. If you are indeed new to racing just get the car to handle and get that seat time. Seat time seat time seat time.

    You are 100% correct and I know its all about seat time.

    I just want to know what I will need as I progress. Hopefully I can start buying what I want before I need it. lol.

    Current car runs on rails thanks to previous owner so I need to get this on track as soon as possible. Learning setup is going to be key.

    Thanks for the input.
