Kit, I'll grant you light cars stopper better than heavy cars in most instances. I can't change the laws of physics. I do not agree that that a light car will be faster because it probably has a frac

Well Larry you do have a point, all else is not equal. It's all in the power to weight ratio and the shape of the torque curve. Typically light rice buckets have about 75% the weight of big Vettes, b

Jerry and others drive cars with horsepower. The Ghia doesn't have that (and neither does our 7), so speed has to be maintained throughout. My philosophy is to use brakes as little as possible becaus

Oooooh, I smell a challenge! But I don't think you need to be present to win. I think we can do this by lap time (autox style :)). I don't have times at Button Willow, but 1:55s at Sears and 1:46s a

I really wish that we could measure times at like 3 points around the course... it'd definitely be cool to see if your 45.6 and your 46.7 meant that you went 3 seconds slower in one part but a secon

The way I always understood it, a higher number indicates lower gearing, e.g.; 4.30 is lower than 3.42. I guess you'd say "lower" because for a given engine speed you get fewer wheel rpm with the hig

Then you toss in the rearend ratios. For instance, for years we ran a 4:55 rear. When we rebuilt the car, we went to a shorter (4:88) and found we had to shift too often, losing time. So we went to a

Sure, the rear end ratio would be included if one is measuring the total gear ratio from the crankshaft to the wheel. That would be the transmission ratio multiplied by the differential ratio. For ex
