I have an IRS chassis on my '64 and use a quaife and running LOTS of torque a=

That said, an IRS rear end will almost always grip better than a live axle w=

Overly stiff rear sway bars is usually the culprit. I run 3/4" on mine. A lo=

Ah, The Kastner Cup at Heartland Park.
One of my favorite racing weekends of all time, a real treat.
My first Kastner Cup.
I barely made it to the track. I had stayed up for days straight trying to =
get my car ready. Upon arrival I was greeted with the warmth and friendship=
 of several the Great Triumph hero=92s I had, until then, only read about i=
n the funny pages.
My car broke in the first session.
A spectator, a GT6 guy named Brad brought me a moss covered barn find trans=
mission that we installed under the Kansas moonlight.
The next day I was racing again.
I have this distinct memory of Sam Halkias screaming up behind me in the Ca=
tawamba Marina TR6. Looking back through my wink mirror he waved, paused an=
d signaled to me with facial expressions and hand signals that only us auto=
 racers could understand saying =93nice job little buddy, here I come; I=92=
m now going to fly by you on your left side=94.
We partied, raced, bought an Ambro body and finished our first Kastner Cup =
there in Heartland Park.
When I got home, there it was, a long and personal email from Kas Kastner=
=85praising me, my dedication, the sound of my car, my driving style, and l=
ap by lap list of how many tenths of second I was improving each lap in a s=
egment of the track where he was taking =93splits=94.
I couldn=92t believe it.
It was the start of what Kas called our =93unique kinship=94
He sure had a nice way of motivating people.
Godspeed old pals.

Remember the test drive at around midnight at the lower RV parking lot =
after you got the trans installed, after it rained ?

I do. I got there late Thursday night and discovered Friday morning I =
had destroyed one of my trailer axles.  I managed to find an axle in =
Topeka.

Only after I was laying under the trailer on Saturday between races =
putting it in that the spring perches were wrong and I said out loud =
=E2=80=9C great, now I need a welder,

a torch and a grinder all the time thinking I was pretty screwed. I =
heard one of the spectators standing next to the car say =E2=80=9C I =
have all of that, I=E2=80=99ll be right back=E2=80=9D.

Sure enough he was in less than an hour. I moved the spring perches =
where they needed to be and continued on.

Great folks in Topeka.

My first Kastner Cup.

I barely made it to the track. I had stayed up for days straight trying =
to get my car ready. Upon arrival I was greeted with the warmth and =
friendship of several the Great Triumph hero=E2=80=99s I had, until =
then, only read about in the funny pages.

A spectator, a GT6 guy named Brad brought me a moss covered barn find =
transmission that we installed under the Kansas moonlight.

I have this distinct memory of Sam Halkias screaming up behind me in the =
Catawamba Marina TR6. Looking back through my wink mirror he waved, =
paused and signaled to me with facial expressions and hand signals that =
only us auto racers could understand saying =E2=80=9Cnice job little =
buddy, here I come; I=E2=80=99m now going to fly by you on your left =
side=E2=80=9D.

We partied, raced, bought an Ambro body and finished our first Kastner =
Cup there in Heartland Park.

When I got home, there it was, a long and personal email from Kas =
Kastner=E2=80=A6praising me, my dedication, the sound of my car, my =
driving style, and lap by lap list of how many tenths of second I was =
improving each lap in a segment of the track where he was taking =
=E2=80=9Csplits=E2=80=9D.

I couldn=E2=80=99t believe it.

It was the start of what Kas called our =E2=80=9Cunique kinship=E2=80=9D

Godspeed old pals.

Yea that was me.  When I revamp the suspension on it it would lift the =
rear wheel in very tight corners.  Softened the rear sway one adjustment =
and all was well.

That black 4A was owned by Dan Forgey and is now owned by Mark Eden.
I have an IRS chassis on my '64 and use a quaife and running LOTS of =
torque and never break an inside wheel loose but in Colorado we can run =
the Hoosier R7/SM7 DORT slicks. That has to be factored in.
That said, an IRS rear end will almost always grip better than a live =
axle with or without a LSD.
Overly stiff rear sway bars is usually the culprit. I run 3/4" on mine. =
A locker has always been out of the question for me.
