[Fot] gearbox legality

[Fubog1 at aol.com]

"But all the same, I do think since a majority of TR
drivers are running  the Triumph box successfully, those that invest in
the alternate boxes are  copping out."

If one does his homework & has the ability & budget to allow,  there are a 
few gearbox options that are better shifting, reliable, better  weights 
(including rotating), & have better ratios. That's an ADVANTAGE,  period, especially 
in the hands of a good driver.
I've said it many times, this is exactly what happened to SCCA  production 
(albeit for some different reasons)
& drove the costs to be competitive out of reach for the average  guy/gal. At 
a certain point, it's just a Triumph-facsimile.

ps-JackW & crew are doing a great job when you consider the broad range  of 
racers that he has to accommodate. Everyone has their own interpretation of  
"vintage racing" & different levels of prep & driving ability, &  their job is 
to keep everybody happy.
