[Fot] TR250K short-shifting at the Glen?

[Kramer, Robert]

Watching the video brought up a couple of questions.

Are the 3 Catabwa Island TR6's all running the same equipment and is Sam that
good?

Did both the Group 44 TR6 and TR8 blow engines in the same weekend? I think
that was the TR6 that went in smoking and left an oil slick on pit entry.

I dont know, but I never heard a sweeter sounding six cylinder engine. Should
be bottled and sold.
