[Fot] Fwd: Bastuck Dog Box Available

Sat Feb 20 13:18:51 MST 2016

Got bumped for too many recipients. 

I hit just under 7K at the end of the RA straight with my 3.45 rear end drafting Sam Halkias (I think). Poor old Peyote almost shook to pieces. Scared the crap out of me.

With close ratios you can afford to be taller since it turns your effectively three speed box into four once 1st gear becomes useful for more than getting out of the pits. You just need to get used to using first in the tight stuff.

I haven't lost any speed out of the turns.  There are a couple of tracks where I legitimately use first gear (which is much taller than stock).  It's a joy to shift.
