Message-ID: <16a33b54ce71bc9e3bcce41b8a04d306@tr4racer.com> A club member bought a TR4 street car project from California and the camshaft in the pile of bits is stamped "Cal Cam 260". Not knowing any better, he installed it as a stock cam and is now a little disappointed by the lumpy idle. My first impression is assuming 260 implies the duration of the grind, 260 is really mild (like stock!) and should not be all that lumpy. Does anybody have an old catalogue from Cal Cam? Any specs would be helpful. A cam card for their 260 grind would be really helpful!

In particular, have you made engineering changes to increase the static caster? The most obvious option is to change to the trunnionless vertical links used on various clubman type race cars ., eg Caterham or Birkin. I have a set of Birkin alloy uprights , but i'll have to make suitable wishbones . I'm trying to recommission our Mk2 GT6 racer which we have not used for many years, and my memory was the "stock" front end was not good with "modern" slicks and particularly mid-corner indecision.

I remember they had both iron and aluminum and it was a little difficult confirming the correct aluminum unit part number. I know I have the part number recorded. I'll try getting that for you. Hopefully they are still available. If you do find them, be sure to have them turned for truing before using them and after the modifications to fit your Triumph.

Honestly I?m not sure, but most electronic ignitions require some kind of resistance in the plug wires, so I can?t see that they would hurt anything.

This happened (the plugs became unavailable) with the NGK 6 heat-range plugs last year. The only difference I noticed with the NGK BPR6ES and the BP6ES was no static on AM radio. The NGK BPR7ES should work fine on your race car. FWIW, I recently ordered 7's from Summit Racing and they "back ordered". This happened last year with the 6's, so I expect a notice from Summit to the effect that the BP7ES is NLA and they'll cancel the order. It's not Covid - it's manufacturers dumping product lines that have low volume. That and "consolidation". They look at storing products and long inventory turns and jettison the slow moving products.

What you run I?m sure depends to some extent on tires. I run Toyo R888Rs - radials. They like negative camber. Fronts - 2.6 degrees negative camber, 1/16? toe in, castor 6 degrees. Stock is 4, +/- 1. I have to admit I have never tried to adjust this up or down. With more castor, I think the camber gets a little more negative with turn-in, which is probably good as it counters body roll on the outside wheel. However, now you?ve got me thinking, and I may dial it back to stock to see if I notice the difference. Rears - 2.5 degrees negative camber, slight toe in to counter suspension flex. Hoosier bias plies (like the TD, which comes in 13? sizes) don?t like negative camber, so they are not interchangeable with these camber settings. You can also adjust the castor by playing with the amount of shims front and rear on the lower a-arm, which will move the trunnion end of the A-arm front and rear. Of course, that effects the camber, iterative process. I inherited my car with work done to reduce bump steer - mainly by bending the steering links down. Very little bump steer within the normal operating range. Be curious to hear what settings you end up with, or others use.

In particular, have you made engineering changes to increase the static caster? The most obvious option is to change to the trunnionless vertical links used on various clubman type race cars ., eg Caterham or Birkin. I have a set of Birkin alloy uprights , but i'll have to make suitable wishbones . I'm trying to recommission our Mk2 GT6 racer which we have not used for many years, and my memory was the "stock" front end was not good with "modern" slicks and particularly mid-corner indecision.

That?s how I initially dialed in Peyote and the results were good. These are dynamic systems with a lot of variables that interact. It?s not easy to optimize, but a good suspension simulation program can model everything that?s going on. The biggest problem then becomes modeling our ancient cars with their odd suspension components that no modern engineer would ever dream of using in a modern car. It can be done by approximation?even a TR3/4?s bonkers trunnion system can be approximated, it takes some work and will never be completely accurate?but it?s a lot closer than cut and try will get you.

For those that are planning to attend, please be sure to print out this schedule as it includes our social events as well as the racing times and supplemental information. Load in starts Wednesday at about 5:00 p.m. The Triumphs will be placed in the paddock together, so make sure you let them know at entry that you're with the Kastner Cup. The test day is Thursday, 8 to 1 p.m. Look for the SVRA virtual drivers meeting on Facebook, otherwise you'll need to attend the mandatory drivers meeting in person. The Kastner Cup race group will run two qualification sessions that set the grid for the Saturday race. On Sunday we have a Fan Walk planned at lunch, with the Reunion race at 1:45. Social events include a Celebration of Life for Kas on Thursday late afternoon, British Sportscar Hall Of Fame reception on Friday, and of course the Kastner Cup awards at 4:30 on Saturday after the race. Please check in at the Kastner Cup tent on Thursday afternoon to receive your commentative items. and pay your $50 Kastner Cup Committee registration fee. We cut the FOT fee in half this year because of sponsorship, plus we've added special items. A really cool Kastner Cup Nomex drivers suit patch will be provided that's FIA approved. We also have a dash plaque, tee shirt, and poster. A limited number of tee shirts, posters, and dash plaques will be available for purchase (cash or check please as we don't have a credit card machine). Joe Alexander is our Grand Marshall of course. I'd also like to thank the other members of the Race Committee including John Linney, Steve Balfer, Shawn Frank, Cregg Cowan and Sean Alexander.

I'm pretty sure we finished more than we DNF'd, but I have selective memory issues and haven't been on every race team. We've had a few big failures overall, but mechanically the car is up to it. We did have a ring and pinion fail at COTA. That could happen on the highway. That was years after we smoked a diff early on in the summer heat at TWS before we realized that GL4 is great for 20 minute vintage races but not for 8 hours straight. The heat melted the poly diff mounts! Aggressive dives are to be avoided as more modern cars have us both on the acceleration and the braking. The front end of a fiberglassed fendered TR6 is no match for the right rear 1/4 of a BMW M3. More recently a 50 year old rocker called it quits. I'm sure there are other fails I have blocked out. Most of our problems can be traced back to our Lemon's roots and our build it out of the scrap bin mentality. The wheels are hand me down American Racing slots and we have more than once forgotten the fact that we needed wheel spacers or the shouldered nuts would bottom out. We had to clean out the repurposed fuel cell to remove disintegrating foam at the first race. Street gas is different than race fuel. Over a decade later we have a decent engine (about to become more responsive to throttle input), a close ratio J-type, CV joint rear axles, fiberglass fenders and doors, and a very trick removable front 1/2 clip from the BMW wars. We also found a couple of TR6 manuals that list the TR6 as having a 13.5 gallon fuel tank. I have never been able to put much more than 11 in a stock tank, but whatever, the rules allow us 2 gallon over stock specs and since we are counting the 71" TR6 inner fender expansion tank as another 1/2 gallon we are putting in a 16 gallon fuel cell. We figure we are good for 2 hour stints. At least the car is. Bob Kramer On Sun, Jul 25, 2021 at 7:53 PM Brian Dolan via Fot wrote: > This is a fascinating concept.

Peyote was running fine and I had plenty of gas, though I was nursing a rising water temperature. It wasn?t the car, that crazy little car could have done ten more laps, no problem. There were three reasons, all good ones. First?I blew the chicane on the start and improved my position. True, I mostly had to to keep from potentially turning into Curt and he blew it too, but I blew it first, I blew it worst, and Curt didn?t improve his position. I should have conceded the position and then worked to get by him. But in the heat of the first few laps I didn?t. Once I settled into race rhythm I thought about it and decided to concede a position down the straight where everyone could see the pass and then battle for the finish and give the families and friends something to get excited about. But while I was ruminating about how to do it the last lap sign came out. Curt was a long way back. I backed off for the entire lap but he probably did too, so just lifting after turn nine and letting him by was the only way to make good. It was a legitimate win for Curt. Second?it was the first race for Curt in that lovely TR7, and he gave me a great race for the entire race. I could keep him behind me, but I had to work my ass off. He deserved the win and winning is a great way to start his relationship with a great car. Third?It?s my last race in Peyote. I?ll be selling it on to a racer who can and will drive it like it deserves to be driven. Peyote has been raced more or less continuously for about 62 years, my stewardship is about a third of that, 22 years. It?s given me so much fun, and has always punched way above its weight. It's won so many podiums over the years in the hands of a lot of fine drivers. There was just no way I was going to finish my last race knowing that I should have done something different.

Peyote was running fine and I had plenty of gas, though I was nursing a rising water temperature. It wasn?t the car, that crazy little car could have done ten more laps, no problem. There were three reasons, all good ones. First?I blew the chicane on the start and improved my position. True, I mostly had to to keep from potentially turning into Curt and he blew it too, but I blew it first, I blew it worst, and Curt didn?t improve his position. I should have conceded the position and then worked to get by him. But in the heat of the first few laps I didn?t. Once I settled into race rhythm I thought about it and decided to concede a position down the straight where everyone could see the pass and then battle for the finish and give the families and friends something to get excited about. But while I was ruminating about how to do it the last lap sign came out. Curt was a long way back. I backed off for the entire lap but he probably did too, so just lifting after turn nine and letting him by was the only way to make good. It was a legitimate win for Curt. Second?it was the first race for Curt in that lovely TR7, and he gave me a great race for the entire race. I could keep him behind me, but I had to work my ass off. He deserved the win and winning is a great way to start his relationship with a great car. Third?It?s my last race in Peyote. I?ll be selling it on to a racer who can and will drive it like it deserves to be driven. Peyote has been raced more or less continuously for about 62 years, my stewardship is about a third of that, 22 years. It?s given me so much fun, and has always punched way above its weight. It's won so many podiums over the years in the hands of a lot of fine drivers. There was just no way I was going to finish my last race knowing that I should have done something different. The car deserves better.

It was a totally unexpected thrill that I'll never forget. Thank you Bill! As everyone may be aware I had problems with the TR8 all weekend. I only got about 14 hot laps on a new track for me. So I stepped into the TR7 without the proper preparation for the race. I knew I had to go deep into the corner to maintain the lead, but Oh Sh......I totally cooked it into the corner. I left you with no other choice than run off track. It was my fault, so I didn't feel you needed to give back the spot. I agree with the comment below; well done Bill. I owe someone a favor in return! Curt Johnston > On 07/27/2021 9:02 AM Alfetta95 via Fot wrote: > > > And THATS why this is called the gentlemen?s sport.

Peyote was running fine and I had plenty of gas, though I was nursing a rising water temperature. It wasn?t the car, that crazy little car could have done ten more laps, no problem. There were three reasons, all good ones. > > > > First?I blew the chicane on the start and improved my position. True, I mostly had to to keep from potentially turning into Curt and he blew it too, but I blew it first, I blew it worst, and Curt didn?t improve his position. I should have conceded the position and then worked to get by him. But in the heat of the first few laps I didn?t. Once I settled into race rhythm I thought about it and decided to concede a position down the straight where everyone could see the pass and then battle for the finish and give the families and friends something to get excited about. But while I was ruminating about how to do it the last lap sign came out. Curt was a long way back. I backed off for the entire lap but he probably did too, so just lifting after turn nine and letting him by was the only way to make good. It was a legitimate win for Curt. > > > > Second?it was the first race for Curt in that lovely TR7, and he gave me a great race for the entire race.

The most obvious option is to change to the trunnionless vertical links used on various clubman type race cars ., eg Caterham or Birkin. I have a set of Birkin alloy uprights , but i'll have to make suitable wishbones . I'm trying to recommission our Mk2 GT6 racer which we have not used for many years, and my memory was the "stock" front end was not good with "modern" slicks and particularly mid-corner indecision.

This happened (the plugs became unavailable) with the NGK 6 heat-range plugs last year. The only difference I noticed with the NGK BPR6ES and the BP6ES was no static on AM radio. The NGK BPR7ES should work fine on your race car. FWIW, I recently ordered 7's from Summit Racing and they "back ordered". This happened last year with the 6's, so I expect a notice from Summit to the effect that the BP7ES is NLA and they'll cancel the order. It's not Covid - it's manufacturers dumping product lines that have low volume. That and "consolidation". They look at storing products and long inventory turns and jettison the slow moving products.

URL: From sjanzen at me.com Mon Jul 12 05:40:46 2021 From: sjanzen at me.com (Scott Janzen) Date: Mon, 12 Jul 2021 07:40:46 -0400 Subject: [Fot] race alignment GT6 In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <69B7CD8A-3A76-4A36-AF1B-D4F0118D32C9@me.com> I can tell you what my GT6 has. What you run I?m sure depends to some extent on tires. I run Toyo R888Rs - radials. They like negative camber. Fronts - 2.6 degrees negative camber, 1/16? toe in, castor 6 degrees. Stock is 4, +/- 1. I have to admit I have never tried to adjust this up or down. With more castor, I think the camber gets a little more negative with turn-in, which is probably good as it counters body roll on the outside wheel. However, now you?ve got me thinking, and I may dial it back to stock to see if I notice the difference. Rears - 2.5 degrees negative camber, slight toe in to counter suspension flex. Hoosier bias plies (like the TD, which comes in 13? sizes) don?t like negative camber, so they are not interchangeable with these camber settings. You can also adjust the castor by playing with the amount of shims front and rear on the lower a-arm, which will move the trunnion end of the A-arm front and rear. Of course, that effects the camber, iterative process. I inherited my car with work done to reduce bump steer - mainly by bending the steering links down. Very little bump steer within the normal operating range. Be curious to hear what settings you end up with, or others use. Scott Janzen, ?68 GT6, but with inner and outer u-joints at the rear and spicer sliding halfshafts.

For those that are planning to attend, please be sure to print out this schedule as it includes our social events as well as the racing times and supplemental information. Load in starts Wednesday at about 5:00 p.m. The Triumphs will be placed in the paddock together, so make sure you let them know at entry that you're with the Kastner Cup. The test day is Thursday, 8 to 1 p.m. Look for the SVRA virtual drivers meeting on Facebook, otherwise you'll need to attend the mandatory drivers meeting in person. The Kastner Cup race group will run two qualification sessions that set the grid for the Saturday race. On Sunday we have a Fan Walk planned at lunch, with the Reunion race at 1:45. Social events include a Celebration of Life for Kas on Thursday late afternoon, British Sportscar Hall Of Fame reception on Friday, and of course the Kastner Cup awards at 4:30 on Saturday after the race. Please check in at the Kastner Cup tent on Thursday afternoon to receive your commentative items. and pay your $50 Kastner Cup Committee registration fee. We cut the FOT fee in half this year because of sponsorship, plus we've added special items. A really cool Kastner Cup Nomex drivers suit patch will be provided that's FIA approved. We also have a dash plaque, tee shirt, and poster. A limited number of tee shirts, posters, and dash plaques will be available for purchase (cash or check please as we don't have a credit card machine). Joe Alexander is our Grand Marshall of course. I'd also like to thank the other members of the Race Committee including John Linney, Steve Balfer, Shawn Frank, Cregg Cowan and Sean Alexander.

I'm pretty sure we finished more than we DNF'd, but I have selective memory issues and haven't been on every race team. We've had a few big failures overall, but mechanically the car is up to it. We did have a ring and pinion fail at COTA. That could happen on the highway. That was years after we smoked a diff early on in the summer heat at TWS before we realized that GL4 is great for 20 minute vintage races but not for 8 hours straight. The heat melted the poly diff mounts! Aggressive dives are to be avoided as more modern cars have us both on the acceleration and the braking. The front end of a fiberglassed fendered TR6 is no match for the right rear 1/4 of a BMW M3. More recently a 50 year old rocker called it quits. I'm sure there are other fails I have blocked out. Most of our problems can be traced back to our Lemon's roots and our build it out of the scrap bin mentality. The wheels are hand me down American Racing slots and we have more than once forgotten the fact that we needed wheel spacers or the shouldered nuts would bottom out. We had to clean out the repurposed fuel cell to remove disintegrating foam at the first race. Street gas is different than race fuel. Over a decade later we have a decent engine (about to become more responsive to throttle input), a close ratio J-type, CV joint rear axles, fiberglass fenders and doors, and a very trick removable front 1/2 clip from the BMW wars. We also found a couple of TR6 manuals that list the TR6 as having a 13.5 gallon fuel tank. I have never been able to put much more than 11 in a stock tank, but whatever, the rules allow us 2 gallon over stock specs and since we are counting the 71" TR6 inner fender expansion tank as another 1/2 gallon we are putting in a 16 gallon fuel cell. We figure we are good for 2 hour stints. At least the car is. Bob Kramer On Sun, Jul 25, 2021 at 7:53 PM Brian Dolan via Fot wrote: > This is a fascinating concept.

Peyote was running fine and I had plenty of gas, though I was nursing a rising water temperature. It wasn?t the car, that crazy little car could have done ten more laps, no problem. There were three reasons, all good ones. First?I blew the chicane on the start and improved my position. True, I mostly had to to keep from potentially turning into Curt and he blew it too, but I blew it first, I blew it worst, and Curt didn?t improve his position. I should have conceded the position and then worked to get by him. But in the heat of the first few laps I didn?t. Once I settled into race rhythm I thought about it and decided to concede a position down the straight where everyone could see the pass and then battle for the finish and give the families and friends something to get excited about. But while I was ruminating about how to do it the last lap sign came out. Curt was a long way back. I backed off for the entire lap but he probably did too, so just lifting after turn nine and letting him by was the only way to make good. It was a legitimate win for Curt. Second?it was the first race for Curt in that lovely TR7, and he gave me a great race for the entire race. I could keep him behind me, but I had to work my ass off. He deserved the win and winning is a great way to start his relationship with a great car. Third?It?s my last race in Peyote. I?ll be selling it on to a racer who can and will drive it like it deserves to be driven. Peyote has been raced more or less continuously for about 62 years, my stewardship is about a third of that, 22 years. It?s given me so much fun, and has always punched way above its weight. It's won so many podiums over the years in the hands of a lot of fine drivers. There was just no way I was going to finish my last race knowing that I should have done something different.

Peyote was running fine and I had plenty of gas, though I was nursing a rising water temperature. It wasn?t the car, that crazy little car could have done ten more laps, no problem. There were three reasons, all good ones. First?I blew the chicane on the start and improved my position. True, I mostly had to to keep from potentially turning into Curt and he blew it too, but I blew it first, I blew it worst, and Curt didn?t improve his position. I should have conceded the position and then worked to get by him. But in the heat of the first few laps I didn?t. Once I settled into race rhythm I thought about it and decided to concede a position down the straight where everyone could see the pass and then battle for the finish and give the families and friends something to get excited about. But while I was ruminating about how to do it the last lap sign came out. Curt was a long way back. I backed off for the entire lap but he probably did too, so just lifting after turn nine and letting him by was the only way to make good. It was a legitimate win for Curt. Second?it was the first race for Curt in that lovely TR7, and he gave me a great race for the entire race. I could keep him behind me, but I had to work my ass off. He deserved the win and winning is a great way to start his relationship with a great car. Third?It?s my last race in Peyote. I?ll be selling it on to a racer who can and will drive it like it deserves to be driven. Peyote has been raced more or less continuously for about 62 years, my stewardship is about a third of that, 22 years. It?s given me so much fun, and has always punched way above its weight. It's won so many podiums over the years in the hands of a lot of fine drivers. There was just no way I was going to finish my last race knowing that I should have done something different.

It was a totally unexpected thrill that I'll never forget. Thank you Bill! As everyone may be aware I had problems with the TR8 all weekend. I only got about 14 hot laps on a new track for me. So I stepped into the TR7 without the proper preparation for the race. I knew I had to go deep into the corner to maintain the lead, but Oh Sh......I totally cooked it into the corner. I left you with no other choice than run off track. It was my fault, so I didn't feel you needed to give back the spot. I agree with the comment below; well done Bill. I owe someone a favor in return! Curt Johnston > On 07/27/2021 9:02 AM Alfetta95 via Fot wrote: > > > And THATS why this is called the gentlemen?s sport.

My first impression is assuming 260 implies the duration of the grind, 260 is really mild (like stock!) and should not be all that lumpy. Does anybody have an old catalogue from Cal Cam? Any specs would be helpful. A cam card for their 260 grind would be really helpful!

In particular, have you made engineering changes to increase the static caster? The most obvious option is to change to the trunnionless vertical links used on various clubman type race cars ., eg Caterham or Birkin. I have a set of Birkin alloy uprights , but i'll have to make suitable wishbones . I'm trying to recommission our Mk2 GT6 racer which we have not used for many years, and my memory was the "stock" front end was not good with "modern" slicks and particularly mid-corner indecision.

I remember they had both iron and aluminum and it was a little difficult confirming the correct aluminum unit part number. I know I have the part number recorded. I'll try getting that for you. Hopefully they are still available. If you do find them, be sure to have them turned for truing before using them and after the modifications to fit your Triumph.

I?ve been putting them in street cars for a while now with no apparent issues on my customer?s cars. Will they affect any changes on a race application? Honestly I?m not sure, but most electronic ignitions require some kind of resistance in the plug wires, so I can?t see that they would hurt anything.

This happened (the plugs became unavailable) with the NGK 6 heat-range plugs last year. The only difference I noticed with the NGK BPR6ES and the BP6ES was no static on AM radio. The NGK BPR7ES should work fine on your race car. FWIW, I recently ordered 7's from Summit Racing and they "back ordered". This happened last year with the 6's, so I expect a notice from Summit to the effect that the BP7ES is NLA and they'll cancel the order. It's not Covid - it's manufacturers dumping product lines that have low volume. That and "consolidation". They look at storing products and long inventory turns and jettison the slow moving products.

What you run I?m sure depends to some extent on tires. I run Toyo R888Rs - radials. They like negative camber. Fronts - 2.6 degrees negative camber, 1/16? toe in, castor 6 degrees. Stock is 4, +/- 1. I have to admit I have never tried to adjust this up or down. With more castor, I think the camber gets a little more negative with turn-in, which is probably good as it counters body roll on the outside wheel. However, now you?ve got me thinking, and I may dial it back to stock to see if I notice the difference. Rears - 2.5 degrees negative camber, slight toe in to counter suspension flex. Hoosier bias plies (like the TD, which comes in 13? sizes) don?t like negative camber, so they are not interchangeable with these camber settings. You can also adjust the castor by playing with the amount of shims front and rear on the lower a-arm, which will move the trunnion end of the A-arm front and rear. Of course, that effects the camber, iterative process. I inherited my car with work done to reduce bump steer - mainly by bending the steering links down. Very little bump steer within the normal operating range. Be curious to hear what settings you end up with, or others use.

In particular, have you made engineering changes to increase the static caster? The most obvious option is to change to the trunnionless vertical links used on various clubman type race cars ., eg Caterham or Birkin. I have a set of Birkin alloy uprights , but i'll have to make suitable wishbones . I'm trying to recommission our Mk2 GT6 racer which we have not used for many years, and my memory was the "stock" front end was not good with "modern" slicks and particularly mid-corner indecision.

That?s how I initially dialed in Peyote and the results were good. These are dynamic systems with a lot of variables that interact. It?s not easy to optimize, but a good suspension simulation program can model everything that?s going on. The biggest problem then becomes modeling our ancient cars with their odd suspension components that no modern engineer would ever dream of using in a modern car. It can be done by approximation?even a TR3/4?s bonkers trunnion system can be approximated, it takes some work and will never be completely accurate?but it?s a lot closer than cut and try will get you.

For those that are planning to attend, please be sure to print out this schedule as it includes our social events as well as the racing times and supplemental information. Load in starts Wednesday at about 5:00 p.m. The Triumphs will be placed in the paddock together, so make sure you let them know at entry that you're with the Kastner Cup. The test day is Thursday, 8 to 1 p.m. Look for the SVRA virtual drivers meeting on Facebook, otherwise you'll need to attend the mandatory drivers meeting in person. The Kastner Cup race group will run two qualification sessions that set the grid for the Saturday race. On Sunday we have a Fan Walk planned at lunch, with the Reunion race at 1:45. Social events include a Celebration of Life for Kas on Thursday late afternoon, British Sportscar Hall Of Fame reception on Friday, and of course the Kastner Cup awards at 4:30 on Saturday after the race. Please check in at the Kastner Cup tent on Thursday afternoon to receive your commentative items. and pay your $50 Kastner Cup Committee registration fee. We cut the FOT fee in half this year because of sponsorship, plus we've added special items. A really cool Kastner Cup Nomex drivers suit patch will be provided that's FIA approved. We also have a dash plaque, tee shirt, and poster. A limited number of tee shirts, posters, and dash plaques will be available for purchase (cash or check please as we don't have a credit card machine). Joe Alexander is our Grand Marshall of course. I'd also like to thank the other members of the Race Committee including John Linney, Steve Balfer, Shawn Frank, Cregg Cowan and Sean Alexander.

I'm pretty sure we finished more than we DNF'd, but I have selective memory issues and haven't been on every race team. We've had a few big failures overall, but mechanically the car is up to it. We did have a ring and pinion fail at COTA. That could happen on the highway. That was years after we smoked a diff early on in the summer heat at TWS before we realized that GL4 is great for 20 minute vintage races but not for 8 hours straight. The heat melted the poly diff mounts! Aggressive dives are to be avoided as more modern cars have us both on the acceleration and the braking. The front end of a fiberglassed fendered TR6 is no match for the right rear 1/4 of a BMW M3. More recently a 50 year old rocker called it quits. I'm sure there are other fails I have blocked out. Most of our problems can be traced back to our Lemon's roots and our build it out of the scrap bin mentality. The wheels are hand me down American Racing slots and we have more than once forgotten the fact that we needed wheel spacers or the shouldered nuts would bottom out. We had to clean out the repurposed fuel cell to remove disintegrating foam at the first race. Street gas is different than race fuel. Over a decade later we have a decent engine (about to become more responsive to throttle input), a close ratio J-type, CV joint rear axles, fiberglass fenders and doors, and a very trick removable front 1/2 clip from the BMW wars. We also found a couple of TR6 manuals that list the TR6 as having a 13.5 gallon fuel tank. I have never been able to put much more than 11 in a stock tank, but whatever, the rules allow us 2 gallon over stock specs and since we are counting the 71" TR6 inner fender expansion tank as another 1/2 gallon we are putting in a 16 gallon fuel cell. We figure we are good for 2 hour stints. At least the car is. Bob Kramer On Sun, Jul 25, 2021 at 7:53 PM Brian Dolan via Fot wrote: > This is a fascinating concept.

Peyote was running fine and I had plenty of gas, though I was nursing a rising water temperature. It wasn?t the car, that crazy little car could have done ten more laps, no problem. There were three reasons, all good ones. First?I blew the chicane on the start and improved my position. True, I mostly had to to keep from potentially turning into Curt and he blew it too, but I blew it first, I blew it worst, and Curt didn?t improve his position. I should have conceded the position and then worked to get by him. But in the heat of the first few laps I didn?t. Once I settled into race rhythm I thought about it and decided to concede a position down the straight where everyone could see the pass and then battle for the finish and give the families and friends something to get excited about. But while I was ruminating about how to do it the last lap sign came out. Curt was a long way back. I backed off for the entire lap but he probably did too, so just lifting after turn nine and letting him by was the only way to make good. It was a legitimate win for Curt. Second?it was the first race for Curt in that lovely TR7, and he gave me a great race for the entire race. I could keep him behind me, but I had to work my ass off. He deserved the win and winning is a great way to start his relationship with a great car. Third?It?s my last race in Peyote. I?ll be selling it on to a racer who can and will drive it like it deserves to be driven. Peyote has been raced more or less continuously for about 62 years, my stewardship is about a third of that, 22 years. It?s given me so much fun, and has always punched way above its weight. It's won so many podiums over the years in the hands of a lot of fine drivers. There was just no way I was going to finish my last race knowing that I should have done something different.

Peyote was running fine and I had plenty of gas, though I was nursing a rising water temperature. It wasn?t the car, that crazy little car could have done ten more laps, no problem. There were three reasons, all good ones. First?I blew the chicane on the start and improved my position. True, I mostly had to to keep from potentially turning into Curt and he blew it too, but I blew it first, I blew it worst, and Curt didn?t improve his position. I should have conceded the position and then worked to get by him. But in the heat of the first few laps I didn?t. Once I settled into race rhythm I thought about it and decided to concede a position down the straight where everyone could see the pass and then battle for the finish and give the families and friends something to get excited about. But while I was ruminating about how to do it the last lap sign came out. Curt was a long way back. I backed off for the entire lap but he probably did too, so just lifting after turn nine and letting him by was the only way to make good. It was a legitimate win for Curt. Second?it was the first race for Curt in that lovely TR7, and he gave me a great race for the entire race. I could keep him behind me, but I had to work my ass off. He deserved the win and winning is a great way to start his relationship with a great car. Third?It?s my last race in Peyote. I?ll be selling it on to a racer who can and will drive it like it deserves to be driven. Peyote has been raced more or less continuously for about 62 years, my stewardship is about a third of that, 22 years. It?s given me so much fun, and has always punched way above its weight. It's won so many podiums over the years in the hands of a lot of fine drivers. There was just no way I was going to finish my last race knowing that I should have done something different. The car deserves better.

It was a totally unexpected thrill that I'll never forget. Thank you Bill! As everyone may be aware I had problems with the TR8 all weekend. I only got about 14 hot laps on a new track for me. So I stepped into the TR7 without the proper preparation for the race. I knew I had to go deep into the corner to maintain the lead, but Oh Sh......I totally cooked it into the corner. I left you with no other choice than run off track. It was my fault, so I didn't feel you needed to give back the spot. I agree with the comment below; well done Bill. I owe someone a favor in return! Curt Johnston > On 07/27/2021 9:02 AM Alfetta95 via Fot wrote: > > > And THATS why this is called the gentlemen?s sport.

Peyote was running fine and I had plenty of gas, though I was nursing a rising water temperature. It wasn?t the car, that crazy little car could have done ten more laps, no problem. There were three reasons, all good ones. > > > > First?I blew the chicane on the start and improved my position. True, I mostly had to to keep from potentially turning into Curt and he blew it too, but I blew it first, I blew it worst, and Curt didn?t improve his position. I should have conceded the position and then worked to get by him. But in the heat of the first few laps I didn?t. Once I settled into race rhythm I thought about it and decided to concede a position down the straight where everyone could see the pass and then battle for the finish and give the families and friends something to get excited about. But while I was ruminating about how to do it the last lap sign came out. Curt was a long way back. I backed off for the entire lap but he probably did too, so just lifting after turn nine and letting him by was the only way to make good. It was a legitimate win for Curt. > > > > Second?it was the first race for Curt in that lovely TR7, and he gave me a great race for the entire race.
