Racing tips

I decided recently and too late to build the car I want to drive, and screw the rules. Just run exhibition classes or open classes. Wish I would have figured that out years ago, I would have had more fun. Some day I'll blow up the L6 and get a V8 too.

I have a 350 with about 500hp so it should be a riot!!

When you are getting tires you might want to get some flares and go with the widest possible tire, 275/45/16 on 16x10's or bigger, with that much power you will need to have as much grip as possible. It will be a blast too. At my last event there was a Lotus Elan in D mod that has a power to weight ratio of 5 LBS : 1 HP, you could see the car surge forward on every up shift, your car should have nearly the same power ratio. The car had me by 5 seconds. The best run I had was 57.1 and it had a 52.1 I think. Now that I think about it that is not to bad considering I have an under prepared F prepared Z with a 12.5:1 power ratio and an extra 1100LBS of mass to move around the track.

I should have it down to 2000lbs, and 500hp that makes 4lbs per hp! That is better than the ferrari's. I can't wait like you said It will be a blast!!! and I am using the jtr kit and I'm going to place it the recomended distance from the firewall and get it as low as possible! I am also moving the battery in back next to the fuel cell so that should help a bit more! keep in mind i'm a 20yr old college student, working fulltime and taking 17 credit hours, its going to take me awhile just to afford to get the body completly done though! (hints the signature, i'm not kidding when I say send me money!!!
