First thing I'd do is go back and watch the video of your test and tune ---- and fix the side to side movement of the rear axle! OMG! I've never seen that much movement --- probably well over an inch side to side!

If you didn't have open wheel wells -- your tires and fender would be a mess.


AWESOME CAR BTW!!! And really fun reading your site!

Greg, not sure that's the case. I think it's an artifact of how the car rolls about the watts center pivot. In the previous blog post I included a video with the camera under the gas tank, showing the rear axle where the watts connects on the driver side. It is fairly well controlled laterally. Torque reaction, not so much... :-)

It looks like the front tire moving. It has to be effecting performance. Will they allow a panhard bar in your class?

Car has the Fays2 watts. It might be moving a little due to flex in the components, but I think it is mostly the unusual camera perspective.

After reading through the post on your web page regarding the pushrod failure. Why stamped steel rockers?

He's running the stamped steel rockers because that's what required by SCCA rules for the class that he's running in...

Yep, engine internals are all stock. Oil pan and pickup are the only things allowed to be changed, carb is stock too.
