One very hot weekend at Pacific Raceways<\/em> and we’re very proud of Torri. She made it to the 4th round of the Gamblers race on Saturday!<\/strong><\/p>\n

We qualified the ’57 #1 in Stick Shift with a .004 reaction time but broke the transmission when shutting down after our first pass. [Pictures of the damage and repairs below]. Chris & I worked hard to get the car ready for a hot track and the car responded with an excellent 1.440 60′ time. This season we’ve averaged 1.447 with a 1.435 being our best this past\u00a0March.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

In 2014 we only had three Stick-Shift entries. This year we had eleven which is a substantial increase! In 2015 I’d love to see at least 15<\/span>!\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Here’s some video highlights from our weekend. Much of the credit goes to Pam for all the video & photos she took throughout the event. Just sad there weren’t more spectators! – Roger<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

We rooted the 23TS input, and 32-tooth cluster gears on our 1993 pro-shifted Richmond 4+1<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

We’re in business!! Liberty<\/em><\/a> actually makes their own\u00a0cryogenic gears for the Richmond 4+1, so we have the stronger replacement gears and front bearing for the cluster shaft coming! Woot, Woot ! Liberty has always taken good care of our us throughout the years:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"New<\/a>

New gears (arrows) arrived from Liberty on July 23rd !<\/p><\/div>\n

UPDATE July 29, 2014<\/span>:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Chris got the transmission back in the car so it is ready to go again! We’re considering changing our 1st gear ratio when we install the 350 if those gears are available from Liberty. It currently has a 3.11 1st gear, would like something like 3.05 to narrow the 1-2 gear split a touch. – Roger<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
