Are you in the northeast I'm going early Friday morning for some lap time at MMC. Easy to fly in and out of. Actually Monticello Motor Club's property use to be an airport.

I love this guy...t-shirt no gloves....

At my advanced age the last place I would want to take that thing is a road course it has a 2.7 weight to power ratio, 90" wheel base and no aerodynamics other than lift.
I cannot imagine getting into third gear let alone fourth because it can actually spin out on the throttle in any gear. Incidentally, I am in Northern California.

I probably would have said yes 20 or 30 years ago but the sand is running out of the hour glass now, so I want as much time as I can get.

Car runs great Bruce. I remember a couple years ago you had a thread with a lot of changes you made and you went with EFI throttle body and was wondering what you ended up putting on it as I love the response in and out of the tight turns?

Thanks Gary, it is a 1650 CFM Wilson throttle body with Fast EFI running in Alpha N mode. Injectors are 65 lb per hour, the response is something else when you consider that is a 3:31 rear end with a 2.1 low gear ratio so it is down around 2500 sometimes and still snaps to when asked.

Yeah I can fully appreciate that. I was blessed with twins at age 42 so I don't partake in some of the activities I use to. I will still do laps when no others are present on the road or track.
