Oh Indeed mikeinfo. A Lotus 26R (Elan), well driven could kick a Cobras ass, on a short course. A 26R is kinda like a 289FIA car compared to a 289 Street. I had the chance to drive a good friends 26R in a vintage race @ SIR (Seattle) and finished 3rd in the Big Bore Group, out of 38cars, but part of the race we had a wet track  SIR (Seattle) PIR ( Portland) and Westwood (Can.) are and were short courses, and well driven 26R can and do run with The Big Dogs. I had a chance to buy one, while racing my Alfa GTV, I could afford the car, I couldn't afford the "Twin-cam rebuilds" 4-5K for the Alfa, 10-12K for a twin-cam. Hope this help's clear this up, Cheers TommyRot. |
