Morris wants to run 4.10's in his car with a 5 speed. I think he is crazy. BUT, if you saw how fast he drove, you'd think I was the one who was crazy. I am sure the BATF will regulate him pretty soon.
Good thing everyone has their own opinion as it would be pretty boring if we all liked vanilla. Everyone has their opinion and that is what makes the world go around!

A question for you. After running hot laps, you come in the pits to sit out a session. What do you do ? put the tranny in 1st or put on the E-brake? Put out wheel chalks?
Didn't the TKO's have problems with the tranny's sometimes locking up if left parked in gear? Did they fix that yet? And, if you put the E-brake on, you may warp the rear roters.
Obviously, someone like morris, unlike most of us, knows exactly what he is doing, and has good reason for it.
