Oddo's numbers were used. .018 and .014 if I remember right

In FAIRNESS to Charley.....

He lives a much more interesting life than some of the rest of us do... Kinda like the Dos Exquis beer guy... So while we sat and discussed the poor little Mustang HE was off at the Monterey Historics doing actual REAL fun car stuff.

The high cost of racin'..... I'm now into motor rebuilds - more than I paid for the car. Let's hope I get more than one or two events out of it this time around... Three would set a new record.

LOL


My instructions to the builder (Tony Borello).... "I don't care what it costs as long as I can pull away from Gaetano".... His response... "that's childs play".



EEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAA

I'm thinking you should buy a Spec Miata and go thrash on that. Heck if you get them to last a couple races you would be way ahead on the game.

No need for a Miata --- I have a Lotus 2 Eleven... it just runs and runs and runs and doesn't use any gas - is easy on tires and brakes...

Maybe I'll use the Lotus as #1 car and the Mustang will just sit and wait it's turn as a back up car!?!?!?! LOL

LOL --- funny!

This motor is being completely rebuilt... new rods - new pistons - cam - rockers - valves... bored and balanced of course.... All new from the ground up. I'm so over the other build. When it ran it ran real well -- but lasting more than 3 or 4 hours would be a novel idea.

A more street friendly build? Perhaps a USCA event could be in its future?
