I can't tell you how much I've enjoyed watching your TR-3 videos. I campaigned a yellow TR-3 B in the SCCA from Mid 60's to mid 70's. I keep wanting you to engage overdrive as my car had. Are OD trans not available or wasn't it an option on a TR-3A? Are the cars basically stock or can you, as it was called "Prodify" them? The rules when I raced allowed any cylinder mod, [12.5 to 1] headers & cam as long as it was like the factory type. My car had 170 HP, & was clocked at 130 at Virginia International Raceway.
Hello, excuse this delayed reply. I didn't receive a message notification. I'm glad you are enjoying the videos. I would enjoy hearing more about your racing a TR3. I decided not to use an over-drive trans when I built the car in order to keep things simple and knowing the tracks I would run in the beginning it would not really be needed. The 4.1 r&p is working great. The car is built strictly to the 1967 SCCA General Competition Rules, but I kept the engine to a mild tune for reliability. 10.5 to 1 compression and 3/4 race cam. Approximate 125 HP at the crank. Having 170 would be great. Thanks for the views.
I race with that '57 Corvette all the time in SOVERN here in the PNW. His brakes always go when push hard. Nice race.
