When I scaled my car, mostly because I am weight nut. It was 1740 with 328 on front/Front left was 6 lbs heavier than right.Might be the front canard that has weight in it.LOL Yea canards are not needed,but they look cool. I am hoping having the engine 50" out helps with front end lifting out of lights. I do Have a slip joint about 2' behind axle that if loosened should help here also, will see if needed. So far I do not seem to have issue here,probaly will now that I said that. LOL
Cooling system for engi ne just going to have to work with what I have and that is forced air in pits. Air forced thru engine on left VC and out right VC ,while also pushing air around TQ converter thru secondary pipe. Running full belly pan instead of diaper to help. Hard to pump anything thru a solid block. I do have systedm that richens motor some and with alky that will keep temp down. Plus have 4 wheeler that is setup with pushbar for to and from trips if need,then that means a helper would be mandatory. I am adding a run around cooler to trans. I do have a pump assisted oil draining system for quick oil change. Have drained and filled in less than 4 minutes in testing.
Getting in and out of car? I have not come up with easy way for old guy with bad riught hip and numb feet to do that one. One of those WTH was i thinking things. Looking at pull handle deal for the out part, Buckling up? The pull up belts with hoop and a hook helps,still easier if someone to do the pulling. Removable wheel did help the in mode. Ten years ago body would be the biggest help.LMAO there.
Loading and un loading? I built a set of ramps that sit behing front wheels in trailer.They ride up,straight for 6' and then slowly back to floor.Only 6 inches higher but they help quite a bit. Steering lockout keeps wheels straight and that helped some.
Crew member thing. Most know getting one who will be there every race difficult to say least. Dad tries ,but at 77 his health slows him and after the accident few years ago(fell 16' out of tree and craked 6 ribs in 10 plqces) his mind is just noit what it was. Lil Brother has his own deal and we both have the TA/D deal to work on and that takes few weekends out of picture. Young guys interested enough to be there week after week almost non existent..
far from solving all issues and sure some I have not encountered or thought of. Reason for thread is looking for things I have not thought have and maybe get head start of working around.
