Hi all,
Hearing some stories about roadsters on the track made me want to chime in
about my recent roadster endeavors. I did get a little track time a few
weekends ago when a friend of my brother's invited us out to Sandia Motor
Speedway, where he had rented the track to do some testing on his Triumph TR6
race car. Between the testing, we had the track to ourselves for a few hours
and I did at least a dozen laps on the full roadcourse. The roadster ran
well, with the stroker motor powering out of corners nicely, and once the
tires warmed up, it handled well too, with a nice balanced feel. My brother
brought his street modified TR6, so we were on the track at the same time
(though we kind of kept our distance from each other, since this was a "run at
your own risk" track time).
I've also written up a detailed account of my engine build experience, along
with some photos, if anyone's interested. You should be able to get to it at
