Aron, your choice of cog belt is a wise decision. Back in the 60/70's we
used v belts, 2 or 3 at a time to run blowers. The challenge was finding
belts that were of identical dimensions. More trouble than you can imagine.
I didn't see a reference to vintage transmission either.

about the drive belt. I also think that if the blower is of a design that
was available then it should be acceptable, but after reading all the logs
after the '06 rules came out, I think everything is open to interpretation
and the interpretation that counts is the governing boards' and/or the tech
guys. For the gearbox I would go to the new rule clarification statement
for rule 7.J.10..."added for consistency to car rules and to maintain the
spirit of vintage racing.". I looked in the motorcycle rules and the car
rules and found not one statement regarding transmissions/ gearboxes. Maybe
someone else knows of a rule that covers this. My interpretation of it is
that it is wide open to run what gearbox you brung. I'm running vintage
production this year but am planning on modified or special construction
next year so I am very interested in how your project plays out. Let me
know what you're building. I'll send you pictures once I start assembling
mine. David
