Skip--Mark
I currently run in stock class, solo2 SCCA so I Probably can
only offer sympathy. But if you need setup help for racing, I'll
try to help or find answers for you.
BTW, whats with the Skip name and TVRs? Skip Gurnee out here in
S.D. has a Vixen he bought new and has progressed? (more breakage)
to a Cosworth eng. w/200+ hp.
