Wonder what car this will be?

 

Well, one year ago the 701 was the Orange SL UGR Shop car.

doesn't he have a power glide? Those are not allowed at TI?

 

Everything I have been told is that the glide is no problem. But I'm not sure what he is running for a tranny, if it's a glide with gear vendors, etc?

 

If other cars can run air shifted sequential it's pretty silly to outlaw a simple automatic.

 

I can already tell lots of people will not be happy if he shows up :icon_mrgreen:

I would love to see SAL come out, I have been telling him to get out there for years. I don't think there is a limit on what tranny can be used but not sure about that.

There is no transmission ban at TI. It's smarter/safer to allow drivers to get a driveline that will hold power as opposed to breaking and oiling down a lane. There has been TH400 and PG equipped cars at every event. We have only had one PG car get their gearing right (LMR a few years ago) while most others run out of steam before the finish line.

Ok gotcha. I thought Dana with supra was not allowed a few years ago to enter his supra.

 

Sal would be a handfull if he could hook. He runs 20mph quicker than OOmmegaaa in 1/4lol ouch.

It's been a long time since I have seen Dana's car (if its the VW Supra you are referring to) - so not sure what it looks like now. If he can meet tech, he can compete. He went to the event where Yoga Frank came in 2nd in the RWD class so he knows what its all about.

 

 

Are Lexan windows allowed? I don't have them, but I'm curious.

 

There was a Lexan ban a few years ago when we had to curb people from building stripped out ultra-light vehicles from the ground up. That's why you see rules on the tech form excluding cars with exposed interior metal and the requirement for an OEM dash. From a safety perspective, while Lexan may be stronger I think it poses an extrication challenge when the shit hits the fan.

Is he getting an X version on his new R8 GT?

 

i have no clue. i know he sold the R8 a few months ago because he found one that was already TT'd. and he's been rather quiet, here lately. i wouldnt be surprised if he 'surprised' us...
