Okay, so it's one thing to lose to a supercharged MINI, but it's another to lose to a MGB What's up with that?

Obviously you don't know what can be done with an MG and Triumph. My guess is that MG has a much better power to weight ratio that we ever could unless we had 350hp coming from the engine. Then you factor in the lack of a suspension and of course we'll have issues with it. This isn't a 79 MGB weezing out 54hp ya know.

Then you factor in the lack of any driving ability on our part, and there you go . I still can't believe a 79 MGB weezing out 54hp ate our lunch.

Ben,
Fixed your post...

Thanks Bill, one thing I forgot about this MG. It has been a race car and in the same family since the 60s). My dad thinks he remembers racing it with his TR6 he sold in 71. Its VERY WELL SORTED . At this point though, I don't think we'd have any issue beating it. That was before any suspension stuff had been done and we were still running a fwd tranny.

Ben,
I figured that was the case...it's probably a fun little car to drive, but no match for the "new and improved" Race Car

On a real track it would probably give a run for the money but technology has definately passed her by a bit. There's a guy who just started running again locally with a 60s Elan that is having the same problem.

ITs a haha turbo Bill with nice fat slicks on it. It actually looked more stable in the turns than a legacy gt wagon does.

Pics! Have they lowered it at all? I've got this mental image of a mutated CSP Miata/CRX

The driver was Keefe Lee from Maryland, I'm not sure if he runs in your neck of the woods, but he drived the 2005 Leg GT plastered with the Racecomp vinyl.

The Baja belongs to his GF, she lives up near me. The other month she told me that the Baja was going to get it's suspension "worked on"...

I'm not sure what all that involved, or if it was done yet????

Funny how PAX times show a different perspective

Congrats on FTD in your "WRX"

Not that different. There's a reason HS or STS usually takes pax, it's quite flawed. The prepared cars take a huge hit while the street mods don't even though our engines must remain "stock". It'll be a different story when we're running against cars that are just racers not street cars with the Bill Stock mentality out there chipping and then classing themselves in stock.
