as I finally invested in a gopro, ill post some videos up here.

twin state speedway in Claremont nh from a couple of months ago. very boring, because I started on the front row and won, but you get the idea.

I watched it all. It was amusing. What did you do to the VW that was squeezing you in the early laps,. did you put him in the wall? What gear are you in ? How many cars did you have in that race?

weak showing that race, maybe 15 cars.

that guy was giving me plenty of room! haha seriously, if you're on the outside and not touching the guy inside you, you're too far up....

using 3rd gear with a type 6 gearset in a later 5 speed for a 5.70 total ratio (at that track). car is all stock motor 2.1, LH with a turbo distributor to adjust timing and that's it. ive got it turning good and has enough power to take the built motor Honda's and vw's.

Hey, that looks like a great time! Seems like that 2.1 gets down the track pretty well!

Great video.....as much as we make fun of roundy round racing that really shows how loose the cars can be and gives a great perspective on speed and car proximity. Looks like fun.

it's really a great way to get into racing. comparably cost effective and there is events within an hour from me 3 days a week.

love my saabs but RWD cars are a lot of fun.

Fast forward 2 mins for RPMs above 2K ;)

What are the three events/week within an hour from you?
Monadnock, Twin State (though I though I heard they were closing or making some kind of change), ? Cannan is closed/under renovations.

Mongo, there's a place over by you but I drove by a few weeks ago on a Friday night and they had cancelled because it had sprinkled. (sounds silly to those of us who utilize loose surfaces)

twin state speedway was bought out, now called Claremont speedway and doing pretty well. they run Friday nights. mondnock runs on Saturday. Hudson speedway (Hudson/Londonderry nh) races sundays.

if I want to go just a little farther lee speedway also races Friday nights but they don't have a weekly 4cyl division.

forgot, star speedway in epping has racing on Friday nights also. nh is still pretty strong in asphalt circle tracks.

Devil's Bowl, that's the one that was closed after it sprinkled. Looks paved on Ghoulghoul Maps.

Pretty sure it is really hard packed dirt..but I have never stopped and looking at it to see ....Oh Mr Google....looks like there is a 1/2 mile oval with asphalt surface and a 3/10 mile progressively banked clay oval.

latest from lee speedway. fast 3/8ths mile. clearly outclassed in the mini stock class with a stock motor, but pretty happy with my first time out after caging this car.
