Paul,  Any suggestions on what I should do differently to run my
   7 in a
      3 hours enduro, and if I survive and the car survives that, a 6 hours
      enduro later in the yr, that I don't do for regular SCCA 45 min
      race?     Thanks,  Dave D

      Endurance racing is all about testing, preparation and
      logistics. Can you find a track where you can run it
      flat out for three hours?

      Plumbing and electrical must be top quality.
      I would install electric fan cooled heat exchangers on
      the dif and tranny. Does it have a dry sump system? It needs one.
      Also you are going to need at least one complete set
      of all spare suspension and body parts. We lost a 24 hour in Daytona
      while leading the race by 19 laps because we did not have
      a spare rear A arm. Phil Hill driving.

      BTW It took GM years to get the V8 to last 24 hours
      on a Lemans lap programmed dyno. They ran the engine until it
      failed and then redesigned it, built a new one and started over.
      They wound up by compromising the HP and the redline.

      Might I ask what sanctioning group and level of preparation?

   SCCA Improved Touring S class for good basic fun.  Very few mods allowed
   as a starting class.  A number of races are available, including
   enduros.  I might be the weakest link, but have wanted to drive in an
   enduro.  Kinda like rain, the great HP equalizer.  Gotta use your head.
   Building, although slowly an E Production 2nd gen, and wondering if I
   should change to a basic GT to start with, for better support, altho
   more $, and rules(UGH).   Dave D



Paul,  Racing rules UGH!  I'll make some copies and mail 'em, but not
sure you want to read so much ' only do's ' .
Basically SCCA wants the car to remain very nearly stock for ITS and
very nearly stock appearance for E Prod and GT.
Door windows opening would seem to be one of the biggest drags.  Front
can use an air dam or splitter as long as it doesn't protrude beyond
forwardmost part of the original bumper cover dim, or side at forward of
front wheel opening.  Opening for grill must remain same dim.  Brake
cooling ducts 5 X 7 inches, or 3 inch dia round.    Thanks,  Dave D.
ps. Never have gone to Bonneville but it's on the list.


What I am going to say is secret tweeks so I will send by private email :)
