Pictures of the Spitfire can be seen on the home page at
www.bigislandscca.org, See car #81. SCCA class me here as H
Production, but I can rarely get out of 2nd gear on this small, SOLO

shift more on this small track, but you can change gearing if your
application is a more of a race course. Thanks for looking. Robert
