"But all the same, I do think since a majority of TR
drivers are running the Triumph box successfully, those that invest in
the alternate boxes are copping out."
If one does his homework & has the ability & budget to allow, there are a
few gearbox options that are better shifting, reliable, better weights
(including rotating), & have better ratios. That's an ADVANTAGE, period,
especially
in the hands of a good driver.
I've said it many times, this is exactly what happened to SCCA production
(albeit for some different reasons)
& drove the costs to be competitive out of reach for the average guy/gal. At
a certain point, it's just a Triumph-facsimile.
Glen with Stanpart gearboxes
ps-JackW & crew are doing a great job when you consider the broad range of
racers that he has to accommodate. Everyone has their own interpretation of
"vintage racing" & different levels of prep & driving ability, & their job is
to keep everybody happy.
