Mike,

=20

my engine is really nothing special.

Standard crank, standard valves, good ported head, good camshaft, Ford =
Rods (I remember Tony has organized them for me), Phoenix exhaust head, =
48 Webers, that=E2=80=99s all.

My car is handling great. With good brake pads the standard brakes do =
very fine. Cast iron drums at the rear, Swaybars at front and rear.

There you have it. From last to win (okay=E2=80=A6.I was sat back to 4th =
because I accidently overtook under yellow)

Yep, MGs are lighter and I think they have a tiny advantage on tight =
corners.

But Triumphs do better from my experience.

My TR4 with 88mm bore is doing quite well and is on most cases faster =
than a MG.

I see the same thing here with good Mg's quicker than the TR-4 cars.  =

Never be beaten by equipment.

Very well driven.

=20

Wondering why these MGs and Porsches are that quick?

Normally Triumphs eat MGs and Porsches for Breakfast ;-)

=20

What power do they make?

Here in Europe MGs are in the 160Hp range, while TR 4s are about 175-190 =
Hp range.

Another Grattan video.  Fantastic battle with Scott Fohrman in an MGB=20

and Michael Moore in his beautiful red TR-4.  13 minutes of full-on =
racing.
