Linda,
You are on a slippery slope with the hill climb!! Years ago I started
autocrossing my bugeye then "decided" to try the hillclimb in Ellenville NY. I
won in my class and I was bitten, much time and effort went to convert the car
to a real racer.
BTW I "cheated" in the hill climb. I went out and bought a 5.36 rear. It is
amazing what gears can do if you do not need a high top speed.
Good luck and watch the bank account.

List,
OK you all have good reasons for me not getting a "fuel cell" right now but
if I decide to run my little Sprite on the track this is something I will
have to plan for. Plus I'll have to save up for very expensive transition. I
am going to do the Hill Climb in Pa hopefully next year as the guys at the
tent at Carlisle convinced me it will be loads of fun. For the Hill Climb
you only need a 5 point seat belt and a Snell Approved Helmet. They said if
I join SCCA there are no fees for the climb. I may just volunteer for the
pits next year to see what I want to do for my climb the following year. It
would be nice if some of you guys come along as I think it would be loads of
fun. You can take any car ; ) I'll send the link when I get home.

PS My fuel tank is fine on Pinky but the UK guys mentioned this NOS tank on
ebay as being super hard to find: *
