Boy, I want close ratios for my dumb old TR4 so bad I can taste it. I
don't think I will go any faster but it sure would be more satisfying to
drive if It had a useful second gear. I know the cost would be
prohibitive, but in lieu of close ratios that were available at the
time, I'd almost vote yes for this one (go ahead guys and gals - I've
got my nomex on)

Who cares? I'm going as fast on bias ply's - but maybe that means I'm
going slow on both

I like the SCCA rules in effect at the time. They said basically that
all parts had to come from the the factory, same page in the Gen Comp
Rules but could be modified by metal removal, as long as the part was
still identifiable as original. I would make exceptions for cranks and
rods made from better materials just for longevity's sake.
