BFoster

Thanks! Although I must say the sound is even better!

355 in IIB?

BFoster

Yep, it's a 350 that's been bored .30 over, so unless my math is incorrect... it should come out to 355 cubic inches.

AUTO_X_AL

Wish they would let us do that in IIE. I never had an appreciation for the C3's until last sunday. Definately a riot to drive.

Would you worry about temps in that car on a road course? How hot does it run after 20 minutes or more track time? It's beautiful, BTW. I only just stopped my wife from calling ya'll on it. She likes C3s.

RAFTRACER

I think in group 2 , you are allowed at least a .060 overbore. I think it is greater than that actually. .060 over =360 inches and a considerable compression gain. Compression=power across the board.


There are some things on this particular car, that would [I]not] be B/SP legal, but regionally you would probably be alright.


Old cars are cool, I am glad I have been able to keep my B/SP '72 LT-1 car all of this time. I believe I saw this car at Putnam Park NCCC event this year and it is nice.

You are allowed dopey, read the rules for once.

69autoXr

I thought for a long time that I had cooling problems on tracks, but it turns out that once I put in an accurate gauge, there were no problems. I might seen 220* at a track once this summer, but that's the worst I've seen since the new gauge. The old gauge would read 250* after just a few laps.

FastZR1

You can go 30 over in IIE. Ask me how I know. You can't run 1.6 roller rockers though. (1.5 is good though) Ask me how I know.

69autoXr

70 over for all Group 1 and 2 is allowed.

AUTO_X_AL

Just when I thought this winter was going to be cheaper. Oh well anything to try to go faster! oops sorry bout that just didnt realize you could do that. Damn I hate when this happens! So Chris you avaiable to help on an engine build this winter!

AUTO_X_AL

Sounds like I got the rules between NCCC and SCCA crossed up a bit.

RAFTRACER

Thats what I was thinking......I knew it was more than .060, but .070 is just a wierd size.


BTW , why didn't you are Alan show up at Peru this weekend , where all of the other Michigan people were. Enjoyed talking briefly with Alan's dad.......

69autoXr

Yeah, but we'll build it at Kellermeyer's place.

69autoXr

CCM had an autocross up here, and I was trying for a perfect points score in the club, so I ran up here. All of the other Michigan people were not competing for a points position within CCM or are running for national points.

AUTO_X_AL

Well being in the car business I had to work the last weekend of the month. I also had a chance to run Chris' 69 at a local event on sunday. I wanted to hit Peru but I must say driving a good running C3 was an awesome expirience. I have alot of respect for you guys that fly in the C3's. Different animal but still a Vette and a blst to drive. I look forward to catching up with alot of you guys next season!
