Barber Grand Am GT race video LG Motorsports
Hi guys,
Here is the Barber motorsports park in car video with Eric Lux and Kelly Collins driving.
We had a driver hot foot problem and had to make a green flag pit stop twice and lost 2 laps. Other than that we were running top 6 for quite a while.
The transmission is the direct replacement EMCO Sequential that we were testing earlier in the year. Bolts between the torque tube and stock diff.
Enjoy the Video
thanks
Lou Gigliotti

The driver literally burned his heel. So we got a Styrofoam cup and placed it in the driver shoe heel for his next stint and that helped.
We will have that problem fixed by VIR.
The gearing was a 373 Corvette diff with the EMCO Sequential transmission. The gearing in the transmission is very close ratio with a 5% overdrive 6th gear.
The computer uses a Strain gage on the shifter to sense when it is being pulled and it interrupts the spark for a couple of milliseconds to allow a flat - no lift shift.
No clutch necessary and no lift. Down shifts are normal needing a blip but the shift pattern is Pull back for up shifts and push forward for down shifts.
Thanks

It didn't affect the performance other than just some extra drag on the straight.
We have a lot to learn in this series. IT is racing 100% all the time.
No one gives you a break, and that is good for the racing.
Thanks
