I was doing some laps after the Retro East endure at Speedzone. The gearing is much better, it really sings down around the bank, the speed being similar to some American armed 16Ds that some of the local guys were testing (no comparison on the corners LOL) Still a little fishtaily but manageable. I have to look to see if the width of the tires is actually to 1970 NCC specs, they might be able to go a bit wider. Lot's of fun driving a 40 year old lead sled.
"Whatever..."
