Cool, he really set me on the right path. I was young, dumb and struggling to get my car to work on a t-stop. He was at a George Howard big money race in Tucson as a guest speaker and came to my pit and talked to me for a good half hour about throttle stop theory.

My uncle's car, that I drove for a couple of years, is very similar to that setup. Same RPM similar shift and on tmer for 2.25 to 2.5 depending on track elevation 171-175mph. One of the most cosntent cars i have seen, but liked to throw out a 4 hundredths slow run once a weekend, usually in eliminations.
