You guys will enjoy this new article: <span style="font-weight: bold">Pat Ryan's 1967 Triumph Spitfire Racecar</span> (47 photos!)
How quick is it? Well, in September at Watkins Glen this Spitfire was lapping reliably under 2:21 to win the SVRA Group 1 feature race by a margin of over nineteen seconds. Only one car in the all-MG Collier cup feature race lapped quicker than that, and it had a V8. Credit where credit is due: Pat Ryan is obviously a very gifted driver.
Maybe you can help me. Pat Ryan told me the Spitfire has a "Krantz" transmission. What's that mean?
