Nope....But you will get tossed in D-Mod

I always grin when they still win with their puny, obsolete push-rod engines. The ricer guys go absolutely berserk. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

wow.... now i REALLY want one... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
 
WOOHOOO!!! What a delightful demo of the Seven!

Thank you Chris!
 
How does he get in reverse so fast?
Is there such a thing as a syncro reverse?

I have to push in the clutch and count thousand-three.
 
maybe? I was browsing through the google videos for Lotus Sevens, and that video came back as a 'Locost' replica of a Seven. Maybe he only really put it into reverse once or twice and just let the car's momentum carry it backwards once the front and rear swapped ends?
 
Nonooo.. Brake hard enuff to lock up the rear wheels (clutch IN obviously), or handbrake while sideways (in transition), and "snick" it right into reverse. I tried to watch him as he made the transitions and it appears he's just using the foot. It's a real dance, that. Very smooth. I'd LOVE to see what some other entrants' times were.
 
Had to watch it again! That just tickles me chitless.

He's using the footbrake only.
 
...ummm... oh nevermind.

Dave! Blackburn Road, Sewickley. Pro'lly at least one of the lads still at "The Car Store" would likely remember an Elan ride up that hill in my car.
 
Just in Sewickley 2 days ago. I'll have to look that one up.

Went up Sycamore St......To Mt Washington for dinner.
Then went back down........WEEEEEE /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/driving.gif

Do a few searches. Google video is the safest at the moment, but you also have Yahoo (my favorite if you leave on the parental controls), and Alta Vista....

Probably a few others.

Hey Randy: They're mostly already insane "right outta th' box." Not much need to pump 'em up further. Go for it.
