That was fun...THANKS !
Curious, how long does the clutch hold up to that kind of driving ?

To be honest I’m not sure
1st couple years I had the original type clutch that the previous owner fitted 20+ years ago.
couple years ago I had the A type OD rebuilt and upgraded by these guys.

Better cone clutch and more pressure for a more instant change. At the same time he modified the already lightened flywheel 19lbs to take the diaphragm (tr6) clutch.
I also have the hard uprated engine and gearbox mounts. ( oh yeah it’s a TR6 g/box too)
All make a big difference.

I enjoyed that. Do you shift into 2nd or 3rd OD at all in those sprints? I've heard that some have put the OD button on the gearshift for racing. I guess it would depend on the type of track you would be on in order for the OD to be effective?

Hi yes use overdrive on 2nd and 3rd
On these tight tracks. The momentary switch is on the dash on the right just under the steering wheel so I can operate it with hand on the wheel. I have a logic box so it automatically drops out when changing gear.

very nice-- my left hand gave me a head ache watching you shift
