Default Changes at SSPI Racing...

Well, it was bound to happen...and I want to keep the dedicated Dorki that "crew" for Team SSPI informed.

Team SSPI has "traded" one car, "acquired" another and will run the stalwart 356 tub and the "acquired" one in the upcoming HSR / PCA Club Races (SP and LRP) .

#60 "Jezebel" has been "temporarily" traded (don't ask) to pick up this beaut:



Manhattan trophy winner out of Jim Newton's shop (Auto Associates, Canton, CT). '66 2.0L SWB LH That is "almost" as good as the '68... that is until we "massage" it. Formerly a team SSPI car that won the overall HSR Klub Sport Challenge class in 2000.

The '68 2.0L #60 will be around and we'll be wrenching on / co-driving it for many years.

The "acquired" car (197X RSR) is very similar to the '73 IROC y'all know and should run with a power to weight ratio of around 6.7:1... close to the IROC's 6.25:1 ratio.

In a not so distant future ... the BEST '62 356 T6 racer out there with the prettiest paint might be for sale...

Should be interesting...

p.s. If you think I would give the actual P to W ratios ... I have a bridge for sale 4 u.
