When were you on the track on your tub? recently? I'd be curious to get a ride on a street tub on the track to see how it is. For WHATEVER reason, none of my students seem to have them at DEs

It’s been a couple of year but “DER TUB” was Linda’s track car for several seasons. I had to rig headrests & at least 3 point harnesses to meet minimum DE requirements. So it was easier to add a roll bar (for the adjustable headrests) keeping the stock seats. The 3 point retractable seat belts came from a donor VW Golf. Her tub has a 912 engine with Webers, 4.5” and 5” wheels, and the Skirmits compensator. Currently not trackable due to the accumulation “free rust”. Webers work best flat out, not so good around town. Car is a blast on SP, especially in the rain. The 356 runs flat out while the HP cars have to throttle back.

Part of my long list of upgrades is a full set of NOS brake cylinders for the stock setup ( Hershey years ago) and “C” brakes last year... all still in a drawer waiting to be installed.
