About that under the car shielding. All the new Mercedes Benz cars ( and all the rest too ) have plastic shields under the car to improve aerodynamics and to make them more silent. Fuel effiency gets better and better and all this reduces pollution. How green are we? Seppo from Järvenpää, Finland www.hollowheads.net (just click the hole in the head to proceed)

I will PM you to discuss it. We have been selling "Burns Brothers Racing" t-shirts, but we need to get the cost down a little to be able to sell them on-line. If it were me, I wouldn't pay over $20 for a shirt and after shipping there just wouldn't be enough profit left. We are currently out and there are some design tweeks and an update on the records being made. Seppo, I sent you a PM...................Thanks guys *Charlie Burns* Laton, Ca (South of Fresno) BurnsRacing981@gmail.com

I started with 3.25 (what a rookie!), then worked my way through 3.73, 3.89 skipped 4.11 and went to 4.33 and finally found the sweet spot. Tire changes has fine tuned the final drive ratio from there. When I tell people about the 4.33's,they get a scrunched up look on their face. That little 258 just needs a lot of breathing room. If I had four or five hundred hp, it would be a different story. Wow. I was convinced that it would take a 3.00 or 3.25 to run at those speeds. I guess that 4.11 I snagged will be the place to start. Best regards, Paul Menten Meridian, Idaho
