Dorsey continued to amaze us all by telling us how the FA cars just push a button on the steering wheel to shift......
I had a push button automatic back in the sixties

Aren't some of the newer 016 Swifts paddle shift?
I would guess that very few of the cars out there today were paddle shifters, but what do I know?
I thought I remember reading last year, in a report on the hopefully-temporarily defunct Pro Atlantic Championship at Road Atlanta, that they were working on installing a no-lift, paddle-shift system on Keith Grant's Swift?

Anyone know what engines the top runners had?
Sedat clearly had a big horsepower advantage based on his trap speeds and the way he pulled away on the straights.
It reminded me of the turbo DSR a year ago.

I saw Arnie in T5 after the race. He said that the engine was a Toyota 1600.
someone told me last year that the 1600 will continue to make more and more HP at higher and higher revs, right up to the moment it grenades.....

If they don't put in some better FA engine regulations (OEM type engine supplied in car) FA is going to be quite small at the Runoffs next year. Costs more to be competitive in FA at the runoffs than it does to race an Indy Car!
I thought Sedat's engine was a bored and stroked Fit.
Don't you have to declare on the entry form what engine you have?
The cars have different weights based on engine. Or, is that not 'public' info?
The tech sticker also lists weight. Usually you can guess the engine from the weight if you're familiar with the engine table.
Paul,
I think your RT41, trimmed out, would be fully competitive at R Amer......wish you had made the trip.
BTW, we made a mock-up of a 2.0 MZR and JFR conversion for my 41. It was too pricey for me, so I ended up selling the car rather than dealing with the ever changing engine table.
Regards,
Bill
