- If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!

Building & operating a race car is a systems engineering job, and includes the driver.
In developing a competitive racecar, the last thing that should be developed is the engine.
An expert is a guy 50 miles away from home with a brief case.

- The best bang for your buck is improving the driver.

- The best acceleration is achieved by the highest average horsepower between the optimum shift points
- Fully develop what you have before jumping to a new set up.
- Max horsepower is at a single point and is called bar room horsepower.

“We usually ran relatively standard & proven equipment, while everyone else tried to trick up their cars with new gimmicks, then dropped out. We certainly had that happen often enough ourselves. That was a very, very good lesson, and it’s still true.”
