Thanks both for the good advice. Ok i was expecting for there to be quite a few standardisations / requiremnents but i guess that's only when you get into the competetive side. This sounds promising so i'll look into some novice / test days and take it easy. I installed a tranny cooler already, so now thinking about plumbing in a temp gauge for it. I guess it makes sense to have one on the line going out of the tranny as opposed to the return line. As far i'm aware the tranny box doesn't have anywhere to plumb in a temp gague (of course i could be wrong :) ).

Hopefully see you lapping me at one of the days next year Stu :P
I reckon just not overdoing it on laps and not trying shift to hard manually and the gearbox will be fine... Most circuits I only use 2 gears 90% of the time, so not loads of changing up and down. The engine oil starvation issue is the only thing to address...


I've got a friend in his 74' Corvette who wants to try as well, and there must be more on here that may be up for it, so be great to get a Chevy novice session group together.

I'm up for a track day session with other chevy guys in Snetterton.

Quite like the idea of a novice chevy session. looks like there are 4 so far. My car should be on the road around Feb / March so anytime after that would be great.
