    It's drag racing all the way for me I'm the clutch guy for the first uk FIA pro stock team www.pantherracinguk.com. Been involved all my life. It's where I met my wife, from a rival team ( lots of quite drives home).

          I strip the the wheels, propshaft gearbox and clutch after every run machine the clutch plate faces and make changes to spring pressures and counter weights. Then rebuild it and hope the car gets down the 1/4 mile in 6 secs at 200 mph

            Awesome, wish I'd have job/hobby/life like this, sadly I'm lacking in technical skills, but they're improving every time I do something on the car.

                My Uncle came down today, he works for a motorsports team not Formula One but some sort of formula. He has a Swedish driver working for his team - my Uncle said he uses snus and recommended it to my Uncle!

                          Do you use studded tires for winter racing?

                            Yup, otherwise it would be pretty difficult to drive, especially with RWD car like mine.

                              What kind of speeds are you hitting on the snow? That looks like tons of fun. I'm not really into motorsports, but baja, and rally driving I find interesting. Unfortunately, they're a a couple of the hardest to for relevant TV filming, or even seeing in person for that matter. I bet they're the most fun to do though :^)

                                On the snow, probably 70-80mph at max. As the car hasn't got much protection, the avg speed have to be fairly low during stages.
