    I've never see Mitch Snider's team run in person, but they sure run consistant. Not sure if the Lencodrive is the reason or not but they're doing something right over there! I remember a lot of drivers saying that it was a LOT less maintainance than the standard setup. I thought a lot of the TAFC guys would have it by now.

    The LencoDrive is an absolute no-brainer. 5.59 with a 470 cubed motor? Come onnnn! Look for a big #1 on the Snyder car in '07!

    a new wilkerson

    the new car will be tim wilkerson's son with a lencodrive deal.....

    also look for cody barklage to possibly make the switch to ihra tafc....

    i can tell you first hand from driving and tuning a lencodrive car, that thing is pretty impressive what it can do. snyder definitely gives us something to shoot for, but those guys are smart enough to make it look easy.

    wayne morris is running respectable numbers in tad as well.

    until we get there, we'll just be happy being the 'other lencodrive' car in TAFC...LOL.

    The Synder team is one of the best out there and I also think they will be #1 very soon.

    cid

    you have a hard enough time dealing with the torque of a smaller motor, much less the torque of a 526 with the lencodrive/converter. i think they tried a bigger motor briefly and went back to the 475. we run a 496 in ours.
