Top Speed.
Your gearing is awful but on Bonneville it worked perfectly.
how much quality points in the engine are going to be allowed for non DOHC engines?
Its in the first post,
14 OHV
10 DAOHC
8 SOHC
But engine only, not the rest of the car.
And +5 Max per category stays.
This is mainly for SME and Petoskey, they stick to the engine technology used in their road cars. 1960s CMT âregularâ cars all use a SOHC 2 Valve. Ok, the OHV SME engine would still have lost against a similar one using DOHC, but it at least improves competetiveness on a fair way.
@lukerules117 @HighOctaneLove I am sorry for those who have to rebuild their cars. AFAIK this happens in all challenges. There is always something you forget at first.

Presenting the revised 1964 Leeroy Bastion Super Veloce!!!
When the revised rules were released introducing cost-cutting measures to protect the privateers from being swamped by over-engineered factory entries, Rowdy at first denied the news. Then, when the official fail certificate was sent in the mail, Rowdy set about to build something thatâd satisfy the rules yet still have a fighting chance on the track.
The hand built V8 was canned and a purpose cast 6L pushrod V8 put in itâs place, beefed up road car parts were installed to replace the custom cast items and a straight-cut road gearbox replaced the bespoke racecar unit.
The result, though technically less impressive than before, was still a weapon, with a monster V8 sound dominating the soundtrack and wheelspin being the dominant result of a heavy right footâŠ
Buy better, buy Bogliq

Why is a car from my company Calavera runing without my permission??? 
EDIT: I see itâs ramâs company CAVALLERA, with all due respect @CMT donât be a lazy host and check the company names in your competition.
EDIT2: Itâs ok @ramthecowy i just get confused. Re-reading what I wrote it sounds so harsh, but it was more on a voice tone that is hard to emulate just writting.

With everyone going for small light weight cars similar to those used in the other rounds it will be interesting to see how some cars made for extreme cornering ability do against the more balanced cars and then on the complete other side of the spectrum I have a 15 liter engined luxury sedan with a handcrafted interior and racing phonograph.
Mate, you missed a spot or two on the back to put more chrome on.

Honestly, I was a bit offended at first. But I knew it is not meant that way, so I am ok with your post.
I had the same issue with a customer today, his name was Schreiter and I accidentally called him Streiter (a person who likes arguing). He was not amused indeed and, well, argued. 
I do it now as I learned it it school some years ago.

I was thinking, and for the next round we should have a tire size limit, since a body that can fit bigger tires have a lower time compared with a lighter body with little smaller tires, thatâs why, even being lighter, the S30 body couldnât keep up with the other cars last season. And another reason is that even race cars didnât used 255 tires at this time.
The addition of slicks to the list may completely negate that but I havenât tested properly yet.
Doubt the compound offers a significantly greater advantage to fatter rubber
I have build 2 prototypes, 1Âș - new version of Heirloom with 12" wheels and 235-front 245-rear semi-slick tires and weighting around 1100kg, 2Âș - a small car with 10" wheels and 195-front/rear semi-slick tires and weighting around 650kg.
The 1Âș got 1.04g in 20m and 0,96g in 200m cornering, while the 2Âș got only 0,98g in 20m and 0,90g in 200m. Testing this difference on a equal car (same body and engine) got me around 6s in Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca.
I only thought about that because a bigger car can fit a bigger engine and bigger tires. But while we advance in time we probably will see this difference disappear, so we could just wait too.
Anyway, Iâll bring Heirloom to fight for podiums again, but this time with a V12 OHV engine.

I see your new car and all I can think of is you are so going dooooown 
140kg over the weight limit⊠nope.
I did not spend my time testing different prototypes but instead focused on single car with components I believe are winning combination. After first season quick build and second wnb jerichokillerflop, this one I bet on.
SoonâŠ

I want to apologize, not really my intention to sound as that. More like in a joking/kidding tone 
but still suggesting to pay attention to the name for the next time.
Obviously youâre going great lengths with your challenge, not lazy at all
