330 Mod: Question
Um, is there going to be another car (marque/model) for the 330 Classic mod?
It's not that I don't love the 330 P4--it was one of the greatest race cars ever--but Ferrari only built 4 of 'em, and it seems a little silly to have a whole field (43?) of 'em running around as if they were as common as Dodge Neons. How abt. their main competition, the Ford GT40. Or the Porsche 917 (which actually came a scosh later)? Or the Chaparral 2D (or its winged sister, the 2F)? Not complaining; just asking. |

Everyone of those cars mentioned were nominated by users. I beleive he's going to be making a 4 car mod but I haven't paid too much attention to that subject. With the Bullrun 1000 comming up I'm much too busy writing fake press releases. The Pit's TPTCC online league is dicussing running the 330 mod on off weeks and one member has even broached the idea of donating several hundred dollars as prize money to lure competitors for the so-called 2nd season. I beleive ISRL or one of those Euro leagues is already planning competition based on the 330 mod. Looks like folks have taken quite a liking to this effort. dave henrie btw...one of my fondest moments in TV race watching was one of the first broadcasts by Speedvision of the SCCA runnoffs...yes dang near 40 Dodge Neons and a few outmucscled Mazda Miata's went at it around Mid Ohio. What a GLORIOUS sight that was. <no comments JD!!!!> dave henrie |

Yes, I was in one of those hundred-car fields of Neons (no, I think it was
the Plymouth GLT, a pocket rocket if ever there was one) at Mid-O during a Car and Driver Reader Challenge or something. I also ran an NSU Prinz in the Lime Rock Little LeMans ("little sedans for little Le Mans" or, as the great David E. Davis, Jr., once memorably called them, "sh*tty little cars for sh*tty little people"), but "glorious" isn't a word that springs readily to mind to describe the field (OR the driving). We had a giant screwdriver stick in the tranny tunnel after the shift lever broke off, but it got stuck in 2nd gear...not quite what you want at The Rock.

Good show! Depending on the tracks involved (where is Imola when we need
it?), I will definitely be racing this mod online!

The TPTCC Regulars are taking a break on Nov 28th (US thanksgiving) so
we're running the Ferrari 330's as a non-points event that weekend, if you're interested.... http://www.geocities.com/bbyarker1/tccreg.html |

What could possibly be the problem if I am only getting 4 gears instead of 5...with the 330 which happens to be absolutely a blast to drive at Spa.
