Drivetrain & Gearing / Re: What driveshaft do I have?
« Last post by justfreaky on Today at 12:03:19 pm »
There are two types of drive shafts that are legal. The original was white in color and has internal retainer-clips on the universal joints. The flanges that bolt to the front and rear were thinner. This shaft is widely used but the u-joint are NOT rated for the RPM's of a legend Car. The second and current shaft has 1200 series u-joint and is rated closer to the RPM's of a Legend Car. The newer gray shaft has external clips. The white shaft will weigh about 2-2.5 lbs less and should be in the 14lb range. The gray shaft closer to 16 to 16.5 range. Both are currently legal and have the same outer tube diameter.

If the bolt pattern is not the same, then it is likely you have the wrong ends on it.

Drivetrain & Gearing / What driveshaft do I have?
« Last post by Animalguy on Yesterday at 10:10:22 pm »
A while back I picked up  a driveshaft and being new to legends I had figured they were all the same. This one looks like the proper shaft but the ends seem too small and the flange bolt circle is too small.and not square.

The ujoints don't have external clips

Could this be from a 8 bolt from a dwarf or modlite?

Check with the track or another racer. They are usually very willing to help out. Another option may be to go to some SCCA Autocross events.

General / How to build experience?
« Last post by Rainman on March 23, 2024, 07:56:49 am »
Please forgive the dumb new guy question, but: how do you build experience driving a legend car before race events?

I?m working on getting into the sport.  New Hampshire Motor Speedway is my closest track but I can?t seem to find anything about track days or opportunities to drive other than their two race weekends.  Anyone know anything about getting time on tracks in the region?  I?m primarily interested in road course.  Thanks in advance.

Another issue is that USLCI has done away with some of the body styles. So new parts are not available.

The Ford coupes with the Chevy nose are extremely popular at the track I race at, as are at most tracks from what I've seen.  The Chevy coupe is very similar, it's just missing the b pillar basically; my friend has one.  One other guy and I have Chevy sedans, and there used to be a 34 Ford and a 37 Ford sedan at my track but both are up for sale now.

Now we have a slotted and drilled disc brake rotor. As usual, they come out with new rules and new parts after most of us have our cars back together for the season. $58.99 each.
