power steering cooler options
#16
Difficult in parking lots and with race tires it takes a lot of shoulder in tight turns. I enjoyed it on the track, kinda sux around the city.
I've got a manual rack on the shelf that a spec racer rebuilt, was thinking of trying it out.
Maybe I've still got some fluid in it, I did it when it people first started doing it.
i had two other thoughts that it might make me faster in autox:
Read a piece by Mark Donahue where he said adding PS to one of their race cars improved their times by like a second a lap - his idea was that with the car so much easier to steer, he could plan more on where to put it instead of having to muscle it around.
Parallel to this is the idea of using your smaller, better controlled muscles in your forearms over the large muscles in your shoulders - more fine control. I recall something along these lines from Midohio driving school or one of my race books.
