1959 Quantum One Hmod, SAAB at Lime Rock

This is the entire "all comers" race on Saturday, September 24th 2004.

I was driving Dad's '59 Quantum One Hmod.

The white car I dice with is a Speedwell Sprite.

We had recently installed a tuned expansion chamber exhaust. That improved the breathing to the point that our carb jetting was off. As a band aid, you see me reaching for the a knob on the dash occasionally. That's the choke. I'd pull the choke slightly to open the choke circuit and richen the mixture. It worked!
