Just how quick were the 273 Commando's in the Quarter-Mile.

Sneaky Pete,

What I remember from back in 1968.

When the traction was too good, the 273 would 'lag' off-the-line with the
stock Flywheel.

We got a Schieffer Flywheel 'heavy-wheel' which was 38 lbs. We still used a
Weber Clutch-Disc {9 1/4"} with a Borg & Beck Pressure Plate.

It kept the Rev's up when coming off the line.

And we came up with a 'home-made' Traction Bar, made from Channel-Iron
{3" Width x 18" Length}.

It worked fairly well.
