racing transmission
I've finally succeeded in designing a continuously variable transmission that can offer the efficiency of a manual transmission and have no torque limit. It's hard meshed. It can shift smoothly, but up to a point. Then you need a clutch to disengage and change "gear" before it can shift more (continuously). But even so, with just 2 gear changes it offers a ratio span equivalent to a 6 speed manual.
I'm looking to see if it can benefit any motorsport industry, such as drag racing or NASCAR.
Anyone got any contact, let me know. Thanks.
Or anyone interesting in knowing more about it or have anything to contribute. Feel free to say it.

for drag racing is it more efficient then the "crowerglide" type of setup, I'm not sure if they fuel guys are using that now, last I knew it was a variation. Might be better for nascar, but for tractor pulling or fuel cars, I'm not sure.

iam interested in knowing more about specs on the tranny hp ratings, tow ratings, gear ratios. i do drag racing at the local track when my car is running right but i dont have any real contact with the big boys. also i am building a coustom mud bogger and i want a good strong auto to go in it i was going to go with a built manual/automatic c-6. ive been building up tranny for a few years and they have survived behind high hp engines and am always looking for stronger more dependable equipment

It doesn't have any discrete "set" of gear ratios. It can shift smoothly from a range of gear ratio span. Again, this depends on the set ups. But it can easily offer a ratio span of 18: 1. (top gear divided by the lower gear).
