A while back some people asked me how it was that a Sprint car didn't have a transmission, so I took some pics last Saturday night at the last race of the season.
This picture is just for reference for the picture further down.
Inside the black tube is the driveshaft, which goes from the crank to the rear end. Just above it, you can see the power steering pump, which is driven directly off the back of the camshaft.
There are more pictures on
this page on my website.
Take care,
