Say ... WHAT ??? You MUST be joking ...

Steve, how many of those new tracks provide National Events in your division? Also, Do you know what happened to Greg Bruns? Almost ALL of them. Neither Nashville nor Barber (yet) offer a National, but we still have TWELVE Nationals scheduled at SEVEN different tracks in SEDIV. Even though National...

Here in San Francisco Region we have 1 National event. Low entrys have been blamed. Well, if you have more events, you may have more entrys! Just a thought. L Bacon Trust me on this... It is the TOTAL NATIONAL EVENTS per *DIVISION* that has the biggest impact. If you have 25 National 'in Division' ...

Well - *I'M* certainly NOT making the trip!

I've been waiting for that 'shoe drop'. After the entry for Homestead last year, I'm not really surprised.
New track and all... guess they've got to pay for it somehow.
Talk about killing the goose ...

Wed, Nov 26 at either 12 or 1P EST - can't remember which.
Check SpeedTV.com for the full schedule - search for SCCA or Runoffs

Not to hijack the thread, but FWIW Jay was at the ARRC with a prototype (not completed - just the engine sitting in a bare frame) of the new 600 car - he said it took very little frame mods to fit the engine. It has (will have) PADDLE SHIFT and looked pretty interesting. The engine should turn up to...

Al,
Thanks for the report. Glad to hear that Eddie's OK, though it was a good bit worse than at first thought. Hopefully, he can find a car he likes better .
Steve

Bill, I'll be there to spectate (and drive the pace car) and to pick up my tires/wheels from Butch. We're expecting a great show ... just be sure to remember you want to take all those cars home intact :). I won't be there Thursday, but will be up Friday and Sat. Hunt me down if any of the guys need...

Lee,
Not sure where you're headed, but you might check with Tim Lee at SafeQuip (SafeQuipRacingProducts.com). He carries a bunch of stuff and services MOST SEDIV races. He might have what you need and be THERE when you need it. .

Don't forget to consider the MASTER SWITCH in the process. In my own case, I got one with a key that wasn't 'right'. It BARELY made contact in the ON position (but I didn't realize it). After having it 'flip' itself off on 2 occasions (during races), I pressed IN on the key and found good contact. T...

Brian, The new GY tires are significantly different from the old 430 and 420's from previous years. I consider them to be measurably better and the circumferences are the same (within 1/2 inch) for the fronts and short rears and about 1.5 inches less for the tall rears (better I think). They have go...

At least according to the Speed schedule

Steve Saslow's car reportedly suffered extensive damage due to his late race crash. Stephen, Are you recovered enough to give us a brief report on what happened and the damage to yours and Eddie's cars? That's REALLY the pits for both of you as I know that you both had previous crashes during the e...

Must be something about that 'show all new posts' thing that doesn't quite work 100% .
So .. I'm a little BEHIND the times...

Back in MAY, FRED CLARK was selected for induction into the Road Racing Driver's Club (RRDC) - a VERY select group of professional as well as amateur drivers, and a few who are just associated with the sport. Current President of the RRDC is Bobby Rahal. I was not aware of this till now, maybe some ...

Anthony, I'm certainly no expert, but the trannie from any VW bug or bus during the years of 60 or so to 64 should be good. you DON'T want the early split case (you could USE it, but it probably wouldn't fit your internals) - the case is split vertically down the middle. Just don't get one of the la...

Actually, both configurations are TRAILING ARMS. The FV GCR does not mention the allowance of 'leading' arms ... therefore no cars use them
It just a matter of PERSPECTIVE..

HEY!! "WE" are not the 'cousin class'... THEY are!! And I'm afraid we are much OLDER, rather than YOUNGER...

Yep - the later models used a longer axle and tube. If you get the wrong ones, you'll be 'over track' on the rear. I don't recall what the actual measurements are, but I think the long ones are a bit over an inch longer than "ours". Tough to tell by just looking at them unless you're prett...

Sandy and Russ established the 'status quo' from the start. John and Scott were fighting to hang with them .. and fighting with each other. Eventually, John prevailed over Scott and moved "into" the lead pack. He seemed to have trouble drafting by - he could get along side, but not complet...

All, Paul Sheimer has agreed to take over this project. If you have seen his 45th B'day DVD you will know that he has 'the tools' to get the job done. When you receive your 'stuff' back from Kevin, please forward it on to Paul so we can move forward with this. You might also send any suggestions you...

For those that might be interested, I finally got around to creating a 'real' excel spreadsheet to do the calcs necessary to determine internal gear ratios. There are probably some ratios that I missed, so if you find one let me know. Or if you find any errors in it. You can download it from my webs...

If i might interject a suggestion here. If you are in FV and are getting LAPPED by faster classes, do EVERYTHING you can DO to let them through without hindrance - including SLOWING a bit here and there to allow them to clear you before you get to a turn/brake point. Yes - it might not be 'fair', bu...
