Re: Board ANNOUNCEMENT ! and DONATIONS ...
I was doing some maintenance today and noticed that the DONATE link to paypal was BROKEN. I have fixed it now - on the https://FormulaVee.us/donations.html webpage so that all of you that have been 'stifled' at NOT being able to donate can now 'get it done'

Loss of TWO SCCA Solo drivers last Sunday at ProSolo in WA
Just a reminder to everyone, that NO ONE is 'safe' any more. If you don't subscribe to the SCCA 'Up to Speed' emails, it's reported there. Few details, but I never expected to hear this happening at a SOLO event .. although I think ProSolo is actually TWO cars at a time. The parking lot around the '...

CHANGE IN RAIN LIGHT REQUIREMENTS FOR FV 1/1/24
Just to let everyone know, SCCA has 'unilaterally' decided to REQUIRE a new ~$200 FIA Certified rain light on our cars for next year and beyond. I have created a POLL about this over on ApexSpeed.com if you wish to place a 'vote' about it. https://www.apexspeed.com/forums/showthread.php?96214-NEW-PO...

Rob, We need to see more pictures with the bodywork off, but I don't think it's a 'name brand'. It's obviously been doing AUTOCROSS in it's most recent life (C-Mod) and the tires/wheels/engine. The engine is a later model - probably a 1600 base with oversize jugs - the biggest I've seen is just unde...

Even though I DO have 'bosch blue' in both my cars, IMHO coils are not really very important beyond the fact that they WORK.. and if you are using a 'standard' point set or a 'regular' Pertronix or equivalent ignition, that you be sure you have a coil with 'adequate' internal resistance .. i.e. 'aro...

Re: Heads Up
Dietmar,
How's things? Getting down the stairs OK these days? Hope this knee is working out at least as well as the first one. Linda is still doing great. She's pretty much over it now. Just like she never had a problem in the first place - only better.

Re: Heads Up
Dietmar,
It's been 2 weeks now .. hope the 2nd knee is going as well as the first. I'm happy to report that Linda's hip replacement went fabulously and she seems to be about 90% healed up and ready to go now. She had her 6 week's visit with the doc yesterday and all reports are good.

Barry, I can't tell you the ANGLE.. but a standard box with standard arms requires about 3/4 steering wheel revolution from straight ahead to full lock in either direction.. Approx 1.5 turns lock to lock (IIRC). Not sure what you are trying to DO that would require you to KNOW that. It's just a 'fac...
