That's like asking if a pig is prettier in a dress than a cow. No racecar is fundamentally better for the street. If you have to drive one on the street, use the one with the higher ground clearance.

Sorry John,

You're right. I just assumed it was closer, but a quick google map check shows Summit Point to Nelson Ledges is 5 hours.

I can't make it, but you can send the Snacks, Sodas and Beer to the address you have on file for me!

Scott, Since noone is talking... I have ZERO Solo experience, but just converted a vee to a first. Steve Pastore of Vee Sport Racing recommended keeping the drums on the rear. His opinion was that the rotors are significantly heavier than the drums adding unsprung weight and that when properly adjus...

As a Vee guy, I viewed the SCCA's fuel rules as a way to force us to support the racing fuel industry, when we'd be happy running just inexpensive pump fuel. It's a significant additional expense!

Edit: The pictures are in the VEE PHOTOS section. Still, very nice looking car!

Would love to see some pictures. If you email some to racergeek@aol.com I'll post them here.

Have you tried Eugene Grimes' site for pix and vids of people?

BTW, this is a forum. This is the technical section. It seems reasonable that people would discuss technical matters in the technical section of a forum. Thanks for pointing that out to me, Greg. You of all people should know how desperately I need direction. But as I read the posts in this thread ...

A change like this just is making the challenge of tuning a FV easier. I can absolutely guarantee that this proposal came from someone who mounted their beam too low on the chassis and now has interference in heavy braking situations. We changed this rule in Canada for a while because the Warrior c...

This is from an email sent out to the MARRS FV group. It was from a regional guy that does most of his own work on his car, not a Runoff's contender looking to move up the podium. It was an email he sent to the FV rep for input, so the actual request might have been different, but this was the inten...

Daryl,

The photo in the first post of this thread shows small wings molded in which I assume are for the purpose you describe.

Jim, All valid points, but the one poster says that the prices are now for all angles and all sizes. Here is what was posted on ApexSpeed. Hans did have the new Sport Series $695 Hans device at PRI. This weighs approx 2 oz more than the Extra Series model. It will not be available until Jan 2008. Th...

Information on new HANS devices and pricing from PRI was posted at ApexSpeed.com. Now you can get a new HANS for less than a set of tires.

A quick google search found this. http://www.vintagegarage.com/holit.html I have seen several Hawke DL5's listed for sale over the years. Looking at old FSV registries there listings for DL5's but not DL8. http://www.race-cars.com/carsold/other/h5v510/h5v510ss.htm http://bellsouthpwp.net/y/s/yspect8...

If you send me a picture at racergeek@aol.com I'll post it here until the car sells.
