Re: Long Island Formula Vee Drivers

I think Eugene Grimes checked-out when he sold his Vee, but he still wheels a pink Miata with us in the American Endurance Racing series!

Other info at the home site; http://challengecupseries.com/index.php/races/all-races/race-4 My impression of the tires are: Lots of feedback (noise) Break away quickly, but somewhat forgiving Cheap (compared to slicks) Sexy (compared to slicks) Slower accelera...

Pocono Challenge Cup Series

I haven't raced the Vee since the October 2014 regional at Thompson...just got back from Pocono driving in Challenge Cup; had a great time!! The Faulkens make driving the Vee a whole different experience. The group had a vibe like "the old days" in FV. I encourage all that can to give it a...

Re: Just don't get it!

....and stick with regionals, Bill, Nationals/Regionals are gone at the end of this season. SCCA Club Racing will consist of Majors and Divisionals. Both provide a path to the Runoffs. Thanks Bill. The runoffs are not important to me any longer. Quality (car count ) track time at a "reasonable...

Re: Just don't get it!

Scott's point is valid'

I always thought FST was a great idea. Never went that route because I preferred to do Nationals.
Would convert now and stick with regionals, but not many FST's in my area. Other cost-effective, non-scca, forms of racing have gotten my attention lately...

Re: Chassis Stands?

I use 4 cheap-assed jack stands and lay a 30" long piece of angle iron across each pair.

Cheap and they are used for other projects as well.

Re: Bolt on valve covers

Statistics (from one stream-me):
I've entered approximately 135 races in my FV. I caused an incident where my valve cover was popped-off once (0.7%). The oil spilled was all off-pavement for that incident.

Are there after market spindles that are better (don't break) available? Are we allowed to use them?

Yes, Brian is correct. I think all tech groups have a set of 6" calipers. To nit-pick; there's no need for the no-go portion of the go / no-go gauge.
