Re: Oil filter questions

Hi Jeremy, without knowing where the filter is located it would be hard to figure out what it would be but a AC Delco PF53 which comes on a Saturn car which I have will also work on a remote oil cooler bracket and it is the filter that I used on my car for the last 10 years. As for the location of t...

Re: SR Racing is Retiring before 2014

Jim I am real sorry to hear that you are retiring again but I understand that since I just did myself. Where is everyone going to get all of the specialty stuff the vee's need to keep running? Since Lybarger retired you are the only shop left that caters to the vee community that actually has the pa...

Re: Just don't get it!

Yes we can bitch about tires till the cows come in but that is only about 1/4 to 1/3 of the cost of racing. If you do like Steve does and if you look around at most of the top national drivers me included we all manage our tires so as to get the most out of them. They are unfortunately the most visa...

You might want to contact VIR and ask them if you could part it there. They do have security there at least on race weekends.

Re: remember "Pro Vee"?

I can tell you what started the wreck at IRP since I was there. When we started the race my car was getting looser as it keep getting darker and I almost hit the wall in turn 1 and after changing my line I started to move back to the front and I had got back to third and Greg was first with Brad sec...

Re: FV 50th Celebration Announcement

Thanks Steve, but that might affect my attendance as a racer. Of course I would have to resurect the chassis #1 EV3 or the only EV2 both of which were made before the SCCA rule makers decided 1 3/8" roll hoops were better than 1 1/4" hoops that I made both chassis with. I am about to renew...

Re: rear end steps out

On my car if it was a little more than I was confortable with I would just toe in the rear somemore since it was easy to do at the track, so if you have an easy way to do it you might try that.

Re: Spec Tires

Input back from Dean is that Goodyear bean counters decided that there weren't enought sales in FV so they decided to not make tires.

Re: Spec Tires

After talking the Womer factory driver, Dean Curtis, it appears as this spec tire issue is a moot point since Goodyear did not make any tires so as soon as the left over tires are gone everyone will be on Hoosiers, hence a spec tire class. I still have some Goodyears mounted on wheels if anyone is i...
