Good info, thanks Dietmar!
I also balanced on the car back in the "old days". I recall you mentioning the extra spindle and drum once before. Good idea.
I always used the stick on's with tape. I'll have to get the bang on type for future use.

Re: Board ANNOUNCEMENT ! and DONATIONS ...
Hi Dietmar,
I figure that is the case. With ApexSpeed being so big it's where people tend to go for internet info. Nice place, but as far as technical FV info it's not even close, as we all know.

Re: Board ANNOUNCEMENT ! and DONATIONS ...
Thanks for the reminder, Steve.
I hope new people in FV are finding their way here as there is a huge amount of technical information unlike anything else I have seen, for any class.

That's a terrible tragedy. Thanks for the heads up and a reminder that when cars are in motion things can and do go wrong.

Hello Dietmar,
It's been a while. Hope to hear you are all mended and ready for another 75 years or so. Or is it 200 when the knee's are bionic

Re: Blood on the car...
Sad situation when the most participated class historically and still near the top is shuffled into oblivion. I know there are regional participation issues in some area's, not helped by mixing FV with cars like FC. I like the FC and the FE cars, but they should not be on the track with FV's. FF and...

Re: Blood on the car...
I did not know that FC had been added to the mix. I cannot imagine what the thinking is on that given the disparity in speed and braking. I ran several regional's that had them in a one group all things open wheel and it was not ideal, and that with only a handful of the very fast cars. You really a...

Blood on the car...
I've read in the past that something isn't truly yours until you've bled on it :) It's not the first time my car has drawn blood, but it's the first time in a long while. While jigging up some of the back to remake lost measurements I decided to remove the 4 into 2 and 2 into 1 exhaust header parts....
