Re: For what it is worth...

Hi Johnny. I'm not surprised by the SuperTrapp. They are very restrictive. The Coast Fabrication muffler that makes my car look like it has a stinger added 10 hp and 10 ft-lbs over the open header. The SuperTrapp took away more than 10 each from the open header.

Re: Rules Clarification

The rules for SoloVee in Appendix A of the Solo rulebook specifically refer to GCR rule C.1.1.C.6 which requires a minimum rod weight of 425 grams. The GCR allows rods to be lightened. I would interpret that to mean polishing is allowed to get to 425 grams.

If you mean did Darren Seltzer drive the former Colgrove car, the answer is no. It is a very different car. Darren's co-driver is owner of this car. The Colgroves' car was there. It is now black.

Re: Muffler

I have a SuperTrapp and a Burns. I found that the Supertrapp killed the hp when used at a National a few years ago. I had to go down to only four disks to meet the sound limit. That venue has stricter limits than the National regs. The shorter Burns will gets me down to 95 to 98 dBa at most courses ...

Real Racing Wheels makes three piece aluminum wheels. For more money, there is Bogart. For a lot more money, there are Keizer and Kodiak.

Diamond Racing Wheels makes spun steel wheels.

It's time for a new engine.

I won FM at the St. Louis Road Tour, but parts of the engine were returned to me in a plastic bag. Fine pieces of magnesium and steel are scattered all over Madison County, IL. You can put your fist through the hole in the case. I had just shifted into 4th when it went bang. It was a fast course. I ...

Re: A few questions

The disk brakes are definitely worth it. Look at dune buggy brake kits. I dropped over 40 pounds and no more adjusting. Brake feel is better and braking is more consistent. VW disk brakes add weight. If that is what you can afford, then stick with the drums. The 1915 is somewhat more powerful than t...

Alright, Art here is positive. We won't be moving to CM.

They are overwhelmingly against the move. Besides, the FM people seem to be much friendlier. At least they are as long as our valve covers don't fall off.

Tuesday and Wednesday were hotter than Thursday and Friday, but the time differences between the first and fifth heats kind of equalize the weather. No rain to speak of all ...
