Sounds great. But, it' just too far from Connecticut. I would love to be there!

One more point. Last year the Michelin guy at Road Atlanta would not even acknowledge me.
He said they were $15,000 each!!!! Then walked away!
Both Bridgestone reps at Lime Rock at least were polite and listened.

The front tires on the Delta Wing are 4.0 x 23.0 x 15.
They are Bridgestone and will fit on our rims.
I jokingly asked at Lime Rock to try a used set.
Of course they said "no".

Thanks John for the posting. From the older, slower Galuardi.

I drove 1000 miles from Connecticut. I was slowest, but had a great time. It was well organized and well run. Thanks to Nick and Dietmar I ran all sessions. Met a lot of great people, and the dinner was fabulous. Thank you to all that put in the hard work and thank you to Duke and Faye for the wine....

Bob was always very helpful and willing to talk any time I called. I never met him,
but feel I know him. LRE will be missed. Thanks to all at LRE for your help over the years.

The New England Region and the Northeast Division will present our annual VeeFest. Come join us for some old fashioned Formula Vee racing at New Hampshire Motor Speedway on May 26 and 27. We will have a luncheon with some prizes during lunch break on Saturday and plenty of bench racing on Saturday e...

Thank you everyone. Somethings are just too simple. After taking the trans and engine in and out several times, and changing the pressure plate back and forth many times, you are all correct. The crow bar worked. So I installed the lump back in the chassis and lengthened the cable a little and wa la...

I use a cable operated clutch. I replaced the spring, clutch, throw out bearing, and pressure plate. With the transmission on the floor the clutch arm with the new spring swings smoothly through its arc. However, when mounted back on the engine it only moves a small amount and then feels solid. I re...

I also want to give a big thank you. I know how much work goes into it
from benind the scenes, and this years VeeFest was a first class event. Thank you
to Bruce, Paul, Steve, and all the generous sponsors. Tom

Thanks Dennis!!!

Thanks Jim from another "old timer" that knows you and your cars and driving!!!

The Lime Rock web site lists a national on May14-15 by Mo-Hud Region with possible support from NNJR. Perhaps it's only tentative?

Perhaps the production cars and the sedans should get multiple checker flags based on the number of cars in their class. 2 HP cars get the checker after 2 laps; 4 EP cars get a checker after 4 laps. How about if we put all the entries in one big 124 lap race??? Because of our open wheels and speed i...

I agree with Doug's response and was going to write the crb to express this. I have said this before, but not all Vee drivers can spend there time keeping track of the rules. If you bowl, play golf, play softball, etc. you don't have to check on any new changes to the rules every month. I am not tha...

I have been driving my Formula Vee for over 30 years. I am not a front runner. It may be a matter of money, talent, or newer equipment, or a combination of all, but I enjoy the class. I don't feel my engines are ever really down on power and I go 3-4 years on a re-build. I have never "spun"...

I did write the CRB. I used the risk versus cost issue and availability if all drivers needed one. However, I have written to the CRB many times and it doesn't seem to matter. On another topic; what was the tabled issue of piston/piston ring about? I don't recall any mention of this before! FV 20

The place John mentioned in Hartford, CT has done my exhaust several times. They do excellent work.
It's Central CT Coatings, Inc. East Hartford, Connecticut (860) 528-8281

I have had the same old FV since 1973!!! I used to be somewhat competitive, but for some reason every one else is going faster and perhaps I'm getting older and slower. But, even being back in the pack I enjoy the atmosphere at the track. There once was an add somewhere that said your friend likes b...

Thanks for all the great pictures. I'm going to try to link them to the sponsors I got especially Racer Parts Wholesale. They take a great interest in our event.

Thanks again for the great photo album, and I hope next time I see you you're driving your Vee

If you missed the "Big One" in Georgia, come to the "small one" in New Hampshire. We will be holding VeeFest '08 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway on May 24/25. The Formula Vee drivers of the Northeast have had this annual event for several years. There is a fantastic luncheon and ...

I am another that wrote to both the SCCA Board of Directors and the the CRB that I did not want the change. I also think getting 31 Formula Vee competitors to even write letter was quite a large number. But 19 to 12 and they change the rule. Were they in Florida? Were there any hanging chads? Look w...
