Re: First time I drove a FV...

Hi Barry, I was one of the instructors and trust me when I say that you and the other students did a fantastic job in REALLY, REALLY awful conditions. I have personally never seen it snow like that at Summit Point during a driver's school. Your instructor, Dan Voss, and I were watching at T1 when it...

Re: Fiberglass bodywork

Hi Tiago, I have done quite a bit of bodywork much to my wife's dismay (but I'm not single!) including making molds and making parts from molds. I learned some of it from an instructional DVD but I learned most of it from trial and error. I documented some of the stuff that I have done with my new c...

Re: Molds For Sale

Still for sale. Shane Viccary of AVR Motorsports fitted a scoop to a Protoform P2 and here is what he had to say about it. "Not sure if these molds are sold yet or not, but I can commend to how well the scoop works. Below is a picture of it fitted to our P2. The car had issues overheating last ...

Re: Roebling Road Hints

Hi Dave, With a short box (which is what I always used), you only use 4th gear. I always drove my car like a go-cart there and left foot braked. The biggest thing is to be smooth and pay lots of attention to your exit speed. It is easy to get a lot of understeer in the slower corners so if you carry...

Molds For Sale

While I had my Protoform P3 I did a lot of research and development and made a new nose that moved air above and below the axle beam (rather than through it) and along removable side pods that I also made. I’m not ashamed to say that I copied Michael Veracin’s car but they are also like what is seen...

Re: OIL COOLERS

I have found that Setrab oil coolers seem to work better than Earls but they are more expensive.

Re: Data?

I have taken the beginning course and the advanced course and they both really opened my eyes as to the value that data acquisition can provide. If you have a data acquisition system and you aren't sure if you are getting the most out of it then you need to take John's courses. If you are thinking a...

Re: Combined FV/F5 qualifying for *ALL* sessions ??

I won't be at the RunOffs but that situation really stinks. In practice last year I had a 500 get inside of me at the kink which was interesting. However, what was more interesting was when one braked for the kink and I intended on taking it full throttle. No incident in either case but definitely n...

Re: Data Everywhere

I signed up for the Advanced Classes -- can't wait! If you want to learn more about data acquisition then these classes are a must. I have read a couple of books but sometimes you really need examples and John's explanations are great. In addition, John allows you to re-take a course for free after ...

Re: Long Box

Still for sale! If you are planning on going to the RunOffs then you need a good long box and this is cheaper then having one rebuilt! Can be delivered to the RunOffs as well.

Re: Transmission Parts + Other Misc Parts

I have most (if not all) of these items on ebay now plus some other items like gauges and AiM sensors. Rather than listing all the different links, you can do an advanced search and select that you want to search on seller ID. My ID is FVEE5. Let me know if you can't find what I'm selling.
