Re: Fmod question???

Kinda points to the idea that all that aero crap doesn't mean a thing. All you need is a reasonably well prepared a car and a really good driver :lol: :lol: .

Re: New match Tour format thoughts

In a word, I think it "sucks" :cry: I'll be "voting" with my car's lack of attendence, although I'm pretty sure my "hired gun" (son) could get into the final shootout on Sunday @ Dixie :P .

Re: Any Stories?

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. Well Lynn, sometimes the hard decisions are the correct decisions. Been there, done tha...

Re: Any Stories?

Looking at the results from afar, the fastest snowmobile would have decimated C-Mod, and trophied in A-Mod and B-Mod. Don't know what days/heats/courses each ran, or if weather was a factor..... Oh stop your class comparison whining Arthur :lol: , you're going to C MOD next year and you'll never, e...

Re: Rewrite of Solo Vee Rules

Anyway, after finding some pics of that winning car last year, I can honestly say that the nose did not seem to solve the push in the car and the diffser has to be totally inefficient. Seems to me that those guys may have st used those attempts at arrow to disguise a monster motor. Well......it's a...

Re: Rewrite of Solo Vee Rules

I have been told, a top running 493, 494, or 593 Rotax powered F500 jetted properly puts out about 102-105 HP at the crank. However, if the CVT clutches are not tuned properly, things can vary HP delivered to the wheels quite a bit and those crank figures may not translate to a real world accurate g...

Seriously Johnny, I would think that that winning car would have come under intense scrutiny but I wasn't there so I have no idea if it did or didn't. Those brothers are not new to F Mod, just that car. On other forums, they are trying to direct attention to their diffuser and their sports car nose ...

Re: Rewrite of Solo Vee Rules

Of course, you can always run A Mod if that is your choice. After all, that class isn't governed by the GCR as you stated . Of course, don't let me stop you from going to A-Mod. That's where my next cone-killer will be running..... I would like one, or both of you, to explain to me how me pointing ...

Re: Rewrite of Solo Vee Rules

My solution? Give the 500's a weight penalty. Easy, cheap, and will aggravate the snow blowers, which is what we like to do anyway, isn't it? We've been through this many times before. You can't add more weight to a 500 because the chassis' simply can't take it. There is no suspension to speak of t...

Re: Vee Roll Call

The SEB that denied you a separate class a few years ago is just about gone. New guys sit on that board now. With only a few of your numbers attending this year's National, it doesn't show much for a future class. However, that doesn't necessarily mean that you shouldn't try. I would gather your for...

Re: Congratulations--Scott

You would hope that the official results would be updated to reflect the actual car driven in order to preserve historical data. They are so worried about having the correct sponser stickers on the car to the point of taking pictures you would think that this would have been fixed prior to any resu...

Re: Anyone taking a FV to Deland FL this weekend?

At the present time there are no Vees pre-registered for Deland this weekend. Based upon history, I doubt there will be any there.

On the west coast, we do have a Solo Vee that runs occasionally at Brooksville and he is on this forum, so he should see your post and perhaps reply.

I don't follow the racing side of things, but are they gong a different path than the FST group did when they forked off of Formula Vee????? The answer is dependent on whom you ask. I feel that "they" are attempting to change the culture of the F5 class and that this is only the beginning...
