Re: My letter about the FV spec intake
I joined the FV ranks last year, would love to make it to runoff's one day and be competitive. Between now and then some things will most likely have to change.

Need a winter checklist
I am looking for a good winter checklist, my current one is just to check everything, but I am sure someone has one that is organized. Might prevent taking things apart twice?

Re: Summit Point Aug 22,23
We had another great weekend, a little too wet Sat. afternoon with the Qual. turning into a spin fest, though the older and wiser Doug M. went out and drove around the track (we all went out to race) and although he never passed a car on track he passed everyone! A true case of the slowest car winni...

Re: Summit Point Aug 22,23
Great news, Steve and Matt. I spent the last two days over at Pocono double Natinal crewing for a GT1 Camero until we took a rock through the radiator on lap 3, and of course we can't fix it by tomorrow. I'll spend tomorrow on my car, the trans change project just keeps getting bigger, so I'll have ...

Re: Axle or Drum Leak?
You should be good now Steve, unless you let Matt modify your header. I had the same problem early this year and the seal kit I got from Dietmar fixed it right up. I'm putting new ones in the trans I am installing now just to be sure.

It's very cost effictive if you need to sort out your car as well @ $2/mile and 4-5 on track sessions per day. Hope to see you ...

Re: Oil Sump Rule Change
An accumulator system only needs a few seconds of oil to protect the engine in the turns, 4 quarts (extra) is way too much.

Re: Oil Sump Rule Change
Why not use an accumulator? like accusump, it will maintain positive oil pressure and we don't have to worry about the other guy having another 1 HP. Correctly built engines don't need a dry sump and synthetic oil works fine at the higher temp.
