Better days ahead... the Citation has been SOLD pending payment of balance and delivery.

Turnkey Citation FV01 Formula Vee I really am sick to my stomach for doing this, but my 2010 racing plans are done, and 2011 isn't looking good, either. In all likeliness, I won't be racing anything anytime soon with the happenings of last month. The new business and the family comes first, and I n...

Pardon my computer illiteracy. I still can't get over not using whiteout on the screen. Could someone guide me through deleting old PM's from my mailbox. Click "User Control Panel" up in the top right corner of the page to access the location of the mailbox, or just click the link next to...

Doug, It's a Citation because I remember racing against Bryan Snyder at M-O in the late 90's after he converted it. I have an old photo of it somewhere and will try to locate it etc.. He was very fast in that car and he may have used "Chet the Jet" motors out of Detroit. Thanks! Mark Good...

Wonderful job. I love to see more FVs getting this kind of care and attention to detail. A+!

I just got off the phone with Lisa, and she explained a few things to me about the mandate. Foremost, she abstained because she wasn't comfortable with the wording of the rule as it was brought to the Board. She wanted more investigation by independent organizations as to what would be acceptable st...

Because a SIM gives an accurate representation of what any given track with be like with any given car. For some of us, track time is a premium that can't be bought. For me, I can put 1000 laps on Summit Point or Mid Ohio before ever turning a wheel on the track for real, and do repetitive practice ...

Does anyone know who developed this rFactor mod, and has a contact for them? This mod isn't available on any rFactor servers anywhere, and there is no information tied to it about who did it. I'd like to get a hold of them about getting a few things like skin templates and other details about this m...

My problem with the HANS is its cost. Anyone who does composites knows that $1000-1200 is way more than it needs to cost even with a nice profit. Yes I understand development cost but with all of the pro series mandating it many years ago, they should have long ago recouped those cost and the price...

It is a shame that the G Force system won't pass the SFI FIA test since it is effective in front end crashes. I have had one for years and like it. I had two frontall crashes this year without any effects. Also the forward braces on my chassis pretty much stop the helmet from moving to far sideways...

I have the Colts now.

If you have ever driven on IRP, that's not much of an option. Until the SCCA brings the RunOffs home to the MotoGP circuit at IMS, that's not much better than where I'm at.


Warmer is better.

I'm interested in the formula car turnouts in Arizona—mostly FVs. It looks like there are just as many FVs at Nationals in that region as most else around the country, including this area. My wife thinks I'm insane for looking to potential other areas of the country to live, and make decisions not o...

Thanks Dave, I was afraid of that in the Regionals. I had the National PDF, I should have remembered to look there. At least the Nationals aren't completely vacant of FVs.



Hmmm...

Anyone from the region, can you give me an idea of the FV counts at Regional and National level SoPac events? Consistent numbers?



Just wondering for my own personal reasons...

That's true, I was thinking of the HANS device. G-Force has one that looks better suited to a lay-down driving position. The G-Force "strap" is not SFI 38.1 or FIA certified and is not legal. That item will not fulfill the requirement of the new SCCA rule. Make sure it is certified before...

There are H&N restraints that do not take up the space of a HANS, like the Hutchens system. Just because a HANS won't fit in your car, all is not lost. The rule will NOT mandate a HANS, but any SFI or FIA certified device. Try different ones to get the proper fit. The rule is coming whether you ...

Interesting nose... wonder where the battery and fire bottle are relocated? What year Citation is this one? Doesn't look much like a Citation at all. With the front steer in a Citation, there is a LOT to relocate. Would be one helluva project.

It's something that we pay for in our License fees. Trying to tell us that they want to hold membership fees down by keep the GCR in electronic format is bunk. We already pay for it.

Yes, but what good is a CD or PDF while you go through tech? Is it not a requirement that the GCR is with you through tech every time?

Hehehe, and I go to order a pair, and they are all gone. LOL, figures.

Thanks for the insight, Steve. Very informative.

I was curious, anyone ever try these short rears on all 4 corners? They are technically wide fronts, I'm just wondering what the result was if they have been tried.

They were hard to find...

Steve, Joysticks, keyboards or mouse controls for SIM racing are a waste of time. You'll get frustrated more than anything, and your experience will be limited, at best. Average lap times for someone struggling around a track on a joystick controller is 10-14 seconds a lap off of the quick pace. Eve...
