I have built a couple of the lifts that use a 12v wench. Firstone built raised car 18" not enough. talked to Fred Clark, he told me the saft limit was 36" so I built my second one to raise the car 33" my dad just bought a new (to us) caracal that came with a lower lift. unsure of high...

problem was not in trans, well it was due to loose flywheel, three races on rebuild, engine builder has it again, new crank and flywheel coming. flywheel wobble caused pilot shaft seal to leak. builder to remain unnamed on here.

Ed, the Vee world is going to miss you!

Fred told me first weekend in Apr. 2013 when I saw him at Roebling this past Apr.

as I see it he is counter steering, so not really the outside wheel. could have been a big bump to put him in that situation, my thoughts.

my concern would be stopping it, wireing a brake controller in a vanagon would be interesting, but I'm sure it can be done. my brother towed many a motorcycles behind a 84 westy, stock motor, with the upgraded one, should be no problem, easy on hills

my local airport loves selling me gas, they put "airboat" down, guess they sell alot for that. so no worries here. saw a place in Al. selling 110 leaded in 5 gal cans? thought that was strange.

he was thinking about running that race but doesn't feel like changing boxes. I would only need it at daytona, but don't really like the track, so I gave it to dad

matt, talk to my dad, he has my long box, and might be willing to work with you on this, and yes for that track you need a long box.

an air tank or small compresser, to add air to tires. glass cleaner, visor after each session, rain suit of some kind, if you not ready for it it will rain. In my 3 day school, I used 15 gal. of gas on top of full cell at the start, filled car, brought 10 of av. gas had to buy 5 gal of track gas. Ro...

in a standard vw motor synth oil will leak like crazy. alum case, steel drain plate. two differant metals expanding at differant rates, causes leakes. on my first vee I swapped the steel drain plate for a al. one to go with the sump ext. no more leaks. something to think about and look to see what y...

the one that came with my car is about 5" it is really small, has a real deep dish to it too. I could not steer the car with that small wheel( I drive one handed due to stroke) I'll get photos of it, would sell it.

for Ed, and others I got a tip from some scuba pros, put one of those "silica gel" packs in the houseing, to absorb any morsture, they seem to come in everything you buy, I have been saving mine so I have replacements. tip gor the gopro, put the sound on low. in the housing it sounds about...

I have the standard, wide angle go pro. works great on the vee, I take it scuba diving too, good to 100' it eats batteries, I use lith. batteries, but only good for 1 session. the HD was not out when I got mine, would have went that way, the wide angle is great mounted on roll bar, diving not so gre...

I was talking about a real scuba tank, I dive too, I have an extra first stage reg, the part that hooks to the tank, with air hose, and quick disconnect for air tools. I get them filled, (have 2) at my local dive shop, about $5 each. the tanks get used for diving more than racing. the down side is y...

I have a small cheap generator, don't use it much, for air, I bring a scuba tank with me. 80 cubic feet at 3,000 psi, I have never run out of air, will run air tools too.

I have one in florida, could be a nice winter vacation, to look at the car
THOR

look around for a local VW show, the 4x15 wheelis not a favorite with the car show people, so they sell them cheap not knowing we need them.
THOR

looking good,
see you at the track.
THOR

A TT is your best bet. if you plan on doing the double school at RRR then you can learn the track, Mark and I did the same school.
