Fox nitrogen front shocks
I have a pair of older aluminum front Fox shocks for sale. They are the type with separate canisters. I had to take one apart to straighten a bent shaft and so it needs to be re-filled, but the other one has never been apart and seems to work fine. I didn't mess with any of the internals on the one ...

Thanks for all the excellent advice everyone. I won't be schlepping my tires and wheels to Maggies Farm no more.

Re: Bent Wheels
Steve,
If as a rule you don't balance the tire/wheel combination, do you go thru a speed transition when you get a vibration, as is the case with most passenger cars? If I can get away without balancing costs it would save me much dollars & even more hassle...

Re: Bent Wheels
Thanks for the input Steve. I bought five wheels from a junk yard in AZ only to find when I went to have them balanced that three of them were wobbling on the balancing machine. They didn't appear to be bent on casual observation and they had virtually no rust. The guy that tried to balance them tol...

Bent Wheels
Is there any way to straighten OEM wheels simply or does this require sending them out to a specialist? If they need to be farmed-out does anyone know a facility fairly close to NW PA?

Re: 1st Waterford Hills Race-May 7-8

I am hoping to make the regional at Grattan 7/23-24 and the race at Waterford the previous weekend might be a good fit. Any details would be appreciat...

Re: Grattan and Blackhawk Farms Vee Fields
Thanks to all who responded to my post. I may do Grattan, but probably won't get over to Blackhawk if I do. I didn't realize it was so far from Grattan.

I am considering trekking out to the midwest this year to run Grattan & Blackhawk Farms - specifically the July 23-24 date @ Grattan and the following weekend @ B.F. Can someone advise me, from past experience, what size Vee field can reasonably be expected for those weekends? Both are double re...

I am currently in Arizona and am interested in buying some 4" VW wheels from a junk yard here, but want to make sure they're correct. I know they should be stamped "4J" & have the VW logo, but am not sure of the actual dimensions of the wheel. I am looking for the dimension across...

I am thinking of purchasing a Gopro camera for my Vee and was looking for input on the different choices. I'm considering the SD Hero 170 versus the HD Hero 960. The 170 is $80 cheaper, is standard def. and uses aaa batteries, while the HD Hero 960 offers high def and a cartridge style lithium batte...

Re: D-13 Body Mold
This has turned into an interesting thread. My basic line of thought is what extremes professional teams that are dealing with high H P cars will go to to eliminate relatively small amounts of weight to gain an advantage. I think of lifting a 25 lb. sack of anything and carrying it around and that i...

Re: D-13 Body Mold
Mark, Thanks for the info on Dave K. I am currently 25 lbs over, but according to a very good source, for every 10 lbs extra you're carrying around, you're losing 1 HP. I know it's a lot of trouble to go through for a few lbs., but every little bit of advantage adds up, especially in Vee racing (and...

Re: New ARRC format for 2010
My computer can't read the info on the SEDIV site. I was under the impression that the ARRC was just for fendered cars. How do you qualify to attend and has there been a good Vee tunout in the past? Also, when is the date?
