Tranny undertray

Due to some inserts being "uninserted" I have neglected to reinstall my tranny/engine undertray. My local tech inspector says this is illegal. After reading back over the GCR I can see his point. So after looking at a few vees I do see some without those trays (of course they have bellypan...

Re: Formula Vee 55th Anniversary in 2018

I raced in FV at the only SCCA race at NCM. Very nice facility but heard it was a expensive track to rent. The grand course was quite a number of corner stations to maintain (over 18 ish or more ?), that race used the bowl area which was interesting to drive but I just don't think it is necessary to...

Well I guess hars you'd just put on the most perfect event. You cannot judge how many cars will show up - I have been an event organizer before and there is ALWAYS someone with a keyboard that thinks they can do better.

Re: It's time for a new engine.

Congrats Lynn - I have had multiple failures the past year with Labor Day Barber event having the end of the rod break off #2 and bust thru the case flip and hammer #4 before I shut it off during pace lap. I have another dropped in a few weeks ago so I can be ready for the 50th.

Re: Front spring

My old D-13 started scrapping the front (with battery in the nose). I found out that it had snapped a part of the spring pack. A new spring pack and all was good. My D13 always sat low to the ground prob cause they were designed with tall treaded tires.

We are up to eight - just before today's cut-off. The keep moving the hurricane to the west so Sat is looking like a 40% chance of a storm (or what usually gets placed in the forecasts) Sun looks even better.

Brian - the day usually starts somewhat clear and your thunderstorm threat builds as more sun builds up the heat. The clouds will start to thicken and turn dark in the afternoon but still hit and miss. In the past the a/c'ed areas in the tower have several TV's on (since you are in College Football ...

Pretty mild group - there was one S2 at the Dbl SARRC at RA mid July. There was one other S2 a few years ago in SEDIV. FM is a good bunch and there are a few F6's that play nice. This is a good bunch to play with glad there are no FA's or FS's

My bad on the test day since I was thinking of the Double Regional time frame - National schedule will be different. Looks Like we are about to add a new driver to the mix since he got his license this past w/e at Sebring.

I have tried on a HAN's in my C - I think I'll try something else. The collar was getting hung up on the belts and while I'm sure If I was trying to get out in an emergency I just do not get a warm fuzzy. I'll be trying Safety Solutions Pro Rage next.
