Re: Congratulations--Scott

You would hope that the official results would be updated to reflect the actual car driven in order to preserve historical data. They are so worried about having the correct sponser stickers on the car to the point of taking pictures you would think that this would have been fixed prior to any resul...

Where are all the Solo Vee Drivers

Just wondering where all the Solo Vee drivers are. Looking at the latest tour results it doesent seem that there have been many Solo Vee's. Is there another forum that I am not aware of. Many Vee drivers wonder why the 440's and 500's are getting faster.......I think it has to do with the fact that ...

WANTED: Ron Chuck Offset shockmount kit

Does anyone have a set of offset shock mounts that they want to part with....... Or does anyone have any other design ideas to fit a set of narrow body coil over shocks to a standard Link pin torsion tubes. This is for an older Formula Vee that is used for autocrossing.

Thank for the help.

Front Suspension Setups

Just wondering what suspension setups people are running on their Vee. I am having a bit of trouble this year with the front end droop and dragging under braking. It seems to be getting worse since last year. Currently I have a set of Carrera shocks unknown on valves (with 2.5" rubber mounts on...

Test Video

Below is a link to a test video of an Autocross at a Western New York Region Event. Th only place for the camera was on the front windscreen area of the car. I have a rool bar mount coming which should give a better perspective of the course. I think it adds to the video if you can see the steering ...

Re: Dual Carb Setup ??

Yeah..... Since I already have the carbs at this point I am going with this setup. We will see how things pan out and make a decision when it is time for a rebuild. I hope I am not the only one taking this route. I am looking for any advice anyone might have.

Re: Drum Brake Questions

So the smaller master cylinder has more braking force ??? Most people seem to go bigger ? Is it the interior of the cylinder that I need to measure to know what I am running now ?

Thanks

Hoosier Tire Pressures

I purchased a solo vee last year and ran a few events with it but for the life of me I can not remember what tire pressures I was running. For those that are running the hoosiers what pressures are you running front and rear.

Thanks
