Re: Looking for vintage vee to restore.

Be careful to buy a car that is vintage elegible. I know a 1979 zink is not momoposto legal but check with CVAR about what is legal with them. This car may be earlier than 1979 as the model and date of manufactuer is often confused on older cars. zink did not number his cars very well.

Re: Latest Fastrac

Buy 10 Beams and measure the horn. They are all a little different. One of them will give you more clearance.

Re: Latest Fastrac

As far as I know there is no spec for the angle of the stops so if they are in the way simply heat and bend them out of the way. This hasn't been an issue for 44 years so why bother with it now?

Re: Latest Fastrac

Even if this change goes thriough in scca I assume your 1964 AD is going to vintage. If you are preparing by the momoposto rules they are based on a 1969 gcr so you will still need to keep the horns.

This is acutally the 45th Birthday race as FV started in 1963. There have been Birthday party races every five years since the 20th. This would be the first one to include Super Vee. I hope there are enough cars and drivers so you can have your own race group.
