Boy Jeff, we'd really like to get you on track in 2015. I'll rack my brain to see if I can think of someone who might rent you a car in the Northeast. Do you have any garage space available to purchase a car?

I agree with Michael and John on the slanted survey outcome. As a result I chose NOT to post a response. Having raced FV for 30+ years these rants have been seen before and my question remains why. Percentage wise I don't think the tire equation and its relative cost has changed much in all the yea...

Re: Cheap Date, Sept. 11,12

Probably because there are still 4 weeks to go until the event. I wouldn't worry too much about being the only one entered. Judging by the June and July events at NHMS, we should have a good turnout (I would expect 20 cars to show). See you there!

Re: carb float

Jim
Out of curiosity, when is the fuel level in the bowl too low? In your book, I believe you had recommended the level should be between 9/16 and 3/4. Is this too low? At what level will you suffer from fuel starvation? What size needle valve do you recommend (1.5, 2.0)?
Thanks

Re: FV...The most popular open wheel class in SCCA!!

How about Pre-registered runoffs entries. Second most entries overall, 2 less than SRF, and 5 more than SM. I think we should all be proud of our class participation at the runoffs. I know I am.
