If that's the case, why wasn't it written, "allow the use of unleaded pump fuel"?

Would that type of set up (built into the car) be illegal for the class? Hmm, that's a good question. Built in fans are allowed, so I would assume that built in head misting is too. The big issue would be safety. Having unexpected water spilling right in front of the rear tires would be bad. Look i...

Yes, R25As. Here in the DC region, the temperature is usually in the 90s in the summer. With the sun beating down, the tires seem to get hotter on the grid than right after a run. I don't have a pyrometer, but my calibrated hand confirms it. ;) Plus, we do about 1000 runs in a day, so there's lots o...

I've been using a spray mister on my heads since I melted them and had to get new ones two years ago. Still runs great.
And since I had the water, this past summer I started spraying my tires on hot days when they seemed to get greasy. That really helps.

Back in the early 70s I had a one off called Haley's Comet that handled so well I could run on other drivers take off tires and beat them the next day with a home built engine. Hey, that's my car now! Of course, there's been lots of changes to the frame and body, and it's a solo car now. ( See my a...

It "looks" complete, located on West Coast?

That link says it's sold.

Is it easier to see the gauges on the floor as opposed to the standard dash position?

Kevin, Do you want just road racing videos, or are you going to include solo vees as well? Solo in general is doing very well and doesn't need any more advertising. Solo Vee was going downhill but this coming year the rules have changed to include FST legal cars and increase HP to try and compete wi...

I don't think a DVD needs to be professionally done to have a big impact. Youtube is a great way to market things. A number of times, I have searched "formula vee" on Youtube and then spent hours watching all the good racing. If anyone has video, just upload it and add lots of tags (racing...
