Re: January meeting

At first glance, a spec manifold seems to be a no-brainer but the devil is in the details and these are the same details that have yet to be sorted with the VW manifolds. *If a new manufactured spec manifold were to happen, how could we be assured of minimal difference between units? *Wouldn't there...

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

How's that for a glowing selling point for FV? Can we make that subject line a sticky for all potential FV drivers to see? 2009 Regional Car Counts from the SCCA website show FV as the most popular open wheel class. http://www.scca.com/documents/Club_Events/2009%20Regional%20Car%20Counts%20%20master...

Re: July Meeting

SR Racing] It is a shame that the rules were never clarified or strict enough to prevent expensive manifolds. The only thing that's a shame is that the moderators of this board let this BS continue. Brian did what ANY intelligent person would have done if they had thought of it and had the skills. B...

Re: Lime Rock Regional 6/20/2009

Jeff, I put some of the qualifying footage up on youtube. I kept it to clips where there were other cars around so you all can see yourselves on the big screen.:) The race footage isn't up yet. It was so wet and slow that I keep falling asleep while editing......one of these days. http://www.youtube...

Re: Possible way to reach out to a younger audience

Most of the youth in FV are just pampered children of old time Vee racers. Some are more interested in using their fancy phone in the race car than in actually making the car faster. That's a bit negative isn't it? Should they be spending their money on fancy intake manifolds? I'll bet they just wa...

Re: http://formulavee.ning.com/

Anna, I think this is a neat idea and thank you for taking this on. This forum is good but maybe a little updating may assist in helping to attract more people to the class. Here is why I think it would be helpful. You have to imagine someone that wants to go racing. They are going to surf the web u...

Re: February Meeting

Is there a recommended Subject Line that we should use when we send our email to the CRB?

Like "Change FV section 9.1.1.C.5.D.20" or something to make it so the CRB won't glance over the email?

OK..I'll try Forecast for wet weather kept some folks from coming. First qualifying session was very wet...second session saw a drying line and the race the next day was dry for the most part.
