I will be back to Summit next year. That is one of the best group of racers, Vee or other class. that I have ever seen. I can't miss that! Even though I am the slowest vee out there, I'm still having fun!
Oh and Steve thanks for the r45s that I want to grove. Tell Eric I said Hi.

tire grooving

I am trying to find someone, hopefully in SW FL that can groove some slicks into inter. for me. I have 2 sets of R45 hoosiers that I want to groove. I would do it myself, but I am slightly disabiled, no use of left arm. so I think trying to do it would be very hard. Thanks for any help or info. THOR

Re: Trailer Question?

I have a 6x14 side to side is a little tight, but length is fine, could go 12' long if you don't plan on carrying much in the trailer but the car. I also have a 8x18 that I might be able to get 2 vees into.
hope this helps. I would say 6x12 would be the smallest.

Re: Fitting in a car

so what you are saying Hughie, is we need to bring the scales to the hillclimbs to make sure you make weight, or feed you a few extrea gunniess to add weight, and slow the brain. Like I said the Womer is a car for bigger guys, and they do well when set up right. One won the big race at the BD party....

Re: Max RPM on straight

I saw 6500 at roebling road drafting a SRF running a short box. you will go as fast as your car will go there. it is a good time
I was pulling 6300 no draft, and big thanks to Dave Carr at Autowerks for the motor. Roebling is a fast track.
