Yep, most questions have been asked and answered here. I used the search engine and read for hours early on.

Many thanks to you guys for keeping it alive.

Just sent, I got way more value from this board and it's contributors than anything else I did when I started working on the car.

I used your link.

Thanks!

I'm betting it's an error in the response...

I'll do the same.

Thanks for bringing it up Jeremy.

Almost forgot about this. You should read and listen to Steve of course. One thing I remember I discovered later - I was using one of those bleeder devices with the check valve. Works pretty good. However, my report of a bit of air left in the front wheel cylinder was actually a problem with this. I...

I'm assuming you are asking about the rear regarding location, since they can be relocated while the fronts cannot. I'll guess that many locate the rear from the original upper position thinking it is more aerodynamic. I don't think it matters. The top position is the better one to properly bleed th...

Thanks for the update, John.

Good to know this hasn't gone away.

"Why does it matter what was said during the broadcast? "

It should matter to the SCCA that the broadcast be professional, not amateur hour. I make the assumption they make many mistakes in other classes as well.

Not really of interest to me, but I notice when a set comes up for sale, they disappear fast...

I am unable to find any rule requiring an undertray below the engine or transmission, only rules regulating the undertray if used.

I suppose it's not easy. I haven't done that of course. It does seem they could have a cheat sheet on each class to at least get the basic specs right. 1200 pound cars? Worn out motors? They were only off about 50% on the weight, and I suspect every motor out there in the top 20 or so was built for ...

I figured it was a broken drum as well, maybe from earlier contact. The drum was clearly still attached to the wheel.

Would that be the only time the announcers got something correct?

Congratulations to FV King, Michael Varacins on National Championship #6 2nd Place Whitson gave it a heck of try, seemingly had a problem in the latter part of the race that slowed him down a bit 3rd place, on the podium, Brian Farnham, great race and effort for Brian and dad Mark. Hard to believe a...

Alright, missed today, but congrats to Brian Farnham on his 2nd place starting position at the runoffs - quite an achievement. Congratulations to M. Varacins for another runoffs pole position 3. Chris Jennerjahn 4. Andrew Whitson 5. Denis Andrade Looks like a really good race shaping up with some di...

Q3, getting interesting:

Varacins still on pole with a new Qtime of 1:56.077

Following right behind are Chris Jennerjahn at 1:56.232

Then Andrew Whitson at 1:56.431

The top 5 times were all set today in Q3

I can't imagine a long box, seems maybe the 26 is better than the 22 3rd?

You would know as well as anyone

Brian, yes I agree, the hub is the issue. As near as I can tell, the one piece hubs that keep the track standard are both heavy and have possible strength issues. Every hub that is two piece and built to higher strength seems to have a track increase.

Steve, been out all day so just seeing your comments. I thought the way it was written was pretty interesting. And timely. I guess I'll hold off on purchasing new drums and high priced shoes until I see what this becomes.

Saw this tonight in the Oct minutes: "FV 1. #22456 (Formula/Sports Racing Committee) Disc Brakes in FV - Member Survey At the recommendation of the FV ad hoc committee, the CRB recommends the option of disc brakes in FV. Add the following: 9.1.1.4.D. Front and/or rear brake drums and backing pl...

Thanks Brian and John.

Hi John,

Any further development on the spec tire issue?

Thanks,
Barry

Your location?

Best of luck Kevin!
