I have a pair of older aluminum front Fox shocks for sale. They are the type with separate canisters. I had to take one apart to straighten a bent shaft and so it needs to be re-filled, but the other one has never been apart and seems to work fine. I didn't mess with any of the internals on the one ...

Thanks for all the excellent advice everyone. I won't be schlepping my tires and wheels to Maggies Farm no more.

Steve,
If as a rule you don't balance the tire/wheel combination, do you go thru a speed transition when you get a vibration, as is the case with most passenger cars? If I can get away without balancing costs it would save me much dollars & even more hassle...

Thanks for the input Steve. I bought five wheels from a junk yard in AZ only to find when I went to have them balanced that three of them were wobbling on the balancing machine. They didn't appear to be bent on casual observation and they had virtually no rust. The guy that tried to balance them tol...

Is there any way to straighten OEM wheels simply or does this require sending them out to a specialist? If they need to be farmed-out does anyone know a facility fairly close to NW PA?

I'm assuming these races are open to anyone with a valid SCCA license? Not listed on the SCCA calender that I can find. What is the sanctioning body? I am hoping to make the regional at Grattan 7/23-24 and the race at Waterford the previous weekend might be a good fit. Any details would be appreciat...

Thanks to all who responded to my post. I may do Grattan, but probably won't get over to Blackhawk if I do. I didn't realize it was so far from Grattan.

I am considering trekking out to the midwest this year to run Grattan & Blackhawk Farms - specifically the July 23-24 date @ Grattan and the following weekend @ B.F. Can someone advise me, from past experience, what size Vee field can reasonably be expected for those weekends? Both are double re...

Guy, Do you have any Ackermann, quick steer spindles for sale?

Thanks much for the info Stevan & Veefan.

I am currently in Arizona and am interested in buying some 4" VW wheels from a junk yard here, but want to make sure they're correct. I know they should be stamped "4J" & have the VW logo, but am not sure of the actual dimensions of the wheel. I am looking for the dimension across...

Thanks to all who have responded to my inquiry. It's great to have so much experience to draw on. I'm leaning towards the HD Hero , but will explore the other recommended cameras also. Once again, I appreciate the input.

I am thinking of purchasing a Gopro camera for my Vee and was looking for input on the different choices. I'm considering the SD Hero 170 versus the HD Hero 960. The 170 is $80 cheaper, is standard def. and uses aaa batteries, while the HD Hero 960 offers high def and a cartridge style lithium batte...

I appreciate the input one and all. I'll weigh the advantages/disadvantages and decide. Thanks again.

I am thinking of eliminating the bump stops on the front beam of my D-13. Any downside to doing this?

This has turned into an interesting thread. My basic line of thought is what extremes professional teams that are dealing with high H P cars will go to to eliminate relatively small amounts of weight to gain an advantage. I think of lifting a 25 lb. sack of anything and carrying it around and that i...

Mark, Thanks for the info on Dave K. I am currently 25 lbs over, but according to a very good source, for every 10 lbs extra you're carrying around, you're losing 1 HP. I know it's a lot of trouble to go through for a few lbs., but every little bit of advantage adds up, especially in Vee racing (and...

I am thinking of trying to make a lighter body for my D-13 and was wondering if anyone might be able to direct me to someone who would have a main body mold for this car.

Thanks for the input Brian and Thor. Greg

I am looking for a screen for my carb's velo stack (3 1/2" O.D.). Can anyone direct me to a supplier? Thanks. Greg D.

Anybody out there have a used gear reduction starter suitable for a Vee they'd like to sell?

I am somewhat out of the loop here and am wondering whether standard unleaded pump gas is now legal, and if so, is it advisable to run it in our engines.

Greg,
Thanks for the info.

My computer can't read the info on the SEDIV site. I was under the impression that the ARRC was just for fendered cars. How do you qualify to attend and has there been a good Vee tunout in the past? Also, when is the date?

I have limited resources/time this year and am looking for suggestions on Regional events close to me (NW PA) where there is a good possibility of a decent Vee grid. I'm thinking about Summit Point because I have heard they have good fields, but was wondering if there was anybody else trying to orga...
