Re: Rear Axle Nuts
Jim, Thanks for the insight. Do you know how accurate the torquemeister is? I know it's just ratios, but have you compared using it and then checking the torque with your torque wrench to see if there is any binding or friction that we might need to take into account? John John I had 1 come loose w...

Re: 50th and Tires
That sounds promising "Hoosier is out of tires" hope wont turn into a Carbotech or Goodyear deal But they are an event sponsor and paying for the test day. Best to save criticism for atleast another week :lol: It is time to celebrate the past, and put reality aside for a few days. 8) They...

Re: solo vee
does not look like a allumiun beam to me it just looks like a aftermarket beam which is not legal for scca either with those shock towers. I bet it's a 2" extended beam which are sold for all the buggie guys. It could make a good hillclimb car with a 200hp scat motor $3500 is steep

Re: Brake thought for the month
Yeah, call me lazy but I'd rather bolt the discs, buy $20 dollar pads and be done with it for a couple years. I can nut and bolt like the best of them, I don't need to take my brakes apart as an excuse to put a wrench on a bolt. I know I'm in the minority that loves to race, but doesn't care much f...

Re: Brake thought for the month
I agree with Mark. Adjustment on 4 wheels takes 15 minutes tops.With a good brake system including leverage that will lock the wheels at will,the limitation is tire grip not drum brakes. In trying to help those with weak brakes,more often than not the pushrod lengths,bias bar,over-center pedal or a...

What's really enticing is having someone try to turn the most innocuous post into an opportunity to flame about something. No wonder many folks would not dream of posting anything here.

Re: November minutes
Well said Andy! If a ball joint beam is allowed with disc brakes I would have 2 choices 1. Stop running a FV 2. Just convert to FST because I'm forced to do part of a conversion now I think it makes no sense to do 1 part of the equation and I am still not sure how big the brake problem is in FV to j...

I find myself divided on this subject. I want the innovation/evolution, since this is not a spec class and I'd like to think that some day I will have the time to apply some of my own ideas.

Re: Long box drum to drum
I really don't want to store this in my garage this winter. I would sell just the center section if anyone interested and I would also entertain offers I do not need it and it's going to sit.
