Does anyone have a current model Citation tail section that is very used or damaged?

I want to play with one but don't want to cut up the one on my car.

Thanks

Not to go off topic, but for those who are viewing this issue with concern about the class, check over at ApexSpeed. The FF guys are debating new wheels at maybe $2400 a SET! Even though there are times I wish it wasn't, the SCCA is a member driven club. Make your opinion known to the Comp Board and...

I have to admit that I don’t think the fees are too burdensome at this point. I am still closer to 50 than 60 (although getting closer every year) and get a physical each year anyway, which is covered under my companies insurance. The fee for a expedited application is stiff, but since mine is up in...

Enlarging the shoulders beyond stock...must remain stock 1) Fact: we do not know what stock is! VW does not provide a dimension. How does Tech measure something labeled "stock"? 2) By virtue of the fact that the new rules DO NOT outlaw balling, etching, etc., then these procedures become ...

[quote="FV94"]To throw another "monkey wrench" into this discussion - What about some of the manifolds that have appeared recently in which the horizontal tube is clearly not horizontal - i.e. the intersection of the down tube and the cross tube has been modified so that the actu...

I have had this discussion in everything from slot cars to cub scout pinewood derby. When we discussed a spec tire in FV someone said we had to allow tire development in FV becuase he had to go faster. IN A FV? Get a FF if you want to ge faster. I will discuss the manifold question in another post, ...

[quote="Bill_Bonow"]OK, pile up your supply of rocks and get one in hand. I know this will get flamed, stoned and trample till the end of time, but....... A simple dry sump system will solve these very common FV oiling issues. My bet is that the general engine life (time between lower end ...

[quote="Matt King"]I need to install a better headrest in my new Citation XTC. Is affixing a high density foam pad to the firewall sufficient, or should there be some additional bracing added to the roll bar to mount it?[/quote] I fabricated a brace that went across the chassis, tying into...

[quote="kwillmorth79"] I just can't see trying to shoe-horn racing weekends, and diverting capital into it. I also need the garage space for other work projects. By the time all this stuff sorts itself out, I will have to start all over again to get back into the swing of it. [/quote] You ...

Kevin, Dow down under 10,000, record layoffs, etc. Good deal - bad timing. There are a lot of good deals out there. I should have been saving up to buy a fleet. :lol: If you have not made a move to buy a new car you might want to hang on to it for another year. It should still be competitive at NHMS...

Here are the numbers: http://cms.scca.com/documents/2008%20Runoffs/2008%20National%20Participation%20MASTER_FINAL.pdf SRF still maintains a lead I believe to strong dealer network and rental cars. SM is the FV for this decade. What has happened to SSC? Should be in the top 10! Note 6 of the top 11 c...

I will fill in some more details: I was in between Anthony Parker and Tony Leone when Anthony spun (a tony sandwich?) and I juuuusttt made it by, but Tony, being the 3rd car had less time to react. Note: I don't know if would have helped, but with the repaving and new course at Lime Rock, if someone...

does anyone know which track configuration we're running?.....The supps were vague......they only mentioned the "option" for practice We will be running the "classic" track with the optional track run as testing AFTER all the races have been run. Looks like they want to see what...

Brian, Sorry - I was speaking in the generic "you" of the regions and the track. This has been a tough year between the economy and Lime Rock. For the future, I see a lot of potential, but a lot of stress if we are going to have more tracks and the same number of racers - a problem we coul...

Okay guys and gals, Only four entries so far for this event. The regions that race at NJMP are trying to figure out what to do for next year. So far the lack of support for this new facility has been pretty surprising. The South Jersey Region put on a very good event in July and this one promises t...

The suit is a Crow 2 layer suit and I got it from WESCO on the West Coast - It is made of Proban. Weight is about 6 lbs. After wearing it, much of the weight is in the seat and in the collars around the feet. Lots of material that wraps around the shoes and it also has a strap that keeps it from rid...

Ooops! Sorry. Pos Name Fastest Lap 1 Roger 59.413 2 Jim K 59.817 3 Dan Sr 59.599 4 Dave 59.933 5 Eugene 59.327 6 Jeff 60.167 7 George 59.693 8 Russ 60.914 9 Dean 61.061 10 Chris 60.294 11 Allen 60.681 12 Dan Jr 60.34 13 Tim 60.869 I posted full results at my web site: http://pages.cthome.net/czracin...

Jeff hit most of the big points - tough to find the turn in point for West Bend, on the other hand there is lots more runoff room if a problem, like a FF spinning in from to me! Personally, I would not like to see No-Name straight changed. One of the best views in racing , is to stand at the botton ...

I recently bought my first driving suit in 15 years. I went from a single layer 3.2A/1 to a 3.2A/5 double layer suit. While the new suit looks like it will give much better protection, I was surprised about the increased weight. It was a inexpensive suit, so is the weight related to the cost or the ...

If they run the "Classic" track, a long box will be even more important as the track is smooth and faster than the last repaving (where some FV's were in the 59's!) If either of the alternate turns are used, then a shortbox becomes a necessity. Remember, the downhill and main straight are ...

Okay - back from the track - here is the first impressions: 1. There were lots of people there. When you figure there was only really 1 race (2 minor support races) and only 30 ALMS cars, then 20,000 + people came to watch 30 cars......... (of course having Marco there didn't hurt) 2. The track surf...

Sorry if this has already been posted: ChrisZ ============================= Dear Participants In an effort to help keep the cost of racing down given our high costs of operating at Lime Rock Park the NNJR board proposed the following sliding scale entry fee system. Our present entry fee is $450. As ...

The "classic" track is still there. There are some videos on youtube where one car does West Bend and one car the "new turn". BTW - for all those who wondered how much these new turns would slow the cars down, the P2 cars were doing 44.6 with the "chicane" last year. Th...

>>The varous SCCA regions are sensitive to car counts and with the cost of track rental<<

The NER Cheap Date weekend has been a great deal with a good turnout. MoHud tried a similar event last year and took a bath.

Timing is everything (no, not Timing and Scoring).

Kevin is right in that it is not just money. It takes a perfect storm of money, interest, people and tracks to make really large turnouts. FV has endured FF, Spec Racer, IT and now Spec Miata and continues to be one of the larger groups. Here is my turn to rant - in the 30+ years I have been around ...
