It won't happen in fact I bet they will cost more next year because there is no other tire to purchase now.

Re: 50th Vee Birthday Race

I would think that to have a 50th in 1 corner of the country is not the most desirable location and wont happen for many west coast people.

Re: 50th Vee Birthday Race

Fred Clark would need to confirm it, but I think it is just someone's imagination running wild. Fred told me a few weeks ago that the first weekend in April (5-7) is SET for the 50th FV anniversary event and it's at Roebling Road (near Savannah, GA). If rumors persist, someone (me?) could ask Fred ...

Re: More fun with squiggly lines

For just about the price of a set of tires you can have a basic system that can reveal a lot about the car as well as the driver. It's amazing stu...

Re: Spec Tires

Oh come on Mark. Let's compare engine budgets to F1 while we're at it. Tire manufacturers aren't idiots, neither are all of us. Spec tires are created or chosen depending on the class fundamentals and the objectives for having a spec tire. Its been pointed out that some of us are ignorant. I was no...
