Thanks for the advice Steve and FV22.

I just wanted to give a tip of the hat to photographer “Roz” Rosintoski for allowing the use of one of his images for our 2013 Autumn Challenge Cup Series car stickers. A real enthusiast, a good guy to deal with and as a bonus he takes great racing photos! If you receive any of his proofs in the mai...

Mark,
Thanks for the info, I will probably get the 32gb.

How advisable would it be to run a 50/50 mixture of regular unleaded pump fuel with avgas? I have heard that our engines actually produce a bit more power with regular unleaded, but I have been running avgas because of potential problems with the fuel cell because of the additives in modern fuels. A...

I just purchased an Emerson HD Action video camera(EVC 355) and was wondering if I could get some advice as to what size micro sd card(s) I would need for a weekend's racing. From what I can find out on line I need a class 5 card, but not sure of the GB's that would be required. Any advice would be ...

Just wanted to update everyone on developments surrounding the Golden Harvest (Nelson Ledges 9/28,29) and the Last Chance (Watkins Glen (Oct. 5/6). At the Golden Harvest we are planning on paddocking by the trees over by turn 1 and will have Autumn Challenge Cup Series T-shirts and stickers availabl...

Just wanted everyone to know that after the Vee race Saturday at the Fun One we are planning an informal get-together at the Autumn Challenge Cup tent (look for the banner) for all Vee competitors and friends. We will have available free Autumn Challenge Cup Series T-shirts for all Vee entrants( cou...

Dennis,
Thanks for understanding about our decision. We are trying to balance the fun factor but still have a meaningful championship and this was how we decided to go about it.
Look forward to seeing you at the Fun One and to some more good wheel-to-wheel stuff.
Greg

After reviewing the entries for the first two races of the Autumn Challenge Cup Series a decision has been reached to change the series from a three-tiered format (National, Regional and Rookie licenses) to a straight-up championship. Season championship trophies will now be awarded for 1st, 2nd and...

We are excited to announce that there has been a major development concerning the Vee Autumn Challenge Cup Series schedule. Series principal Ray Carmody, working with the organizers of the Last Chance (Watkins Glen International - Oct.5/6), has negotiated to turn this traditionally one day only Regi...

Just a heads up to all entrants thinking about doing the Golden Harvest race of the Vee Autumn Challenge Cup series(Sept 28/29); the race chair has informed me that we must have the minimum of 15 cars registered two weeks before the race date to have our own group. Even if we eventually end up getti...

Apologies to all who tried to access the site. I have corrected the url setting so you can click on it to get to the page.
Computer literacy is not my strong point!

The rules and regulations for the 2013 Vee Challenge Cup Series have been posted at: http://www.formulaveeracing.org/fvchallenge . We have tried to keep things as simple and hassle-free as possible, but we do have to have some structure to things, hence these guidelines. If you are interested in com...

There have been many positive developments revolving around the upcoming Vee Autumn Challenge Cup Series and we wanted to share them with potential entrants. 1. For both the “Golden Harvest” event (Sept. 28/29) and the “Quad” (Oct.19/20) at Nelson Ledges, we have negotiated with the event chairmen o...

Steve,
Thanks for letting me know how it works. I hope to get the flyer link done today.

Steve, In my defense, because there is a "Manage Attachments" window below the message box, I miskatenly assumed it was possible to attach the pdf file. I spent a lot of time, contacted various Interchange team members for advice to get it to work before finally giving up. I'll try to get ...

This fall there will be a new option for Formula Vee competitors – The “Vee Autumn Challenge Cup” series. This group of races is a grass-roots effort to try to encourage increased participation in the PA/NY and Ohio area, but competitors from any region of the country – and Canada, are welcome to ra...

There has been some casual discussion on ApexSpeed and the Interchange on ways to increase Vee participation in the PA/NY/OH area. Here is a concrete proposal: A four weekend, F-Vee dedicated series comprised of seven races at the end of the year that would be short enough to be easier financially t...

Congrats Steve, and thanks for all the advice and input in your support of your fellow Vee racer's (and Vee racing) over the years.

I appreciate everyone's responses to my problem. I have decided to look into the motor mount engineering before I do anything else and change the linkage only as a last resort- and use the CM tubing if I follow that route. Maybe the best solution is that I should just avoid racing at Nelson, as I do...

Greg, I have the stock D-13 linkage which is fairly stout, but also heavy. My theory is quick deceleration combined with the bump in the track,plus the weight of the linkage is too much for the detent ball in the tranny and the result is that it pops out of fourth. The car has been doing this at Nel...

My current plan of attack is to change the front spring, increase ride height slightly and modify my shift linkage by replacing the steel sections with aluminum tubing to lessen the inertia forces from the weight of the stock linkage.

My jumping out of gear problem was really screwing up 12, so I just started holding the shift lever in 4th while approaching the turn and this obviously stopped the problem. The front mounts are tight and Mark, I have recently installed a dead pedal, but haven't yet gotten used to it "being the...

Dietmar - I will try to contact you shortly. Thanks for your response lucky 13 - to add to the difficulty, it's also knocking me out of 4th gear and that definately is complicating things there. I apreciate both your responses to my problem.

Going into 12 at Nelson, if I get on the brakes hard, my D-13 front end bottoms out. Does everyone have this problem at 12 because of the dip/track surface change, or do I need a new front spring? The spring in the beam is old, genuine VW, but even German steel will fatigue over time and I'm guessin...
