I don't think anyone would consider running a Vee in A Mod but if that were your choice ........ :lol: 2006 PSCC A-Mod Season Champion, in my Vee. :lol: ===> Attendance trophy aside, the problem with Formula cars in A-Mod is that they always seem to be bigger/heavier than the purpose-built Specials...

Now there is a good idea. Blow through turbo (200+hp) and wings = AM :lol: I like that. ...and you'll *still* be cursing snowmobile-powered competitors at the end of the day! :lol: Several years ago, I was at a Solo event where Formula Junior had FTD. Narrow width and miniscule weight mean just as ...

vreihen, what would those parity allowances be? Equal power-to-weight between the Vee and FF? Leave the open wheels/tires on the Vee to make up for the swing axle and beam? I'm not on my regular computer to access the rulebook, but the only way that I see the Vee getting parity in Mod is to class i...

I think the 600s would fit well with us. What do you all think? Just a wild thought. My $0.02 is that we should use the words "automobile-derived drivetrain" to compare apples to apples. In terms of weight and size, a Solo Vee is closer to a Formula Ford than it ever will be to a F-500, a...

We have a guy locally who bought one of those specifically to haul his Vee! It is a restoration project for him, so he hasn't actually had the Vee loaded up on it yet.....

And the 2 pieces of paper cards we have now are stupid. You get a $4 pic taken every year and laminated them to make a nice card and by the time you do that the year is up in hence the reason why not many people udate there pic. About 12 years ago, I was at an event and the registration person aske...

Am I reading this correct? So the $10 is for what? Releives me of signing the form "at some tracks" ? The $10 is for the card. Printing your annual waiver note on it is free. :roll: The card itself is probably best suited for race officials and other volunteer event staff, since it hangs ...

As I said, your approach should be inventive. :idea: Do you mean something like putting street tires on Solo Vees and trying for a new STV class??? :roll: My idea of indexing F-Mod based on the formula under which a car was built went over like a lead balloon when I proposed it last year, and bring...

Maybe I mis-read your summary, but I assumed that you were asking for a paddle shifter allowance. If so, the nosecone end of that kit is hiding the mechanical key to making the VW gearbox shift sequentially. I wouldn't use it hydraulically, but rather as the template for how to build an electro-mech...

"Only" $1,495.....

I was at a local autox event on Sunday, and exactly 50% of the drivers were in Solo Vees. (I was driving stock class and my Vee stayed at home, or it could have been over 50%!) I should mention that only 6 drivers showed up for the event, but even so having three Vee drivers in one local autox these...

I had to cut a whole bunch of 5oz Kevlar a few years ago, and bought the special scissors. They weren't anywhere near $70, though. When I got the Kevlar material in my hands, I tried cutting it with a pair of small telephone lineman's scissors that bounce around the top drawer of my toolbox, and I'l...

I have a stupid question about your FV. Are you sure that it is a 1976 Bobsy FV? I was under the impression that Bobsy only made FV's from 1964-1966 (Vanguard), and a few (20?) Vega FV's in 1967. Just curious.....

My own take on the problem is that the Solo Vee community lost a great deal of its talent pool of drivers and car setup people in the two years leading up to the Solo Vee rule changes. Between that and the economy tanking, it seems that people with the know-how to build a car to the limits of the ne...

You can order online! LOVE THEM!

You might want to mention to your client that those of us who do not use Windows computers with Microsoft Silverlight installed are completely shut out of their online ordering web site.....

I've seen frozen ones at a few groceries...anybody ever try these? Any good? They have all of the same ingredients, but the taste difference (the White Castle magic?) is worth a 50-mile road trip to me anyway. I think that the little cardboard box they serve the burgers in at the restaurants might ...

Darn you! The nearest White Castle is 50 miles from me, and you just gave me The Crave (TM).....

You didn't get the memo yet??? Some guy who used to be an active region member. I can't remember his name, but he used to drive a black QRE Shadow with car number 666 on it.....

Okay.. What? Is everyone going to avoid me like the plauge? If they are, I certainly didn't get the memo! :lol: My Vee engine is still sitting with the top end disassembled, and I can't find the motivation to put it back together when we haven't had a mod-car-friendly site in my home region for 5 y...

Is the roll bar brace attachment method going to pass tech?????

Some autocross clubs have gas-powered compressors available for everyone's use. With the building/construction industry being in the crapper in many parts of the country, it may pay off to keep an eye on Craigslist or eBay to see if one pops up at a bargain price.....

Sad news whenever a track closes. This one strikes a personal chord, because we raced there in the 1997 One Lap of America and they were still paving it when we arrived. Our makeshift circuit that day included the pit road, and I remember laughing about NASCAR speeding penalties as the cars whizzed ...

Unless I missed something, dual carbs are not legal in F-Mod on a 1915, only a 1600. Other than that, it sounds like a good option for someone looking to test the 1915 Solo Vee spec option.....

The only way that a dry sump is currently legal in F-Mod is on a true FST car. You can't run the Solo Vee wheels/tires, engine specs, or anything that isn't 100% FST-legal, because you cannot swap allowances between the two different types of cars in F-Mod. If you could, I'd have a Rotax snowmobile ...

I don't think that you can mix and match the rules like that, but I haven't read the book recently to know whether FST and Solo Vee are two different items under F-Mod.....
