Will vee drivers wake up before the class is totally dead? I thought being the 3rd highest class in terms of national participation and being perennially among the highest attended classes at the runoffs meant we were doing something right???? The days of 45 car fields may be a thing of the past, b...

I lost a main bearing on a test day over labor day at HPT. Not sure exactly what happened, but it had plenty of oil and the temps were fine when it happened. Needed a rebuild anyway..... Changing the engine in 105 degree heat was a real peach too. In fact, Brian, Derek helped me - remember. Tell you...

How was the meeting?

We have two options that will be available by the start of the season. Cars are located in the Pacific Northwest. 1- Nationally Competitive FV with the best of everything. 2 National Poles and 1 National win last year. Full Data Acquisition and Video Camera Equipment. (2006 ICSCC FV Class Champion C...

not an easy answer because there are so many variables but the conventional wisdom says 53 to 58 with rare quotes about 60 or more.

I have posted the footage from my in car camera for the entire race. Enjoy!

The problem with your dad passing down his speed is that you will never be as fast as him due to the speed inheritance tax. Much of the speed your dad worked hard to learn, pouring his blood sweat and tears into will now be taken by the redistribution system and given to those with inferior motors a...

Replace your battery. I replace mine every year, as they are cheap and seem to go bad quite easily. (Especially if you use a small one for weight like I do) I had a cell short out and it would not rev past 5 grand. It would rev up just fine, until it reached and then it sounded like it was running o...

I have posted the crash onto our website. It is on the Multimedia page.

The car has a bent front beam, broken steering arm, bent rear trailing arm, bent rear shock pushrod, dented valve cover, dented header, dented manifold, and some fiberglass damage. All in all, not too bad considering. I will have some video of the event shortly, once I get it converted to WMV format...

EFCN Trackside Live: Paddock Update - Wednesday Pre-Qualifying Saslow and his father have worked for the past three days getting the car back together and this will be an important run for him, as he needs to make it all happen right now. Just to clarify, Brian McCarthy worked countless hours to he...

I bought an odyssey from batterymart.com that works great.

I use the Odyssey PC310. A handful of other guys use it too. It works great. It is a little pricey at $159 but weighs about 5.9lbs and is relatively small. 5.5 X 3.5 X 4

They make a couple bigger ones if you prefer.

I am looking for the old original VW wheels. The lighter ones.

Boil some water and put your temp guage in it......

Dick Gordon in San Francisco set his up like this. Gives him a little extra room. Works great for him.

I am over that.

I would have to say, go with a Crusader. I know guys as tall as 6'5" that fit well. I also know that Ian Sweeney has a very competitive one that has done well at the runoffs.

I am hoping someone near the great state of Washington or Oregon has a fan shroud I can have/borrow. I am redesigning my rear body work and want to make sure I am legal. Let me know if you have one near and i will come pick it up.

If not, I will just make up a template to build around.

Thanks!

I would recommend draining all the gas from your cell and fuel system. Start with new gas. Clean the entire system - fuel filter, carb, etc. Also, make sure you don't have a leak in your induction system. Start the engine and play with the throttle to make it run. Spray some WD40 at the base of the ...

Go with the 5/8 cylinders.

How many clicks are you backed off on your brake adjusters?

Is the Formula Car Magazine Womer competing?

FYI - That was with a short box.

Also, (Quick plug for the engine builder) it was an engine built by SR Racing.

I saw 6700 in the draft at California. 6400 without the draft.

Actually, you do want wheel speed too. It is needed to assess what you are looking for as well. Plus, it shows you just what you gain in the draft (in front and behind) and it helps you know if you exited a turn before a straight better (speed at end of straight) Pulling higher G's through a corner ...

I purchased an AIM MyChron XG LOG from SR Racing about a year and a half ago. I really like the system for the price. I am logging Oil Temp, Oil Pressure, Cylinder Head Temp (CHT), Steering Position Sensor (SPS), Throttle Position Sensor (TPS). Wheel Speed, Lat G's and Long G's. I too, have never un...
