Remember...If you buy a used transponder you will have to pay AMB a $50 fee to activate it under your user ID.

Great idea! How are you getting the top(red) VEE into position up that ramp?

Anyone check out the above fees lately? If you are 60 or older, you have to have a physical every year. For those of us retired but not yet on Medicare, we will most likely be paying for the physical in full(haven't reached our deductible). So several hundred bucks out of pocket to start. $75 for th...

or, to quote Rodney King "can't we all just get along!"

I bought the Predator kit just listed on Jim's for sale list and wonder who would be a good source(S) for a front beam. I see beams advertised in the HOT VW magazine but they are all different widths and materials. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Bruce

Eugene, Eugene, Eugene .... You just don't get it. If we do not allow people to push the envelope and go into the "gray" areas of rule interpretatation, racers would be able to use the same parts for years and decades without spending money to upgrade their parts. The only reason to repla...

I bought this car in Dec 2008. Ad is still here but the car is not!

Come on guys, I am putting this car together for Steven and I need some pic's so I don't take to much time trying to figure it out. Ed Ed..the ad for the P3a I bought are still here under classifieds. It is brand new from a kit and you can look at the pictures of the exhaust(mid december last posti...

Very well said! It's the same now just for Regional racers to compete. Tire cost is still the same based on usage. engine rebuild cost is pretty similar....but it's every other expense that is killing us,as well. Fuels costs for trailering to the track this spring are bound to go up, fee's to the SC...

Thanks for that info. What about keeping a spare charged to swap at the track and then recharge the other "spare"? Certainly possible. But swapping batteries back and forth in the Vee might be a pain. You might want to look at the small 12V to 110V inverters available now at cheap prices....

spair battery is a good idea, the "jump" battery I speak of is a backup for the car. so can be swaped out if need be. yes the water proof battery tender is worth it, can be totally under water and still work. great for rainy days at the track. I will only buy the water proof ones. plan on...

Jim....i have a 2 stroke 1200 watt generator so I can charge off of it, although I like your idea of the inverter. Do you carry them?

Thanks,

Bruce

I use/have the waterproof battery tender, I plug in when I come off the track, or when ever I can. with the battery tender you can leave it pluged in for long amounts of time. I also have a "jump" battery, I plug in with a quick connect for the extra boost strating when cold. sometimes I'...

Thanks guys...Jim, I just purchased the JR and the larger battery tender from you and am about to charge up a spare battery for my new(used LYNX?/Flamingo/Genesis/who knows/who cares/been thru a million tech inspections and has the original Homologation certificate. blah,blah......

When should I be charging my battery before practice and/or griding before the race?
I must only have a limited number of starts available from the battery and must time that to coinside that with not overheating while waiting to race.

Thanks for your help!

EMPI has two different finned slimline sumps; one is 1.5 quarts (probably the one Jim is referring to) and the other is 3.5 quarts and about twice the size. :shock: http://www.empius.com/2009_catalog/empi2009_pg41.html Matt....Here's the URL for the sumps you mentioned. Does the smaller one meet th...

Thanks for your help. I'll post some pics. Look exactly like a LYNX to me, Has 4 log books,raced a ton and gone thru a zillion tech inspections with no problems. I'm just curious about the Homologation certificate. Fred from Caracal was sent pictures by the former owner(who never looked at the certi...

I'm still interested in yours if I get my spec miata sold. It's in Troy, NY in heated storage, was the 2007 Ne Enduro champ and needs nothing to race(ready to go) with not a mark on it, if anybody is interested. $9900(what I paid for it) OBO. 2008 tech inspection and all log books.

Anyone have any info on LYNZ VEE's after 1970(ie early mid 80's) such as where were they made, does anyone have any molds? My Logbook describes a LYNX III but I can't find any info?

Thanks,

Bruce

Bruce: Only problem is finding these "gearheads". They don't frequent the same places as us OLD GUYS ! But the idea is a start. Dietmar You are right, Dietmar but I will try any ploy necessary. I'm planning on trailering my VEE to the local hot rod cruise nights in Southern VT and see if ...

I purchased an 87 Lynx that has logbooks back to day one. Has had tech inspections as late as fall 2007. Nice regional car. THe Homologation papers(with the official gold seal!) list the car as a Genesis chassis.

Anyone have any idea about the description on the papers.

Thanks

Dietmar..How about each of us"old men" try to take at least one teenage "gearhead" with us to a regional race, let them work as our pit crew and spectate. It's like going to a 1/2 day intro to racing by Skip Barber. Most of us are hooked by the event if we weren't before! Best R...

Are you running this Vee in Solo 1? I see the twin carbs in the picture. Do you even need a logbook for Solo 1?
