When will the New Rules be released
When will the SCCA finalize the FB/F1000 Rules for the 2014 GCR? I see other classes specifically SR-1 & SR-2 have already been released in a preliminary form.
I am not picking on anyone
Thank you Jay,
I missed Appendix F in the GCR.
Ha - I remember that engine!

This afternoon my brother and I took out my old engine and started prepping a documented 600 mile 2008. Clean as a whistle! Brandon Dixon and Glenn Cooper saw it at the Jon Lewis (sorry for bringing up his name!) NJMP race and said it was like new. I paid $3100 for the car kit which is not happening any longer. My 2011 season engine cost $1200 and ran great for a season. I am sure people in the class longer than me have many examples of great junkyard engines....those days are behind us unless we embrace new engines......
Man that thing was a beaut!
Yep - Those days are pretty much gone, but ya never know...
Man that thing sat for awhile - I'd look into a way to pre oil the engine before spinning over/crankin' up. Pretty easy to pressurize an oil feed through one of the galley plugs on the side of the crankcase...
This post proves the point

Perfect example of this post potentially discouraging entry into FB.
Maybe some of you haven't seen this in your discussions.
