i went the same route as you. bertil roos was a great school and the cars are very similar to fm with the difference being primarily the frequency of engine rebuild. ive been racing ten years now and...

If this has been previously addressed please pardon the alert...but would rather errr on the side of caution. I was at Barber going into turn 12 and when I turned my steering wheel the front tires...

Don't forget fuel cell replacement every 3-4 years, seatbelts, replacement of upright bearings and I'm sure I've forgotten some other stuff

How you add it up makes a difference in your "able to afford it" perspective. Raced 8 weekends in 2012. cost per weekend including tires, car prep and repair, entry fees, transportation costs getting...

ditto. never been a problem.

Moses would be the one to ask...but why would the same car be faster with more weight?

1. check the main on/off switch. I just replaced mine after having same problem.
2. alternator wire to main maybe grounding if unprotected.
3. bad alternator with intermittent charging/battery...

Well, there not but two tire choices...why not just put a limit on the sizes you can run and leave both manufacturers available to all....spec can still have options... unless there is a financial...

Anywhere we can view the race?

Coop has a lot of experience across the board but there are mixed reviews on you question. He is correct about the oil usage in the engine but supplementing your fuel with a 2cycle oil and using...

I thought Moses and Peterson had a ride too...just wanted to pull for "our guys"

Anyone we know have a ride? If so, tell us how to find you!!!!:rolleyes:

Weren't you at Barber a month or so ago? Did they say anything to you? If not you were under 103. Just take your supertrap with you or get a pipe made you can turn away from the sound monitor. Bruce...

If seems like from other posts you have a serious concern about your muffler. You have one sure fire remedy. Just buy another one and carry it around with you. After about 8 races you'll need to...

When is the last time you had a reading at a track?

You look good out there. You had a veteran on track with you. Court Dowis was in the red and black fm. Your gonna be hard put to find other fm drivers to critique your driving skills but from the...

All I am able to get is the audio. Is there any video?

Your db level exceeds the tracks limit...but after being told that at the track several times you learn to tell the difference...

In my never ending quest to make things more affordable, I find myself dealing with the age old muffler debacle prior to my season starting and was wondering what happened to the experimentation of...

What a great term. It would seem to me that if you read the supps and after you see the excessive number of cars in the race that you would realize the chances of mayhem are more than 50%. If you...

Moses Smith put in his news letter that the COTA is on the FM schedule this year. I have checked the scca schedule and motorsports reg websites and don't find it listed on either. Does anybody...

Well, I guess I should've stopped at "here goes"...since I according to R Noell, am part of the "everyone" that agrees. "everyone" that I talk to complain about the shipping charges on the rebuild,...

Ok here goes. I have always been opposed to 1 company controlling production and supply of anything for obvious reasons. Not to slight D. D. As obviously there is no question about his contribution...

We have a saying down here in the south. Run with what "brung" you. Lotta peoples cars are down on power. Just carry more speed into the corners, keep you revs up. Run your practice days on tires...

Tractor supply lawnmower battery with 400 cranking amps. About 50 bucks I think.

nevermind, got it off of utube...

anyone know the proper way to clean and reseal the 3 piece fm wheel. I've got a slow leak I can't find...I've tried silicone and gasket sealer...

Anybody know how to reach him by e-mail....

you might want to contact Bruce Lawrence or Sam Lockwood or Jim Coman in Tallassee Alabama. All have been a big help to me and all do mostly exclusively Formula Mazda.

Done business with John for a while as have others I know. He always makes stuff right....All I can say is that i have acted nice to nim and he has rewarded me many times over with great tires...:p

Oh yeah, he won the SARRC too...(sp)

My congratulations to Court Dowis on a strong 1st Place at Roebling this weekend. Court beat Ty Young and a newcomer to FM and myself to take the SAARC championship. As a footnote, Court has always...

are you speaking pro fm or standard?

Being able to up the rev limiter to 7000+ where you didn't have to change gear sets to make it down the straightaway before hitting the rev limiter...or being able to get Darryl to street prt the...

0-30 Mobil one synthetic with one ounce per 5 gallons of synthetic 2 cycle oil of your choice. Watch the oil temp in the summer and change to 10-40 if necessary.

I've been talking to several different fm drivers about their choice of tires. Obviously the majority of those running in the national events seem to be running Goodyear although some run Hoosier....

Just went through dual homologation last year. cost 100.00. replaces my regular rev limiter with one higher to qualify...pretty simple. (FM)

Got a stainless pipe from summit that has a bunch a different bends in it. will see how it works...thanks for the suggestions.

I am sooking for alternative sources for ready made muffler ends in stainless. Anyone know where to look..part numbers etc..???

Okay, now for the newbie response:Just got back from the double Saarc weekend:Car prep, about 4-6 hours, including washing, checking fluids, nut and bolting, checking moving parts, can do yourself...

I've checked the forum and have seen where others have obtained the manual from others but no details from where. I just need a copy of the manual for this system. Any help pleaeeeese! Also need the...

Thanks...while I've got you, I can't find a dual water pump pulley...any ideas?

Where can you buy fuel safe foam cheap for FM. MSR seems to be out of stock. This stuff comes in blocks but they are all very small sizes and very expensive. Or is there another alternative?

you need a 7 x 16 car hauler with a dovetail. Two axles with brakes on one. 'bout 1500.:)

Yes we did meet. I was in the 04 car and came down to your pit. You helped me a good bit and all of your suggestions I've taken to heart beginning with the fuel starvation problem. I'm fixing a...

I've got a PI system but have not become familiar with its operation. These Alabama boys I race with don't have them in their cars and don't race open wheel. I'm trying to digest the PI manual but...

Thanks Russ...good sound advice. I think I would like someone good to drive my car to see if its the car or me as you suggested. I do have data acquisition but don't know how to use it very well....
