Good one Quinn esq.

Talk to Ron Chuck

We've had many female FV drivers on the West Coast. Currently I know of three Kim Madrid from SoCal, Marjorie Lundberg from SoCal, but originally from the NW, and Cheryl Gilbert from the NW. We...

Honestly, cannot even begin to answer that question. Nor do I think it is relevant. Everyone is looking at the as Falken or nothing? Which, is not the case. (from post #80)

The reason I asked is...

How many are you?
Do any of you race outside of Canada or the NE Region? If so how many?

Was the car picked up near Monterey Ca?

We replace the throttle cable every year, before the start of the season and carry a spare. They are cheap and easy enough to replace. It has proven to be just a simple precaution. We seldom have...

Funny, quite amusing, to think you are attempting to turn the tables from what is obviously a defense of the what is the definition of insanity. You admit your insecurity.

You may pretend the fst has won, but all your excuses or reasons can not change the fact that your numbers have not. That in a nut shell is the only number that counts. Blaming the failure of your...

Nothing I stated was pedantic, that is insulting. You made an error, why you do not accept that fact and simply take responsibility? I was not the person that brought up my name.

I suggest you reread your post, #113.

Stan,

I'm glad you think you have a crystal ball and are allowed to simply assume, but where have I ever advocated for a 1600 cc motor of any specification? By the way you attributed a quote, not...

The manifolds already has a restrictor. It's where the carb mounts to the intake, adding another variable, that can expand or contrast, such as a restrictor plate, does not solve anything. It could...

Looks similar to what Ron Chuck uses to tow Skip Street's car. In fact he will be bringing the car to Laguna this week in one of those, but it does have an engines, he built in it.

The wickebills were one on each side, not connected. Ronnie always designs things to lessen the work and will make it easier to remove the engine cover.

Look for semi- metallic shoes. They are inexpensive and they work well. You will be required to use more pedal force, but they do not fade. The ones we use on the left coast seem not require any...

When this was brought up, I searched fastrack to find any information. Only today when the October issue was released do I find any reference to con rods. Are you getting advanced notice of fastrack...

I sent in my response. I added a comment that could make this perceived problem moot. Basically I was advised of a Brake shoe that cost less than $20 an axle and I along with a few FV Drivers are...

That car will need a fire system $1000, belts. $300, fuel cell $600, Engine $3000, Transmission $ 2500, Front Beam assem $ 3000, brakes $ 1000, Other misc. $???. The prices are just estimates, but it...

Locally produced chassis is the Crusader or the old Mysterians and Ron Chuck knows them well.

You are making a good start, asking questions. Introduce yourself to your competitors, they are your most valuable source. Introduce whoever you have that is helping you too.

Start with a check...

Since you are in the Bay Area, you can keep up with the racing here

What car did you acquire? Two People you may need to know are Ron Chuck and Brian McCarthy....

Bruce,

Isn't that called the Mid West?

Too high. I usually set mine around 800 rpm. You may have a vacuum leak.

The SF Region has scheduled some race weekend at Laguna Seca. Here are the dates.

March 28-30 Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca Double Regional



June 5 Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca ...

Most of us on the west coast consider Sears Point to be the most technical. It has blind corners and elevation changes.

By the way all race car tires are round. Does that make all car SPECific enough for you? Sorry you get aggravated from a silly reason, but this issue has been mentioned to death.

They don't have a spec tire either. They have choice of tires.

My problem with a spec tire. We are not a spec class. Having the tire rules as is, allows each to pick his own tire for his budget. Why take any non-spec class of auto racing to it's lowest level of...

I have found it to be whatever the driver prefers. There is no set preference.

Stronger link pin spindles are available and are legal for use at CIP1.

This one is in Laguna Hills, Ca. Call them and discuss what you need.

Just for those that are confused. Formula Vee is not a spec class.

Why do some discount driver ability and car handling so easily? A good motor will only allow you to be in the front half of the Runoff in straights, but nowhere near the leaders, if you do not have...

The top is a three finger, stiffer pressure. The bottom is a diaphragm, lighter pressure. I prefer the diaphragm. The three finger tends to come apart if you go past center.

I was told Brad Stout was first, followed by Roger Siebenaler, Steven Davis and Jeremy Grenier. I was told Stout came over to cover Roger on the front straight on the inside, then went to the outside...

Anyone know how the protest went in the current class?

I've been using the Contours GPS for over 3 years have not had a problem. Now with the new software it is easy to edit and record to a DVD or Blue- Ray disc. They have a new camera that has replace...

Cars that have carbon bodies, do not like to add weight and paint is weight.

Secure the frame, since bending the spring will lift the frame.

This from Penske
The 7500 Series is our most popular short track shock option, featuring an aluminum body and nitrogen separator piston for increased performance. This damper is offered in a...

Having had high blood pressure, the only part was a medical every year and an EKG every other.

Mike you are correct, and that is Ron Chuck setting tire pressures.

The most Important thing is to get the word out. Just ask anyone on the street if they know what SCCA stands for and I can almost guarantee, you will not get the correct answer. Being the Secret Car...

Limiting must be a Regional thing. Out here in the SF Region there is no limit and no charge for spectators or crew. They just need to register. They are given access every where except the hot pits.

Mark,

your recommendations to...

I spend alot more time on recycling and responsible garbage disposal than my 20 yr old kids. While frustrating, knowing that my efforts are more...

There has not been a single reason to convince me that a spec tire will save the class. As for the last fifteen years I have not seen a decline in FV. What I have seen is a fluctuation in...
