I would like to think so.
All that I can say is HAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH:ha::ha::ha::ha::ha::ha::ha::ha::ha:
Greg and his guys were running against some of the best drivers in the country.
Does anyone have any onboard footage of a F1600 at Mosport? (Top driver preferred) I have searched YouTube but everything has music and hard to listen too for braking and acceleration points.
...
We ended up doing a 1:33 by sunday morning. We only had 5 sessions in the car and the wrong gears in the car we essentially didnt have a second gear as it was so close to 1st. We ran into some...
Check the floatlevel in the carb. Maybe to low ?
PM me I will give my phone # we can have a chat. I will have all my 1200 stuff for sale at the end of the year. As Frank said I have 2014 BRD. We have a lot of parts and our car is top notch.
So far I only see 11 cars registered. How many more can we expect to come?
Thank you for once again proving why I don't post on the forum anymore. Talking to a bunch of people that don't do things the right way. Anyway take away the paint Job for 1200 it will still cost...
Firstly I have built 3 FVs from the ground up. Ive been there many times.
If you want to do it right. Assuming he wants to build it into a 1200.
A decent engine $3000
Since it has a 1600...
You have to ask yourself. Do I have a garage that if fully outfitted with every hand tool, welder, grinders, sand blaster and countless other specialty tools? Have I ever done a restoration before on...
Thanks Mike. Were hosting a Pre Season Tech Day at our shop on April 19th so Colene is going to get the log book application ready and than all we have to do is get a log book from the CASC trailer.
Thanks! Yeah we're going to do the canam weekend in September.
Here are some pictures of our RF93 Van Diemen Monoshock after Chassis and Bodywork rebuild. We replaced the huge side pods with the RF92 rad covers. Rebuilt all the suspension. Painted the body. And...
The bends on the horizontal tube are not allowed to exceed 1.029" rotating 4 times and take an average. The other parts of the manifold are the same.
I still have one FV left for one more year. lol
Thats awesome! Love the way the cars look! That looks like an attractive car! If we had something like that here in Canada I would consider staying in FV/FST. The Aussies did a great job promoting...
I officially sold my Blackhole today. So we will have a new driver for 2015.
If this class is something your thinking about. We will have everything for sale at the end of this coming season. I am even starting to sell the parts now. The only thing that won't be available...
Not promoting anything like that. This is just what some people were telling me.
If you care so much about this class why are you not racing in it to help support it?
By you leaving the class...
Your right the name FST is not worldwide. But FST is worldwide. Because it is FV. The rest of the world has moved on from 1200s. They are either running the aircooled 1600 or a watercooled engine....
Here in Kanada where we live in igloos we had Thanksgiving a while ago!! I'll take it as a belated Happy Thanksgiving!!;););)
Something we can do right now. Realistically how many F1200 drivers actually have a Apexspeed account.
We should send a mass email to all the FTDA members and encourage them to sign up and...
No offence here I wasn't the one who said it or agreed with it.
I like the "have more children" thing. Thats awesome!!:):):) I will hopefully have a new F1200 entry ready for 2030!!!
We have a pending sale on our Blackhole so if a few more things fall in place we will be buying a "B" class formula Ford and have it prepared for the 2016 season.
I don't think its a matter of "will" or "wanting" for a lot of people in F1200 we don't have the sort of money to cover such expenses. Thats why we race F1200. For a lot of us racing the 6 race...
They tried this in the past and from what Harry said you have to guarantee x amount of cars and if you don't have them each driver or the club has to cover the cost. When they did the pro weekends...
When Formula Ford were down on car counts that always had there own track time.
( On the road to F1 )and 100 000 000 to buy a Seat. Wake up and smell the Coffee. ha, ha.
Im only writing this now because everytime I want to change something. I get flak about "we need to keep costs down"
Canadian F1200 always talks about keeping our rules inline with the states. So...
What about Canadian cars that don't have a SCCA approved fuel cell? Fire systems?
Would they be eligible to race in the US part of the series?
For three years 2010-2012 I took our car to my former local karting track (which is the largest karting club in Ontario) and put it on display. BTW the race i took it too was The Oktoberfest Grand...
Why didn't you raise your hand at the AGM to be the only vote against the test? This contradict your statement above..."leave the class alone". We as a group said yes to the test...no vote on change...
How do you know??
I have had people question with concern about the steering box.
How come every car on earth has a rack? If boxes were as good as racks how come they invented racks and use...
As much as people are not convinced that we need steering racks. I understand making major changes can be detrimental to our class. I understand and agree with all and everyone's points as to why we...
Just to clarify we don't use stock manifolds we just arent allowed to make the bends as "big" as the scca allows. They are still far from stock. And when we make them we don't plaster $1000 plus...
In our new car this year we put a brand new TRW steering box in. Already from day one there was play. By mid season the "play" was unacceptable. We continually adjusted the box throughout the year....
I have two sets of wheels one set with "flat spokes" and the other with "angled spokes". They have different offsets. I can't remember exactly how much but it was atleast a 1/4 inch. I run them...
In every race organization I have ever raced in if there is a tie the points go to the driver that has the most overall points up to that point before drops. I have never heard of this method being...
Even a couple of years ago when our car count was high they put us with libre. That was when F1600 had 10-12 cars and they got their own race that same weekend. I just don't see any consistency.
They keep screwing us over. Soon they are going to kill the class permanently. We only have 10-12 cars left as it is. I can tell you if next year they keeping wanting to stick us with libre they are...
It's our 4th season and two test days a year on them. Still fast and consistant.
Just wondering if there is going to be an update on the point from the last weekend??
Thanks
Does anyone know where to sign up for the test day on friday before the race.
I contacted MCO and they said to Call Calabogie Race track and than I called them and they said to Call MCO. I have no...
It was fun having new people to race with!
That means I have to cook that weekend???:(:(:(. Just to let you know Frank this is a very big inconvenience for me :mad::mad::mad:
This is my 4th season on the same set of tires. Excellent tires.
How is the points structure laid out?
Ok thanks! Ill send you something later... I hope everyone contributes to this. As these kinds of things will help with advertising our class.
