Everybody must keep in mind that this thread is specific to the Formula Vee Ad Hoc Committee's disc brake recommendation to SCCA. It has nothing to do with the Challenge Cup FRONT disc brake ONLY...

I swore I'd never post about wheel / tire conversations again, but I simply cannot let Brian's comments go without a counterpoint.

Years ago, when my boys were still in their teens and we were...

Without getting into car modifications and the purpose of a proposed modification, and without getting into determining the future direction or the class (those posts seem to be written with...

BamBam / FV1200 guys,

While this has the potential to lead us off topic slightly, for those of us south of the border, what changes are "people pushing for" within the F1200 group?

I have to admit, this discussion is beginning to confuse me slightly. Correct me if I am wrong.

However, someone looking at the nose of my Protoform once asked "What is that big wart on the nose of your car for? That's ugly."


And for the record, the steering box and arm on Matt's RTJ is...

This goes back to the point of my post.

Before you can decide on a specific change you want to implement, whether it be disc brakes, tires, or whatever, you must first determine what it is you...

Noel is spot on.

I think everybody needs to step back and look at this discussion more globally. To me, these discussions end up in the same category, whether they are regarding disc brakes, ball...

Steve,

The package is heavier. The wheel is roughly the same weight as the F1200 wheel. Together, the wheel and tire are slightly heavier than the current F1200 wheel/tire because of the larger...

G,

Matt ran a set of Empi/Falkens at the Watkins Glen Last Chance event. He said they handled well. I'll let Dennis P. and Matt comment more regarding driving on the Falken radials. The Empi's...

Dave,

Many of the Vee guys pit in one of the areas just above the Medical Center. Once you drive through the tunnel, turn left at the second intersection, go up the hill just past the Medical...

Derm,

Guys,

The idea was to keep the cost down as much as possible and appeal to as broad of a group as possible. The biggest complaint I've heard from a number of guys is they did not care for the...

Chris,

As I stated, there is no disrespect intended, nor did I intend to offend anybody.

I put this out for discussion because a number of the guys have expressed that they weren't...

Guys,

All comments about disc brakes, or no disc brakes, aside. Stan's chart seems very revealing to me. The real...

After reading the posts on the Disc Brake issue, I have a few questions, but mostly, I'm just wondering out loud.

- Why does there have to be such a wide difference between the classes?
