South Africa have a package available from any VW dealer. However.....the rotors get skimmed.
Brazil also have an over the counter system with no mods.
I suggest a softer compound pad. Pine is...
Brian...the true fact in this case is that your way to promote, develop and make formula vee great again perplex me to no end. I promote and invest into formula vee giving back to the sport I love...
It's really nice that time proofed you wrong. Go to Formula Vee Brasilia that's now partners with the Challenge Cup as is Formula Vee South Africa. We now have Brazilians and South Africans racing in...
There's a BRD for sale that's competitive in Ontariofor something like $4500 on Apex. Bill Vallis just rebuilt the motor.
Cheapest is Challenge Cup. You have races close to you or you can do the...
With Challenge Cup Series as base we now have international races to be known as "Intercontinental Cup" events. The first race of this global bucket list races would be a yearly event starting Jan...
We raced their 1400 water cooled vees. It was fully sponsored by VW South Africa and Hankook Tires. Fully sponsored including entry fees, car and race support.
It was a gr8 experience for us all.
How is this for another addition to the Intercontinental Challenge Cup series. Another flag to join the bucket list races. Thanks to Steve from the UK and welcome on our journey around the globe....
We all jumped on planes and met up in Johannesburg before flying together to Capetown after Thanksgiving. Arriving on Tuesday morning, Nov. 29th 2016, after starting Sunday evening and then not...
After a lot of e-mails and talks that not all parties understood at times(thanks Roberto for the translations)....with my Dutch accent and Sergios Portuguese we would like to announce that the first...
Such a success Brian Harding that the Challenge Cup got invited by VW South Africa and Hankook Tyres to compete at the 50th Anniversary. Four Challenge cup drivers are sponsored to arrive and drive...
Chris there's no issues or problems getting or using steering racks. South African vees have them for many years and can be bought. See photo of how simple it is and the little space it occupy....
My 10ft V-nose trailer works gr8. I drive the Mysterian into the trailer with two inches clearance in the front and one inch in the back. I carry a lot of spares and equipment on racking including...
[QUOTE=bobs66440;500475]I'm just looking for some inexpensive ideas how to trailer my car.
My last trailer in South Africa ended up with Peter Hills. Here you can see Peter driving up the ramps....

Hi Bob...here's some previous trailers I owned and sold with the cars.
The first one with my toolbox...
When and can we race on Falken tyres?
Now is the time Brian...here's the solution.
You forgot to mention the party. You have to attend the party to receive your price in person.....lol. There's one that knows what I mean. Bring the family and enjoy.
And the rest of the world have Vees on radials now for more then 50 years....you want to tell them they have or had a crap experience????
What we now get at Cayuga is that the tin tops challenge us to race against them. They keep asking and have a lot of interest especially after my daughter drives circles around them. However the...
Exactly the case here where we do track days at Cayuga with the Vees. My son-in-law in his vee and my daughter in the other vee and me occasionally chasing the Subarus and them. As per your...
Trackside support not a problem. In Canada we have Falken at the track with all the equipment to change tires balancing etc. Bill also have some spares in his trailer. In the US we have Dean slugging...
Someone mentioned it's just 20 odd drivers. Yet we have a successful series with high participation. Now 31 members in the Challenge Cup alone and growing.
We got two"families" drawn into our...
[QUOTE=fvracer27;482143]I say it's might be to late because there is no one there to push like we have in the NE.
I agree but how do we convince these people to bring the car back out? In most...
Your'e spot on with the entry fees. Spec tire though helps a lot to get healthy fields to races. This is my 40th year racing formula Vees on spec tires(mostly in South Africa). Only raced the 30th...
I didn't vote for one as I've been racing elsewhere. Now I have the opportunity to vote and add my choice democraticly.
If you allow the Falkens it would be me for sure. Would like to go to as many as possible new tracks.
The SA Vees have the 1400 VW Golf engine with two 40DCOE Webers. VW front beam with inboard shocks.
Tires would remain an issue worldwide due to sponsorships. The series in SA get a huge Hankook...
If everything is equal...tires make a difference. Over the history of Vee, changes in rules do have huge reductions.
We had between 40 to 45 Vees(max allowed to enter at Kyalami) prior to 1981....
South Africa had Michelin MXL's since I started in the seventies (185/70 14 rear and 185/60 14 fronts) They changed a few years ago to Hankooks. Hankook sponsor the series with free tires(1 set per...
Wrong on this for sure...some of the "haves" don't want to spend their budgets on four or five races. Rather spend that same money racing on more tracks and enjoy. The lower budget racer want to take...
What would you say if one or both of the Scheckters, Toby and Thomas join us in the Challenge Cup Series for an "elitish" showing. Both raced Vees on Radials in SA. One may join us at NJ if we can...

We(SA) raced for more then 20 years on Michelin MXL's(lower profile on the front) Now they race the fully sponsored Hankooks. They still have big fields and never used slicks.
Having said this I...
Much appreciated.

Hello Johan
I checked the Formula Vee Challenge Cup website and it appears that the Aug 1...
Do we have to register with SCCA and if we do....which division should I register in?
Trying to register but dibracing.com wants a U.S. Club membership.
Would they allow us to race the Falkens in their Regionals? Would like to do a few.....
Have difficulty to register...will give it a shot tomorrow again
Not sure...do we register through this link or MotorsportReg.com?
Keep my spot at the table......
I will be there. Where can I get a transponder for Dave's vee?
Will be Dave Morgan's first race or track experience ever.....next stop Bill Vallis for final check. Photos of his vee without body and...

Going to be there. That would be two of us from Canada joining their anniversary race weekend.
I have one that will be racing in the Libre class from September. Just going to do the anniversary race and 2hr endure in SA. Shipping it to Waterdown Ontario after the races. Built 14 of then. Have...
Hi Noel...if I want to test two cars would there be an additional cost and do you have an idea of how much for the test day?
Chris it's not a problem at the border. However make sure the rental company know youre crossing the border for insurance purposes....same with U-haul trailers.
Guy should be the one to answer this the best. However.....just bought another vee in the US and brought it back to Canada. Told them it's mine without telling anything more.
Bought my Mysterian...
Done. Waiting for better weather and see if I can book the track for a day.....thanks to Guy again.
Thanks Guy...will get them there. The price for a full day at $90 is gr8. They call it "Open car lapping"....and "Road Course Programs Run Rain or Shine".
I own two f1200 Vees and one 1400 water cool Vee. Just need to get the two to test the f1200's before I invest in one more f1200. Attached photos of the vees.
I have two newbies....one still hesitant the other more serious. Thomas Zasiewski from Oakville that wants to do a day in a Vee at any track to feel and experience before he do the driver training. I...
