Nothing specific yet just looking at putting another car together and figuring out options and which way (car) I want to go

Is anyone still producing Protoform parts? Bodies and car specific parts?

I'm not so sure drilling a hole in a wheel spoke is a good idea

Ok made more changes

Added some links

Added Facebook links

Corrected a few more errors

Added VIDEOS! Everyone loves videos! :thumbs:

Thanks for the suggestion Steve

Who is getting the survey? I have not gotten anything about the survey. :confused:

Mike you do remember I live 15 min from you and I have a Womer ;) you can take all the pictures you want.

I don't understand how people read something totally different than what is actually stated.

This may explain a lot of things. :rolleyes:

You guys are experienced ;)

During a race weekend I may adjust this and move that but in no way do I slave over my car. This only can happen once a car is sorted no matter what class. A lot of...

:D Your right

Ill change my statement to

Because some do not want to take the time to set the car up correctly and the time to manage tires correctly

Because no one wants to take the time to set the car up correctly and the time to manage tires correctly. Also I do not run any majors so a few tenths towards the end of the tires life just forces...

I manage 1 set per season 5-6 weekends.

For me it would not be worth the travel to race with 10 cars. Guess we are spoiled in the NE

Get your friends to write letters for something they know nothing about?

:confused:

maybe you should read it again slower

Everyone keeps talking about this "majority"

Majority : a number that is greater than half of a TOTAL.

Does anyone on this forum really believe that the entire FV community has participated...

There is no one to swim with

They will choose the best DOT option regardless of cost to win.

Yes is was Club Formula Vee in the NE. Lasted about 3 years.

I say it's might be to late because there is no one there to push like we have in the NE.




I'm well aware it is growing in the NE we have been working on it for 4 years.



I agree but...

The USA or 15-20 drivers?




A spec tire will not fix this IMO. Something like what we are doing in the Northeast might help but it may be just to late.

I agree $800 tires does not help...

Someone please tell me what has changed?

Not at all i was just saying it has been covered, but really not much has changed

Ok lets do a poll every year

You have to be kidding.... that's what has changed in 2 years :rolleyes:

I don't think it was "Years ago" 2 maybe.... what has changed?

if you have been reading all the previous threads it is very easy to find the results.

This has been done and the majority wants a spec slick.

This has already been done

These newbies need guidance and sometimes help. The easy part is making a purchase and if they are not in contact with a current driver that is willing to help a little, getting on track can be...

Seems like a reasonable price

I think it's more driver ability, set up, preparation and dedication than anything else.

I think the majority are running engine in the 3-5k range and many even less. Talking majors level runoff engines I don't know but saying FVs are running 10k + engines is not accurate, a few maybe...

I have been working on getting the drivers page back up. If your a Northeast driver and are not on this page and you would like to be please send photo, name and hometown to nefv@comcast.net. If...

And this event is only $250

Mine is on in my tool box :D

Rumor has it a special Pace Car will be leading the field !

I agree with Tom. Everyone that is attending the school should bring someone to crew, at least to do the little things..... Oil, fuel, help with belts, helmet, arm restraints (don't for get arm...

There should be a few of us there to help.

You do not want to miss any sessions if possible and we will do our best so that does not happen.

You can purchase fuel at the track if you want to...

Short answer is YES but it takes more than just a engine to be competitive in FV.

What is the spec for manifold exactly? "not monster" does not really explain anything. Most US cars have a SCCA legal manifold which has a specific measurements.

Thanks

Do you guys ever run Tremblant?

That's my point you can't prove it at least not to my knowledge which is why I asked the question. Will anyone challenge it? I doubt it. We have strict rules now on engines and people still show...

You said to keep cost down was the reason not to run aluminum wheels now it's because of a sponsor which is it? I don't care either way but I would just like to be clear on reasons. What happens...

[QUOTE] As for the tires I have run IT and trust me its not hard to tell who's running shaved tires. /QUOTE]

Can you explain how? I also have raced in classes that shaved tires this is why I'm...

Because they will be.

How will shaving tires be controlled?

As Fos said what it the penalty for running the current SCCA sec manifold? On some cars swapping the manifold can change a few...

You guys do just as much if not more to make it happen!
