I'm no stranger to cones either. My record is around seven.
My funniest cone story was when I was instructing my girlfriend in my Miata. On the final turn, she pushed wide and caught an outside...
I'm looking at the tour Eric. If you and Jon go, we're in too. So far only Mark and Steve are committed. I really don't want to make the trip with less than five. I'd at least like a shot at...
I beg your pardon......cough cough!
If you get any faster, everyone will be looking at huge positive bump next year.
I've got hotel reservations for both the Pro and Tour at the Best Western in Patterson. I haven't registered yet, still waiting for commitments. I'm ready to go if we have a class.
The vibe I'm getting from Mike is that he's not going to come. We would like to go, but don't want to make the trip with less than 5 in class. If you are planning to go, please let us know ASAP. The...
If we can produce a class, we'll more that likely be there. Only four in San Diego was pretty disappointing.
Black car........black electical tape to cover the one for me.
You might check with Jayson Woodruff in our region Neil. He may be able to make you a low tack number cover to match your paint.
Well Mark, we can enjoy it while we can. Next year that will read 11,12,15,16. :(
Well, there goes our gearing excuse. LOL
Nick looked noticeably faster than Joey in the big left hand sweeper that was highlighted at the beginning of the east course. We were in 3rd at that...
I didn't see your name on the list Marshall. What's up with that?
Hey guys.
Speaking of the new Match Tour, we have one coming up October 26-27 in Saint George, Utah. Joey and I are registered, but we'd like to see at least 3 others to make a "real" class. ...
Take on a co-driver Dick. It will allow you to spread your knowledge, add a friend to your friends list, and you'll have a ready buyer when you make the decision to sell your car twenty years from...
Sorry to hear you're thinking of selling Dick. You'll certainly be missed if you do leave.
I paid $6K, put another 3K in it to prepare it for autocross and another $1k for a second set of wheels....
Sho, wasn't there talk of you moving to the left coast? We'd love to have you out here. The west coast C-mod gang is growing.
Sounds like you had a great time and mastered the launch. All good Doug. Thanks for the write up. And of course, congratulations or your great finish!
Yeah, we had a great time and learned a lot at this event. Glad you could catch it on You Tube.
You know I know both Jon's who competed in the final very well. I watched Jon finish ahead of Jon....
Well, things didn't work out exactly how Team Schilling would have liked. This was Team Clements weekend. Jon continued his hot driving taking the class and Eric jumped in for second. Not only did...
Hey Mike, why don't you bring your car down to El Toro at the end of June for the Super Regional. We have a great welcome party there also.
I heard through the grapevine that you doing quite...
Man, I forgot to mention Mark Huffman in that group of great drivers. Hope he doesn't read this. LOL
John Edwards also has the mushroom in that class, I believe a '67 Fiat. Fun to watch. I...
Doug I think we've had more trouble with the driver overheating than the car. We don't use an auxiliary fan. On hot days we may see temps in grid as high as 230. In San Diego, we had to keep the...
I'll throw in my 2 cents.
Wheel spin is a must. Too much wheel spin is a no-no. Since we're a peg leg car, you may want to rotate your rear tires between sessions to keep wear even.
In...
Thanks for the update Pru.
Neil, I don't see your name on the San Diego entry list. No time to waste!
Joey was DQ'd at the Southern Pacific Super Regional last year because of weight. We'll never make that mistake again....
Yeah, we removed it on my first two runs. :)
Eric times were certainly an eye opener. Unexpected, as usually he and Jon run pretty close. Jon took his runs first an was slower, maybe due to...
We were running on our Nationals tires. Still haven't done anything about the car pushing. The problem was magnified on this surface.
We're on 7's.
Thank you all for the replies. I was considering something like this.
Hi boys and girls.
My fuel bladder has a leak. I'd like to replace it with a small aluminum tank. Also, the way my car is now, I have to remove the body to add fuel I'd like to extend the...
I ended up buying the 10" Super Trapp. It came with 12 discs and I have run all of them for a total of 16 runs and have never blown over 90db. I glad you resurrected this post as it reminds to...
Yup. Had to disassemble and clean the fuel pump at the last event to finish my runs. Relocated the fuel filter to avoid having to do that again.
Last night I began the tedious process of...
Looks like good advice Andy. :thumbsup:
My car was set up for road racing when I purchased it. My former first gear is now my forth gear (85 MPH). First gear fixed (43 MPH). My second gear is pretty tall and all the courses we've driven...
Hey, if I could get enough people to cough up $33, I'd fill a can for me and give the extra away. We could all have free goat pee only it would cost you $33.
I think I can get goat pee free. I've got a friend with a goat, just got to figure a way to catch the pee. Might be worth the $33 not to have to chase the goat.
Which is why my tire shed is filled with perfectly good practice tires I need to sell. LOL
I haven't tracked number of runs, but we're on our first set Hoosiers and I'm very happy with wear so far as compared to my S2000 where it was 60 runs max.
Ok this Wood fella seems to be getting the drop on me as I work out other problems. LOL
So back to the RF84, one of the posts suggested lowering the rear lower A arms to below the mounting plate...
Thanks for all the reply's. Found out what the issue was today, although I still don't know why the problem was intermittent.
I was on course when the problem occurred today, hit the kill...

Here's what I have. On a 60 second autox course, intermittently we are experiencing power loss about half way through the course. sometimes worse that others. It typically happens after lifting...
Update on this thread. Scotty machined a new block plate .300 shorter than the last giving me .150 clearance to the clutch fingers. I've got about 50 runs on the car and no issues with the oil...
This one looks pretty nice and certainly worth testing. Was this a one off deal or is that the "new" selling price?
I ordered a Super Trapp 10" stainless today, about 3.5 lbs. $171 shipped from...
Thank you all for the great information.
Joefisherff, your post was very interesting but I couldn't find any posts by Richard detailing ff set-up and an email to the address on file bounced. Do...
Eric, did you notice a power drop?
The Burn 2 stage stainless looks good. Bill M is also using it and is happy.
Thanks guys for the responses.
We competed in our first event last weekend. We're getting the bugs out the car thanks to the help and advice we've gotten here and from friends. So now we're getting serious. The car turned-in...
Hi guys. I'm finally getting started competing with the new to me RF84. We'll be wanting to compete in the upcoming solo nation tour in San Diego and I'll need to pass a very strict sound limit of...
Joey Schilling and I have our numbers for the upcoming season. I'll be 66 and he's 166 driving an RF84. Thanks for posting.
Exactly right Don. Thanks for your time and pics.
Sure enough kea. Mine are missing. Under closer inspection of both the ear on the engine and the bell housing adapter, I can see where they go. The plate sandwiched in between will also...
