Whitepages.com is a "public forum" as well. Anyone on earth who has Internet access can get this information by simply plugging in the name Al Essig in the state of Kansas. I don't know if this "Alan...

Adding FB to the FA class spec lines (as suggested in post #4 above) would not produce separate national champions. The FA class spec lines currently include Pro Formula Mazda, Formula 3, Ex-Fran Am...

It really depends on your bearing clearance. On a "tight" Suzuki, you should see no less than 50 psi at wide open throttle at 12,000 rpm. On a Suzuki with larger bearing clearance, my engine builder...

Here's a side view that shows just how small the front of the T332's tub was. The T332 chassis was of course the basis for various Can-Am cars, including the T333CS, Herb Caplan's Prophet, the...

The wiring insulation on a voltage rectifier/regulator melted when I was using a Ballistic. I currently use the Antigravity 16-Cell "small case" LI battery, which measures 4 5/8" L x 3 1/4" W x 5" H....

No curiosity on my part, just responding to TDI PILOT's request for a link to some of the more entertaining threads. For his purposes (and mine), RadRog's posts went away.

I could be wrong, but I think his posts went away when he was removed from the forum. Some quotes may still exist in other people's posts.

PM sent.

Coop, I believe these are reversed; ~4.5 qts. is what I run with my GSXR wet sump.

Four bearing-related engine failures in one year, versus zero bearing-related engine failures in seven years? That's a fairly stark contrast. In my opinion your customer is doing something wrong. If...

The key word is history.

The engines don't blow from oil pressure-related failures with the wet sump pan we have now. The oil pressure is fine under braking, etc. The two engines I've lost were the result of a CP wrist pin...

Many people who run flat plate restrictors (e.g., in P1 and P2) use velocity stacks above and below the flat plate to avoid the induction system disruption I think you're referring to. Not expressing...

Club racing is expensive, and most people want a chance to be competitive if they’re going to spend that kind of money. Hence, balance of power is inevitable in any non-spec class, including in...

Well played, sir! Actually, just a regular flat washer. I assume it's a Suzuki part, since they've all been identical.

I've had three 2007-2008 Gixxers and none of them has had a splined washer.

Remind me why, on a track just over two miles long, we can't get a truck to pick up a car in the space of five laps, and instead decide national championships by throwing the checkered flag three...

That's the key. Drill holes in the cap that are exactly the same diameter as the hoses. Run the hoses just through the cap and put zip ties around them underneath the cap to keep them from coming...

A couple of years ago I was interested in buying a product from them, but I didn't want to pay the cost of shipping it from Indianapolis to Lafayette, which was ridiculous in light of the short...

You are looking at the minutes of the January 20-23, 2016 Board of Directors meeting during the 2016 National Convention, and the key sentence says, "If passed, the CRB recommends this change to be...

The CRB imposed an inlet restrictor (32mm) on 670cc turbocharged and supercharged engines in DSR effective 2/1/13. This was 11 months before consolidation of the sports racing classes into P1 and P2...

When Tucker previously engaged in these kinds of deceptive practices with "payday" loans, he and his companies were subject to the enforcement of state laws by state attorneys general. His solution...

Grousing on a public forum is rarely a good indicator of the facts. Most people were not in favor of consolidation, but when it became a reality the folks in the ad hoc committees spent an enormous...

P2 actually is doing well, with only two seasons in the books. After finishing 26th in the U.S. Majors participation standings in 2014, P2 moved up to 17th position in 2015 - two spots above FB in...

P2 is not P1 with a flat bottom. The difference in lap time at Elkhart Lake, for example, is normally on the order of 10 seconds, which is not just downforce but also a significant disparity in...

Thanks. My Jongbloeds came with the car when I bought it in 2009. The centers measure .75" out at the rim, so they must be a different wheel.

Gary:

I have some three-piece Jongbloeds that came with my Stohr, but I've looked at mine and I'm not sure where you're measuring the outer rim of the wheel center. Could you please provide a bit...

After doing this for a while we begin to forget what it was like when we started out. Sort of makes me wonder what my wife would think if she drove my P1 car (WF-1) . . .

Ted, you should know by now that I'm not nearly as knowledgeable as you.

What?? I run a 1000cc in P1, not FB.

Again, I ask, what kind of an (actual) advantage? Are you (and Jerry) saying that using a dry sump results in more peak horsepower or more low end torque (or both)? If so, how much more? And why...

"Helped" him in what way? If you run a wet pan that ensures good oil pressure under both heavy braking and high lateral Gs and the oil runs at the optimum temperature (all as confirmed by the data),...

If you get the right tool (not expensive) there will be no need for a filter with a nut on it. The Suzuki oil filter wrench (Suzuki part no. 09915-40610) has a nut on it. See the attachment. I use...

I believe so. Jason Barfield raced a WF-1 and I believe he weighed 200 lbs. and was at least 6'2". The pedal box is adjustable and the bare tub is fairly roomy.

FC uses similar tubular frame chassis and is not all that much slower on the straights than FB. With the exception of one "outlier" trap speed from an FB on a single qualifying lap, the difference in...

I just kept the larger Hayabusa regulator that my engine builder gave me, and the wires on it look fine so far. I haven't changed the way I do things, and I don't know what caused the insulation on...

This may shed some light on my experience this past summer. Just before the Sunday race at the June Sprints, my engine builder noticed that the insulation had melted on the wires near my '08 GSXR...

Tolerance? Temperature? I'm no expert on this, but if I were entering a car that required a maximum 42mm restrictor then it would be my understanding that the hole could not exceed 42mm under any...

GCR Appendix F. Technical Glossary defines a legal restrictor plate. See page 167 of the December 2014 GCR.

Items recommended by the CRB are considered twice a year by the Board of Directors, typically during the August and December meetings. I believe the December meeting this year is on the 10th.

See page 2 of the Recommended Rules Changes (October 2014) submitted to the Board of Directors to become effective 1/1/2015 if approved:...

F1000/FB is not a beginner class. You'll ultimately be a quicker driver if you "begin at the beginning" and master a less complex/less demanding car first.

For what it's worth, I've used a hydraulic clutch for five seasons and have never had any hassle from it, but to each his own. I haven't weighed the master cylinder, line, and slave cylinder, but I...

The hydraulics don't add any work when you change the front gear. You take out the four bolts that hold the cover on over the front gear, and the hydraulics just stay attached to the cover, which can...
