Geartronics. Trouble free for two years now.
I have 2 PFM's currently. Raced them in the Pro Mazda "Road to Indy" series 2015-17. I've recently upgraded both cars to paddles and would NEVER go back to sequential shifting. Whomever is telling...
Get an Antigravity Lithium Battery and it'll crank your engine fast no matter what starter is in it! I haven't used a jump pack in 2 years. -Kevin
On the back of the alternator where the single wire that has the female spade connector attaches there are TWO male terminals. If you are not attached to the correct terminal it will not charge....
Radial or bias?
Radial -3.0 to -3.5 Front -2.5 to -3 rear
Bias -.5 front +0 to +.5 rear
I have the Geartronics system on my PFM. Hands down the best thing you can do for this car! Total game changer and makes the PFM the absolute best bang for your money in open wheel racing. I raced an...
Unfortunately his services won't last forever. I've been told he's going to stop soon. :(
With Speedsource now closed who else is capable to build our rotary engines?
I know of one. Darryl Drummond
Had an awesome time at St Pete! First time on a street course and I would definitely do it again. Our next stop is Indy GP in May then off to Road America! -Kevin
...
Both are awesome airplanes! Unfortunately I'm driving the rig down w/ the car.
I'll look you guys up. I'll be at the little 28' trailer and pop-up awning. lol
I will be at St Pete as well. Planning on running the whole series this year. -Kevin
And it only gets better?!!!

Hmm.. I thought it was better than that? Still way better than any other open wheel series in the states! (except IndyCar of coarse)
They actually had pretty good number of entries last year. averaged about 25 per event in USF2000 and 16-18 in Pro Mazda.

52k for the usf2000 + engine-wheels-dampers
10k more for the Pro Mazda
Looks pretty good! I attended the winter series meeting at PRI and the price point on both cars is going to be reasonable.

Anderson Promotions has revamped the "Masters" class for 2016 and beyond. 35 and older drivers can now run the 2004 spec car or the 2012 spec. Entry fee's are 40% lower per event and Tires are...
Yep! Leaving for Texas tomorrow. Always wanted to race COTA. I guess a test will have to do for now. Hopefully they schedule a race there soon. Good luck with the Formula E!
:( Bummed they didn't re-design/update the current car. You going to COTA nest week Fred?
Antigravity battery in my Pro Mazda. Excellent cca's & only 2.5 lbs
I know a guy that just purchased a Formula Lites from Crawford last month. Now you can buy basically the same car for less than half the 120k it takes to buy the Lites car? I wonder how this will...

I wonder what this will do to the value of the older car? Any guess on the cost?
It appears Sunoco GTX is Ethanol Free. So, what's the verdict? Pump gas ok to use for track days?
Those kids are fast! One of the many reasons I like Spec Class racing the most is the close competition.
Thanks for the kind words Fred! :)

It appears that if I pay the entry they will let me and any others not entered at Nola start at the tail.
Thanks for the support!
I will be making my PMC racing debut in the "Expert" category in Pro Mazda at the Indy Grand Prix. If it goes ok I may enter other events this year. Anyone who might be interested in updates can...
15.7%. I think that's what causing issue. The head of a zip tie was wedged in the throttle pedal pivot causing it not to fully close! I will start it tomorrow to confirm.
Thanks Mikey!
Hey guys. I'm getting a high idle around 3k on my PFM since having removed and reinstalled my injectors. (had them cleaned) I made sure they were installed correct and location right along with...
I should add that Moses has always treated me fair. No complaints at all.
IMO, if your going to vote on a spec tire you should know what that tire is before you vote. I ran Hoosiers and Goodyear's this season (before I got the PM) and the Hoosiers were faster and lasted...
Turn the idle screw down to 12-1300 rpm. That's where we ran mine.
I saw Moses at PRI in Indy, I'm sure you will be able to reach him next week.
I can't help but notice all the entries are from the west/southwest. :(
Hey Fred, what happened to Grist? Unusual to see him in the back. Also, what do you think of the new Indy Lights car?
Spencer Pigot finally gets the Championship. Down to the wire against Hargrove in California today!

Who's coming up? I just realized the FM is running with the FF cars. A lot better than being grouped with the FA's and FC's IMO. Only 1 registered so far??
Kevin
Sh*t Stuart, I can't even hang with you or Darryl! I may show up if my trailer gets fixed in time. -Kevin
I think a lot of racers won't go FM because they don't look modern. Like that should matter to the guy flyin behind the wheel. Another thing that cracks me up is one will spend $60k on a car they...
We used the FE Hoosier tires at Autobahn for our race series last year in FM. They worked good. A friend of mine tried them on his PFM for a track day and said they worked ok. Thoughts anyone? -Kevin
Couldn't find many pictures of Aim installs here or on the web. I figured I'd post some of mine after the install this weekend. The steering and throttle were made from a block of aluminum machined...
Thanks Guy's. There's so flippin many brake fluids out there it's hard to figure what to use. What kinda temps are average on an FM caliper?
Thanks again- Kevin
Oh, Lamborghini Diablo :)
Hey Guys. What brake fluid are you using in your FM? Thanks -Kevin
So far I know of 6 FM's attending Sebring including myself. Wipe the dust off some of them cars and let's make this one hell of a showing! You know you want to. :D -Kevin
Looks like no race at COTA this spring. Man I was looking forward to that race and showing Darryl Wills how it's done! :D -Kevin

I'm getting ready to install an AIM dash and I was hoping to see some pics of how other FM's have installed their harness's, throttle, steering, brake sensor's, etc.. Also, any install advice would...
I was off line and slowed because an FC got the inside line on T6 as the red FC ahead of me just spun in T6 as I crested the hill and I was unsure if he would remain stopped or move. When I checked...
Thanks for the kind words. I'm kinda regretting posting it now though. The theme on the car is a requirement for the Autobahn race series I participate in. There are about 20 of us with F1 schemes.
