I had a similar situation at Indy this summer. Jay changed out a cracked valve spring keeper. I'd never met Jay before. What a gentleman!
Send an email to Alex Miller or Kathy Swinford at SVRA. They should know the answers.

Yep, that's the Z-bar mine had in '74 - used by RB Haynes in '73. From the size of those tires, it looks like someone had at least begun to convert it to FST. My estimate of worth as is would be...
Epic event. We might get 50.
I've begged Mr. Handy on my knees to let me drive that RT1. Probably ain't gonna happen. Still buying lottery tickets.

This is my car now. Been great so far. Winner at VIR and good results elsewhere. Just did a 3rd at Road Atlanta this past weekend.
Can only comment on CF. Kingham, Harmison, Rand. Several incidents and a full course caution for a few laps. Great weather. Some carnage. Earley, Nicolette, some others I don't know well enough by...
I have a set of Hoosier bias ply wets to sell. Came with the car and it was an SCCA car & now I only do vintage. Don't need them. No clue how to ship but I suppose anything is possible. Currently...
Small wonder why we are having so much fun in this series. The racers are great. The run group is self policing and the guys are both knowledgeable and skilled.
SVRA does Indy and Mid-Ohio.
VRG does the NE tracks like Summit, Pittrace, NJMP, Watkins Glen, Thompson, Mosport.
Enjoyed racing with you, Allan. Your car is very nice indeed.
NJMP was a blast. Long trip for me but great racing here. VRG and RFFCS put on a terrific show. Lee's track is a must-do if you've not been there.
Hi, Mike! Always a pleasure to hear from you!
I hope to make it to the 50th. Pretty sure we won't be seeing Carlin or Haynes. They might injure each other in the paddock anyway. :o Can't speak...
This one is likely to be memorable. Hope ya'll can join us. Haven't been on track with this many FFs since my last Runoffs in '80.
Amen to all that, Bernard. Quite the weapon. Enjoy!
Yes - Ask Peter Krause. He knows all you could ever hope to need to know about these - especially the 84. He has his driver coaching business HQ at VIR. Krause and Associates.

Freakin' amazing.
My hearty congratulations to the class for putting 43 cars on the starting grid. Way to go!

Sean: This is distressing news indeed. You are too good a guy to have to go through this. I'm sure you will pull through and I pray that you do.

Sports 2000 (S2) has a growing following in the vintage racing community. Don't laugh. The racing is real and lots of it to boot. Good fields, top notch drivers at the front, all the other benefits...
I am a Richard Morgan customer. Thank goodness. I hope he doesnt hang it up before I do.
Great guy, wonderful skills, reasonable prices.

Get in touch with SR Racing in Lexington, KY. They can get you in touch with others like Butch Deere - who knows everybody with the skills to help you. Ask for a contact to Bob Shedd. I dont know...
SVRA and some other vintage groups have broken with Monoposto's rules regarding CF. Now you can run your CF with Group 2 (which includes the vintage FF's -pre '73) as long as you are on Dunlops. ...
I didn't look up their specifics, but generally if you have a 10 year old car of about any kind, they will try to find a place for you. I suspect that an older FC would run with the fast wings and...
You can put Dave Handy in almost anything and it will be fast. That said, I've seen this car and its Lola stablemate run many times. Very impressive.

The SARRC ragional just held at RA was a great example of how innovative thinking can make SCCA a more inviting place to race. I was there for the test day & paid for that on Thursday evening. As I...
Sean: Sorry I didn't have a chance to speak with you this weekend. I came by your space & you weren't there. Congrats on Sunday. Saturday was interesting to say the least. We did have a decent...
Russ - pick me up on your way north. Oh, and then let's go to St. Jovite.

I'll make sure that you and Richard get a round-tubing kart on Monday night.

Bryan: You're too good & I gave too many hints! :p
The display was actually 2 small LED's glued inside his helmet to tell him when he had a lever pulled to activate the right or left side. He...
OK, open wheel historians. Who had the first heads up display in club racing?

A really good reporter would tow that thing home and bring it to the ARRC for further testing and demo's by expert drivers - like me!
