At almost 6'2", 230lbs I fit very comfortably in my 84 VanDiemen. I don't know if the Chassis has ever been modified for a larger driver but I've sat in two different 84 VanDiemens and both were very...
I wish. We just got the car out for the first time last weekend at the Peru Tour. We're just not prepared to go this year.
Great to hear! Welcome to the class! Things are really picking up for CM out on the coast.
According to a conversation I had with Jeff on Sunday at the Peru Tour, he said it was not necessary. He said to just drive around the paddock a few times the morning before the event.
CM numbers are down a bit but on the rise. New cars are coming onto the grid and new drivers are getting involved. Rules stability has been a part of the attraction. It was for me.
I've posted...
Bad idea, IMO.
Mod classes with two different types of cars don't work. Too many performance allowances are required to make them competitive. It's that way in BM and was that way in FM when the...
Wow. Beautiful.
Chris, Ben is no longer driving with me. He relocated to Seattle. Hopefully he'll find a FF for himself soon. My co-driver going forward will be Gustavo Hammerly.
I'm suprised that some of these cars are being converted back to road racing. They can't be competitive even on a regional level, can they? Or are they eligible for CF or Historic classes?
Ben, good luck on your search. If you're on facebook you may want to search for and join the SCCA Solo C Modified group. There should be lots of helpful information, pictures, results and available...
This! You're gonna love it! The cars are incredibly fast around the course and a ball to drive and the G-forces are addictive!
Pop over to SCCAForums and check in when you get a chance. There's a...
The pads that are on the car now have the numbers RR 01 ***SF. I can't make out the three middle letters/numbers. The middle * could be a 4 or H.
Anyone familiar with these by chance?
Dick, they don't make them in the HPS compound any more either. I'll do some checking around at some of the distributors. Pegasus no longer has those or the HP+.
I did talk to someone at Hawk that...
What are you using? It seems Hawk has discontinued the HP+ compound. Any other recommendations?
Thanks in advance.
Wow, sorry to hear that. Hope you get it back together soon.
George, what happended to the car?
I was hoping the same thing, Pete. Unfortunately Ben and I are not going to be of any help. He just landed a new gig in Seattle and will not make it. I'm also probably not going to make it.
Exactly the same thought I had. I would also appreciate the explanation.
Joe, I'd be very interested in that radiator! Gus and I have already been discussing plans for a new aluminum radiator for the car. We didn't have any issues at all keeping the car cool at Toledo...
Thanks to everyone for the input. I do appreciate the help
I'm going to get rid of it. I'm not buying that the oil cooler helping disperse the air that's trapped in the oil. That's what should be...
My 84 VanDiemen currently has an oil cooler. I'm thinking about getting rid of it. Any of you guys currently run one? If so, why/why not?
Thanks in advance for the help.
Geoff
BTW, the...
