Soon to be 7 vees.

Michael- please remember that this is regional racing. Very laid back and very fun. An hour to add some gas and check lugs isn't too tough. Maybe hit the bathroom too. The...

Any suggestions for how to plan the sessions for co-drivers? This would be my first time co-driving for this race. I'm thinking one driver to do the 20min practice, and the other (and race starter)...

Back when I was in fsae a long time ago, we switched from a 600 to 400cc. The inlet restrictor chokes out at a lower rpm for the 600. If I remember correctly, we were about even in power with the...

$325 paid by check, 5 sessions including two races. :thumbsup:

Sure enough, I swapped them around. I looked at my notes again when I disassembed them, and I had AA/D. I don't know what I was thinking when I assembled them. I was dead tired after getting the...

Yeah, I'm worried I accidently swapped them around while the shock was apart. I figured apexspeed would probably know what would be the most logical.

I tore apart my rear Fox shock to see/document what was in it. I'm learning that FV is a different beast than a tradition car. What looks to be opposite on a vee is actually OK. So, I'm looking for...

I was thinking a Harley engine. Keep with the air cooled concept. Also, there are plenty of people buying Harleys and I wouldn't consider them in the same catagory as the race bikes. More of an...

I would love to here more about these cars. I have what was originally a '92 Vista. I'm not sure how much is similar to the original Bushwackers. The original nose is different than the Predator,...

I'm glad you guys don't know what they are! I finally measured one and it is 83mm, 1200 big bore cylinders. I guess I'll put them on Samba.

Back to discussion about legal pistons...

I looked over the pistons again and see no other marks than what is seen on the photos. Any ideas?

Tad

Here what's on the pistons. Inside: 5191 and c18

How do you tell the difference between the different brand pistons? I have a nice set of old pistons that don't have any brand markings, only a few cast numbers and some stamped numbers on the top....

Bill is right. No real chance of single race groups. Actually, it is the opposite that we have to worry about. Two vees show up and they throw us in with SRF. After just saying this outload, we...

Cool. It does look like others have the same idea. I still like the idea to keep it simple. At a minimum, all we need to do is pick a date and we all show up. However, I would definately be...

When and where are the FV's racing this year in Cendiv? I don't think it is too late to work on some plan to get more than one FV out to the track. In the shadow of Beeler, maybe a small WI vs. IL...

Here's my 2 cents (yeah I'm cheap, I race a vee.):

FormulaF(ord) is the ultimate class.

After saying that, the future of FV:
Keep it on life support until it dies. (i.e. no major rule...

And don't forget about the super tour, showcase nationals, etc... Let's divide the national series into two different types of nationals??? If we put it them in perceived order:

super tour...

OMG. I just saw one of these on display next to the road on my way to work. I turned around to see who's formula first it was. It's not quite a...

Thanks for the info guys. Also, do I need to get a grease gun for the zerks? Or, can I just pack the bearings during assembly and be good to go.

Tad

Being new to FV, I was looking for advise on what's the "norm" for fluids. Gear oil, Engine oil, Brake fluid, grease.

If I had to run tomorrow, I would most likely run what I ran in the fords. ...

I know this isn't F1000, but I'm impressed with the potential of motorcycle engine powered cars. The engine noise matches the noise I hum in my helmet as I drive my antique FF1600! Turn in up!
