any time a very low priced product is better than other products in a company's line-up, and would take up the available manufacturing capacity while delivering less profit, its doomed.

I want the earplug concession
Just avoid the Waffle House on Lynhurst.... Last time I was in Indy I got in too late to find decent food, went to that place. They had to unlock the door to let me in, and lock it behind me. This...
look for a used AIM system like an XG log. HAs shift lights and 4 programmable idiot lights that could all be OP. I've seen them for as low as $200. Theres a used AIM systems FB page.
we certainly don't have a problem with it in the southwest. But the east coast is a whole nuther ballgame. IMHO, digital dashes (specifically data loggers) make it possible to spot engine problems...
If anyone questions you about buying AVGAS, just say you're putting it in an ultralight.
For fenced airfields, go there after the FBO closes and the airport staff are gone for the day. Find the...
Doug - if you want more entires, I suggest you include Pinto powered cars through 1996, heck, you could go to 97 for that matter - not a lot of them out there anyway. You'll probably pull in a few...
IIRC you and I were both at SVRAs Open Wheel World Challenge in 2017, and that was a great event, even if it was flawed to a large extent by SVRAs goofy grouping and classing schemes, and renting a...
are there any left as FCs? Seems like most got converted to FF, along with no small number of DB3s. Almost a unicorn, like the 97VD.
FSV was essentially FC (the 1100cc former F3 cars long gone) when I started teching in 1982. At the time it was all FSV cars, air cooled, water cooled flat bottom, and full ground effect.
RT5s...
Perhaps. You submit your experience to Jeanette and she has an "algorithm" to place people. There's no difference in track time or events between groups, just different classroom focus and in blue...
To summarize what's on the website:
UofV is one of the bigger drivers schools out there. Right now its the 21st and 22nd of January at Buttonwillow. We usually get 120+ cars that we divide into...
you might also sign up for the University of VARA at Buttonwillow in a few weeks
you will also need to consider tongue weight, possibly weight distribution hitches, and how much mountain towing you will be doing. You might want to rent the biggest u-haul trailer (which is not...
From a resistance standpoint, I can't see why. A higher resistance would limit current through the output driver. But thats only half of the equation.
How does the reactance of the two devices...
ballast resistors are usually used because cars have to start in really cold conditions. I don't know about bikes, but I doubt people expect them to start at 0 degrees.
Your congressman is not always motivated by the monetary aspect. I suspect Mr. Crenshaw would be interested in why they saw fit to drill into a metal part that was obviously properly marked (looking...
Stupidity is not the exclusive realm of the government.
Years ago I shipped a bearing carrier assembly to one of the gearbox guys. I very carefully packed the thing into the smallest box I...
you can always go with an open trailer that has a storage box/air dam/tire rack on the front like a lot of dirt track guys use.
there seems to be three different types - nitrile which is Premier, Eagle, ATS, and they are definitely degraded by fuel in the cell. With aircraft you have long, thin wing tanks without internal...
Fuel is a solvent. Cells are made of polymers. Fuel resistant polymers, but subject to degradation over time in the presence of fuel. Pump it out, store it as dry as possible, keeping in mind...

Eye, it all depends on the location. When I was in NC I raced with you guys because the vintage clubs on the east coast wouldn't accept a F2000 FC. I spoke to a couple of them back in 2016, but at...
And it wouldn't be legal, strictly speaking. But we don't protest much in vintage, and if you showed up at a vintage event, you might, once every couple of years, find another AC FSV there. You're...
Dude, take a chill pill. It wasn't a comment on your character, it was a more about not knowing the history of the class, and not even a hard poke at that. I get it, you buy something, it comes...
Yeah "originally from Haas" for an air cooled SFV with a quaife and 5 gears.... I don't believe quaife's were invented until the air cooled cars were gone.
Remember that in standard VW configuration the trans is in front of the motor, and the shift rods are where they need to be for a standard H-pattern. Now, turn it around and they are on the wrong...

That 7-up car is one of the most beautiful of all formula cars. great design, great lines, great paint. Before all the aero doo-dads and raised noses and excessive size...
On hot days i put my underwear and suit in my RV freezer. Just before I belt up my wife drops a couple of bags of blue ice gel beads down the back of my suit, just above my kidneys. Lasts about a...
I thought all of Coleman's stuff went to Pegasus.
Part of the OP's problem is location. If you want expertise in race car stuff you have to go where it's made - so Charlotte and Indianapolis. ...
If the cutouts in the lower body are for radius rods, that probably indicates a very short wheelbase - perhaps something with a sideways non-automotive motor. Could be from a Malibu GP type of...
