Get Mopar Combustion Chamber Cleaner. It will come right off and the parts will look brand new. I've used it multiple times and it works great.

Good idea. Here it is. It will look better by spring!

I just wanted to say a final "Thank you" to everyone that took the time to respond with their advice. I didn't end up where I thought I would when I initially started searching for a car. After...

Every time I come on these forums I see guys that are more ambitious and much more talented than I am. It's really bad for my self-esteem. I purposely chose friends that are a little "dim" so this...

I like the way you phrased that!

Thanks Jim. Super helpful.

I really appreciate everyone that took the time to respond.

I kind of narrowed in on the F1000/P2 class because I like the cars so much. But I'm reconsidering that idea based on all your...

Great post. Thanks for taking the time to write this up. Love the picture too. You and I actually think kind of alike (lucky you). I already have a 8020 sim rig, Fanatec DD wheel, etc. I've had...

Thanks Mark. This is my fifth race car, just my first time in SCCA.

I think it's a great idea. If you have a one ton diesel then buy a big trailer, but if you have a towing limit get the short trailer. I'll be doing the same thing so I can tow it behind my Sprinter...

This is from when they had the start where they had to run to the car. For a few races they tried a procedure where the mechanic had to "hike" the keys to the driver like the center in American...

Good thoughts. The reaching across the car is something I hadn't really thought of.

I have a 42x54 shop so I'm pretty good on space. I'm going to order a 4 post lift later today so I can put...

I thought about that and if it wasn't for ****bags possibly stealing my stuff at a hotel I would probably do that. I'd never worry about other guys at the track but I'd like to try some other tracks...

That's awesome. Thanks so much for the pictures! I love the tire rack idea too.

Well that's fun! Do you have the cars in Minneapolis now?

I think the 8.5' is probably going to relegate me back to my pickup truck. I'm leaning towards a 7' if I can make it work. Thanks for taking the time to chime in!

I have a pickup truck but I really want to make the Sprinter work since mine is a conversion and I could sleep/eat in there too so if a 7' can work I'm going to really push for it. Thanks for the...

I know it's going to be tight. Thanks for the input!

Did you draw that picture just for me? If so you may be the nicest guy I've ever met. Thanks for the input. Very helpful!

Thanks Mark. This is exactly what I was hoping for. The WF1 is on the top of my list. I'll be sure to check everything about the specific trailer and car but glad to hear my idea isn't crazy.

Yeah, I considered that. It looks like the P2 cars may or may not fit. The rules allow a significant range of widths. I don't want to be the first guy to try this and regret my decision but I'd...

Is anyone using a 7x16 trailer for a FA, FB, or P2 car? I'd love something small and light enough to pull behind my Sprinter van but not sure if this is a workable option. They pull so much easier...

I think they're a cool car. I hope they do well and are around for a long time. The videos I watched are pretty impressive.

I really enjoyed watching the video. It made me really focus on purchasing a used Stohr car vs another brand. My phone conversation with Dave was another huge factor. Fun to see some of the inside...

Interesting. I looked at the other picture too. I didn't know that was possible.

?
Thanks Larry. Good advice. When I bought my first modified I got a cheap one. A year later I got a good one and started running up front and winning. I might have a hard time running at the...

Thanks to everyone who responded. Every one of you contributed something to my though process and I really appreciate it.

Am I being foolish by not considering an open wheeled car? After...

I appreciate the feedback. The price of getting a SRF with a sequential tranny is my biggest issue. And I think they're ugly but I'm still open minded. I'm also thinking a little more about an...

Great idea. It's going to be a long winter!

I spoke with the GM at Stohr yesterday. What a great guy. Very helpful. And I love to hear your comments about doing your own rebuilds. I'm capable of doing that and enjoy the process. I love...

Thanks Mark. Your argument is very logical and something I'll have to think about. I love your feedback about the reliability! That's really what I'm looking for.

Thanks Jim. One of the things I really want is the sequential transmission and I agree with you about the price of the GEN3 which is more than I'd like to spend. SRF certainly sounds like the way...

Thanks for the idea. I'm more of an "own it" kind of guy. I enjoy working on this stuff so I'd be missing one of the fun parts. It would certainly be an idea my wife would support!

Right now I just want to get back on the track and run with some other similar cars. I'll probably only run Brainerd in MN and Road America in Wisconsin. I still have young kids so if I make it...

For reference guys, here's what I was hoping to get into. A Stohr does seem to be out of my price range. This car I could afford but may be problematic being that it's an "orphan".

It sounded...

Hi Guys/Gals,

I'm new to this site and the whole sports racer thing. I've been trying to read everything I can find but still have some questions. I rand dirt modifieds for years and then a 1996...
