My first Mysterian had a cable shifter. It was very bulky but worked well. It used two cables, large one for the fore and aft movement and a small one to rotate the hockey stick left to right. The...

I use a 20ft non vee nose trailer for my vee and golf cart. It is a snug fit but it fits. I take the nose off the Vee and there is about 10 inches between the front of the vee and back of the golf...

For all of you saying this rule is black and white I am not so sure. As with the photo I showed of my car it is not a straight measurement. No idea what type of exhaust Laura had.

After many...

All true about the rule as written and very easy to measure on a straight pipe coming out of the body work.

Look at my photo above of my current exhaust that uses a 90 degree. My way of...

So how would you measure the Vortechs that have the curved exhaust pipe. They way I checked mine when I bought the car was measuring to the back of the pipe where my arrow is pointing, which was...

B Farnham,

I am not talking down to anybody, but 1 car in class is dying in my book. Yes all of open wheel racing is suffering. I am not bringing up the "gold old days", just answering your...

Vee health is very much a geographic thing now days. Just because there is a draw at the runoffs does not mean the class is healthily.

You asked for statistics, this is the best I can come up...

There is really no right answer the question. I think everybody does a little something different to achieve the same result.

My general settings have worked well for every make of Vee I have...

Looks like a fun project. Excellent looking car as well. What does it use for a engine?

Just my experience, but Brad/ Primus (his company) is trust worthy. Brad personally kept me (and the team running me) in the 2004 Cooper series when we ran out of money before the last 2 races....

The spec racers are going through their next engine change starting in 2015 (I think). The new motor if I remember right is a 1.6l. Ford duratech. From what I hear they will be a little quicker. Gen...

Yep looks like the Fox shocks I had on my mysterian many years ago. Good shocks.

Bad seal in the fuel cap? Maybe try putting a little air (very little) pressure to the fuel cell vent and see if you hear it leak out somewhere.

Just a thought.

You have a Speads right? If your wheel nuts are like what my Speads DSR had, Rilltech might be about your only option. The ones my DSR used were one piece with the conical centering piece made into...

Just send me a email at darrenbrown97@tx.rr.com I will send you my phone number.

Formula 2,

Feel free to pm or email me if you want more detailed information about the DSR stuff. Might be easier to just talk about it so I can answer some questions directly for you. I can...

Good budget starting points. If you shop around and wanted a top shelf DSR you can find some WF-1 Stohrs around the $50k. I have saw some under that.

Here is the skinny on running a DSR. I...

One other thing is motors. Some people run stock engines and others will run a fully built race motor. A full race GSXR is not cheap, but damn do they run good. Either way despite what some say, the...

I have had a DSR (Speads chassis) a year ago. I ran it for two years. All my other cars have been Fords or Continentals. I loved the class and the car, but it just cost too much money. Too really...

What is even more impressive is the first four cars are all different makes and all with in 3 tenths on a four mile track.

I just bought four pushrods from Joe. He sent them to me with out payment to make sure they fit my needs before I sent the check (which should be there today or tomorrow Joe).
He is excellent to...

Yes I do run a 22" tire rear. That gearing with my built 04 motor put me at a little over 11,000 rpm in 6th gear just coming off the oval at turn 1.

I do not have any mph number because my wheel...

In my DSR Speads (GSXR) I used a front sprocket 16 and rear of 43. It was almost perfect. I would assume the F 1000 would be really close.

Hope that helps

Darren

Just saw the other replies, Thanks a bunch for the additional information.

I have a second frame that I am going to start working on. I was torn between building it into a DSR or the F 1000. I...

Mike thanks for the repley and information

Another question about side pods. Is there any min. or max. size to them? Mine are fairly small in height and width, much like a 90 or 92 VD.

...

I have been lost in all the threads about F 1000. I know there was a intent for this class to be coverted continentals. I realize the class rules drifted away slightly. I have not had time to read or...
