Kinda depends on how high your head is above that reference point. I've had good luck with little bitty ones less than an inch high. (That is: Going from buffetting that blurred my vision to pretty...

John Paul,

I like your thinking but as the word Manual is not both singular...

My interpretation would be that you would have to complete the motorcycle too and then take out the engine. (And don't forget to write the workshop manual.) Knock yourself out!

I think you'll get passed before you burn a valve!!

Backing up a few posts now to Stan...I hope the rev limiter being discussed isn't the tattletale one of a few years ago. I don't want an errant...

To keep the discussion up to date on rules, here's a clip from the latest GCR:

Anti-Gravity 12 Cell works for me $199 and 2 lbs. Just don't let it run all the way down After 2 perfect years I left the master on...oops.

What makes you think the stock water pump is inadequate? Dozens of F1000s successfully use it without trouble. The problem may be in your radiator, ducting or water plumbing.

I've got a Davies...

Have you considered the easiest and cheapest alternative? Change the lockout reverse spring, either the detent spring or the plunger spring or both. It shouldn't take a gorilla to operate reverse...

Anybody with a lathe can turn down the end of a similar fastener and cut a groove, but that 's the hard way.

If the published USF1000 2015 schedule doesn't seem to accommodate your 2015 plans please let me know. Western drivers are not surprisingly feeling left out and are seeking inclusion or alternatives....

I'd be inclined to look at the mfgr specs for the tires you use and see what rim width they recommend be used with them.

OK Call me stupid for believing the SCCA when they told me restrictors would be required 1/1/15. I sure feel that way after committing yet another $5K+ for a new GSXR with restrictors. Sure I can...

The only reason to run a muffler is to reduce noise. I've heard of mufflers that have no negative effect on HP, many do however, but they all add weight. If you pass sound and weight regulations, and...

Keep in mind as you compare RunOffs trap speeds that the Firmans were dragging F1 Monaco level rear wings and that Larry Vollum's car is significantly overweight.

Shall we start thinking about a...

If there hasn't been enough warning about the Laguna's Red Monsters, here's one more!

I've seen it with my own eyes at Laguna today. All black, running fast with a dry sumped Kawasaki and Geartronics installed. Sounded good and quiet with a big muffler.
I'll let those in the know...

I've mounted mine on top of the previously required steel plate (itself attached with high strength Velcro), drilling two 5/8" diameter holes through the steel plate to provide clearance for the...

Finally figured out how to splice two videos together. Except for the start it's just me driving around PIR. Just fast enough to secure the Western Conference Championship.

Looking forward to...

Larry dominated no doubt! Gary and I had a very close race Saturday that would have been even better except for a couple of mistakes. (That waving black bordered white flag sure looked like a...

I've found that if the engine idle speed setting (throttle stop adjustment) is too low then blipping is sometimes insufficient to effect a downshift. If this seems a possibility, then up your idle...

Absent an explanation of the need for FB engine restrictors here's what I think with the limited information I have:

This is a solution in search of a problem.

Have there been runaway...

In order to prepare a comment to the CRB I think the dyno test results should be made available. How else can we make an informed opinion, except with information. Without raw data any comment is...

I went home with a piston cracked almost in two, across the crown, (inline with the wrist pin). Don't know exactly why this happened. But it slowed suddenly in the oval and blew a little oil out of...

Thanks to you both, Eric and Glenn for the kind words. Time to get everything perfect and see what the car and I can really do. Can't wait for the next time!

It looks like a redesign is required! Data boxes at Fontana fell off the steel plates, I hear in both cases. Fortunately without injury to anyone or a car, so far as I know!

To whomever is...

The JDR drives like a dream. Now I have to learn how to keep a Suzuki motor going. In only my third session in the car it ran only 1/2 second slower than my best in the FA! Definitely a sweet chassis!

Has anyone actually had one of these data boxes magnetically attached to their car?
I'm concerned that with only a magnet holding it (yes I know there are great magnets) it will become a projectile...

First, if this question has been discussed somewhere in the 15 pages of this thread I've missed it, so please forgive me. Secondly, I apologize if this is clear to everyone else but me:

Any word on who was involved in the pace car related crash(s)?

I arrived at the track just after the start of 1st practice. The FBs of Panea and Osborne were both already at impound with considerable oil on them and fire damage. Pancea's looked worse with burned...

Jake,

In my FA I figure top gear 7 to 8 mph higher than Laguna (entry to T10).

Good Luck,
Randy

In case your still looking for gearing...I'll help how I can. In my FA I gear for 136mph top speed. Hope this helps. Good luck,

Randy Cook

Please only use ballast that is independently secured to the chassis. I wouldn't want 85 pounds of lead shot buried in a seat to become additional load on my wife's pelvis pushing against the lap...

You'll find very few users of Goodyear or Yokohama tires today. Try Hoosier and you'll have better luck. Also, which height of front tires, 20" or 22"?

RussMcB,

Thanks for the pictures.

What are those buildings nearby. (I hope they like race car sounds.)

Concrete blocks look like a big, nasty collision opportunity. Do these blocks line a drag strip?
