It looks like the website already lists them as in stock and ready to ship. Are those from 2023?

You mean, what is your kart racing experience level?

Spoke to Hoosier Midwest today, and they confirmed the following tires can be ordered:

$259 R20 20.5x7.0-13 front (#43164)
$312 R25B 22.5x7.2-13 rear (#43305)

I was also told 43305 will only...

The photos clearly show the damage going through the film. Regardless, Intercomp only puts the film on the top. Damage is on the top and bottom.

Intercomp also confirmed that the film should...

I recently upgraded to a set of Intercomp scales, and was surprised to see how banged up they were upon arrival. There are gouges, dents, deep scratches everywhere, black marks along the sides of...

Has anyone else had any luck with the Proform 67650 scales? Is the smaller pad size a problem?

For another $450, both the Intercomp SW500 and Longacre AccuSet have a standard 15x15x2.5 size pad. ...

Absolutely. You'll be stuck in CM with all us Formula Ford people, but we will welcome you just the same. I think there was even a Vee at nationals last year.

I also co-drive a C5 Z06 in CAM-S...

I looked into doing a top speed event in a FF a few years back. They said DOT legal tires were required.

We (CM drivers) already run the 20.5x7 FC front (43163, now 43164) on our front FF wheels.

It's a great tire that works just fine. Sure, more tire vendor competition would be nice, but let's...

This page lists it as Medina, unless you changed it out.

I would love to try that kit out...

I think Penske refers to these as "Eyelet Bushings". Basically a rod end spacer/reducer for the shock attachment point.

Yeah, this really isn't a thing in Wisconsin anymore. People are going about things like nothing happened.

I use tearoff for Solo as well. Lots of gravel gets kicked up during the runs, and it is far cheaper than replacing the shield.

There really isn't any reason not to use one. It's cheap (and...

I've seen lots of grey market, questionable import history, undisclosed damage, and/or title/lien problems. If you are looking for a legitimate street car that can be titled and insured, I would be...

Nope. My 43163 says A2500.

I don't think the "A2500" has anything to do with the item number or the R25B compound. If you look at the Hoosier West catalog, and it says 46163. The main Hoosier...

Looking at the Hoosier website, the FC fronts are now listed as 43164. Mine are certainly 43163. I also see references to 46164 in old threads. Maybe they change the item numbers around from year...

Well, A mod isn't an "unlimited" class, there are basic rules (like weight, size, safety, etc). But, putting some wings and a small turbo on a kent/LD200 could be done safely and within the rules.

Here's the thread Barry is referencing. People wanted to remove panels to cut weight, but other people want the SCCA to review anyone with modified bodywork.
...

Tom Remedios provided my keys in the past. However, FrankRizzo has claimed to have written some code to produce license keys for our loggers. If that doesn't work, I would contact Cosworth...

Wow, what a terrible idea. Every person that has any sort of modified bodywork now has to get it approved? I would say that at least 50% of the 94-98 Van Diemens have some type of modification to...

Would you mind sharing some detail about your SoloStorm hardware setup? I'm having a hard time trying to find out where to mount the tablet, camera, and GPS in a secure yet accessible spot.

"Exact pricing to be confirmed upon completion of the prototype."

Where? Post the exact wording that says this.

Side panels are not "side intrusion panels". These are two totally different things. In the photos of the Reynard, the side panels are fiberglass...

Maybe to make minimum weight, but I'm sure that can be accomplished by other means.


That doesn't sound very aerodynamic to me.


Let's go to the book!


So it meets the GCR's minimum...

Re-reading your post again, I think this might be a larger concern. If your car came off its stands when you were testing the brakes, someone could have gotten hurt.

This talk of adding fuel is interesting. I run a one gallon tank and can do eight runs no problem.

How could you possibly get less than 8-10 mpg? Even if you idle that gas away, wouldn't the car...

Probably true. But you could remove the head's rear freeze plug and tap the hole. And if that still wasn't big enough, you could machine it to the size needed.

Is there a reason this isn't the standard setup? Is there a downside to moving the main coolant return and thermostat to the rear of the head?

I assume it depends on the design of the individual...

Aren't you describing a FE? The sports racer bodywork is literally a bolt on package.

Wouldn't the overflow can catch all that?


Same for me. Idle is more than enough to get my car up to temp (water and oil).

Some of the reviews say they are plastic, but Jegs clearly lists the material as aluminum.

Interesting. It would be nice to save $300...

It does not.

For road racing, I'm going to have a replica of the original made (but with the proper dimensions and built to the current SCCA rule book). But that's next year's budget...

I ended up going with RCI's one gallon cell. It has a built in check value on the vent line fitting, and the fuel cap is directly on the cell (so no filler neck to require a check valve). No leaks,...

I totally understand that it's impossible to tell the difference between the fuel injected Honda and the carbureted Ford. And I certainly don't expect them to memorize the numbers 1110 and 1060.
...

Why would tech be asking you to tell them the rules? Shouldn't they know what cars should weigh what amounts?

Maybe some background on the issue would help. Can you explain what prompted this...

I think you would need the SoloDL for that.

What kind of telemetry does the Radical have? If you wanted more than the GPS estimated data from the Solo, you would have to make sure the system is...

This might be the better thread.

You could run SoloStorm off the AiM data, as long as you send it through RaceCapture/Pro first, right?

I would assume the seller has to return the engine before selling the chassis. It would be up to you to get a new lease with Honda. If you plan on racing in the spec series, the contract is...

Unless my adapter's built in overflow chamber was modified by Van Diemen.

I suppose I could answer this question by dumping all the oil from the holding tank and pouring it into the overflow to...

Which is why the rules say containers and not container. I'm talking about running my oil holding tank overflow and crankcase breather into one overflow.

And the transmission pigtail is still an...

As I try and get my car into compliance, I had a few additional questions. Here's what I see in the rules:


Let's talk cooling first. The GCR says one pint for overflow, and then the Solo rules...

'97-'98 Van Diemen is the same. And Pegasus only has AN6 to 5/16 male.

Here's their write up on why this is such a difficult part...

Say a course is a mile long, and you average 60mph, that's what, 2 miles a gallon? Considerably less than rickb99's FC. I'm thinking my car is closer to 10 mpg. I suppose it depends on how much...

At Nationals, we pay $175 for six runs. The slowest CM run was just over 60 seconds. So yes, less than 40 minutes.

I am considering replacing my leaking 5 gallon fuel bladder with something smaller. Something off the shelf would be ideal, or I suppose I could have someone custom-make a smaller bladder and cover....

I've seen a few generic brake pad threads, but I'd like to hear what other LD19 people are using. From what I've seen so far, there's only three autocross-specific options on the market today:
...

I carry them exactly like chrisw52, between the tires and trailer sides, strapped to the tires. His setup is almost identical to mine, just with a larger trailer deck.

Sure. There's about an inch of room on either side of the tires, so you have to be slow/careful. But I usually just roll the car up by hand (need to get a winch!).

I also have a pretty low ride...
