I also am running an FC with the same calipers in vintage racing. I've found that any name brand, DOT 4 synthetic, from Auto Zone or equivalent works fine. I race at Road America exclusively, and...

I owned three different F-5000 cars back in the day....Lola T-190, March 73a, Lola T-332, and like everyone else we sold them, almost gave them away. I would love to have any one of them.

Put in the tallest Mk-9 gear you can get your hands on. May not be perfect for the road course, but you won't be too far off. The main thing is to get the most out of the 2.5 mile oval experience. ...

I lobbied to have FC removed from Group 5 (F-1, F-5000, F-2, 2L Sports Racers) and put in Group 4, for the Hawk/Redman event at Road America. This makes so much sense, and thankfully, this...

You are going to be grouped with Indy cars, F-1, F-5000, F-A, F-2, F-SV, Indy Lights. It will still be one of the most fun events you will ever experience in racing.

I was there last year, in my...

I've worked on a Can-Am car with a 494 Chevy, Center seat Can-Am, F-5000, F-Atlantic and never used anything even close to those big numbers. Having said that, you do have to follow the...

200, 300, 400, 500.....why?

I competed at Indy this past June, and it was a fantastic event. Your FF would be eligible as is just about anyone with a check. Maybe they will tighten things up a bit after they about ran out of...

"I would love to go - HOWEVER - I read the rules - how does a FC 95 Van Diemen get in ? - It seems to stop entry after 1979 wing cars and some pre-73/81 for FF - Advices ?"

Sandy, at Quicksilver has some experience with these engines.

Thank you David for sharing this. Good stuff. I owned a March 73A F-5000 car. Was a 731 tub, probably the same tub as used in F-2 and F-B as well.

This car has been sold.

I've always found the run to Canada Corner is a little faster than going into 5, so they could have seen over 180 in testing.

I'm having trouble uploading pictures. Will give it another try.

Rare March 83V (one of three). I've owned this car for 25 years, complete history, original logbook. Last run in 1996. Car is currently being prepped for vintage racing. This model shares many parts...

I have the custom mount/drive, that attaches to the VW head, that the mechanical metering unit attaches to. Includes the mount, beltdrive pulley, tach gearbox, large pulley that is driven off the...

Thanks for that Keith, a senior moment. I had my Swift/Toyota on my mind. The engine I am considering is NOT a crossflow head. I like the idea of being able to use the same exhaust/intake as was used...

It's my understanding that the Eurospec head is listed in the GCR as an approved head for SCCA racing. The engine I received a proposal for would be 2.0L, head (same layout as the old Rabitt),...

I recently had an interesting dialogue with www.eurospecsport.com about the possibility of installing a new watercooled vw in my March 83V Super Vee. They can build a new engine, with new webers,...

Chris, good memories. Personally, I'm lovin the whole vintage scene.

Bob, the form indicates one must have completed a school, or three events in the past 12 months. What about someone like myself who has competed continuously for over 40 years, but only competed in...

Apparently Road America will be running every aspect of the May and July vintage events at the track (which was pretty much the case anyway). Driver license?

Speedtv has the video clip of Dario driving the car at Indy in September. I was at Indy for Pole Day in '67, and got to see Clark and Hill in Gasoline Alley, and later on the track. I have old 8mm...

Chris, I believe that the hose ends are different, as the wall thickness is not the same as the braided hose. At least that is the case with some of the brands. With the correct ends, you can...

We just changed the oil.... honest. We did go thru a period where the flywheel bolts kept shearing. Bertil changed to the larger bolts used in his Toyota Atlantic engines and we never had a problem...

Steve Knapp at Elite Engines told me he will service watercooled SV engines when things slow down during the winter months. Bertil told me he sold some of his inventory to Steve. I ran a March and...

My Swift DB-4 is 150, on my RT-5 I think we used 120, or close to that. My Lola 332 had knockoffs and we just got a bigger hammer.
