I am testing my F1000 at Roebling Road on Tuesday March 17 and Wednesday March 18 with Momentum Motorsports. I have some additional slots available. $600 for the day for a nearly private test. Let me...

Rather than using a secondary compressor to get the 2000 psi tanks up to 4500 in your bottle, I rent a 6000 psi nitrogen tank from Airgas. It is a specialty item meaning that you have to special...

I plan to race em all! (except one wedding...) Very excited about this season! Come join us.

Great question. Many (most) of us in F1000 have moved over to run with FRP. We will be announcing the 2020 schedule in December but expect races in VIR, Road Atlanta, Barber, as well as NJMP, Pitt...

or come to race F1000 with the NAF1000 group and don't worry about the stupid GCR changes. We use the current 2018 rulebook and ignore all the FA crap. We're getting ore racers joining us and having...

I dont think any FB has done 169 at VIR. Ever. The fastest section is the back straight and I've never seen an FB over the high 140s. Never a 150. I think Daytona was the highest trap speeds the FBs...

John,
I can tell you from personal experience that a) my car is by a major manufacturer and is quite safe to be on track and b), when I go wheel to wheel with an 016 and make contact, they drive...

Here is my letter to the CRB. I encourage you to write them so they know the range of opinions.

Letter ID Number: #26214 Title: Do not merge FB into FA, pleaseClass: FBRequest: Board members,
I...

[/QUOTE]
FB's numbers, as John showed in a post in this thread, have been down for a while and declining. SCCA has too many classes, pure and simple. SCCA cannot sustain itself with classes that...

BTW, I think the choices in the poll are absurd and obviously leading. They are not the only choices for FB and only show the bias of the poll maker.

You misunderstand. I am not suggesting that they are trying to move F3 and F4 into club racing (although that will eventually happen on its own) , merely that the by running these series they have...

Why do some have a bug up their ass with regards shifting. Modern cars have modern shifting. Newer technology allows lots of options with Geartronics being the high end, but lots of other lower cost...

So much to do, so little time. I cam into FB from FM. Wanted a car with modern suspension, modern aero, and modern transmission (read this as paddle shifting). I didn;t want to drive another old...

Wondering what tires everyone was using at the runoffs. Having run the American Racers all year due to the NAF1000 requirements I was wondering what everyone feels is the fastest tire these days....

I ran my Firman FB this weekend at Watkins Glen using the same engine that went in this April and has run all season. Set a new FB track record...on old tires. All that has gone into this car all...

please explain

Just a question - if FB requires a stock engine, can a cam chain tensioner be legal?

Gary,
Can you share what advantage you are seeing in HP or in top speed?

I have been wondering if there is an advantage to running a lighter oil. Our oil is not just around the engine moving parts but also flows throughout the tranny. Would moving a lighter oil provide...

Alright so I'd like to hear everyone's opinion on what oil they are using and what they are seeing on wear. How often do you change it, how dirty is it, etc. We can't change the engine build but we...

Guys, so now that you have run on the gen 2 tire, what is the feedback? How does it compare to last years Hoosier?

CAR NO LONGER AVAILABLE

My 2015/2016 Firman (JR's Runoff's winning car) is available this year as a rental or as an arrive & drive for the new pro series. I am working with Momentum Motorsports to...

Nick,
Will they be attending and providing support at the races?

Beautiful days. But your record is still intact.. Only 2 FBs. Hot and the track was a bit oily.

FB is group 6

Rob,
Someone's got to take that track record from you...I haven't been there for a few years but you never know.

Actually no. We are referring to how many FB (F1000) cars will be there. So far it may only be me. Trying to drum up some competition.
Doug

Anyone going to the NARCC runoffs at Lime Rock on Aug 26& 27? Prob going but love to have a few cars to run against

I think we're up to 13!

I'm coming. Leave me a spot next to your rig... (hope the car starts)
Doug

Looks like you have the original open diff. My understanding is that it came from a British Ford truck unit. I have disassembled these and the issue is keeping grease in them. Your housing has been...

Congrats to Quin and the Momentum team for developing this exciting new driver. I expect to hear a lot abut Quin in the next few years. Good luck in Europe!

We are still limited to just a few engines. If we want to make this easier why don't we open up the ECU rule? Look at the specs for the new 2016 Kawi: "The 2016 Kawasaki ZX-10R has traction control...

With the runoffs over and a few fall races left on the schedule up here in the NE, it's time to start thinking about what 2016 brings for FB. In particular: will we continue to have the discussion...

Those speeds are crazy. In a tube frame car! Congrats to all. I am am jealous up here in NY.

Any idea what speeds the cars are hitting?

Would someone be kind enough to post some info on testing and quals. Dying to hear about itnfrom way up north....
Doug

I was not only referring to JR. He is a great racer, don't get me wrong, and he has excellent support in N Belling but that car is just not that slippery and if you watch it pass the best GSXR...

So Kawis have started to win or set fastest laps at many or most of the recent events on the East Coast. Is it time to institute the restrictor rule and bring parity back to FB/F1000? If we expect to...

I am looking at replacing the open diff I currently have with a LSD. The two units that will fit, from what I can tell are Quaife QDF7ZR, http://www.quaifeamerica.com/qdf7zr-0.html and the Williams...

This build is nothing short of spectacular. My only comment would be driver sightlines. I personally like my dash to be as high as possible so I can see the shift LEDs easily. You may want to...

Gary,
My control unit is mounted in the cockpit, just about under my knees. I installed it where the previous owner had mounted a camera control unit as it is about the same size. It is covered by a...

Jason,
Looks like you got the gremlins out of the Citation. Nice work.
Doug

Jason,
Where did you get the clamps holding the bottle? I'm doing a similar conversion.
Doug

Jason,
Post some pix. I'd love to see how you did it. Considering it myself.

Coop,
That pic looks like one of our drier moments, Mid-Ohio perhaps? I have been on an intense weight reduction plan and expect to be at about 1020 come the new year so I am leaning towards 7s &...

I am planning on buying new lighter wheels (Jongbloeds) and I wanted to get the group's take on the advantages/disadvantages of 7s and 9s vs 8s and 10s. I have an Elan DP04 which is an FE front with...

Jerry, Nick and Jay,
I am with you 100% on this. As someone who switched to this class to be in a vibrant, growing, modern formula car, I now find find myself at a disadvantage with what was the...

Jay,
We all appreciate your time and energy and no one should be attacking anyone here on the forum. It is a place to discuss and perhaps disagree but not attack. That said, I for one do not keep up...
