Mark, if you want some setup help in real time at events, I can help. My car is now officially gone and I don't have anything I "need" to drive for now :)

Before playing with alignment (which I...

Here you go...

You have to know the secret handshake...:D

Look forward to seeing everyone...don't hold my driving an AWD box against me, okay? :)

To correct one idea expressed: SCCA is NOT looking to add new Solo classes. The rampant expansion of past years has led us to a point where class consolidation is more top of mind. Look at the...

I'm hopeful the MAC and SEB, since they can't undo their initial mistake, at least table any discussion of further allowances until a built to the limit Vee with a top tier driver gives some...

I'm not going to have my car done. Tiger is going to take up all my free time for the next 6 weeks, I'll be lucky to make it to both events co-driving...more likely just the Tour :(

Not sure I'd call the CM index as "favorable", maybe average. Doesn't matter, I don't do calculator racing, too many variables which can skew results besides the most important: how well you drove.

George, I'll have more idea where I am with the Crow's events after this weekend. It may work out that I have the car at the interior guy's shop coincident with the Pro and Tour weekends. I'm not too...

I'm currently signed up for both, but am up against a big time crunch to get my Tiger completed for the 50th anniversary SUNI event June 30-July 4 in Colorado. It is likely I end up missing at least...

I suppose it would be possible to make a white "meatball" out of magnetic vinyl material, adhere it to the bodywork with low tack adhesive and then use magnetic numbers...

Just make sure you...

Getting the Vector on the list is cake...as has been pointed it out, it is fully within the spirit of CM.

Use this link, follow the prompts :)

I can't drive the CM car, yet. The extent of damage from my accident, particularly the acromion repair, is really putting lots of my life on hold, unfortunately. I am going to run my Porsche at a...

Did you try "search" on the FF board? When I was looking for MR for my RF88, I seem to remember there was a couple of threads on the topic for the earlier car. I ended up having to do the...

PAX? Don't care too much...I've been on all sides of the too soft/too hard spectrum (even back and forth and back in a 3 year period in FS...too soft, too hard, too soft LOL), so I just look at it as...

Plan is to run with CM next year...can't let you guys have all the fun! This year, I was just pleased to be able to be there and participate, given my bicycle accident and injuries.

Pru, is was...

What?!! Bummer.

I'm showing up Sunday night, taking all the SAC related body blows at the Town Hall on Monday and then driving a Mustang Shelby GT (car I used to own) in FS on Tues/Wed...then...

^Mark, it is hard to explain how fast AM actually is until you see the top car in the class run at Lincoln. You will be amazed.

Back on the Avons, Mike, it is good to hear they are wearing well...

Unfortunately, I won't be driving my CM car for a couple/few months, so I got nuthin' to add.

I like the Hoosiers. My fear is the super soft Avon is quicker and is toast in 30 runs...now, why...

Mark, that's the rev limiter I installed on my car, although some folks have had problems with the Pertronix.. At the time I decided I wanted a rev limiter, it was on sale for (edit: it was...

I've run just water wetter, no antifreeze. If there's no rule against glycol, I'll likely add a bit next time. But, doesn't antifreeze actually lower thermal capacity? If you're on the bubble, as far...

I think -0.75 would be a good starting point. You are going to have a couple of runs to get the klag buildup off the inner half of the tire to work through, before you know where you're at.

Mark, it was fun to drive your car again. That fifth run (the 32.6) was more about not screwing up than car, I believe...I just hit the marks and didn't lose too much time anywhere. I think your car...

Mark, champagne is for AFTER the race, not before! :D

Although, back in the day, I hear some LeMans racers also thought it was good DURING the race...;)

Mark, if we do some car swapping (as discussed), I should be able to help with feedback on what your car is doing. I haven't driven it in awhile, so my impressions will be fresh and in comparison to...

That's a good idea. I vote "yes" :D

Agree with comments...Dick, we'd be very sad to see you leave the class. :(

I have right at $11.5 into mine, not including the set of Panasports I just bought. It has good points, but the motor...

edited for lack of solo vee content :)

Indexing just flat out doesn't work with enough consistency or predictability to allow true and fair competition. The increased use in Solo is just an indication of how diluted the sport has become...

George, thanks for the report.

Nice job yesterday by the whole CM crew! Work has not allowed me any time to think about two day events with tows, unfortunately. I'll see about the June weekend,...

George, I can tell you I've never had better welcome party food at a Pro or Tour :thumbsup:

I do really enjoy the bbq Saturday night at the Packwood Pro, put on at the local firehouse by the...

Can't use a sprayer in the Pro format, unfortunately. You run 4 consecutive runs, 2 each side, with a very brief time gap between.

Without adding a fan, only thing you can do is make sure your...

Just as an update...

Neil, you were right on the money, new tires transformed the car. How much of it is due to the other changes I made (besides the rear springs, I also widened the front track...

Plan is to leave it, for the time being, and experiment by disconnecting a link, if indicated.

Neil, given that the Hyperco's are probably much truer to the stated rate than the cheapo springs...

How many have gone to no rear bar on their autocross cars? Why or why not?

I've just bumped my rear spring rates from 350# (which isn't really accurate, as one tested at 314# and the other at...

You guys are talking Runoffs, Mark was talking about Solo Nationals, I believe. :)

I'm not sure who has been the oldest autocross champ...but, Mark, you're nowhere close, even if you wait a...

As an update, the Pertronix I bought off Amazon still works fine, after a year. I mounted to the bulkhead, but interior, not engine bay, side.

Now that I'm used to the shifting required on my 4...

Chris, if Dave or any of your other friends are serious about a CM car, I could be talked out of mine. I seriously am considering selling the RF88 and replacing it with an earlier, outboard...

I'm going to actually put new tires on after the new year! And then I will wait for you to beat me...you're getting close enough, I'm sure it is just a matter of time :)

RE: Hoosier, tires and...

I guess that makes all of our life's easier...in terms of less choices to make and testing to do. I just hope Hoosier doesn't see this as a price hike opportunity for the soft autocross-friendly...

That's what I figured.

The pax deal is going to get a little tougher for us next year, but seeing as pax is pretty much on the fringe of any type of statistical relevance, I guess I don't care...

Eric, do you mean .9 off the top CM time?

Thinking back on it, I'll bet I did close to 40 events in 2006, when I was running my Z06 in SS. Biggest reason was there were a good number of weekends where I ran two events, due to my also...

...umm...Mark? 7 sites?

Even if you include stuff like Stockton Fairgrounds, the mini lot at Atwater and Santa Rosa airports funky figure 8's, I still can't get to 7...and only two of our sites...

another note...I can't find the Valvoline Speciality 10-30w anywhere...only the 20-50w seems to be available?

Bringing this one back to life...

I've been told Joe Gibbs synthetic racing oil has a good additive package for the Kent motor.
...

I always get asked "what's it go in it?"...when I tell them "Pinto", the look of disappointment is pretty amusing :D

22.44" on my copy of the spreadsheet.

You guys never got into 3rd? Wow. I grabbed 4th on one run, which ended up being my fastest. But, it wasn't like I was hitting the rev limiter in 3rd, just felt doing it...

If you're limited to...

Ah...I see, I thoiught you meant major changes to bars and stuff. :)

I might try to do a back-to-back with old tires and new tires, when I get around to buying 'em. I have a couple of sets of...
