As long as i have some reliable info i can make an effort to keep that from happening to any TA guys.
If i could get your money for you i would. There were times early in my career where prize...
John LaRue just linked me to this.
So Brandon I assume youve never been paid?

As far as what we would use the data for-
As racing has progressed, the idea of building something to the ruebook and may the best man win has gradually been replaced ( largely) by the "the...
Did I miss something?
Shoot......
Actually I bought out the best and most successful Trans Am builder (Riley and Scott), and got my hands on the best of the rest (Rocketsports, Pratt and Miller, Weaver, etc). Then I built the best...
As I said, they SPEND 200K.
The people I refer to MAKE 200K.
You realize the technical nightmare of mixing and matching an amalgamation of cars built over a number of years and actually...
Heheh. That's good......
North America has a literal Motorsports machine called NASCAR that dwarfs anything seen in Europe except F1. The difference here is that the NASCAR tracks make huge money, whereas most F1 events need...
Jay built the engines for David Empringham when he won the 93 Atlantic title.
Like the 9 security cameras in and around my shop, I'm always watching...

Tom,
Shall i save you a seat at anger management this week? :)
Seriously, good luck with everything.
Tony
BTW, tell TS hi. And if he doesn't start winning again I'm gonna stop saying nice things about him :D
Tom,
PS. Your manner of expressing yourself is impressive, I will take note.....
Tony
I'll agree with your read of my post, however believe me when i say i certainly didnt mean to offend any of the racers here. My tone was largely based on the condescending tone i read in a lot of...
Fair enough. I read it as though you felt there would be some large amount of heat shown by the rotor and brake system if there were to be gains made by reducing drag. And in my experience (including...
See the post above yours, merely stating my experience with a variety of companies parts, for the last 20 years or so. Don't get so sensitive,
BTW, I have watched the FB stuff closely (or at...
Oh and by the way, I do understand. Let me explain;
The cars at Daytona/Talladega make about 400 RWHP. Not 800 HP. And to qualify its a real trick to get up to speed in two laps. Your point...
So what was the net result of the panel discussion anyway? You had the whole world of FC up in arms. (I was a little envious) lol.
Say hi to Phil Stubbs for me....
What Mario is refering to is that the brakes serve a much greater purpose than just slowing the car down, they are used to balance the car in subtle ways while applying and releasing them. Granted in...
I saw that. My concern is the 'untouched' part of the rule, which is similiar.
A bigger drama here is some of us are preparing to race for 50K in a Pro Series using these rules. Somebody better figure out EXACTLY what is a legal engine and what isn't. This is a formula that has...
My buddy Jean Luc Liverato quit DSR because of the money he was spending on the open engine deal. While I like that stuff, and would be one of the few to figure out a way to pay for it, it would be...
John Paul I am not being a big shot, if I were I wouldn't be at my shop right now prepping my Trans Am car for the next two weeks, someone else would be doing it. I'm just pointing out that these...
Jon,
If I may:
The rules are the rules, if you don't like it, don't run. I think it's pretty clear what the series is going to do, so it would appear they are beyond the point of asking any...
Jon,
Welcome to the wonderful world of racing message boads. From my experience on these things, they are a great place to spread info but a lousy place to have a debate. If 5 % of the posters...
Had some of those when I lived in Indy,
At that time, 800 HP in about 1450 pounds. 1.81
The newer stuff I'm sure is 900 HP, and the cars are about 100 pounds lighter depending on the rules. ...
Thanks to the constant pursuit of power by the Nascar teams one of those can be had for less than 20K with completely new internals. I used one engine last year for the first 6 races, and it still...
My current Tans-Am car
2780 pounds, 850 HP, 3.27
No dog in this fight (yet), but as someone who really is interested in FB, and also as someone who has a lot of recent experience with the CRB, BOD, and the rules process I would like to hopefully...
The current model of FB is the only thing making me look into open wheel racing again, (except for wanting to avenge some bad luck at the Turkey Night Grand Prix Midget event, but thats another...
