Saab took a 2-stroke Sonnet on tour across the US before it went on sale. I can't remember the year, but I got a ride in it when it came through a dealer on Lake Street around Elmhurst, IL.

Leaving costs out of it and shifting from open wheels, I imagine lots of us would rather race a Ferrari GTO than a big block 60's Corvette.

Very nice photos!

Phil:
I sent you an email suggesting you contact (by phone!) Wendell Miller. He preps Jack Donnellan's 598 and B07/90 and I am sure he has lots of gossip from both vintage and SCCA.
...

There is another way to save a little time. Wendell Miller was watching me do a change in the paddock one time and noted that on the MK 9, pro mechanics just don't use the two "buried" nuts which...

I have the same question and concerns about rains, and I am in the area.

When I first started racing, I tried doing taped on numbers in the shape of LCD numbers, just having to change the small segments to change numbers. Timing and scoring did not like them - didn't...

I have used both and I think the most important issues are adjusters (or none) that work in your car and 2 year vs. 5 year. With a HANS in a tight car I need help getting belted in.

The power required to overcome aerodynamic drag goes up with the cube of velocity. Thus for 131 mph vs. 124, being conservative, the required power to overcome drag, assuming the same CdA product, is...

I noticed the email address, too. Somehow I think I have heard it a lot!

I (stupidly) used the non-HANS belts through the season, but my concern was that in an incident in which I needed the HANS the adjusters would interfere with movement of the helmet. I did not think...

For those adding a HANS device one belt parameter that can be problematic is the length from the shoulder belt mount to the adjuster. Starting to use a HANS last year with my Willans belts, I found...

Thomas:
Where is this on the SCCA site? I can't find it. Where will they put the announcement that Registration is opening?

Update - Now I see your link. Why don't they put it on the "Majors"...

What a mess! The DLB site now shows 204 entered, not the 203 from this afternoon. Think about that if you are paranoid. Where did you get the link, Glenn? I was keeping an eye on the DLB Calendar,...

Photogray prescription glasses. I am an old guy who wears bifocals, but only need the distant vision for driving. I think your concern is weird, Ralph.

When my old DB1 cell was seeping a little bit, one could not see any evidence of the seepage if it was set on the concrete garage floor. Setting it on newspaper showed the seepage, as the paper...

I think the vertical inlets may be those of a 1000cc Cosworth SCA. Hence an FC. The engine is tilted and the inlets are vertical, thus looking sort of like a V8 from the side. Hard to find a nice...

There are pictures with the 750, too, at:

A friend knew of these pictures, but Erik had already found them.

I'd suggest talking to Bryan Cohn, Dan Layton, Mark Weber, and Scott and Charles Livingston about their recommendations. Bryan's not there anymore, but I guess he still considers himself a St....

NIce quotation, Ted. Of course, on this site, there are some people who know how to do the seemingly impossible. Maybe you should describe what brought on the quote.

For other truisms, Leon van...

As noted above, Toly's wife, Karen, has been posting updates on her Facebook page. These have been transmitted to those of us not on Facebook through friends. Via John Gardner to Mark Weber to Bob...

After the snake at Eagles Canyon, you must really have animal magnetism! I think it would be most appropriate to say "she was black spotted."

Exactly, Jerry. The A-arms also have some sweep which makes simple analysis with 2-D drag coefficieints a little problematic.

Mr. Jennings:
The Reynolds numbers for the streamline shapes in Billy's chart were thickness Reynolds numbers. One has to be careful because lots of airfoil information is presented as a chord...

Megan:
I think you should be a little more careful in talking about your dad. Christmas is coming, you know.

Mark:
From the video, there is an "ECR" which seems to indicate Eagles Canyon. Entries just opened for the Double Regional there in mid-October. The video is a real motivator to go! Does this just...

My understanding is that the Collier Museum acquired the contents of the Briggs Cunningham Museum which was in Costa Mesa. I visited it at New Year's at the beginnng of 1967 and the mid 80's and it...

There were a couple good videos posted from the 2008 Run Offs.

Andy thinks it is the Ed Leslie we remember. I remembered the TR4 and forgot the Cobras. If it is the Ed Leslie of Triumphs and Cobras, he is gone.

I sent a message, too, offering loan of a Lucas starter, just 40 miles from Hallett. Be really vintage and period correct!

I suggest contacting Joe Bass. I think he still has his RP26. You can find his contact information in his ad for his RF97 roller.
