Having been there to watch, I wonder if Nick knows that 1600 ccs are frowned upon?

dsmithwc04, maybe the picture was too subtle.

Whose team is running the cars with the Primus Racing Parts sticker on the side?

I certainly can't speak about the tree, but my impressions are...

USF4 website just answered my question.

Over a span of 30 years, Primus Racing has won dozens of titles in several racing series. This season, Jon Baytos and his team operate race cars in four...

Any photos or video other that what's on the F4 Championship website?

Guess the series may be more restrictive about this stuff than I'm used to.

Wish this was televised!

Name: Primus Racing Team
Address: 3220 28th Street North, Suite 4, St. Petersburg, FL 33713
Phone Number: 727-289-6023

Does anyone know if this team is associated with Jon Baytos, or another...

27 MPH and 1400 lbm
Minimum impact time, 0.05 sec.

Seems like a low bar from a chassis strength/deformation perspective, but I'm sure there are lots of reasons behind the numbers.

Wish I could...

Who knows how fast that sled was going and how much it weighed?

Does anyone have a link to the test specifications?

What, and miss the opportunity to be lied to soo many times that even he doesn't remember which lie to tell next?

Only if you have a parallelogram will both wheels change angle the same amount for a given lateral movement of the tie rod.
What is there is a trapezoid with one pair of opposite sides of equal...

I moved the box up by 1" but otherwise, this is the EV-3 setup.
I really liked this setup as it uncluttered the front bulkhead and allowed the pedals to move very far forward.
Can't comment about...

Steve asked the right question from my perspective.
The only way I (a person with no race experiance and several years of tech inspecting) got involved with Vee racing was due to Dick Stewart and...

Ed, the come back is pretty cool. Well done.
The real question is what will you be driving. A brand new Womer???

I ran a pair of QA1 8241 dampers on the front to good effect. Don't know about the rear, but you should be able to get something to work in that family.

Matt, thanks for bringing that championship up. Fun times.

BUT, I have to make a little correction. The black Womer and I won the NARRC which is a regional championship. Not the NED (North East...

Damn, did you get away with the 2 second wheels!? I was supposed to give you the 1.5 seconds set.

Good driving!

Great write-up John! Very good stuff.

And, thanks Nick for the pics.

You guys make this FV stuff look fun. :)

Glad everyone had a good time.

"I'm curious if a national tech inspector is still allowed to say something is illegal"

The phrase is, "Non-compliant". We try hard not to say this.

After this is said (generally after...

Telling me that 2012 is the first time Jon scammed someone and/or that this is the first time you've heard about it is like telling me that Rome was built in one day!

I do know that you had...

"My Apologies, Brad"

Brad, while your apologies warm my heart, I'm sure you can appreciate that they do little else. Is this your way of saying that you are not going to help me?

Dennis, I have a lot of respect for you and you have made me feel welcome since I first started racing. You've given me good advice and a friendly person to talk with at the track. Thank you.

Brian C in Az,

I completely agree with you except I think multiple threads would do a better job of serving the community.

A greater chance of a new guy coming across one of many than one...

I don't have any knowledge of Primus supplier relationships and I wish this tangent were on another thread, but I am interested in the purpose of the following statement.

“Mr. Parker, yes Jon and I have been partners for a long time and we will always be associated with each other. . I have sold parts from my company since 2007 as the sole owner. I don't run a race...

Brad, thanks for your wishes for a resolution to this issue. I hope you can be a part of the solution.

I have some questions for you: (for the record of course)

When I called you (Brad...

Great ideas! Maybe I need a different lawyer, but he says it's not that easy. Apparently the owner has to be there when the sheriff shows up. Jon has avoided several attempts to serve him notice...

Guys and Gals, I need your help.

I have delayed making this public because I'm embarrassed and disappointed to have gotten involved in this racket but now it's time to ask for help from the...

The "within 6 inches of the top" rule applies to the main roll hoop and you have this one well covered. Nice work on the chassis!

Great writeup again John! Thank you!

Reads like a lot of fun was had with some serious drama mixed in.

Congrats to all of the winners and followers up.

See everyone at Cheap Date and NER...

ABSOLUTELY PATHETIC :redflag:

Chris, go to Advanced Auto and get a big honk'n barbed fuel filter or 2.

Then come to the track and remind us how crazy fast you are there.

Is the current FV entry for this race a joke?

Come on guys/gals, let's go racing!

This is NARRC glory we're dealing with!

Harry, Mike, Paul M. and others. You should have been at NHMS!

Anyway, June LRP is NERRC and NARRC so many of us will be there.

See you then.

Well said Mark. Thanks for the write-ups John.

Great to race with everyone! Very good field, but not as large as we're used to. Hopefully all the regulars and some out of area drivers will come...

Great track and I had a blast!

Congratulations to Colin for 2 race wins and the current track record!
From my perspective that drive Sunday afternoon was really amazing.

Hope we can do it...

Brian, as a regional driver who has been contemplating racing in more national races, I can tell you that if YOU represent national racing, you can count me out.

By the way, if what is written on...

Holy crap, that thing is seriously SCARY! I think the board of health qualifies that as a coffin. After you suffocate, burn, or bleed out they can just push it in the hole in the ground or roll it...

Try UShip.com. I've had great luck with them on several occasions. Cost $600 to get a Vee, and single axle open trailer from Alabama to Boston, Ma.

Independent haulers bid for your shipping job.

I think what Chris is doing is valuable and appreciate his initiative for a focused pole to gather data.

I would encourage people to list a desired weight (based solely on what they think would be...
