Jay, what about the GP320?

http://www.wilwood.com/Calipers/CaliperList.aspx?subname=GP320

Exactly how many vees are out there running locally that don't come to nationals? I'm doubting that there will suddenly be a 20 car national field if Vees got their own class.

And also, at bare...

Perhaps I could have called the idea itself foolish, but fool is hardly a personal attack.

Liar, snake, cheater, Jihadist, etc (pick your own insult/attack from the f500.us site) are personal...

Thinking that just because you spend a "fiberglass" budget on your effort that everyone else will (or should be compelled to) is entirely foolish.

Chris,
The class is already there. $21,000 for an Invader. For an extra $1k over the KBS I'd buy the new Blade every day of the week and twice on Sunday. If you want to race for $10,000 buy a...

That's me in the car my brother and I developed. The G trace is pretty heavily smoothed. Peak numbers are 2.25G cornering and a little over 2 in braking. With a fresh engine it gets to 60mph in...

Little outside of the city but Berg Racing in upstate NY has done DSR's for several years.

There's already an SAE car that is faster than all of AM, the 2011 Maryland SAE car.

Chris was a good friend of mine, he actually got me started into racing when he got his 440. Because of him I bought my first car and I got a bunch of parts off him for it.

One of his life...

If you know his name and address, you can find out an awful lot about him by doing some research in the county clerk's website where he lives (mortgages, marriage license, DBA's, deeds, many of which...

Always always always use a credit card through paypal, not your actual bank account. American express does not tolerate this kind of ****, and they love to go to bat for you.

Dear C-Mod guys:

Up for sale is a highly modified 1997 RD, which has been our autocross car for the last two years. It has a logbook and only requires the installation of the fire bottle to go RR...

I WISH it would have hit Tony in the face. And he throws like a girl. I guess if you spend all day eating cheeseburgers instead of working out you have to wind up and use two hands to throw a 3lb...

Yes, thankfully someone else came into this thread and posted some good, factual information.

Actually, I would say that the problem is the current SV drivers are not developing their cars at the rate F5 is, and the fully developed SV's are no longer raced. Which I guess is not a problem. ...

Welcome to my class. As said before, there's a big difference between a 55" wide car that weighs 800 lbs without proper suspension and a solo vee. At least compared to a CM car, the vee's...

Does bringing solo vees into the CM class suddenly make your Formula F car non-compliant?

CM is a lot closer dimension and weight wise, thus reducing the course dependency currently present in FM.

Not like it matters for 3-4 entries a year.

A loose car is usually slower through the slaloms for us. I shoot for as neutral as possible, with heavy rear brake bias. This allows us to drive something like an offset cone to cone, rotating the...

My aim data @ 10hz sample showed peaks in the 1.8-1.9 range on Sunday, about a tenth lower on Saturday. Launch peaks were almost 1.1 for a very brief moment.

I've been using solidworks to model my car and do various small projects. The educational version is very inexpensive.

If you don't already, learn to use some type of solid modeling 3d cad program and build your car there first. You'll save yourself a lot of time.

Every time i try to use my left foot in my daily driver I leave teeth marks in the steering wheel. In my F5 it feels so natural I couldn't imaging going anywhere near as fast with my right foot. My...

Good luck, there's a lot to consider. If you haven't already, try and put eyes on one locally to study the design. Some cars are a little better thought out than others.

Not with an attitude like that.

What time were you standing there?

That's been done. When the SV community only fields 4 national entries in a year, it's kind of hard to evaluate whether they were effective or not. Look at the results.... when you get raw timed by...

Your car can actually run wider tires than the F5's can.

I don't think anyone has run a solo vee that is actually FULLY prepped. If you don't want to actually turn it into a solo vee, you...

Leon Mitchell, on the other hand, will be happy to sell you a pipe.

Interesting to hear about CM gearing. In FM we were seeing very high 70's on the slalom course( west), and crossed the finish low 80's on the east.

What were you guys seeing for speeds?

Fire whomever chalked that course!

One coat on the tire the day before the event is fine. I find it lasting our normal 6 runs per driver on a 2 driver car for a regional event. After you paint on the Goat P wrap the tire in plastic...

The only way to get discount hoosiers is to drive faster than everyone around you. Unfortunately, your competitors often have the same plan!

Regionally, we used 1.5 sets this year. I replaced...

What I'd like to see:

600cc bike motors, w/ IIR's took prevent the flavor of the week.

Piggyback tuning.

Dimensionally equivalent or very similar to F5. The easiest way for someone to get...

Depending on who you ask, it will either lead to the end of two stroke engines, or the end of the world. Please keep writing.

What exactly is the difference between FV and FST again?

The BOD needs to get out of the way on this one. What is the harm in letting things start as a regional class and building from there?

Cut the engine supply to only tens, if not hundreds of thousands of engines.....

All kidding aside, I was under the impression that these DBW cars and bikes have fail safe modes built into them...

Used to use hawk blacks, but we've switched to the Wilwood Polymatrix A's.

The only downside to them is that they wear quickly.

Use an American Express card. They love to fight with problem merchants and will fight tooth and nail for you!

I've never sprayed an F500 tire, and I must say that even with 2 drivers I've never gotten them hot enough.

Even 4 back to back runs at Toledo for the Pro is just a tease, they're just getting...

Marshall,

I've never seen any kind of description on how to put together a data set to help guide your jet changes day to day as the weather fluctuates. As someone with a brand new engine type...

Certain members of this swirling debate seem to view their own actions and statements through rose colored glasses. The anti-MC crowd has spent the better part of the last year attacking MC...

Pre Preg is going to be huge $$$$ for the amount you're going to need to do a body mold, and it's not typically a material you use to make molds with.

If drapeability is a concern you should use...

I think this poll is probably a pretty accurate pulse on the racing communities feeling towards the MC option.
