Yesterday SOLOMATTERS did a live event on their FB page. I asked about the maps. They said Sunday by 1pm. I don't understand on why they wait so long. :(

Weather looks GREAT!!http://www.apexspeed.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=73557&stc=1

CM is working 2nd and racing 4th.
Tuesday east course. Wednesday west course.

Any idea when they post the course maps?

I guess there was a bug in the system. I wasn't allowed to be in row 1. They moved me to the middle of row 3. Still not bad.

yup! That went fast.

Sorry...front....rear?
North or south end "better"?

Hi,

I have been given word that selecting individual paddock spots will
open up tonight at 9 pm eastern. The link will go live roughly at 6 pm eastern.
That link again is:...

How many trophies per class are there?

Don't think I posted this before.

We need some more Vees! Currently only 4 out of 22 are Vees.

Any idea when they post course maps?

Also...I noticed last year they hade a "trailer parking" section. Are you required to put your trailer there or is it an option?

Now just waiting until I can signup for paddock area. I got an extra 25x25 just because.

I did Monday at 10-11am.

Registration opens at 2pm today.

Are there vendors on site or do you need to bring lunch?

I hear there is a dinner/cookout somewhere each evening?

They better hurry. There are already 949 of the 1350 entries taken.

Sorry...found it. Guess I was blind. $45.

Anybody know what the cost of
2017 SCCA Solo Nationals Test N Tune will be?

11 registered. 4 of which are Forumula Vees! WOOOHOOO!

YEA! Another Vee. I don't feel so lonely.

yes thanks.

is there a better or worse spot to be?

So where is the "best" place to choose and why?

i have rented a golf cart so I will be mobile.

That makes 2 of us.

Been chatting with Larry. He thinks not because he is still busy with the house move. :-(

Any other FV racing? I am feeling kinda lonely out there. :-)
...

I will will be there. New tires and new engine. This thing is going to be scary fast. Maxed out for our class. First local race is this Sunday.

I am thinking about doing my first Nationals next year. Planning on tent camping in the back of my truck.
Are there any shower facilities there?

Thanks. Good info. I will check the link.
Got pictures? I didn't buy it because I couldn't get my shoulders in it.

How can I tell?

I don't have a front sway bar.

I understand the "normal" thinking that adjusting the rear will change the front.
If I change the rear I will have to change the springs because they are close to maxed out now.

Sorry but just wondering...did you read that I am autocrossing the car?

13" dia rims. 9' wide front 10" wide rear. Hoosier 25B. Current fronts are less than 1 year old.
I can do high speed turns (85mph) with little to no drop of front end with NO push. My problem comes...

Do you have a link of what you think I might need?

9" tires in front. I have pictures of the front a-arms in action around a tight braking corner.

How much are you offering me for it? ;-)

Anybody else have any suggestions for me?

Not sure...

I have been autocrossing my Zink and the front end tends to push. I believe I need to put coil over springs on my front shocks but don't know what "rate" springs I should use. I want the front stiff....

His answer...

"ADF ANTENNA OFF OF DC-3 ACFT. DOES NOTHING LOOKS NEAT."

I posted a question asking what the pod is. Waiting for an answer.

Says car weight is 2000lbs. Says wing weight is 1000lbs. Remove wing and it is only 1000lbs? Wow. With 500hp...

Any suggestions on toe in/out or camber settings for Autox?

Well...with just the 2 coatings it was GREAT! Got 3rd place (to 2 national drivers in FAST cars). Tires were VERY predictable. Can't wait till next race!
Thanks for all the info everybody!

Racing on Sunday...Been sick this week...best laid plans of mice and men...
Just put 1 coat on. Will put another coat on in the morning. Leaves 24 hour drying time.

Does it hurt to put it on...

And approx how long will the 6-8 applications last?

Well...the Tire conditioner didn't make it in. Will have to wait till next race.
But...I have been pulling it with a tow dolly...changing tires back and forth at the race. But, no more!

...

I ordered some Formula V. Should be in Friday. Not in time for Sundays race. Guess it will have to wait till march 9th race.
