So sorry, Lynn.



I have a RF88 if that other guy needs a replacement.

check saferacer.con. 70percent off sale. I bought a longacre 30 psi guage for under 20.

Well, Corey and I learned that our row 8 spots were not supposed to be available for selection. We were moved to row 34. What a mess. If there are 2 spots closer, please let us know.

Update...

For those in a group, please share your spot number.

Maybe us, non-groupers, can try to get close?
Or do we pick a row to be together?

Seeking motel share.
I made motel reservations at the Comfort Inn University for Sun : Tue , a 2 queen suite.
PS Wednesday I'll drive towards Illinois to see family.

I'm the candidate and I have decent rains. Email sent.

Hopefully on topic enough. I recall in the late 90s that Richardo Gonzales was protested for a single carb with 2 barrels. Each barrel was over the intake. I sure would like to see a picture of...

1 inch on each side! Fail. I could not hear it on the video but I feel all I did was spin them - slightly. Plus the acceleration to the finish lines was less - when comparing my RPM/speed to...

My manual data review on Excel. Calculated time between select cone numbers.
Contact me for the file. And if you would to compare segments.

West ...

All 6 runs. On my West 3rd run, I did lift at the end, causing a spin.

It was great to see this group again. Great competition!

So, I'm not happy with my performance. Not so much the place but the time deltas. My first look at video shows my 3rd runs were 1.1 & 1.2...

Somehow, I'm missing one washer for Compomotive wheel lug nut. ID .627 OD .922 Any spares?




Also, my Dad is along again. Need extra ticket for Wed awards.

Darn, I just bought some from JB. I neglected to ask if radial or bias. Now it won't rain.

I need wheels (TedV?) / JG: I'll send a message your way. Maybe interested in wheels.

New tires: scuff or run stickers?

I'm trying to make this happen - in my RF88. Possible co-drive as well. (Although the Citation co-drive intrigues)

Who is attending this year?
Registration opens on Wed 5/23. It sold out last year.

Sorry about the thread highjack a bit --- It looks like those are meant to use Formula F (FF) tires - my assumption. Meaning that the wheels are likely 13 x 5.5" and the rears tires are called...

JoeE, are you saying you bought a SoloVee?
For tires, determine your wheel widths and diameter needed. Check on eBay and with JB racing tires for used bias ply slicks.. You'll want Hoosier...

I talked with Craig at the 2017 Bristol MT CT. DMod 1969 Lotus Elan

Are you now going to enter the event? In CM?

Was it the CV race 'stick' to the axle splines? ....... Simply use a press to push it off. :confused:

Chuck Pyanowski has 90 his RF86. He's working thru some issues, like 6200 limiter.

Ted jumped in my car last year, after a few test runs, and matched my times.

I worked impound for the first time at Nationals. There were definitely plenty of bodies that one person could have the slip task.
I'll suggest even to take a photo of scale display with car in...

I discovered that my left v. right wheelbase is .25" apart. Measurements indicate that the delta is at the front end. Car: RF88.

Poll: Leave alone or tinker.

Roll call? Convince me to attend!

I've found equivalent starters, for my VD RF88, cross-ref to a Bosch SR52X. Both myold one and new one have Bosch marking on the main,black part, body.

Just played with Adobe Premiere to do my first split screen comparison. Head hurts!!! There are so many controls and options.

You can tell me your segment times,
or make a video available ( cloud/google drive/etc ) and I figure the segment times.

Ahh, If it ran well at Cricket Farms, Greenville SC, elevation 966, it should run at Lincoln.
Hey, got you thinking though!

My Dad asked about how the elevation change will affect the car. He expects it will run rich since I'm going from 14 ft to 1100 ft.
Please share your experience changing jets for Lincoln?

No instructions. No links. Confused.

TedV and I are into some detailed discussions about co driving my car.

Gary Godula ????

Only 3-5 attend from my region.

Does anyone organize group parking for CM ?

Motel recommendations ?

I'm working through my options (many, convoluted options: tow, drive, rent, fly) to attend, whether a co-drive or my own car.

Mark, the fact is that you have the wrong tire for a 5.5 wheel.
