Wayne Mitchell has passed.
Not sure if someone is carrying the torch…
Keep in mind that the car was probably designed to work at a specific ride height and changes will alter the instantaneous and roll centers and cause changes to bump steer etc.
Autocross cars with...
At 65, my waistline has not expanded. And, I don’t expect contact!
I wonder if they’ve got one complete car yet.
I’d be curious what the weight was. 1600lbs with the Ford?
Just a Trackday car.
These guys and their cars are why I designed my “Kokopelli” DSR back in the’90s. Seemed as much about innovation as anything else. Trying to make speed without breaking the bank and trying...
Someday I hope to go back. Probably won’t be getting another jacket though…..
I've still got my last Kokopelli DSR and am curious, Do either P1 or P2 allow cars that met the " 45 percent " rule?
Chris
It's a Mallock. Built by Mallock Racecars. It would be considered a B Mod if anything. D Mod would be "street cars".
Hopefully I know what I'm talking about, I've got a D Mod 7 and a Mallock or...
Takes effort but light and small are doable.
I built an enclosed trailer for my Seven with 1" x 1" 16 ga steel tubing and stressed skin.
Empty weight was 760 lbs.
Fully loaded; Seven (also...
Sorry for the confusion. He is again working on a couple.
Chris
Maybe talk to Mike Quadrini. ;) :rolleyes:
I've still got a bunch of Kokopelli DSR bits and pcs.
Spaceframes w/o suspension mounts, New fiberglass bodies, suspension hardware....
Could have a blast completing a car! :confused:
Chris
Great project!
Creating and improving is always interesting and fun.
The only question I have is regarding the bends in the forward supports for the rear hoop.
My understanding was that they were...
Ouch! Don't rub it in.
I bought a Vantage V8 just over 10 years ago. The previous owners took a $100/mile depreciation.
Now it's my turn. Truthfully, it's not too bad, about $1.52/mile over 124...
I've been a bunch of times with a 125 Partial Streamliner I designed and built half of.
I think we've got 8 records total now with 125cc. Bikes thought. Fastest recorded run was 155 mph. IIRC. ...
It's roll structure doesn't meet SCCA rules as it's displayed and probably doesn't meet the requirements for the drivers feet.
That being said I guess if they provide engineering data....
I think what Richard is talking about is that the basic fuel injection system adjusts fuel realtime so why is it disallowed to adjust your carb realtime. Seems only fair considering the two strokes...
Hi Neil,
Have you contacted Chris DeMinco? He's in upstate NY and has been in touch with many Mallock owners and people who are interested in them. He's on (or created) a Mallock Facebook group. ...
Ford Ecoboost 1.0 with transverse box?
Bone stock. Would it be small enough and light enough.
Are they even available stateside ?
No paddle shift I guess.
Wow! That's a bargain!
I built a 1.5 gallon tank for my DMod Seven because it fit nicely behind the "passenger" seat area and it's worked well.
I would get nervous and top up though on open long...
Saving the transaxle is probably your biggest concern.
That being said I've been running somewhere in the vicinity of 215 hp and maybe 140ft/lbs through a Spitfire diff for decades and the fusible...
Hi Ewen, I sent you a PM.
Mike,
I'll call you tomorrow.
Chris
1" schedule 40 close nipple cut in half with a cap. Both of course with NPT threads. ??
kinda agricultural looking but may work. A little sculpting would lighten them and improve the appearance.
I'd definitely be interested. If the tracks were close enough it'd be a great way to get out and have some fun. I'm not concerned with any championships as its "apples and oranges" with a motley...
I'd second Stan's suggestion. In addition ,the shorter wheelbase of the older DSR will help you get around the tight bits. Look at full lock steering angle too. Always good to be able to recover from...
Dymag or Technomagnesio maybe?
What chassis is this?
It appears to be a "Sidewinder". Side mounted engine?
I love to see more photos of the "particulars".
Best,
Chris
I designed and built my own DSR, the Kokopelli, over a five year period I spent somewhere between $70,000- $100,000 and thousands of hours either designing, fabricating or going to the track to test...
I'm considering buying a Varley battery for a Mallock as it has a welded in battery tray and hold down that is sized exactly for one.
Does anyone have an opinion about the Varleys?
Being as...
Thanks for all the input.
I called today and got through.
Apparently they had phone problems yesterday.
Ken will be shipping all the bits and maybe I can get my Mallock MK16 running again after...
I tried calling Dave Bean Engineering today and got no answer.
I thought I'd read somewhere that the business would continue after Dave's passing.
I'm looking for ignition parts for a 1600...
Back in the 90s, I don't remember the exact year, Kim Knapp and Chris O'Donnell finished with a .002 second margin in D mod.
That's the composite of north and south courses. I was a relatively...
Katie Lapham? (Last name?)
Maybe they were using different wheelbases left to right to tune out torque steer.?
Looks somewhat different than when I drove it at New Hampshire way back in the day.;)
2000 Nationals D modified.
About a week before leaving to drive to Kansas I notice oil on outside of rear left damper.
Closer investigation reveals no resistance to movement for most of stroke. ...
If I'm not mistaken, a slipper clutch is mechanical not electronic.
It just reduces "back torque".
Do F600s get axle hop? Or is it just to reduce drop throttle oversteer?
Too bad every class seems to gravitate towards a spec class.
There are so many ways someone can be innovative .
An ingenious performance advantage should be encouraged. Makes for interesting...
Is it me or does it seem the SCCA continues to require many mod cars to run higher weights than they were designed to be? I know in Dmod it was suggested that making many of the cars competitive...
Ford 1000cc screamers! 3+" bore and a 1.9" stroke in a cast iron push rod 4cylinder.
Who wouldn't like the sound at 10,000 rpm? Isn't that where Cosworth got there start?
Not to mention the more...
Are modified sump pans allowed?
I don't mean dry sump but a baffled pan reshaped in cross section.
Would be cool if different engine configurations were legal with restriction so no one would cry....
Back to the beginning of the thread.
The Nissan three cylinder, 400 hp engine was being developed by Ray Mallock Limited.
As in ; Arthur Mallocks son. For those who never thought Mallocks would...
I'm guessing that isn't the $76,000.00 Cinar Silk rug? ;)
Looks a bit heavy to get around an autocross course very quickly.
I bet it'd be quick up a hill though. Pikes Peak anyone?
Aero dynamically enclosed GPS receiver for the autopilot.
If the driver is getting older and slower, like myself, he'll/she'll need these stealthy and of course perfectly fair advantages.
Old age...
Hey Bruce,
You're not out there! Or are you?
Chris
You could also try EMRA as I think they have some records or recollection of the American Chapter of the Liverpool Motor Club. Could be some connection.
I own a Mallock MK 4 that they suspected was...
