Sorry Mike,I don't like to wait on the sky,usally then it is too late. Size and material not manufacturer with regard to the wheel.What will the guys with 6' and 8' do when they find out they need 8"...

Good on ya Frog, Drew, one more please, and then log me out,I mean check me out, or throw me out. In the immortal words of "Matt M "JB has left the building.

I refer to my post [ in the wrong section it seems ] Don't haggle over the details call it 1 call it 2 call it 5 but call it. This is small group at the moment call it now so it can become a big...

Roll on Mike. Please transfer Ralph's engine idea to the right thread as he had it about 6 months ago. I clearlt do not have the tech ability to do so.Thanks to Russ ,and the lot, it seems we are on...

Just a few thoughts from the weekend at Roebling.

The Formula 1000 class = it is pretty clear to see that this thing is going to be big. Not sure where formula B came from, but we will continue...

Tim,sorry does'nt sound like you got what you needed,we talked to a lot of people. We were in the corner at times but it was just resting in between. If there is something I can help you with that...

Hi Sean, thanks,were happy to be involved in F 1000.

I think that we have a plan that will help spread the word. My hope is to draw from some markets that are not just the traditional Apexspeed...

We had planned to be there,but we have decided to concentrate on running the car at our new winter home located at MSR Houston.
The plan is to deliver 3-5 before Dec 20 and continue delivery's in...

Frog , are you on my phone?

Sorry one more thing the open test in march 2006 I think no rubber down
JR at 22.6 at lunch time never been there
Dane 22.7 " "
Charlie Donnely 22.9 " ...

Also the record for Zetec is Brian Sellars at 22.3 in 2002 on Avon A-24's at 1190lbs

The FC/Ford 2000 track record is from 1999 by TJ Bell at a 23.6 on spec YOKO'S I'm pretty sure that pole time for that weekend was 24.0 by A Justus. No new pavement

Sean you might want to consider the Zetec fuel tower. Simple,tidy,and reliable.I have been running this set-up for over a year with no problem.Just saw the photos of Jays finished work.Look's...

Hi Ryno,you should give me a call.I have three Van Diemen chassis that are similar to what you have.I have a selection of aero parts that may be of interest.JON 941 729 5706

Frog i think that if someone wants a VD F1000, look at the post below from Jay Novak.
He is good at what he does,and this will be the thing to beat.
I'm sure that a full blown DSR driven well...

Hi Frog, Yes the 281 did do some mileage with the 1137 honda with Brian Sellars at the wheel back in 2002 at Roebling.In that configuration we got down to a 7 dead on Cooper Pro spec rubber.
...

Carnut I would not turn-up at Sebring in the hope that they will let you run without anything.I would be shocked if that happened with those freindly folks.We have always in a pinch just gotten a 2...

Yes........ This is mostly about money.

As Dennis points out price is going to carry the day in the end.I also think that it will come down to ease of use,and the cost of use.I would wager that if Lee Stohr builds what I think he will...

I have to say that although I do not agree with all that Stan or is son Rennie are putting forward,it sure is refreshing to have someone willing to share his veiws from a position within the comp...

Dennis with all due respect I would disagree. But I guesswe will see.Zetec is 53,000.00 and a lot of maintenance in comparison.Ent can't sell at 26,000.00 375 Mazda[old] at 39,000.00? 100 at...

Dennis,39,500.00 complete,as described earlier.jb

I'm sorry I misunderstood.Yes we do have something 30,000.00 range as a roller.I thought that is what we were talking about.Remember the FSCCA was originally proposed at just over 20,000.00...

We have a supply of crate GSXR's at Elan that are being fitted to the new DP-04.And West have a supply of crate ZX-10's from Kawasaki.The new IMSA Lites Series will use only stock sealed engines fom...

Lee, I doubt that you believe what you are saying is true.You are a very smart man and have been around this for a long time.The market research that you desire is all around you.Can you honestly say...

I think 1000 lbs is a good #.Stan did you call our car a TANK? Shame on you.JB

I don't think that I have heard anything that earth shattering in terms of info from some very smart folk's.But if your not going to do something different from FC just do FC.I believe I would be...

D.T. it is chrome moly and it will have a carbon driver cell.The 20,000.00 diff is what thing's can go to for instance Dynamic DSSV dampers or Koni 8212's Quaife limited slip diff or 2003 Ford...

Stan,I meant sorry that you feel that carbon is so ness for safety reasons.FC chassis have competed at over hundreds of oval events with speeds approaching 160 mph accidents were plenty and the...

Stan,sorry you feel that way.Here are some pics of our prototype.The finished chassis will be quite a bit different,depending on the rules.It could be 35,000.00 with new GSXR or 55,000.00 it will...

Dear Stan, I would not limit the width at FC #'s. This rule is clearly outdated with respect to the rest of the world.If persons want to run an ex FC chassis at that width maybe allow it, but not...

As for the proposed rules I would only caution that a page from what happened to Formula Ford 2000 should at least be looked at.
When this class started to be important to win a rolling chassis...

coming to you sean

We have just finshed a couple days of testing with the new Van Diemen Formula 1000.
