Had many dealings with Mike - he always delivered1 RIP!

I-70 & I-68 are good way from the Mid-Atlantic to Ohio and beyond and don't use the PA Turnpike. Even with EZ-Pass the tolls are ridiculous.

Congrats to Calvin Stewart for his victory. Mega congrats to Jason Martin and James Weida for making it more than interesting for all the green flag laps. Contested passes made where I have never...

In the mid-90's KBS manufactured several DSR cars.

Using the MPEM with space for 4 connectors. A 6 pin that connects to the ignition on/off switch in the car, a 2 pin connector to the coil, a 4 pin connector to the triggers, and a 3 pin connector to...

With a 12v Test Light

Should I see a pulse of energy going from the MPEM to either of the Coil Terminals when rotating the engine on the starter?

Should I see a pulse of energy from the...

Swapped the trigger positions - still no joy.

Wires from coil to MPEM are contiguous. 12v coming to MPEM when switch is on. Engine is grounded..

Shipping engines is one thing - the engine in the car was newly installed, ran in my garage before towing to Kansas, ran in Kansas for about 5 minutes and hasn't run since.

Electrics on the...

Isn't Mel in Michigan?

I am thinking about calling a Ski-doo/Sea-doo dealer and seeing if I can trailer the car to them and let their expertise be brought to bear on the situation. If they are up...

The current 593 installed in my car is in a no joy condition.

At Heartland MSP last Spring I was warming the engine up on the Friday evening before the event - and it quit. I has not popped...

Change the identity of the component failures and you have described the event for a majority of competitors at the Runoffs. You can race all year with 2 and 3 on track sessions per day with minimal...

Everyone competing was required to have at least, a forward facing camera.

Whether they want to post a video is up to each individual competitor.

What was 'inch perfect' when we were in our 20's and 30's - as we age that inch expands just like out waist lines, for some it expands faster than others.

I am not a FF driver. Hoosier East about a decade ago hand cut some R25's for use as intermediates for me.

Wasn't the Nology coil and grounded spark plug wires the 'hot ticket' in FV a few years ago?

No sooner do I pose the question than the survey shows up in my e-mail.

I have yet to see SCCA's follow up survey of the Runoffs!

Sorry the facts of the time sheets hurt.

The facts are in the SCCA website.

With 8 of the top 10 in qualifying being 4-strokes - the top two 4-strokes beating the existing qualifying record and the fastest 2-stroke being nearly 2 seconds off the quick 4-stroke, with the...

Too many tracks are using their own on track emergency service personnel - NOT SCCA. SCCA Emergency services personnel know how to handle the cars raced in Club Racing.

Those doing the towing are IMS personnel - NOT SCCA. Their (IMS) plan is to tow the disabled car to a transfer location for SCCA personnel to continue the tow to the individual's paddock. IMS...

I had a wheel balance issue that made the car undrivable - at least to me; and I decided to retire rather than be a incident that affected the race.

My understanding was that Tim Friest was unable...

The engine should not require a connection to a battery to run. The magneto supplies all the juice needed for the engine to operate, witness the operation of the recoil starter.

Ran a race at...

Towed up 3/19 - went to warm up the engine and it was locked.

Put the car back on the trailer and towed home.

It was no picnic for either class - had FF gone out first the fast F500's would be stumbling over the slow FF's. Getting 72 cars on track is no picnic for any of the 72 - no matter the class.

I am registered.

The date of the event is competing with Road Atlanta holding a Super Tour event the same weekend.

Just because the last entry in the Log Book is 2005 doesn't mean the Log Book is not current. Log Books are not required for Solo competitions only wheel to wheel road racing.

I think the Fred Froelich was the last one to own and race the car. As I recall in the early 2000's Elevan Goulart rented the car from Fred and won the January National at Sebring with it.

Who...

The Simpson Hybrid fits all manner of cars and degree of reclining drivers position.
...

And if we recall - when they introduced the F to SR, after the end date SR's were not permitted to race in SCCA at all.

Enterprises calls all the tunes in SR SRF SRF3 as well as FE and FE2. They...

As I recall the last Ad Hoc committee that was formed was disbanded by SCCA shortly after formation as they were not following SCCA's 'Stevie Wonder & Ray Charles' vision of the class.

?????

The big problem at present - many existing 2-stroke cars were bought by individuals who thought putting a MC power train into a existing 2-stroke chassis would be a piece of cake - only to find after...

My understanding that when the MC motors were in the gestation stage for F600/F500 competition. Bill Kephart a CRB member at the time and Formula Ford driver since about forever did not want to see...

I believe both Cory and Jack Walbran had throttle cable issues. Cory on the Pace Lap in the Carousel and Jack in T1 at the start.

Final entry was 16 with Don Napier withdrawing.

Congrats to Clint McMahan, James Weida and Calvin Stewart for fast runs to the podium in that order.

Down to 17 with Russel Strate withdrawing account NY's Covid stance.

We are down to 18 at present.

I think it has gotten to the point that I may be the only F500 in the DMV. I run a Majors schedule with the SE Division as my region of record.

Thought Roebling Road would have tuned you up for the heat!

Having cars with the potential of former Can-Am cars - even 'parade' laps tease the driver to use the right pedal to its maximum extent. Parades have different speeds. No driver that participates...

Suspect the RF is also off the ground but its distance in the air is hidden by the shadow.

No matter how much all parties involved wish for the 'back marker' to disappear (including the back marker) - that is not a condition that is supported by physics.

All people on track have paid...

Never overlook the ability of a pack that is racing among themselves to become 'target fixated' upon each other and to not see another competitor that they are overtaking - especially the members of...

nanoseconds can be deadly

I have had to replace fuel cells at some point in time on each of the cars I have raced since 1988. They all failed in the approximation of 10 years from their stenciled manufacture date. One only...

Fuel Cells have a normal life span of approximately 10 years +/'- Then the poly cover starts cracking and leaking. JB Weld can stop some small leaks - however, over time the cracks will appear in...
