Jesse,

We survived, and I had a great time. It was nice to meet you and your fellow Wisconioans(?).

See ya next time!

Leo

I had one of those cranks in a BDA. The guy that wrote the paper, Martin Lucas, did my crank.

I can tell you strait eyed that that crank went easily to 10K. I did it several times. Now, I don't...

Sounds good!

See you down there.

IM not sure. I think I can out break for sure. But as they say, "There is no replacement for displacement".

My MAE is 100% spec 1965 Cosworth MAE. So no 1500cc cheater...Not that I wouldn't, I...

IM going to call them right now. I'll let you know what was said.

Call complete...

Jack said that there is a small number of open wheel cars, much smaller than Grp 2. He felt that it would be...

Could be. I'll worry about that when I get there.

Leo

You and I can race for the one can of Bush light that is in my trailer, left over from last year!

LOL. Or we can drive around abreast and slow everybody down...Just to make new friends...LOL

3 years ago, my rookie year, and my cars first outing for 30 years or so, I was placed in the group that ran BDGs, FVAs, ect. Had they not put me in with the JRs, FFs, and FVs, I was going to walk. ...

Thanks Wink...

Plan for the worst and hope for the best.

I'm going with my F3 car. I do believe that there is kinda 3 classes for open wheelers...

Formula Juniors, FV, FF, and all others low HP cars, a second class for like the BD and FVA type of...

Thanks Dave,

That's the pickle Im in. The car is completely dry. The block has been boiled clean. So now would be an excellent time, but I have never driven the car.

So maybe to the...

At some point I do plan on replacing all my anti-freeze with Evans. One car at a time and esp. the F-250.

I really wanted to start with the Cooper since it is totally dry and clean. Im still...

I should have said that the pressure is insignificant.

I would also think that system pressure would be largely determined by how much air was in the system. If the system was purging correctly...

:thumbsup:

As I understand it the solution simply doesnt expand...rather the vaporization is almost nil. So the only real expansion is what ever air is trapped in the system.

Leo

That's the first thing I thought of, but there is virtually zero pressure in the system, even when above normal operating temp.

Leo

I just got off the phone with Evans.

The only way it can combust is under a high pressure mist while being sprayed on to an extremely hot surface or flame. According to the gal that answered...

I was seriously concediering. I think Ill shoot them an email and get the offical word.

Stand by.

Leo

Howdy,

Im just starting out with my Cooper Formula 3 car that has a Cosworth MAE engine. I have absolutely no data on gear sets for the tracks in America. I hope to race it at the USVGP...

Hi Mike,

Im in the same situation with my Cooper Formula 3 Car. Im still doing a little bit of research but the Evans Waterless Coolant seems to be something interesting. They make a track...

:greenflag: I originally wanted to go vintage Formula Ford racing, and started looking around for an "off brand"...A non-Lotus, Brabham, ect. After a few false starts I ended up with a Formula 3...

That Fiat TC engine out of the 2000 Spider sure looks good.

Leo

Do not use petroleum products. It hardens and may shrink the rubber parts of the filter.

Leo

I was brainstalling...Thanks Steve. I was thinking of all sorts of vehicles...but you hit it on the head.

Kinda like the old school field goal kickers helmet.

Leo

Steve, I think my humorous attempt didn't make from brain to text very well.

The vision I had was something like a push bar mounted in front of the nose cone...

Leo

I agree. One think I will not do is turn my historical/vintage Cooper in to a contemporary car.

I have been thinking of perhaps a tow ring that runs around the nose of the connecting at the...

I have been having an email chat with Bob Williams, their safety guy. Bobs response is in blue:

Do the open wheel cars need a tow ring? Most of the major tracks we attend have had some...

I think that some sort of rig may need to be constructed. I will be driving my Cooper F3 with SVRA...

I have been trying to think outside the box to be able to tow...Some sort of yoke between...
