Could someone please provide some insight into the pros and cons of the stepped rear wing on the Speads? The Stohr and the Phoenix do not use this design. I remember the F1 cars adapting this shape...

Matt,
If I didn't apply "financial sense" to any of this, I'd have just sent you a check for my full racing fund and used the sales proceeds from my RF95 to run on next year. But that wouldn't keep...

Matt,
Last fall I was EAGER to get started on a conversion of my RF95 to F1000. At the time, I was hoping that my 'costs' could be held to < $15k (gross). Like Richard, I see only regional...

How and where do you mount the PIR, Waterford, "elsewhere" (?) muffler?

Dave

They may not be flat and 90 degrees. They may also bend upward toward the water pump or inlet? Just guessing.

Dave

Matt,

I skied 117 days last season - I'd spring for four season passes for an F1K-07! ;)

Dave

Oh, that looks nice! I may have to go get a real job to buy one of these!

Matt, trade for some Big Sky lift tix? ;)

Dave

Must have been something you said! ;)

William, I wouldn't worry too much about your level of experience. If your log-in is to be taken literally there is a lot of difference between a 'pilot'...

Certainly true, but your project is the one getting all of the posts lately. :D :D Maybe Lee won't read this ;)




From the images in Matt's original post, the main hoop will be completely...

First, what will be the provisions for towing/lifting the car if necessary? I assume that the rear bodywork will completely cover the main hoop.

Second, what if anything is done in a bike engine...

This seems like a good time for me to say "Thank you!" to many of the biggest antagonists during the F1000 rules debate. I've always been a bottom level participant (observer really) in this...

Mathew,
A threshold has most certainly been crossed, which is precisely the reason that you and Mark are receiving the type of reception here that you are.

Rob's made his comment regarding the...

Just had to quote that again! :D I think I'll stick with my current signature for the time being, but I may very well blow your line up and hang it inside of my garage or my trailor - or both... ...

Rennie,

Can I use that line in my signature?

Dave

I'm more grateful for the efforts being made to control burning up the cost of a new diffuser in fuel every weekend. "Reasonable" cost is more on target than "controlled". Another goal is to permit...

...as they say in another recent thread - depending on the time of year - What would be the best approach when adding 75# of ballast?

Dave

The first time I returned to Road America from Montana there were several last minute parts that I needed. One of people from Pegasus coordinated with me while I was on the road and met me in a mall...

Lee, taking applications for test drivers? :D ;)

Dave

Works for me? Or am I just a little too spaced out? Aarh! Aaarh! Aaaarhhh!

Geez, I hate it when I do that...

Dave

Not everyone has the $14k or $20k to spend on the 8 - 20% increase in power. Some people are willing to live with some amount of risk, that at an 8 - 20% power deficit, not all of the stock...

Just an observation - after looking at the photo gallery on the Speads web site, I'd feel a lot more comfortable getting into one of their cars if the sides of the cockpit were a little higher, or...

I have never driven an FM, but have shared the track with them at SCCA regional races - at least with a regional driver, they have lots of torque and acceleration but don't carry as much speed...

Also, check some of the other threads on this forum for additional contacts or information. I just saw a post in the FC Classifieds by someone from Regina, SK. They should be able to provide first...

Well... I looked up Lloydminster, AB on Mapquest, and - WOW! That's quite a distance from any of the road racing tracks that I know of. I know that there is a track in Spokane, but SCCA doesn't...

If there was one available, I might... If there was one available with fenders, and there was a class for it where it would be competitive, I WOULD!

I own a VD RF95, in the pacific NW... If I'm...

Mike's post sounds a lot like a "statement of intent" to me ;)
