When I had Campbell Motorsport I did some business with Keith. First class guy.

To date we have bought and resold 2 cars. One of those cars returned immediately to the rack, the other we hope will be running next year. Recently we facilitated the sale of a 3rd car that will...

While you may have other issues with the brake system, per Steve Davis and my original post on this subject, until you have the balance bar 90 degrees to the pedal when depressed, the balance bar is...

I agree with Brian, that is what I was trying to say. My information comes from an old Tilton catalog. When they wrote the instructions you have, I don't think they were thinking about FV.

If...

Based on the picture, I think that you need to adjust your balance bar push rod lengths in a different fashion. If you are setting them up in a static (resting) position, this will not work. The...

Details of car #2 are in the FST For Sale section, pictures to follow next week.

This is an interesting discussion but let's get back to post 1, it is nice clean design. Its design merits can be debated, it may be of a traditional FV design, but you can't argue with success. ...

Because of the CV-19 virus we have again been forced to alter our schedule. Everyone was excited about Barber, but state and employer restrictions on the majority of our drivers it a deal breaker. ...

That was me. Lots of friends in those pictures, great times.

I agree with Greg that for a "field find" this one has more potential than most. However, like all of these cars, it can rapidly become a never ending money pit.

While the engine is the most...

It took a little longer then we had planned but the 2019 Hoosier Racing Tire Formula First Championship Series schedule is now complete. All weekends will include 2 championship races.

May 10-12...

Just a few final details to confirm, we hope it will be complete in the next few days.

Congratulations to the 2018 top finishers in the12 race series (held over 6 weekends)

1st Doug Seim
2nd Robert Clark
3rd Matt Seim

2018 Most Improved Driver: Matt Seim
2018 Rookie of the...

My guess-
Lynx B or copy
Elite Motorsport center and nose (sold by Fred Clark at Caracal)
Citation style zero roll
No idea on the tail

In the 80’s and early 90’s you could use 1.250 OD tube for roll hoops if the weight was under 825, without driver. There were several FV, F440, and DSR cars built to that rule. SCCA was not...

From day one to now the car has been competitive- that has never been an issue. Steve Lathrop did an excellent job, right out of the box.

Cooling also has never been an issue. The Falcon body...

Kevin should have all the parts you need, probably on the shelf, and the ability to do the welding of the blocks to the beam.

I am sure you saw it- but don't forget to remove the front motor mount. I usually would remove all 3 bolts (2 to tabs on the chassis rails and 1 to the front of the motor) and drop it completely off...

Entered in FE, currently 4th, Finn Lazier is 3rd.

The last aluminum wheels I remember were 2 years ago from VTO Performance. As I recall he originally had 100 and was down to the last 25 which were purchased by current FST drivers. He indicted to...

That is my old car. Bernie Schotz bought it from me, and then Tyler and his father bought it from Bernie. From what I have seen, it is still a great looking car, that is doing well.

If you want...

Steve,

Looking forward to seeing you at Mid Ohio.

We all know Jason's life is very busy- but all would sure like to see him back racing his FST, if only for a few weekends each season. Good car- good racer.

I support the efforts to find a spec tire for FV- it is long over due.

I just want to caution those thinking about doing races as an FS class car, that they might run into issues. FS is an SCCA...

If you can (and want to) store a trailer at your house- a small enclosed trailer may be the answer. Most FV's can fit in a 10' long enclosed trailer if you remove the nose. (I did it for 5 years.)...

The .500 dowel is held in place with a short 10-32 set screw. The end of the set screw is flush or slight recessed into the block. Look in the block welded on the beam, there may be some dirt in...

I believe the Road America date is August- not September as shown on this release.

The majority of the cars I built I did not use the TRW box- but installed used/ rebuilt/ OEM/ VW boxes. They are probably getting harder to find, but find a decent one and you will have it for a long...

This year was a very good year for FST racing., Penny and I had a great time at all the races. A special thank you needs to go out to Robert G. who has spent considerable time and effort to make the...

Read my post #5 in this previous thread. If you really want to race the cars there are far better/ less expensive options.

Unless a car is crazy cheap, or you have a good race engine, I...

A couple more thoughts-

If you are frying your heads I am surprised your oil temperature is below 200. Generally if one is running extremely high- the other will also be high.

The scoops...

At one point this might have been a Lynx- but the leading arm conversion is not Lynx/ Caracal.

Every month or 2 a car like this shows up and it looks attractive because of the low initial...

Contact Robert Guhde. Robert and Doug Seim have done a very successful Mysterian conversion. Robert is a regular poster on Apex and I am sure he would be willing to share what they have learned over...

Jim and I have lost track of how many Lazers, Citations, XTCs, and Evolutions he has assembled over the past 20+ years. He's a good customer, but a better friend.

I am sure you will be pleased.

Steve,

Long time- no see (Peaches, Atlanta- trading shots in the early 90's after the FV race??).

Welcome back.

Ryan,

Nice work with the video. Also like the music- who is it?

I had the problem twice in 20 years. The car had nothing in 3rd and 4th gears- I would change a bunch of stuff and drive it as fast as I could around the paddock in 2nd gear and all seemed fine. When...

Joe,

As the guy who has built many of the Lazers- I would not have recommended it to you based on your size. At 5'-10" - 150#, I fit fine and was able to drive it for many years with no bleeding...

Standard Citation and XTC were both the same at approximately 5 degrees.

Apparently someone changed the Lazer you are measuring because it normally would have 4 degrees built into the chassis. As Scott did, many people use shims or aluminum blocks to change to their...

I agree with Tom, talk to Steve. He is a good guy, has a wealth of FV knowledge, and can help get you going in the right direction. By working with someone like Steve you can learn a lot faster and...
