I agree with all the praise above.
The customer service is awesome!!
I will never go any where else for my FF engines. They are always there to help (even over the phone sometimes) at every race....

Hi Rick

Do you have an update on the entries for this event?

I just installed an air fuel mixture gauge on my vee. I am not sure what is considered a good reading. I used to have an EGT guage and I know what that reading should be, but not sure what the Air...

Social media is a great way to get the word out about how great it is to be a vee driver. A couple years ago I started a FaceBook page called - West Coast Formula Vees - just to show what a great...

You should give Dietmar a call as mentioned before. Each one of these guys have their specialty. I would recommend Brian for any trans issues. He is awesome at building them.

For my engines I...

It not only happened to the front runners but us mid packers also had that happen. I also got punted while coming OUT of turn 3 and got spun to fall back even farther.
It seems that a lot of the...

Hey Brian

I see your scoop kind of resembles the Lazer scoop. I can tell you one thing I NEVER have any issues with running hot in this car. Even when running out here in this miserable heat in...

Steve

When you compare the numbers of drivers from the East attending the Runoffs this year compared to west drivers going East are not a good comparison. Everyone knows that there are far less...

I also have been running the Italian front drums for over 2 years now and have never had any issue with failure of them.
I would recommend them to anyone to use.

I agree with Daryl. Just swish it back and forth in a bucket of warm soapy water with Tide then rinse it the same way in plain warm water, let it dry then you are good to go.

Brian,

I agree with Mark. I can't wait to see you guys out there to carry us West Coast drivers. It will be cool to see Mike have a challenge, especially by you guys. :thumbsup:

Looking...

Brian, maybe you and Derek should have come to Laguna this weekend and drive representing the West coast since you seem to think that the drivers that did participate this weekend should be...

All 3 drivers (Terran, Aaron and Mark) drove a great race. :checkered:

Ok this may be a stupid question but why does the option of running on American Racer slicks compound #32 never come up as an option to save money on tires. They are about half the cost as the...

Cam Lock are much easier to use when you are in tight spaces like in a Lazer!! I say cam-lock all the way!!!

Hi All
