On mine, I believe was common, there is a small tube down thru the cell, so get a clear flexible tube (that tolerates gas) that fits down into that fixed tube. Push the flexible tube down into the...

Wow ! This is a blast from the past ! I raced my Lynx B - FV with Rodne back in the 1970's. I remember once when I ran my Winkelmann WDF-2 in an SCCA National at Sears Point in the later 1970's,...

We just started using an Anti-Gravity Lithium Ion battery, ATX-20 HD, with 900 CA, 30 AH (PbEq). & weighs 5 lbs. It started my Pro FM cold easily at the beginning of the race weekend (after doing...

I agree. This summer I bought a 1980 Crossle 40F and it turns out I drove this car back in 1993. Lots of great memories, pictures, my signature in the log book, etc. It was well maintained,...

Well, this is looking bleak... One "plan" and one "long shot' (which I clearly understand), no other takers? Any other FM's planning to go to the Indy Runoffs??? I even have my engine at Daryl's...

Jim - that is the correct part # for the current "2 prong" mount for the Solo 2 (just be sure you do NOT get the single prong for the older Solo 1). $14.99 at Pegasus. Happy New Year buddy !!!

Howdy ya'll. SCCA will not "recognize" a separate FM championship within FX, at the 2021 Indy Runoffs, as they did at the 2020 Runoffs at Road America. Deanna said that was for the first year only....

You guys are so funny !!! I give a big opening for people to really say some rude things, and -- "crickets" ? LOL !!! (I know, the "loophole" is probably getting "fixed", but I needed to rant a...

Wow ! I see the FM/FX runoffs race results are final. At least now we know, based on the protest rulings at the runoffs, that tires in FM are basically open. So, next season I am going to run the...

these are as close as I could measure my standard FM by myself:

this is with the nose & front wings removed:

right at 13 feet 0 inches from the rear wing (end plates extends the farthest) to...

I just got a response from the Cal Club registrar, about the Fontana Majors race in January 2020. She said "FM is no longer a class, it is now incorporated into FX".

This is bull****...

I guess I missed this earlier.

Please see the December SCCA Fastrack, where the CRB is proposing to the SCCA Board to eliminate FM and put us into a new FX catch-all class, with specifically F4...

No responses ??? So I will chip in... All the internals for a legal FM engine are stock, absolutely no porting or any other modifications to the stock engine, as built & sealed exclusively by...

I agree with Victor. & it sounds like you need to find a replacement oil filler tube? I would contact Daryl Drummond, our engine builder, or good luck with a junk yard? (& just FYI - one of my...

I plan to be there. I probably won't race, but it will be great to see you all, & of course - especially Al !!!

"No one's having more fun !!!" congrats !

It is a flat metal frame, precisely cut to fit around the edge of the oil pan, between the bolt heads and the pan. Then when you tighten the pan bolts it spreads out the load and provides a more...

Just to add: before you pull the gearbox - wedge a short 2x4 between the frame and the rear of the engine oil pan, to support the back of the engine and not stress the front engine mount/spider. ...

go to ICSCC.com for tentative race schedule for 2017. Thanks for posting ICSCC !!!

yes! the green goop...

A lot of people use Mobil 1, Amsoil or other good quality full synthetic manual gear oils, usually the 75W-140 heavy duty manual gear oil. (I must note that FM's are a lot harder on gears than FF) ...

Well, I use the scientific method of sticking my little finger in the fill plug hole (right side) so the inner edge of the hole is at my second joint. The oil level should touch the end of your...

one more quick thought: if you started it several times & only let it idle and did not rev it up a little, the plugs can foul pretty quickly & then the engine won't rev well at all, although usually...

There is no vacuum line to the distributor, just set with the engine rev'd up a little... About 22 deg advance should be good to start. See other posts. Others, more expert than me, may chime in...

Great race guys! Now that looked like FUN!!! :thumbsup:

Last time I talked to Daryl, last summer, he no longer stocks/sells Idemitsu (engine oil & gas pre-mix), so last time I got it from Mazdatrix in Signal Hill CA.

I prefer it because it is made...

(Ted - better yet - you should buy 8 of the new lower a-arms and give me 4 of them!!!)

:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup: :beer::beer::beer: :D;):rolleyes:

Just to be clear, what usually "broke" was the lower, outer 1/2" x 1/2" camber Heim joint (rod end), not the a-arm itself. I have never broken an inner 7/16" x 7/16" Heim joint or the a-arm itself...

(Just a note: Thanks David for expertly wiring up my MOTEC @ the PIR double Majors race! The GPS is awesome! + I'm anxious to get the brake pr sensors installed soon too. You're the MAN! ++ Good luck...

My experience is that the 4 "camber rod ends" are usually the ones that fail. Those are the outer rod ends on the lower a-frame at each corner, where you set the wheel camber (1/2" x 1/2" - right...

Doug - hope you are A-OK.

I just sent a letter to the CRB and my Board member OPPOSING combining FM & FE.

It is too bad the SCCA put us in this position by creating a second spec formula class, and fairly recently. I'm...

And be sure to get "narrow banded" radios which use a 12.5 KHz bandwidth, rather than the older/current 25 KHz bandwidth, if possible. The FCC is requiring this for all "public safety and...

I definitely want "FM - ONLY". Three full 20 minute qualifying sessions wouldn't be too bad (no shorter, please). Each class should get their own qualifying at the Runoffs, if at all possible, so...
