Does anyone in the CenDiv rent FMs at Majors anymore?

Thanks in advance

Just looked at receipt:

Fronts $245.00
Rears $245.00
Freight $15.70

I too purchased the Silver Carbotechs for the front and the rear, cost was between $500 and $600 for all four corners and shipping.

I planned to put them on for my last race but still have plenty...

Not exactly true.... I posted "can you tell me where I can purchase BALL bearings for the front end"

Nobody offered to sell any from their "inventory" or from the shelf/bin/bucket/whatever in...

Well I just paid $205.77 for the front end. This was 2 inners and 2 outers. Pretty much impossible to locate ball bearings...

Seems like I am spending more time trying to find/locate parts...

It looks like 17304 & 17305 is the correct size if you can source SKF Bearings.

Appears my issue is the place I ordered drums from sent the wrong drums, hence no assembly of the bearings, too...

Can someone confirm the following for me:

Front Drum Part Number ?
Front Drum Inner Bearing Part Number ?
Front Drum Outer Bearing Part Number ?

I have:
113-405-615AGR for my Drums...

Don't hinge it, make sleeves and pins. I am in the process of doing it to mine.

This will be much stronger than hinges.

I believe its a pretty accurate statement. Trust me I don't want to invest in a whole new front end and etc., but without wasting time going to a junk yard (which does not really exist here in...

I missed the opportunity to purchase some new inner and outer FAG Ball Bearings for our front spindles, both inner and outer.

Can someone suggest where I can purchase 2 inners and 2 outers that...

Expensive mistakes in more ways than one.

Congrats to everyone it was a great race to watch.

Feel free to take a ride up here and I can have you sit in 2 different Citations. One for sale the other currently being raced.

I just voted Yes!

So over 3 pages we have 2 votes, sounds about right. This proposal right now has the same legs as various others in the past. Place a vote and stop posting the pros and...

I did my Citation about 4 years ago and it was very easy. There are plenty of posts here on Apex. I did use an adhesive that was a 2 part mix from McMaster Carr, search and you can find the name. ...

There are HD dealerships all over the country and you would never have trouble finding parts. Spares... who needs them just take a ride to the closest dealer. Let them pay for it to sit on their...

I suggested the Harley engine on the FV Interchange about 5 years ago and the response was deafening crickets....

Bill,

Curious question here.... since next year without "Nationals" and "Regionals" throughout the upcoming year we will be mixing FV and FST, I would expect at some events that in the past years...

Tires are not the only reason our counts are low, cars are staying at home, expenses, etc. They are just one variable to the equation.

I would love to save money on them but I don't see that...

We are allowed to run slicks? Since when did that happen???

Sure that would be a great baseline to start with.

Thanks in advance!

Jeff,

Can I get every single picture of car #65 on track and also during prep time.

Mike.... can you provide all corresponding data of throttle input, steering, braking, shifting points, entry...

Well its good to see that after 8 pages we have made no progress, again... very similar to previous discussions concerning our class.

How about we move back on track to what the initial post was...

Since we have had these conversations many times in the past.... where do we go from here, how do we get there and how soon?

Maybe not a bad idea to organize a focused & cordial discussion at the...

I am all for looking down the road to ensure the life of our class. Its been mentioned before but we really could use some sort of plan.

Going faster, sounds great to me... disk brakes, why not?

Next year will be interesting to see how our paths start to merge together without Nationals anymore.

It is obvious something needs to be done and address current situations that can and will...

I replaced mine a few years ago and the Clecos were worth every penny. You can temporarily install the pan and verify accuracy and alignments.

Additionally I would encourage you not to dzus...

Having owned a Citation Speedsport for a few years now makes this a very interesting concept. Would like to see one on track and up close. I do like the ideas.

Thanks for posting the video Steve, feel bad for Lisa on that!

This happens every weekend it seems like... sometimes a car goes off, sometimes its just a close call but it is ridiculous.

I...

Thanks Brian M.

Does anyone know if the birthday party in April will count as National points, any points or???

JD

Oh boy here we go again.... looks like its going to be a long winter of bench racing!

I have not even unloaded from the runoffs yet! I would be willing to bet that any advantage these wheel...

We have plenty of horsepower....almost as much as this Can Am ATV

FYI.....

I was at a B & N bookstore yesterday and looked through HotVW's. There was a few pages from the Salt Flats and someone was there with a Lazer! Not much info about it but at least a...

I never did say it was "not" a benefit.

I believe and know there are many more variables to this equation. We have done all these surveys so far... how about survey the garage queens and ask...

I do not know how to attract more drivers to our class yet... do I wish I had the answer, Absolutely.

I would rather have a field of 20+ cars every race instead of less than 10 cars most of the...

Amon, re-read my post..... "Is there any logical path for any of these recommendations"

So, your recommendation is for me to not participate? Brillant idea!

These threads are getting so frickin lengthy and redundant.

Is there any logical path for any of these recommendations i.e. weight, tires, engines, suspension, chassis, bodywork, grid girls, etc?...

Deleted....

This is good, I just wish we could get more of the active racers to participate in these discussions. We have a good amount "kindof", but need a majority and then lets start going forward.

I...

Thats a start.

I'am curious what some "legitimate" concrete examples would be... instead of everyones perception.

Okay we are 5 pages into this discussion, with probably an infinite more.....

What's the plan, how do we get there and who is going to sail this ship? Is it just tires or do we need to address...

My statement of slowing our cars down with more "economical" tires was directed towards the other classes that we race with... "share" the track with.... not other FV's.

I am not worried about...

I know I sure would NOT be comfortable going through the Kink at Road America (or any other turn for that matter) flat out with radial street tires while a F500 decides he wants to go 2-wide and...

Bruce,

Thanks for the reply I think I have all info. Regardless anyone who came over to get my nose back on the car and off the ground, I greatly appreciate your efforts!

Sometimes its the...

Does anyone know of their crew members/drivers that assisted my car during the Runoffs?

I was black flagged:meatball: to come into the pits for my nose cone dragging on the ground and these...

I would probably get belts, maybe a helmet.... in the car before you go test in on the road again....:blackflag:

So............................ I take it Twister wont be joining us anytime soon?

I have to say watching the FV race online was one of the best races I have seen in a long time! Really made me wish I was there but hindsight is always 20/20. Congrats to everyone for putting on a...

Darryl,

Thanks for the response and info. I appreciate it.

Can someone give a break down or provide some info on operating expenses for the Standard FM not Pro. I am looking for info on what a typical race weekend costs and how much work is involved...
