Brian,

If you saw my son's in-car video as I have, you wouldn't arrive at the conclusion you made in the above post. The race is over and it's time to look ahead as the past isn't going to be...

We appreciate everyone's congratulations as it means a lot from those of you in our tight knit FV community! As many know, Brian has come close several times, but via hard work and car updates he was...

Check with Ray Carmody in New York as he use to be involved in building and setting up these cars.

100 LL AvGas..

I've actually met the guy as he lives near me and works at a Akron, Ohio VW bug shop. He's a nice guy
and I bet he really doesn't want to sell it, therefore the high asking price. The car really...

David,

I've completely stripped my frame down and actually located the ID Tag after using paint remover on it.
My ID tag indicates that my car is # 117 although I thought there were only 15-16...

Take it from an actual driver, the above post is so inaccurate in so many ways!

Steve,

Your car looks like a Zink Z-12 and has completely different frame and bodywork compared to my Z-18B. I think
Steve Lathrop previously said in another post that the Z-12 lower frame runs...

Mike,

Do you have an photo's of your Zink as I have a Z-18B (needs restored) along with several bodies out of the
Mid-West Council area.

Mark

John,

I don't believe that anyone who participated in this years Runoff's had any doubts regarding Andrew's engine and any grumbling were from those not really involved currently in the FV...

Chris,

I'm more concerned about the weather next year at RA in October than the FV car count as 30+
cars will be achieved again. Your thoughts about Indy may come true as that's my plan in 21'...

Andrew's engine IS legal...enough said as he earned the win fair & square!

We were at VIR for ten days and that's hard for many drivers and families to do. We could have cut that short by
testing later in the week but you're basically there for at least 7 days and the...

David,

It's good to know this and my nose is also one piece with the cowling as part of it. If you ever want to sell
the extra nose, please let me know.

Thanks!

Mark

David,

Do you know anyone who might have cowling and nose molds for the Vega?

Mark

Protoform P-2 scoop? It has some characteristics similar to the P-2 and if so, check with Ray Carmody
as he has several molds...

I have to agree with Ed and after nearly 25 years of adjusting brakes, I'm looking forward to some day adding discs to the front of my Vee. We just raced this past weekend at PIRC and the biggest...

I believe that Stu Delaney had 18 heat cycles on his tires after Sunday's race at Mid-Ohio and he said
they were done by then. So I'm guessing, based on Stu's opinion that you can probably get...

+30 cars expected for Mid-Ohio the end of June, so come race with us and let's shoot for 40+ FV entries!

Mark

Interesting!

Greg & Matt,

Brian and I have wondered about the possibilty of trying a sequential in an FV which would eliminate
the sloppiness you mentioned in your post. As with push button actuators, the...

Matt,

I remember when I first started racing seeing a cable operated clutch on a few older vee's, but not the actual
shift linkage. I would think that you would have a large amount of trouble...

Chris,

I agree with the majority of your most recent post, especially your second and third paragraph. The fact remains that you can't punish drivers who ordered the wide-track kits by declaring...

Chris,

So to answer your last sentence or two: Who is going to make that decision? A board that is comprised of several members already owning or having developed the narrow-track kits? The...

Michael,

You ask why Brian has an issue in regards to your original post? It's quite simple, he and others who are considering or those who have purchased kits from other suppliers don't want...

!

David,

Mine is NO longer there unfortunately.

Mark

David,

Where do you locate the serial number on a Vega as I thought you mentioned finding it on your Vega?

Mark

David,

You should see me get out of my current vee as it takes me longer than most with the Hans on etc...

Mark

David,

I haven't been in the 160's since 10th grade!

Mark

David,

My son and I probably won't fit since we're both over 6'1" tall and 200lbs. We might have to get
Ed Womer or someone to make some minor changes to the frame without hurting/butchering the...

Sounds good David. They just appear to be so big compared to the modern vee's my son and I race! :)

David,

I would say Vanguard frames due to the width and rollbar. We haven't picked ours up yet due to
the poor weather last weekend and this weekend looks worse so maybe in ten days??

Mark

David,

Keep posting these great photo's from John McCollister! The photo you just posted appears to be from the Route 18
location that I visited several times in the early 80's. I hope to get my...

Chris,

We have plenty of tires as my son races FV in the Majors series. I'm more disappointment by the SCCA hierarchy than anything else and commend those that have worked hard to bring a...

Glad I'm sticking with Formula Vee Challenge Cup (FVCC) for 2019 as the radials have their pos./ neg. , but we
don't have this kind of blatant B.S. from an organization that is so out of touch with...

Shocking!!

Bench racer,

Fake news again! We're NOT trying to relitigate anything nor do we give a Da#n if other FV drivers want to carry on with slicks or not! What we want to see are more FV's on the track,...

Brian,

Our goal is not to force anyone onto a specific tire, but rather offer an alternative to the existing tire currently
in use which as been previously mentioned, usually lasts 4 heat cycles...

The NE FV group is doing great and should be proud of their achievements as well as the FVCC group. Well done by both!

Same old bench racing reply! When you actually get behind the wheel of an FV, maybe your reply will have some credence! The CC is gaining more and more new members each year bench racer!

I have to agree with Ed's assessment of the race as I was also part of the 9 car pack and it was intense racing! I've had close racing with others in the past, but not with that many cars involved...

It's been mentioned several times that you're NOT required to use the discs in either the SCCA Majors series or FVCC....If you don't want to go to the expense of converting, then don't and continue...

Follow the money trail and you'll find your answer.

Greg,

You mentioned above that the tires could last a year or more. At last season's Pitt race, on FOUR year old tires, I finished toward the front of the pack and abused my tires in the process...

Correct, and many of those naysayers don't participate in FV except to bench race or bench complain as many see it! :checkered:

Steve,

The wheel and tire you're looking at is the FV Challenge Cup set-up and NOT the std. SCCA FV wheel / tire comb.....

Mark

Boothy,

You don't weld on the bellcranks but rather the mounts for the bellcranks as the bellcranks are removeable, but the blocks for the bellcranks aren't without much work. You'll also want the...

Contact Steve Pastore at VSR and he can either make or sell you the smaller tie-rods. Do you have
the Bell-cranks that are part of the beam and the tie-rods attach to them?

Mark

Brian,

What SCCA "Disc" rule are you referring to as they can't seem to agree on "spec tires" or anything
else, and I'm sure the CC would love to have coordinated rules with the SCCA, but will...
