Bid to $80K, reserve not met.

Don't know about the air ducts, but WTF is that guy doing? Looks perverted.

Some Ocelot photos here (including the Ashbach car):

This question hasn't been responded to, so I assume there's not a lot of opinion out there. I don't have any great answer, but here's a good explanation/definition of scrub radius: ...

Excellent, John, thank you. The Smith write-up is helpful as well.

I have (2) 10" wide 13" wheels from a mid-70's GRD. Both wheels have (3) 5/16"-24 threaded holes at 120 degrees, with surface plates rivited on. What are they for and how should I plug them? ...

Found another one...still can't see how to include an oil filter, though. Is that fitting on the left (the car's left) open into the left.-side gallery?

Nice summary, Lee. As you note, the photos don't show the pressure-out port on the pump. It looks as if the pressure outlet may run through a conduit integral to the Rowland seal carrier (that...

FYI, the LF-14 mounting holes are 3.25" centers (which match the current Wilwood's) and take a 10" diameter rotor. If you go with donuts, check out the BMW/Volvo driveshaft guibos, call it a "safety...

This 159 is very close: https://www.supercars.net/blog/1951-alfa-romeo-159-alfetta/

Could be a 158 or copy thereof.

This is the RAKC, so there's a larger turnout than usual and more activities to cram into the day. In general, RMVR runs the VFF, CF and FB together; the "other" open wheel group is VW-powered---FV...

RMVR is hosting our annual Race Against Kids' Cancer at High Plains Raceway this weekend, with 44 entries in Fast Open Wheel. Here's how they break down: VFF-26; CF-13; FB-4; F5000-1.

We had the first event with the restored Rostron at Pueblo Motorsports Park this past weekend. Car worked well, driver rusty, but qualified second in VFF, placed second and third in Saturday races,...

Steve Nickless' "Anatomy and Development of the Formula Ford" has a photo of a McGregor FF1 and a short paragraph on page 102.

Mark, there are "good" cars in the back of the pack and there are "lesser" cars at the front. Nearly any car can be developed and be competitive--it's about car and driver development, not the...

Design. The Cosworth BDD crank was narrow journal, 12 bolt. More information at https://www.historicracing.org.uk/parts/images/engine/specsheet.html

After multiple delays and sidetracks, the Rostron is finished and back on the ground.

Is there a resource anywhere for calculating the right range of valving? I have a set, 220/80 fronts, 180/60 rears that I'd like to use on a vintage FF.

Tom, you may find that what works at HPR may not work at Pueblo. We had a rash of missed laps last season.

Couldn't capture the photo, but here's what's written there:

"ABOVE The Formula Fords were more expensive
to build. Most of the suspension was made from
production parts for small European...

Getting the Rostron body work prepped, we find this paint scheme beneath the black paint. It looks like the car was all green initially, with the red and blue added later. Since I'm still trying to...

Here's a photo of Terry in the Rostron this past season at Pittsburgh VGP:

Hi Lee. Your old Rostron is alive and well in Colorado, racing primarily with RMVR. The current owner is Terry Allard. Terry initially bought it from Chris Alford, raced it for a number of years,...

Seems like you are not getting all the air out of the lines. Personal preference I guess, but I've seen a lot of that problem with front-mounted tanks. I have a friend who is running an electric...

Charlie passed away in early September. He was a special guy and is greatly missed out here in RMVR. If I find who is dealing with his cars and race stuff, I'll pass that along.

After much R&D (reconnaissance and duplication), I did replicate the magic front ARB:

The frame was replaced after your car came to the states, but the current owner still has the original frame. It shows where the forward braces were attached to the roll bar. I don't know when or...

Stuart, thanks for chiming in. The two CT-3 Rostrons here in Colorado are the only examples I've found, maybe the last two in existence, as only ten or so were built. Your old car (St....

It's the ratio of the cylinder piston areas. You're at 1;1 now.

The .875 slave will reduce force by ~26%
Going to a .625 master will reduce force by ~30%
Doing both reduces force by ~49%
...

Ratio choices depend primarily on which track you will be running on. Someone will probably chime in if you tell us where you intend to run .

We had 44 VFF's and CF's last year...

Not enough photos, but the roll bar is definitely GRD-ish.

Can't be too many cars that have a sprint car engine cover like that--Crossle?

Can't confirm the 11 9/16" layshaft length, but it's a MK 9 for FF w/2 1/8" adapter, distance is .300".

Same deal here. I bought a set of Grayston 7/16" X 5/8" sleeve. OD too large, not concentric. Returned them to Burton.

Haven't had to replace mine (T-200) but you might be able to match dimensions at this site:

Thanks, John. Do you have any recollection of the car pictured in post #5? The body work is painted black, but underneath is a bright green, which may be the original color. Have you any photos of...

Here's a possible solution for a replacement filter element. I called K&N tech support and described the problem. Tech came up with this filter, Model RC-5129:

Probably a long-shot, but I've got a new (still in factory wrap) base plate for the K&N angled filter (56-9290). Not for sale but would trade for an E-9141 filter element, new or near-new.

I could be interested in the front tub section (aka, the side panels around the front suspension connections and floor, forward of the main tub).

Aircraft Windshields has the windscreen, Allan....

Here's a link to the eBay offer he put up after getting my dimensions: ...

Check your PM's.

Here's the Lola, similar but different.
