Congrats to both Ryan and Sven for putting on a heck of a show. Shame it ended under yellow, but rules are rules.

Great racing. Got some positive attention for the class I think.

What Pipe? Same as what he would be running if it had been the previous 494 setup?

Its an 80" car.
1990 Red Devil.
1.375" Roll Hoop front and rear.

I have been autocrossing it but am trying to go road racing without being slower than an FV.

What do you recommend? Comet? Part#?

What are anyone's recommendations at this point - trying to move a project along.

Hey guys.

Looking to convert a 440 to a 593, and one of my obstacles is getting my Polaris P-85 primaries machined to a Rotax Taper.

Does anyone have any drawings or resources to point to?

I...

Hey Jay. Hobbyist racecar designer here. Are the drawings still available? Send me a PM?

Hope all is well.

I have used them in a few designs at my full time nuclear job. The cam handles were the style we used for positioning a hydraulic drill boring a ~ 4 and 1/2" hole and 5.5" weld prep. They weren't...

Have you thought about expanding pins from Carr-lane?

That's because it's not from Carr-lane or Mcmaster; They are Alcoa Cam-loc fasteners with a custom pull-ring handle. Crawford may have a part number.

Pi_guy: I'm Steve's Data guy, and there's only so much I can tell you here, but I will answer the general questions: First off, We were running F1600, F2000, and F4 this weekend. I was swamped, so I...

Their old show car was a Dallara F3. The FL15 is a Crawford Tub.

That's a pretty profound statement to a young engineer like me. Granted I haven't taken part in too many tire experiments. I know coefficient of friction will drop off as Normal load is increased but...

Steve,

Did you obtain Tire data from Hoosier or through testing? Did they have data for the 7 and 9 inch rims?

Maybe I'm just an unrealistic optimist, But I'd like to believe F500 and F600 can play nice together.

Now I don't know quite all the details of the throwing everyone's toys out of the playpen...

#12114 Submitted. Hopefully this can convince some of my Formula SAE buddies to get into club racing since the cars/equipment are similar to what they've already worked on.

Keep in mind that the larger bore requires a larger bolt, larger spacers, larger nut, larger housing, and more weld area. It's still not too big of a weight difference "for practical purposes" but in...

We used igus plastics for our steering shaft bushings in our Formula SAE cars at VT. Worked great, and being college engineering team meant we would get free samples from them.

I don't have too much wisdom to add, but for the 2011 Virginia Tech Formula SAE car, I had a few concepts sketched out in my logbook dated December '09. Some simple hand-calcs with an airfoil shape...
