Finally moved from a belt drive to a chain.

What do people do about chain guards? I've installed some angle aluminum to make a U-channel above and below the chain and have a plate in front of...

Is it true that there are "lots of 494 cars sitting in garages"?

You do have to rebuild engines after a while, especially 2-strokes. How many race-ready 494 cars are there, really?

Dave and I...

There are probably several reasons why people have dropped out or reduced their racing.

Time/money are probably a factor for a lot of people. The economy is coming back, but there are still a...

Thanks again to the F600 Challenge and Strategic Wealth Management/Jeremy Swank for encouraging people to show up for the event.

The weather turned out to be better than forecast (it was dry for...

I'm surprised nobody from Mitchell Racing (Jack/Jeremy/Russel/Don/etc) is showing up.
The Texas crowd is under represented too (Joe/Chris/Glen/Mike)...

I kind of expected 20+ cars showing up...

I can't really see in the tank, but it is roughly 48 cubic inches (that's 84% of a quart?).

The races in Iowa were 20 minutes and 35 laps (roughly 30 minutes), so I doubt it was running very low...

Yes, I bleed the line by removing the screw, which should bleed any air out of the pump too.

I consistently get a bubble in my oil line (the 5/16 line from the oil tank to the engine).

At Heartland, I noticed bubbles going backwards up the line to the oil tank after the Sunday race (when...

Dave got permission to go, so we are planning to go (and have signed up).
Hoping more people will be able to make it, but I guess more money for us if they don't.

Okay, even if "most" cars can go heavier, I personally still prefer a lighter/nimbler race car that can stop/corner faster and I don't care as much about raw straight line speed. Having a lighter...

you can't raise the weight above 875 without rebuilding the frames of most cars or getting SCCA to increase the max weight for the tube size/thickness/material most cars use.

Most F500s have thinner walled roll hoops/cages/bracing because the rules allow for it (I think there is a specific exemption for cars up to 875 pounds allowing for thinner tubes). The cars are...

As far as the stock configuration and water outlet elbows changes...

I think the current rules say that both cylinder head water outlet elbows must be on the engine, but either water outlet can be...

The reason I posted here was so people could review the cps and check for errors

I was looking at the GCR (the new January 2018 edition) and noticed several glaring typos/editing errors that have crept in over time... I also want to propose a couple of changes to fix things that...

If they split 2-stroke and 4-stroke, how does anyone think either class would survive with enough numbers to be a runoffs class?

Basically, 40 drivers signed up for the runoffs (2 dropped out...

Could someone on the ad hoc committee summarize the take-away from this survey?

I was a little surprised by the 593 as the baseline results. I guess it is pretty clearly being voted to be the...

Thompson had a 593.

Brothers had a 494 rave (I think).

Stewart was the only MC powered car and was swapping the lead...
