Available for hire for the upcoming SCCA runoffs at Indianapolis Speedway. Have experience in open wheel cars but willing to work on anything. 15 minutes from track so lodging isn't required, have...

Good to see the car back together!

I'm sure you know this already, but just in case those are for a Pinto FC car running a 10:31 R&P. Looking forward to seeing you also!

Here's the gear-sets I just put in:

1st: 19/33
2nd: 20/30
3rd: 23/29
4th: 24/26

Those were the closest I had to my "initial recommendation" chart

StumpThumper,

Your opinion isn't unimportant relative to this topic of conversation. Many people reference the "possible new people" into vee and the hopes of bringing them in. It may not carry a...

Yes this is a valid point, and unfortunately that is a factor that plays into the strategy game of tire choice & management. If we look at the majors specifically and include the runoffs, you still...

Here's an idea I'll throw out to everyone as food for thought; how bout instead of "spec"ing out a specific tire for the class (as this has gone NOWHERE for how long now?) how bout putting a limit on...

With this thread discussing Womers, would anyone happen to have any detailed pictures of the air ducts these cars use? Would appreciate it much if someone were to send me a couple! :thumbsup:

For...

Thanks for the replies everyone,

2BWise: we are currently exploring other engine configurations such as singles and twins, but I suspect that many of our team will be in favor of the I-4 engines....

Hey everyone,

I just got on board with the Formula SAE team at my school and I volunteered to be a part of the team working with the old car, and our task is to look into a new power plant for...

SpacemanSpiff,

I don't believe anyone is downing younger people who are interested in racing but don't have specific knowledge about the class they're interested in. Most comments are generalized...

Here is a link to some really nice pictures taken of the Vee group during the race. Photos begin on page 5 in case the link takes you to the beginning of the slide.

Bill,

I wish I could say there were some FST's from here in California that were going :( but unfortunately all efforts are for Laguna in October.

If the goal is at least 20 cars and there...

Thanks for the kind words! Glad you had a great time at Laguna Russ.

As Russ said, anyone who is looking for a car for the upcoming runoffs event at Laguna Seca as an alternative to towing out,...

Hi Kevin,

Welcome to the class! For as much "discussion" that takes place here on Apexspeed about the class, you won't find a better group of people. Feel free to ask as many questions as you...

Great looking car! Love the overhead shot, definitely makes it look very sleek and Ford like :D

There are a couple of us "west coast kids" that do more than just changes tires. My Caldwell didn't rebuild itself from the chassis up :p But for the most part the lack of mechanical skill and desire...

Formula Vee people unite! My video has been selected for this month's SCCA GoPro contest! I need as many "likes" for my video to win a gopro camera! A couple other Vee contestants have won this...

racye13,

I talked with porterfield on Wednesday of last week to order a set of brake shoes and they said they have plenty in stock. I took a session of the test day I was running to trying...

in jstoezel's post with the link to the WASP fst it looks completed and track ready, yet awhile ago I saw posts of all the WASP specific stuff for sale. What happened with the car? Did it ever see...

I have been reading this thread like everyone else for the past couple of days and finally decided to input my $.02, so here it goes...

With the debate about attracting new blood and/or younger...

Are the saferacer decals mandatory for any and every national race throughout the country? Just wondering as I am entered for the National at California Speedway next weekend and haven't heard about...

I know this is a bit off topic, but anyone know if Avon makes formula vee tires? Saw a picture in a recent Victory Lane magazine with a zink that looked like it did and had a friend point it out to...

Anyone know where to get double adjusters for leading/trailing arms? I am going to be making a new set and need some

An RCA formula vee would be the ultimate car for converting into a FST to make it look like an F2 or maybe even an F1 car from the '60s because of the cigar like shape to it, plus with the fat tires...

Quite possibly ;) I've been having fun in my drafting class and we are about to get into CAD within the next couple of weeks and was thinking about using the open lab to see how good I am and try to...

Bill,

Would you happen to have a measurement for the distance of where the beam bolts on like the evolution fst to the center line of the front spindles? (that is where the front wheel base is...

Thanks Bruce, doing something like this from you makes me feel so special :p haha

I doubt anyone will spoil the specifics, but for those who had wisdom teeth being yanked out as the race was going on and haven't watched the race yet try to keep details to a minimum please ;)

Like Kim said this was an awesome weekend filled with lots of great racing, great food, and great friends (oh and great lighting storms).

A big thanks to VARA for hosting this event and letting...

I had a feeling I was completely off :p makes much more sense now. I'm used to calling them axle tube retainer rings

What exactly is the axle cover? Is it out on the end of the axle tube where the rotor and such is located? I know that with drums there is a cap that bolts into the casting piece which holds the...

That's perfect, just had to look for it

I have a certificate for a case of K&N oil filters and trying to figure out the specific ones I need. My father and I use the SR oil manifold blocks...

I watched the race live on speedcasttv.com, and I believe they will have all the races on the site available to watch sometime soon. I know they still have last year's runoffs still available, so I...

Does anybody know if the molds for the D-13S is still out there? or if anybody is pulling any new D-13 bodies? Just curious as my D-13's bodywork is very beat up and should probably be replaced by a...

Here are some pictures of my setup.

The air ducts definitely do not fit well within the tin over the cylinders & heads, so im sure I am losing some air through those gaps. The engine does have...

Hey everyone,

After running Thunderhill raceway this weekend and with a couple previous races, I am having some issues trying to keep the engine running cool. The air ducts I have on the car are...

As Dan W. will be at the Thunderhill regional race this up coming weekend I will be there too. Making it up there would definently be a bit of a trip for you, but maybe it would give you a picture of...

jsallenbach

I don't know your situation, but if you have the ability to make it up north a bit to the San Francisco region we run a pretty good field here. We have been averaging up to 10 Vee's...

Hey sorry to intrude on this thread, was just poking around and found it.

fezzic181 when I looked at the youtube link, I got all excited thinking it was video of a rear pointing camera at the...

Well Bob, I hope you like the new paint job I gave the Caldwell! :D It is a fast car alright, The previous father/son duo i mentioned at the beginning of this thread were pretty fast in it (mostly...

Wow! I am amazed at the turnout with this post! Thank you everyone who has commented on this!

The leading arm conversion was done by Ron Chuck, that I know. With Bob N. running a brown D-13... the...

Hey everyone, I have just gotten into racing Formula Vee (although i have been around vee's ever since i could make my way through the paddoc) out on the west coast and I am competing in the San Fran...
