13x11 rear
Brad,
I can't help but think that if you buy a $30k P2 car, and start your SCCA experience with it (after "racing dirt modifieds for years and then a 1996 Firebird in the Chump Car"), and if it's...
Many moons ago, I used a 16' utility trailer. It was big enough to have a rudimentary tire rack on the front and hold a spare nose/wing assembly at the rear, with nothing overhanging.
Before you...
I would recommend reaching out directly to someone running the cars, but failing that - there appears to be a wealth of information here:

This is what I had for my FE2. Being that both cars are of Van Diemen origin and they're visually quite similar, it is possible that the rack would also work on a PFM, but if not it's a...
Dan, I looked at everything after I sold my FE2, and spent a lot of time figuring out what "competitive" would cost. Ballpark figure, after you buy the car, you're going to spend double on running...
The opposite of my experience. I had a Longacre digital pressure gage that would randomly turn off when being used, and they offered zero support other than "Buy a new head". It was about 3 years...
I'm pretty sure Moses Smith entered the car at a Road America regional, and the lap times were solidly in the FE2 range. Not surprising since it is basically the same powertrain, similar aero,...
Check with Paul Ravaris. He had a PFM car listed for sale with 206 hp at the rear wheels.
It seems to me that Moses and team have designed... an FE2. I haven't seen purchase or running cost projections, but it's hard for me to imagine that it could be less to buy than a good, used FE2...
I'm an interested bystander... currently running FE, but let's say FB/F1000 is aspirational for me. And, I didn't vote in the poll.
[Update - what I wrote below is apparently not accurate; the BoD...
Well when last I submitted a comment about the Runoffs (a couple years ago) I actually got an email from the club racing technical manager stating, specifically, "the BoD manages the requirements for...
That URL is for the CRB. Used for things like competition adjustments. This rule came from the Board of Directors; they don't have a submission form online, only email addresses.
Does anyone know if the BoD has met since this has been announced? Do they publish meeting dates in advance?
I wrote my letter against the Runoffs criteria change (even though it frankly doesn't...
The Feb 2017 GCR included in 3.1.1.A.1:
"There may be a non-Runoffs eligible component of an event.Non-Runoffs eligible classes must run in their own group(s) and may not be combined in Runoffs...
Looks like last year's group 7 race started at 5:34 pm, and duration was nearly 35 minutes. Also looks like the "planned" start time was 4:45. Results were printed at 6:19 pm, and official at 6:40.
When FM first started running SCCA, it was classed in FC, against mostly F2000 cars. An F2000 was usually faster. Current club F2000/FC should be faster than FM. With the new FE tire, FM and FE are...
Does it have an SCCA Logbook and Homologation Certificate? If it does, you could probably contact SCCA HQ and get some information. Likewise if it's a CASC or other Logbook.
If you can find a...
I last raced my FM in 1998. It was getting old and tired then (original motor, 1988 car, approximately), and I had pretty much already decided to do a ground-up over the winter. Then I crashed and...
:meatball: :(
Nobody knows?
I think that looks like the original Russell bodywork, c. 1985.
Can anyone tell me the overall length, tip of nose to back of rear wing endplate, of a standard FM?
