And don't forget to upgrade your rear view mirrors. Maybe they should allow rear view cameras for the driver....
Yes, I know for a fact there is some cheating. If you are defending the global warming lie then why contribute to a websute or participate in motorsport where the ''majority'' of the racecars are...
I asked a simple question and all I wanted was a simple answer, thank you....
You get it,

This is my 40th year in SCCA Club/Pro Racing. First of all I never mentioned a year when it was delivered from Haas. I bought my very first WC FSV in 1985, my Lola T252 HU26, so I'm very well versed...
First of all I have the Haas tag that came with it and the Serial# on both match. Second, it's quite possible that someone ordered this years later for a later updated AC FSV or maybe a car the was...
Gary, how many of the vintage cars out there are truly ''legal''. RT5's have 5-speed boxes. My T328 has ground effects side pods similar to an RT5. If you want to be specific then cars that never had...
The reason I have posted this question is because I have a brand new NOS 5-speed MK9 with a Quaife ''still in the crate'' originally from Haas set up for an air cooled FSV. I have a Lola T250 HU09...
Here's one to ponder. How do you reconfigure a Hewland from a standard air cooled VW orientation to being flipped over for most every other application. The rear end cover must be changed for proper...
Does anyone know if TW Mouldings in the UK has closed their doors. Their website is no longer active.
Thanks,

In SCCA they were FC, in Bosch Pro Series they were SV. Charlie, didn't the '86 and later cars have pushrods on all corners. I was looking to see if the gearbox rear cover had the casting for the...
Unfortunately, I have never been able to acquire any history on the car. I did email Gerald Swan at Lola Heritage. The chassis log shows HU97 was Invoiced to Carl Haas (as Lola’s North American...
My ground up restored T250 is ready and waiting. Trying to get my WC T328 finished as well if it does happen.........
The FAILED sprinkler system..........

My son took these pictures from the warehouse on 4/30/20. He lost an '89 Supra Turbo which had a ton of money in it, a beautiful '86 Corolla GTS with a fresh 4A engine and long list of mods ready for...
Bryon, it's hard to believe that our cars were sitting next to your MR2's and they were completely incinerated. We all lost so much, some more than others. Even if we receive some sort of...
Lynn, I know exactly what you had, you lost quite a bit as well. The Sauget family is on the top of the list. We were the first ones to move into Bay 3 along with Fred Garcia about 25 years ago. I...
Hello Lynn, when looking at this picture our stuff was just on the other side of the MR2, it is incinerated. My son derek had just moved everything from next to Bob Crepin and his go carts to the...
Someone did an exceptional job fabricating that taller main hoop. It's not something with a new hoop section rosette welded or scabbed together. It is identical to the original in every way except...
Completely torn down, no numbers anywhere........

I second green Loctite.................
I was told by Gerald Swan of Lola Heritage to contact Greg Wrysineski at Haas regarding the records and he told me they had been tossed years ago.
I remember stopping by Lincolnshire for the first time to pick up some Lola parts, beautiful facility. As soon as I entered the building the F1 and Indy cars were the first things to greet...
I have four Lolas and have called many times. I was finally told that all records were thrown in the dumpster because they were taking up too much storage room............what a tragic loss.
That's why I'm thinking the tub is a rebuild................
Thanks for the insight. I will contact a couple of guys I know that were MC Techs and pick their brains. Would you agree this is probably a T328 because of the front roll hoop and the "open" tub in...
Well we just about have this car torn down to the tub, can't find anything to identify this car. Tub is in beautiful shape and almost looks like a rebuild. The area of the tub where the fuel bladders...
Since there is no water temp gauge on the dash all I can figure is that this was an A/C car that was in the process of being converted to W/C but never finished. There is an oil cooler in the right...
I'm convinced this car began life as an A/C T328. It has the 328 dash and front roll hoop (braces were added). Someone did nice job on the left foot brake addition. The homemade cross member that is...

Garey, the rear wing is definitely from a 326 (the 2 bolts in the fairing) because the 324 wing on my 250 is different. I was going to contact Gerald at Lola Hertage and have him backtrack the...
Today we did find faint remnants of an SCCA tech sticker. Had some initials and the year 1976 on it. Tearing it down Thursday.
Make sure the valve cover is vented............
Thanks, two years on the making.........the oil cooler is in the factory position behind the tail. We plan on making sidepods (similar to the drawing) so we can run two coolers and give it an updated...
Yea, now if I can find any history about the car, since there is no chassis tag or log book stamp, that would really do the trick. Someone out there should recognize this car with all of the unique...
It could never have been a FF as the rules do not allow an aluminum monocoque chassis, only a tubular steel space frame. The four braces in the engine bay were never on an AC car. The rear of the 620...
The 324/326/328 never had an actual front roll hoop, just part of the aluminum monocoque supporting the instrument panel. The engine bay bracing is not at all like the AC cars. The shifter linkage is...
Here are a few more pictures w/o bodywork. Haven't got the side pods off yet. The bottom picture is of a factory 326 tub with no front roll hoop. and yes the gearbox is in the wrong position but not...
I'm trying to find any information on this T328 Lola Super Vee. No chassis tag or numbers on roll bar. It looks like it has the Lola water cooled engine conversion kit from years ago. The MK9 is...

Frank Muegge, Lola T250 HU09, just finished two year restoration, SC nose, wing, may have two more air cooled cars ready by next year as well.

Lolas also have the P/N cast into them, D210/4014.
Years ago I bought what I thought was a basket case Caldwell D10 FSV. The bodywork, seat and chassis looked correct so I bought it for a song....
They are dedicated R/L............
I know that it was a FSV upright but no numbers or markings. I was thinking maybe an Elden PHR14, but only a guess. it's a pretty substantial piece.........
Can anyone identify this rear upright...........

Thank you..............
Does anyone have specs on Armstrong Coil Over Shocks AT9/SA 22 231. They were on my Lola T250 FSV that I'm restoring. I'm assuming the adjuster on the shock reservoir is for rebound. The springs are...
Just type in your search 'Monoposto Formula Super Vee Rules' and Monoposto Racing will have the rules for air cooled and water cooled..............
I do believe that every race car has a "soul" and has a valuable story to tell no matter which class nor the dollar value. Nothing worse than race cars that were orphaned and discarded like an od...
There are many cars competing in club racing that are more than 25 years old because most manufacturers have gone by the wayside or no are longer willing to produce new cars for such limited demands.
I bought one of the original copies for $30............
Well if its mounted in a Super Vee it would be mounted in the "original" VW position with the starter top/left and the fill hole will be midway up on the right side. Fill the transaxle to the bottom...
