This is also my recollection, I think I read it on the old S2000 board when it was active. I don't recall how he activated it in Tech, though.

Will it include P2 wannabes?
The argument for mounting the aux connector at the back of the car is in case you pull away from the false grid and forget the aux battery it will likely unplug itself. If it's in front of the tire...
There are EIGHT P2s registered for the Blackhawk Majors on May 4-5.
Not much help with the hotel other than possibly the Courtyard on Crawfordsville Rd just off I-465 but I HIGHLY recommend St. Joseph Brewery for dinner and beer. There's also a Yardhouse downtown...
That's great advice. F1000 is a blast but you'll have bigger fields in FC.
Most were actually converted in the late 2000s (F1000 didn't exist until 2007) and all but one were converted using a kit designed by Jay Novak (Novakar) and manufactured by Dave Piontek:...
Where does a Storm V4 engine come from? If it sounds anything like the old Honda V4 Interceptor, I'm in!
Don't spend too much money on whizzy bits that don't make the car faster. Budget more for tires and testing, the two things that are certain to make you faster.
I think this is the info you're looking for:

LOL. That bears no resemblance to any sort of safe, legal, or competitive race car. I've never understood why people spend so much time and money to build something that they will just drive around...
The F1000 forum is probably not a great place to make that statement. As you may recall, F1000 was not afforded the opportunity to be "on probation" and the club used the previous year's numbers to...
If you're looking for an engineering exercise, I would convert to a 1 liter bike engine because they're plentiful, inexpensive, powerful, and include the gearbox. It's possible that while adapting...
There was an interesting article posted here earlier this year:

If I'm not mistaken, Reupert's '90s DSR was a converted Lola 540 with his Arctic Cat-based 2 stroke.
For several years starting around 2012 or 2013, I believe he was driving Colburn's previous...
Not the name you're looking for but Leo Franchi's Midwest Motorsports in Glenview specializes in BMWs.
I don't recall Dan having any problem with the axles when he ran the car. Have you had a problem when you've been on track?
It's one or the other. Reasonably priced systems don't work well for long and systems that work well (reliably) are expensive. Geartronics really is the gold standard and they have it down to a...
Plenty of threads on here but this article is a great summary and has all the info you need:

A little more effort but you could convert to a cable-operated clutch to completely eliminate the MC.
Only use motorcycle oil, which it sounds like you are. I always use Mobil 1 4T motorcycle racing oil.
Aside from the already spot-on suggestions, take a look at your oil temps. Overheated oil...
That was suggested by someone moments after the Fastrak came out. Unfortunately, the F1000 community was not given the opportunity to suggest it BEFORE the rule change.
It could still happen but...

It's been 14 years since my committee proposed F1000 so my memory might be fuzzy but I don't recall this. The BOD didn't ask us to create F1000 and I doubt they were feeling threatened from anyone. ...
Maybe try Doug Hertz: https://www.apexspeed.com/forums/member.php?13437-sprocketmensch
He ran an Elan for a few years prior to buying his Firman.
As I recall, Ben Cooper had several of the DP04 "kits" so he would be a good resource. You can reach him at Sebeco Motorsports. He goes by SEComposites on Apex: ...
If it wasn't already taken I would suggest a name change to "Phoenix".
Bruce Lindstrand is currently prepping a WF1 (among others) and might have room for another car. They're not in Michigan but most likely attend most of the same tracks.

Do tell.
There is no need to bleed off the canister pressure to remove the shocks. Once you have the car in the air you can unbolt the shock/spring as a unit. You may need to slightly lift the wheel end to...
This is a 10 year old post. I still don't think that's a record, though...
When did that happen?
