Yup, absolutely the best!
Mike Sauce is your local dealer for race tires in Arlington. 817-235-0018
I would also be sure that one or more wheels aren’t bent and wheel bearings tight and/or adjusted. Also helpful to measure the wheelbase side to side to insure that the car will track straight...
The P2 is a flat bottom car, uses square and rectangular tubing for the bottom rails and was originally a solidly welded structure front to back, though I believe some have been modified from this...
Congrats to Mike and Al for another great championship!
I would vote Autodynamics, with some possible chassis mods, but maybe some of the current AD guys can confirm or deny.....MK?
Not sure about FF tires yet, but several of my FV friends showed up at the track last weekend with the new Dunlops out of the Portugal factory. Maybe good things to come. I would contact one of...
Got one too, email with my Apex ad copied at the top.
Gary,
Let me add my 2 cents. You would be hard pressed to find a better group of people to run with than the folks at CVAR, especially the Vees. Actually, it's very much the same attitude...
I thought I would post this after getting my teething problems worked out, but here goes. Currently getting the car back together after the first outing at TWS.
Aircraft Spruce also sells Camloc fasteners. The Protoforms I've seen and owned use the "40" series camlocs.
As the name on the side of the car implies, that's what he called it, I believe the Mark 1. I met Paul briefly at a mid 70's June Sprints, a very interesting and creative guy, from MN. Sorry to hear...
I heard a rumor, but.....please clue me in.
Is there good (your normal) oil pressure? If so, that much oil in the engine, assuming a dry sump, would make me wonder if there was some kind of restriction in either the return line or possibly a...
The car is just lacking paint, a throttle cable, the usual odds and ends and, sadly, an engine. Hopefully Jim will come through soon, but this year is becoming a washout.
Bill,
With inception of the Majors, the Divisional race entries for FV have really taken a hit down here. I wasn't aware that the push was on for FST Major status but it certainly would open...
Amazing, 12 & 14? Geez, I didn't learn to drive a stick until I was 15......
Good luck guys and see you at the track one of these days.

My vast spy network (actually my son, who lives in Ft. Collins) has reported sightings of two FST cars testing on Saturday (yesterday) at a nearby kart track north of Denver. One red and the other...
Oscar,
You also might want to give James Stimola a call at SRP Engineering, 516-671-9715. They work on them all and might have a workable solution for your Bilstein if it fits the car now.

Can't wait to see it with the body on....
Front suspension is now assembled, still checking clearances, bolt lengths and a preliminary alignment will be next. Jim has given me some car specific specs to work with as a baseline.
Also, a...
Bill,
I've been thinking red, never had a red car. Too close to orange?
Robert,
Fronts will be from ARS per Jim Nash's specs. I found a good deal on a Penske 8760 and it is currently on its way to Stimola for a check out/revalving, etc.
I am most grateful to you,...
Thanks Bill, this car has been such a pleasure to assemble; easiest kit I've ever put together. Jim really has an attention to detail and is superb to work with.
My shocks are on the way,...
The new Mission is starting to look like a car. 80% done, 50% to go....;)

I just got my stuff home after a great weekend in Milwaukee....Geez it's still cold up there.
Chassis is stripped and off to be blasted and painted. Jim Nash does wonderful detail work, not much...
Steve,
I looked at the mylaps site and still didn't see anything. Apparently the FST race did not take place...
Any results from the 11/2-4 event, or did this race not happen?
I believe Bob Lybarger services Penske (and other make) shocks.
Alex,
What a great race! That's what Vee racing is all about. I'm sure that Bill must have given you some hints as to the lines at this track because your video proves it. Great job against an...
