It's a very small group that fight. The class is awesome! The cars are cheap, sound great or smell great are very fun to drive. I had two 2 strokes come by late at night at the runoffs and help me...
That is why I have 600 it allows for more time to be spent on the rest of the car and the driver. Its easy and cheaper for most to improve the driver. Getting a driver to admit that is the hard part.

A real show for our popcorn!

Hopefully this is good news and myabe by next week our race will up so we can relive the excitement, heartbreak, joy...
A few guys are so damn fast and have years of experience and engineering note books full of info and they would view it as starting all over. Its hard to argue with a few if them on that point. I...
It was at the end of the Runoffs when the ruling was made. The officials were wore out after a week of racing and racers acting like spoiled kids. They are people and make mistakes especially after a...
Well this is disappointing I thought woth all the new micro sprint guys maybe someone would have one by now... Guess we will have to keep looking as time goes on.
Does anyone know if there is a starter out there that would work after a spin? I know I should have got to the clutch faster but I didn't. The starter is now worthless and just thinking if I have to...
James for what it's worth I also out accelerated Clint and Sven and darn near everyone else (you can see that in the 1st clip on youtube). The blade is lowest drag car out there and I geared...
Congrats Clint!

Jump to the 830 mark.
Clint was on a mission and there wasn't much anyone could do to stop him. He wins the latest braker award for sure. It was...
*graps popcorn* :eek:
The scca have said numerous times we're not splitting. I'm with George all you guys are doing is stirring the pot. Let's Pretend the motorcycles weren't there instead of the Clint show and a great...
Not questioning the data I just didn't know where you got it from. That's all. I know we have top end over the 2 strokes but we need it compete over the course of the lap. The lighter cars have...
Where are you getting those? My fastest was 141.6.
Looks like a few FFs have dropped out and we are at 77 cars. Hopefully they well keep us at 18 min. I am sure a few cars per Q will not be make it out for one reason or another.
We have 40 of our closest friends to race against!
I hope not. It should be 18 min like everyone else.
Does anyone know what they are going to do with us and the FF? We are currently over track limits as a group.
Thanks Cory!

I think this was the most spread out we got!
Hey guys lets be positive! We are going to have the biggest F5 class in last few years at an amazing track and maybe the only time some of us get to run there!
The Major at Road America over the...
The over all number is great! I know a few more 600s are going to register.
Looks like 28 now! Lots of guys I haven't met, looking forward to meeting everyone!
Do you know if the rest are going to race at Indy?
De Vries Sven Attending w/ MC power
DeLong Jeff Attending w/ MC power
Ellis Aaron Attending w/ MC power
Maier Carl Attending w/ MC power
McAbee Chuck ...
Will CJ be there?
Sounds like Thomas D along with Brian Brothers, Steve T, Calvin S and Hunter Brayton will be there too.
With registration opening later on this month, is it safe to ask who will be attending? Do you think we can 25 or more cars?
I will be there!
I am not going to write in with a knee jerk reaction from one race like some others have done when the MC power does well. I do hope people see how fast the 593s truly are when they work as hard as...
So can we all ask the 593s to have smaller restrictors and be bumped to 875#
They are clearly to fast. :tire:
Sorry I meant the EFI for the 2 stokes
Now might be a great time to look into it. The rules are always changing anyways lol. Plus it seems inevitable classes have to evolve.
How hard is it to get a new engine allowed into the class? Would be comparable to the current engines? Well at least the 592 as that seems to the favored engine with 2 stokes.
If one of the views of the 2 stoke power plants is EFI is better than Carbs, why have they not asked for EFI? I am just getting tired of having to be the one how spends all the time, money and other...
Well Michael Mueller well be joining in the fun! If we could get Steve T, Tom D, and Brothers we would not need the Runoffs haha
Sure would be nice to get 16 + cars there and a few more 2 strokes!
I think we are going to have 11 MC cars or more I know a few others that plan on going.
Maybe they are not coming because they know they will be to fast and we will get out 30s back! Make 600s great again!
I agree with Jay. When I was looking at a class to get in to the SCCA I went with the F5 because of the cost effectiveness of the class. The class is lower cost compared to other classes and great...
The race was great to watch. Good close racing with no contact!
I am looking forward to next year already! I am sure a lot more people will show up at Indy!
Agreed
They are not and we have to do it manually. No devices is allowed to help us shift. They say it's to keep class cost down.
Most of us are not using the clutch during the race. Slight lift to up shift and a blip of throttle to down shift while braking.
I tried to clutch my 1st few races and no clutch is much smother...
Do we know what the adjustments might be?
I noticed that most guys are using the Suzuki engines. Has any done any testing with the Honda? Has anyone looked at what engine will be better with the latest restrictor?
