I'm getting one of these. It's a bit expensive - about $130 USD with the base and shipping - but I really like the design because of the tapered cone and the quick release latch. Every time I take...
I had a similar problem and though I don't have the info with me (at work) I can tell you different diameters will make it harder or easier to press that pedal. Also, if there is an adjustment on...
When I got started just a couple of years ago I didn't realize any of this and eventually had to make a rules matrix myself so I would know about the shocks, the cyl head, the tires, etc. Tricky for...
Go to vrgonline.org and you'll get the schedule and scoop. If the schedule is not there you can prob find more info on Motorsportreg.com , which will also show you the FFs registered. No Honda...

Chris - they don't have RFFCS on their online schedule in September.... might be confusing some folks.

Mike, check out our FF Challenge series, including a 50th FF race at Summit Point in May with almost 40 FFs registered.

I've got Jake Lamont's book. The item Roland send was just what I needed. I will also look into that Pinto manual. Thanks all!
DK
Awesome, thank you. I tried for several minutes using different terminologies and kept getting Mustang and Pinto 2.0 engine stuff. :confused:

Anyone have a diagram showing the bolt locations and sequence for tightening head bolts on the 1600 Kent? Google is only giving me 2000cc (and other useless info)

I'm in for four of 'em, maybe a fifth, and I'd love to go to Road Atlanta.

I won't say this is "the problem" but it is "a problem" or at least an anxiety facing "vintage" FF (and probably other classes -- I am really only familiar with FF). Those racing HF (Historic, Ford...
I am parting out a 1979/1980 Zink and will have four Bilsteins for sale shortly. There is some rust that will have to be wire-brushed and they will have to be rebuilt (Thyssen-Krupp if I spelled...
VRG, and Royale and crew put on a really great race weekend. We had a little rain on Saturday but the party went on as planned and racing Friday and Sunday was pretty awesome for this...
I got a nice note back from Kim (SVRA) telling me the Glen list was up and the VIR list would be up soon. It would be nice to see it build, I think.
I'd certainly be interested in any kind of...
Can't seem to find links on SVRA site for race entry lists. Seems like they would want that easily clickable so we can see who's going and maybe trigger our own entries.
Am I missing...
Gordy, I sent a note to Keith and Chris, so they may contact you.

I originally had one rectangular reservoir in this rack and then found out about the new rule. I cut off one end of the rack and put a spring on it to hold these bottles in. They're from Pegasus,...
I had spent a couple of hours turning an old MGB windshield washer reservoir into a cool, rectangular catch bottle, only to get informed I needed two, separate, 1 qt catch bottles. Pegasus sells a...
Yes, I realized it meant British Columbia, but it was amusing for a moment to imagine vintage racing of ???? by a bunch of guys in 2016 BC. I guess they would have been sliding down a hill on...
Just wanted to take a moment to thank Chris, as well as Jim & Cal, for a great weekend at Summit Point. We had some weather issues, for sure, and there were a couple of incidents (mea culpa on one...
Chris said I could tag onto this thread about the series and announce/remind that there will be an auction at the Jefferson 500 for the High Performance Heroes charity of racing gloves donated by the...
To chime in with FitFan's offering, I just bought a gearbox from an AutoX FF, which I am putting in a road racer, and want to sell the fixed first gear layshaft and the two low ratio gearsets I'll...
Just observing a comment above: "In the old days SVRA was considered a vintage racing organization."
The old days?? Um, the second word in the name is Vintage... not so much "considered" as...
I gotta figure there will be a robust debate and unvarnished commentary going on at the VRG Turkey Bowl this weekend on this topic. Though Monoposto rules may still be somewhat viable in SVRA in the...
Ralph, I'm sure Chris will chime in, but since it's Vintage Racers Group (VRG) I think he actually means Vintage FF and Club FF rather than Club FF and modern FF.

That Lola 340 on the left could still be around... might even be Doug Meis's car
Link to the schedule?
Yep, duh, sorry. Thirty seconds total in 55 laps total. Got it. Indeed a 7 second per lap delta would have been over 5 minutes total. I'm still curious about the smoothness but there's an F1 thread...
Disclaimer up front - rookie question follows... I'm far from qualified to weigh in on the engine discussion, but learning from this thread about driving. In the F1 race this morning, Vettel was 30...
Happy Birthday, Mike! (Lola says Happy Birthday, too)

It means it was the second chassis made as a T90/00. I have a T-540, HU-55. I've searched and researched this a bit, with both the official and unofficial registries and that's what I'm convinced...
Mike, mine has a Bosch with # 0-231-170-317 on the body and uses a Pertronix module. My understanding is this distributor is no longer made but I hope I'm wrong about that!
David
Well, first, I'm a guy so not sure what guys wear on the beach in California but we don't do that in Virginia Beach. :confused: Second, you got a front view of that girl's halter top I'm missing? ...
Count me in! Been waiting on this or a rumored Glen celebration (I'll do either or both!). Do we have to use open trailers and have long hair and moustaches and cut-off jeans?
