Really? Wanting to see the data makes members not trust you or the Ad Hoc committee? That is like raising property taxes and not telling the homeowners why and using the same argument. Of all...

It can only be truly considered vintage when both the driver and car smell a bit musty and like mothballs.

Actually they have been revamping the road course since fall. There are some videos out there showing the corner by corner changes. This is for the upcoming race in the spring.

There was varying levels of pit stop prowess. One Porsche team would enter and change drivers and leave the pits with a final lap and pit combo time in the 3 minute range. A lot of the others...

Just put it on the left from end plate. It will take care of itself. Life sometimes works things out.

Hmmm. Some of these cockpits can get a little tight, especially with head surrounds to provide a view of the sky. I know of my car that little area had switches and bias adjusters tucked underneath...

Not only out of the bag, but apparently all the way to Australia.

I have been watching all of the SVRA videos they have been posting this year and although the videos are great, it seems there are a lot of late model race cars in the run groups. Is this common? My...

Scuderia Team Fiat. Typical Jon situation. Promises a full season, and then the funds start to dry up (read that as get used up by Jon on some sort of other scam he is funding). After a few difficult...

The final numbers are out. FB is 11th in participation and the 4th open wheel class. Great job.

I know this is a typical post runoffs convo to update the class for some competitors concerns, however, be careful what you wish for.

FB has done extremely well this year from a participation...

This is going to be a difficult day to work. I am going to have to pack a bunch of phone calls into the lunch break!

It says it has a blown diffuser. Hmmmmm. Didn't the Indy lights have that a while back and it caused problems? Throttle on..ok. Throttle off loss of rear downforce. Correct me if I am wrong.

I...

No excuses now JP. ;) That's what you get letting a champ run the car.

Can a guy named Giancarlo protest due to a manual being only written in Italian? Watch out that you don't get Papis'd.

He's driving a racecar with a Harley, not being the front man for Van Halen.

I can't wait to see this car out there screaming. Wishing you guys the best.

I like the geometry with the rack so the column is high. I have the permanent scars on my achilles from a low rack and...

Looks fantastic!!

Has anyone ever tried to replace the third spring and damper with a type of an elastomer to reduce the weight? Jay, aren't you an elastomer kind of guy? Have you ever seen this done?

The third spring is an option on all of the piper variants, I believe. Paging the Novaks!! Do you run the 3rd spring on your Piper?

How inexpensive is this class supposed to be? Also, how fast? What is the cost of an SRF and how does these proposals discussed in this thread relate to the cost and speed of an SRF? Isn't this class...

So true. When these big races come along, I get very bummed I don't have my car anymore. Then I listen to the race and realize it just makes good business sense to not have one now. I feel bad for...

I had an ADL in my Stohr FB. It is very powerful. I am a mechanical engineer, not electrical and I tend to struggle with creating wiring harnesses. This made the ADL a bit difficult and expensive as...

I think the Citation posse is kind of like that sister wives show. I guess Steve is the leader and all the Wrens and Robs of the group are the wives that share everything and take care of the kids....

West just posted a video of the testing that Colin Braun did the week prior to the Runoffs. 1.55 and change. Looks like they had their beacons set in a different place to be able to come into the...

PS. I have one of those MK rear lifts and an MK under wing lift if anyone wants one. very little use. Buy it from me for the same price as Jon's before you buy it from him.:D It'll go to a more power...

Appears to be selling the MK quick lifts he got from them for sponsorship. Were those supoosed to be given to the winners...

Has Wren contacted Renegade yet?

That is not a very fair comparison. Club racers versus full pro operation.

I have seen some pretty impressive rigs for Atlantic series, pro Mazda, and ALMS support series teams at the pro...

He's got some race footage from Daytona this month. Took him a lap to pass what appears to be a Vee. The Vee went off and he got by. Fast on straights (although i am not sure he shifted into top...

Why do people do that with their hair? I am referring to the faux hawk thing. The pointy uppy nature.

I know, I know, I am old. I am in my mid 40's, but still. Why do people do this? Is everyone...

Maybe he orchestrated from the Hooters across the street?

Looks like Tom must have won at Daytona. I wonder if he participated with Jason at the autograph signing and meet and greet at Hooters?

Read the DSR threads over on the SR forum. Ed talked about some of the testing on the dyno and the car. No boost or hp numbers though.

In the spirit of giving, I am offering something for the runner up in the championship. I am offering a ceritificate worth 5000 dollars that can be used towards the purchase of my marketing services...

John Paul,

Bootz has shown up several times, perhaps he will figure it out. Loshak had his almost ready to go, but he didnt think Tucker would show up with one. Figured it was a rumor. He...

Yeah, we know all about that wing. Biz spent a few minutes showing us.:D

I think it was just a pacing thing to make sure it was going to last. I don't know him personally, but I think you probably have to be pretty decent to win 5 or so National championships, 12 hours a...

I totally agree. i think he was managing. After reading one competitors post on the SR forum, apparently that view is not universally held.

The CSR displacement also has a weight of 1200 lbs,...

Panda blood adds hp? Damn, I have been just using it to reduce wrinkles around my eyes. Perhaps the unicorn spleens I have been saving in the freezer may be worth something after all.

I think he was pacing himself and an engineer of his posted as much on the SR forum.

PS. Its been said before, but this Speedcast system sure beats the hell out of watching this race on Speed 3 months from now.

Great job by Brandon, but how about Beauchamp and Latham? Awesome job!!!

Braun said the car was reaching 183 mph. The announcers mentioned a 175 number. Don't know if that was testing or qualy.

Pretty cool car.

Carbon Fiber spar and sump tank. Sweet!

Back on topic, I think the new West just upped the bar. Braun jusr tweeted all the groups that were involved . Also included a short video. Even Mulsanne Mike wrote an article. The w
WEST was good...

Jeff Braun just tweeted the record lap was set in a drizzle with the kink and CC getting wet. The rest of the DSRs seem to be battling it out with the top CSRs and DSRs around the same pace.

just went 1:58

Thanks Bill. Those guys are pure professionals.

Now that I have switched over to being a small business owner, I understand the plight of the little guys in business even more. Hope all is well...
