SFI or FIA base layer, socks and balaclava and a 3 layer suit even on a 100F day at a sunny summer day at Thunderhill.

BEFORE YOU BUY, YOU SHOULD TEST SEAT YOURSELF IN THE CAR. If you do not fit, you need to find a car you can comfortably drive. So, you should find out the height, weight and suit jacket size of the...
Here is one way to do it. Join the SCCA. Enter SCCA drivers school. Pay attention on the car complaince rules and make your car compliant. Once you have done that you can take the car to the track...
You are probably looking for a Weber 32/36 DGV. New ones are available at PegasusAutoRacing.com from $399 to $679.
There is probably a reason your old carb cracked. You will want to investigate...
Brad: Since you are concerned about parts and availability, you should consider a Sports 2000 (with the Pinto, not the Zetek engine) or Formula Ford (with the Ford 1600). Both have wide parts...
20 years ago, I had ProParts rebuild the Konis on my Renault Alliance. They were fine then. Now, I am using Performance Shock, Inc at Sonoma Raceway. 1 800 938 5664
Actually, since storage space is a problem, you can get by with no trailer at all. Just Google search this: Pete Lovely's Lotus 49 on a VW transporter. A Lotus 49 is a F1 car, so the FM will...
When your car was new, your race group was usually, F/Atlantic, F/C, C/SR and S2000. In vintage, expect to be grouped with F5000, F/Atlantic and B/SR. Have fun trying to out accelerate...
This is the best looking FM I have ever seen! Hope the FM crew here helps you get it ready to race so you can have some real fun.
It is definately not a Brabham BT38, BT41 or March 722. The steering box bulge for a FV is a good hint.
These filters come in different heights. What is the height of your current filter (not the cannister)? The part number for the filter that is 5.5", you want a WIX 51302. It comes with the...
Mikey: There are people who are experts on the Buick V6 for Indy Lights. Now might be the time to consult with them.

You have an old school GRD (they made them 1971 to 1975. There was an issue with F2 and F3 and Atlantic cars with the tire beads walking toward the drop center. This equipment is called 'safety...
Jerry: I had my Ralt RT-1 supervee hubs serviced by John Anderson Racing in Sonoma, CA 707 939 7462.
Lee Chapman racing in Connecticut supplies the bearings and can install them. 203...
definately not Brabham BT38, BT40 or BT41. All Brabhams were watercooled.

It is definitely not a Lola T620 or a Ralt RT-1. The roll bar and the boxed in, raised section in front of the steering wheel plane should make it easy to identify. That section,...

Is there a specific car you are trying to set up (like March 732-15)? I would think the period set up of the fastest prior owner would be a good starting point.
Bill: The walls are load bearing. Do not cut.. You will be cutting into the fuel bags. A larger driver can be accomodated by removing the fiberglas seat (if it has one).
Can you post a pic of the exhaust side of the engine showing the exhaust ports or the header if it is in the car?

You should start a Buick Club. I had a 1987 Regal Grand National for a year and went to Laguna and saw the IRL Buicks run. They made quite a sound, and it seemed like they were being short-shifted...
Stan: I am restoring the x- Stu Moore 1978-80 RT-1. It should be done in 6 months.

I am looking for the shroud that goes from the bottom back of the radiator to the top front of the tub.

They will bolt right on, but may be the wrong offset for a BT40.
I found this dry sump pump in a pile of late 70s water supervee stuff. It has no identifying marks.
It is not Schrick or Drake.
what is the width of the wheel? The best way to accurately measure it is to remove the tire.
Not wanting to make my own, I contacted Compomotive and requested the parts or a source. They no longer make modular wheels, do not supply the parts and their supplier "has long since gone".

I have some 13" Compomotive Turbo wheels that I am reconditioning. Anyone know a source and the dimensions of the seal rings? By my measurement, they are about 3.75mm CS by 275mm ID.
and you can contact the Brabham Register

Are they rears for March 783 or 79V super vee?
