Briggs-Stratton/Vanguard

[dtargonski]

I picked up a C Mod car to solo while I'm finishing my Reynard. Can anyone tell me some good reference material for the Briggs/Vanguard engine? Books, resources, contacts would be appreciated. Sources for new & used parts, builders etc. Anybody selling anything?

Thanks
Dan

I know this: the one in my riding mower has run for 8 years with one oil change.

I thought he meant some cart class, see I told you I needed info! look at formulagp.com

Looks like a shrunken Formula Mazda...LOL! 46 HP out of a Vanguard is pretty high. Wonder how they do that?
Ah, sounds like they've tuned the engine about as far as it can go without being a grenade... I wouldn't mess with it.

"...Billet rods, roller rockers, and pushrods. Forged pistons, Titanium valves, ported heads, custom ground cam, aluminized header with Super Trapp...."

I have no idea what, if any, SCCA Solo or Road Racing class this car would be eligible to run in.

here is the answer from the builder/previous owner:

[FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]We ran that car and its twin in Formula C MOD in Nashville SCCA events out at the Super Speedway before it closed. We ran it a few years testing before we started generation 2 cars.[/SIZE][/FONT]

Sounds like a local region accommodated these guys by unofficially classing them in CM since it is NOT a CM eligible car. In fact it really is what Solo calls a "special" which goes in AM.

The Solo rule book is online through the Solo tab of the SCCA website. Search for C Modified.

I hope this helps.

Doesn't meet the wheelbase requirement for A Mod.
