I will be there too. Assuming I get things sorted with a trailer, I will bring my RCR. I am also looking forward to meeting folks.

Pasha, I generally try to drive when it’s pretty dry so I just vacuum the cockpit frequently! That being said I did get caught in a deluge a year ago for 30 minutes. The cockpit ended up with about 3/4” of water! (Reminded me of a story I read about Sebring maybe - with Ken Miles - where the...

Paul. My set up shifts very well - once it was adjusted correctly. I had issues with adjustment at first but Chris Kouba (who has posted on this thread before) was able to help. Now that I understand the concept, it’s is quite easy to adjust. I do remember however that I needed to remove some...

Jean-Marc, I have a right hand drive RCR. Its possible that you need different length cables moving the shifter to the right hand side. I will attach a few pics to show how mine is set up. Hopefully the pics load in correct order. I have named them numerically though to help. 1) View of...

Yup. Article in Oct/Nov Vintage Motorsport on Adrian Newey running his car at Monterrey. See pic

Andres. It was great to meet. As you can see the forum is a fantastic place to learn. Good luck in your research and (hopefully) project!

PM sent.

I am in Greenville, SC and will have mine (replica!) at the Cars and Coffee in Greenville the morning of October 28. It’s about 2.5 hrs north of Atlanta. Let me know if you are interested and I can PM you details. - Alan

It’s hard to believe it’s been almost three years since I posted updates on my car. In that time I have switched coasts with a move to South Carolina and now have 9,000 miles on the odometer. I had a couple years of perfect reliability and then last spring was chasing fuel pump issues that...

Alex, I have an RCR40 and am in the Greenville area. Would be happy to chat. There is another guy in the area - Ian who has an SLC on order. I think his should arrive before yours. I’ll PM you my contact info. - Alan

Sasco will bring tires to the track. They offered to bring mine to the historical at Road Atlanta in April.

I called Sasco last week (US East coast distributor) and they confirmed all that is being discussed on the forum. I was surprised to hear that they had my tires in stock. I run CR6ZZ’s 295/50/15 and 215/60/15. I jumped on it and ordered a set immediately. And for the record they were 23% more...

Ian. I live in the Greenville area and have an RCR40. I’ll PM you contact info. It would be great to meet. Alan

5-6 seems a bit low - unless you are on the race track! I get 11-13 mpg. I check it almost every time I refill and it’s always in that range. All back road driving. Can I assume that you would notice if you had a fuel leak? I ask because my left tank had a pin hole at a weld seem that leaked...

I’ll see if I can find my notes, but my recollection is that mine are 8.5 to 9 gallons each. I never run more than 55-60 miles on each. Another problem I realized this year is that as there are no baffles, that as the tank gets lower I was starving the fuel pump on long down hills, hard braking...
