    F1 is boring me to death!!!!

    Re: F1 is not at all boring.! Could someone explain the passing while the Safety Car is out rule? I don't get it. If someone does pass illegally why don't they row them back up correctly before restart? On restarts who decides when the leader should start? The flag man? Is there a point on...

    Enclosed Trailer

    The GT40 is almost 72" wide. You need a bit of wiggle room for safety even if it is winched inside. The standard (max) 102" trailers work well. Length would probably be ok with the question being proper tongue weight with car loaded.

    Roaring Forties Information, March 2006

    Well after reading this current thread and re-reading the following thread: BOHICA CAV I am totally amazed and have never in my 41 years witnessed a higher level of HYPOCRISY and IRONY. The VERY ones who were so ready to jump on their f***ing soapboxes beating their chest professing a desire...

    Anti Roll bars old and new

    I guess the way to think about it is that the sway bar acts as a spring connecting the two suspension sides together. When the suspension displaces different amounts (roll vs. bump) then the spring is stretched. With the normal bar setup the bar "spring" is a combination of torsion of the bar...

    Rear Wheel Toe in

    Hi Bob. I have always used the "move the wheel method." Let me think about the other. Also there may be some confusion about the Longacre system as it only has one dial indicator as the other side is a fixed beam with a roller on the end. The system just leans against the plate and follows...

    How upright should rear uprights be?

    Fairly upright, but depending on your rear geometry, may need some caster to get good (near zero) bump steer.

    Rear Wheel Toe in

    You can check the static toe and then use a "bump steer gauge" to check for changes in toe with suspension movement. See this TECH ARTICLE You can buy gauges like THIS ONE

    Excellent GT40 video

    I think he could have gone much quicker with another gear or taller gearing. It is my interpretation of the video that he is reaching rev-limited top speed (he is not on full throttle) not far after the start finish line.

    Thermotec disaster

    Re: Thermotec had no answers... From my post a year or so ago: I recommend the Thermo-tec heat shield (www.thermotec.com, #14001). I do not recommend their spray adhesive. I do recommend using RTV applied by a cauking gun. RTV is rated at 600 deg F and sticks very well to both parts. Have put...

    CAV - Getting the Horsepower to the Ground - Part V

    Wow Bob. It's like Deja vu. If you have not finished the job yet you could try the smaller diameter MSD billet distributor. You can get a glimpse of it is some of the shots on THIS PAGE. Much smaller in diameter. I think it is MSD 8578.
