Just purchased a new set of wheels, and noticed today that the the rear wheels, on the inboard shell only, AND only on the rear wheels, has this unusual (at least for me) lip on it. The same manufacturer made my previous set of wheels, and nothing like this was provided. So, Is this something...

Just wow. In 30 years of watching F1, this one takes them all.

This may seem like an obvious issue, and at first it appeared that way to me, but I let the concern lapse until a recent observation of it's possible hazard. I run powdercoated wheels on my car, street and track, and always wondered about the wheel mounting surface being powerdercoated, versus...

Not seen this F1 series posted as yet, so thought I'd throw a plug for what is a pretty interesting series about F1. It's more the background stories about the drivers, owners, personnel, and business of F1. Great photography, and a great filler for the off-season, or between those multi-week...

I took some seat belts off the floor of the car, but now I'm not quite sure I'm reassembling them correctly, and I can't find any reference for it in a search anywhere. I thought I used an SCCA rule book when I did this initially, but now can't find it. Anyway, the assembly is where the belt...

More an FYI, than a question. At my last event, I had the car running some pretty quick laps. Had the suspension pretty close, and the Holley EFI pretty close, so I was making more power. So between the suspension settings and the power settings, the overall lap times decreased, and obviously...

Expecting a "no" out of her, she surprised me with an "okay" when I asked if she wanted to ride along for a few laps. So.....I after all the safety stuff was taken care of, we did a few yellow-flag speeds around the course, easy-going to get her acclimated to the experience of a track ride. Then...

For those still interested in the F1 for this season, if you haven't watched it, the latest race (Silverstone) has one of the best finishes I've ever seen. Last 5 laps or so sets it up.

289 cast onto the lifter gallery, no camshaft installed. Has been stored indoors since it was replaced with a 351W, BUT, antifreeze must have dribbled into one of the cylinders, so there is some surface rust there, and a lot of dust elsewhere. Can't tell how deep the rust is, but the block is 30...

Canada was a normally boring race until 3/4 of the way through it. Even my wife thought it has some entertainment value.

I've got a question I've always had about spacing for inner Heims on fixed-spacing control arms. Whenever I fabricate my suspension arms utilizing inner Heims, I always provide adjustability of the arm itself, for the centerline-to-centerline spacing so that there is never any preload on the...

Thought this might be helpful or of use for our members. I would love to get a few parts from this, but I'm sure it will go much higher: https://www.hemmings.com/classifieds/cars-for-sale/ford/gt/2165460.html

I'm afraid to ask, but I have not noticed Keith in any posts for a while. I don't know if it's because of the new format, or that he isn't posting. How is he doing?

Recently I had a bicycle accident which re-injured some previous rotator cuff surgery, so now the Manta is much less enjoyable on the track than it was pre-injury. Because of the 6 degree caster, high ratio rack (1.5 turns L-to-L), it's a struggle to not only drive it on the street, but make the...

Finally got the car out on the track recently and had a great time. Age is catching up with me, and my abuse of my shoulders. Have decided that an EPAS system is a necessity now, so have a focus for this winter's modification.

It's been a nightmare thus far with only one race, and a second qualifying under the belt for ESPN2's coverage of Formula One this year. So far, both event's qualifying coverage ended before the qualifying ended (thus I had to go online to find out the Q3 results. Commercials on the first race...

Seems Texas is being a bit inconsistent with its Less Big Government philosophy, as well as practicality. jalopnik.com/texas-is-revoking-titles-from-dune-buggies-and-kit-cars-1820177474

I have mixed thoughts on this video (happened on it purely by accident), but found it interesting. TIM'S CHINA RANT! (EXPLICIT LANGUAGE) - YouTube
