For e85 to even be cost effective for mileage it must be over $.95 difference to break even, unless your using it for the octane purpose in which about $.70 dif would equal out.BTW what is up with Colorado and the octane ratings, premium is only like 90 octane and cheap gas is 85? I realize...
The vid I seen was just a local track when he did it, but he had an insane 1/8 and 50 and 1000 ft times.
Also someone was talking about 2 500hp engines verus one 1000 hp engine. Id go with the 2 500hp. Weight distribution is key a true 50/50 split, and it has 8 cyl to put power down smoother...
Watkins Glen Road America/Atlanta are about the only tracks where you need as much power as you can get, as far as true lag goes road racing doesnt see nearly same lag because you keep the rpms is the optimal spot or lug it when you want. These trannys will survive practically any turbo you...
This is the Email I got from MidAm, Doug and Julie wrote this but I am posting it. This is the entry form http://www.midamericanracing.com/pdfs/entries/roadamerica.pdfNON-MID-AMERICAN INVITE
No need to pre-enter. Please note on the invitation, Chuck King is trying to track all...
but like i said minimum entry fee is going to be $300 plus just to cover insurance then you MUST have track workers, ambulance and proper fire suppression equipment
Best advice I can give you is talk to a racetrack promoter in your area first, then contact there insurance agent and tell them what you have in mind, once the agent tells you the price to insure an event you will see that its next t impossible to hold an event without charging $300 plus per car...
Mid american series has a race weekend at RA that they run with the american cancer walk, entry last year was less than $60 if you register more than a week ahead of time. total track time is same as one day of nasa or mfba. Any car with a cage IS welcome for sure, if you dont have a cage I dont...
With the 09 season coming up in just a few months DO NOT buy a SA2000 anymore unless you find one for under $200. Some places I have raced at (circle track) Try to cycle out older helmets, such as in 2004 when they no longer allowed snell 95 and forced everybody with a 95 to buy a 2000 even...
The R3 for hanr seems to be the better choice overall, because it doesnt have to attach to you. you can leave it in the seat and be able to get off the car quicker and safer in an emerg, pop the helmet tethers and its off. I have a Dcel which is identical to a hutchens and I had a fire (2)...
No i have never owned a mac but between high school and tech school the macs arent looked that highly upon except for graphic intensive programs in which yes a mac is far better. But as personal preference windows linux is the way i choose.As for sprint right now the insticnt has a massive...
I will disagree on that. Ive hated macs/apple forever, nothing beats a pc as far as being able to upgrade hardware and software.But I also cant stand vista, XP is in my blood for a long time. Unless the new windows coming out in late 09 fixes all the glitches in vista I will probably still...
if you can retake 5 and 6 but get the camera another 6-10 inchs closer to the ground and they should turn out really nice and aggressive. Unfortunately the sun glare kind of kills the rest of the pics
I think the new trend will be like the new Imacs where every thing is inside the monitor/base it will only take up 1-2 sq ft of desktop space. Keyboards arent going to get smaller neccasarily but they will become more useful then 120 alpha/numerical keys. Plus the technology for mind reading...
no, I never made it out. I had way to much to drink the night before, I still had issues walking straight at 2:30 in the afternoon.
The pics are from mfba site. theres like 4 pags of pictures plus saturdays wonderful weather
Kern, I talked with you last spring when you where handing out flyers trying to get this series going. I strongly support the series because it makes sense, the only down fall I see is overall cost and the date of Road America. Being Nov 1 the chance of snow and bitter cold is high. The...
Yes and no, I just sold my super late model but I still have the Mid-am. I still have all the dsms except Frankenstein (green Talon), I never should have sold that darn car.If the weather is good on sunday I might bring out the mid if theres an open spot and I can get the TO bearing changed...
I will be out there all weekend, If anyone needs any dsm parts to get there car back home or keep racing, I live 10min from the track. I will probably be hanging out by schemauer or underadar if you need to find me.
I would play along with it as long as I had the papers and such, Women get the upper hand in society so I say any time you can screw the system on there account I say do it. (for the people who dont know what I mean heres the hint)Whos the first one to be arrested or charged with a DC or...
The auto parts store numbers are wrong, they computers dont understand that in 93 they switched to a bigger axle. for a 93-94 axle you have to order a 95 non abs axle. Rockauto.com was the cheapest I found
The tire doesnt look TOO bad, you can either put the tire on the rear axle so theres less force and/or if it blows the car is still controllable. Or second, just replace the one tire with an equal size tire and be done with it. The whole jibber jabber about replacing tires in sets is bull (its...
The only part that looks like it came from a fiero is the steering column. My dad and I turned a fiero into a countach so I know from experience what it takes. (lots of hours and searching junkyards for certain parts.
The cage itself has a couple of extra tubes but overall he did a good job of tying into the body structure. So being a remotely street legal car its a good deal and has good potential.
get a SA2005 ONLY. If your going to do any autox you really want a SA to be completely legal. I have the Gforce pro force and I like it a lot. My next helmet is going to be an impact super sport air.
