Re: Photos from SD - Calif. Div.

Thanks Reijo ... looked like fun. We were working at Honda's test facility yesterday. 15+ hour day. Didn't get home until almost 1 AM. :( HUGE facility ... 7 mile long oval ... something like 6 different tracks ... I don't think that included their off road tracks. Very strict security. We had to tu...

Re: Nurburgring Laps

I've been driven around numerous times by my Formula Vee racer buddy in his Saab 99 ... in '72 ... while he learned the Ring. He went on to win his German Championship Vee race there, on his way to winning the German National Championship that year. Here is our "Team," in 1971 ... bunch of...

Re: SD Sound and Steel Wool

Henry just drilled a few holes in the tail pipe so he could crisscross some wire to hold in FINE steel wool. Don't know if that did the trick. He has different muffler canisters for SD.

Re: Is Formula V Tire Restorer Solo Legal?

Don't know what it would do to new tires ... we would just like to get some more life out of our practice R's. New 710's coming in for the Divisional. I believe the rule book also doesn't say which lube's you can use. There could be a 3 to 5% HP advantage to using very thin expensive racing oils lik...

Re: Is Formula V Tire Restorer Solo Legal?

Is there a rule in the book, or just one of those things ... that if it's not mentioned, it can't be done?

Re: I just changed the oil...........

A bunch of the new '08 STI's were recalled for new engines because of brass (copper?) shavings left in the engine during manufacturing.

Ah ... Duh ... Since we were changing out the entire caliper/brake assembly, we were trying to "build" the new pads into the caliper and then reattaching the entire caliper ... instead of just unbolting that bottom bolt and swinging the caliper part up! That's what happens at midnight afte...
