I just found these sites while looking for 13s on ebay. They both seem to have a large variety of slightly used race slicks with at least 70% rubber remaining. Prices seem to be between 40 and 50% of list + S&H. JB Racing www.jbracingtires.net orhttp://stores.ebay.com/Race-Tires-USDRRT

What can I say. It was done as a joke for Hyperfest at Summit Point the week before. It actually worked very well in the turns but was slower on the longer straights. The setup got a few laughs along the way and apparently still does. http://usa7s.com/vb/images/icons/icon7.gif

They offer Avons, Goodyear, Dunlap and others. SASCO is placing an Avon Order this week. You will need to put up a 50% deposit. Call Benjie, at 434 822 7200 to place your order

Thanks for sharing!

Caution on JetHot. If you have modified your motor, be sure to let them know. Your temps may exceed the limits of their Silver coating. I have a Zetec and the Silver coating burned off in ten days of driving. They said it was because I did not tell them it was a 216 hp Zetec. If they had known that they would have recommended the high temp Black coating. FIW: Even burned it lowers the temps in the car. I have also covered the engine side of the foot boxes and the transmission tunnel. I also stuffed the trans tunnel with foam to eliminate the hot air flow into the tunnel.

That desert sounds excellent. Calls for coffee and more Carbon Fiber. :jester:

Or one could go on a diet and lose more weight than all of the carbon parts save not to mention the cost of CF. ;-)

Some thoughts on your goals: 1. Cut out your clam shells. It elimenates the lift and saves alot of time and money. 2. replace stock seat, http://www.pistonheads.com used parts/caterham several used race seats available. 3. add a fuel cell, I see ATL and Fuel Safe make one that fits but price close to $2,000, also foam degrades if you use pump gas. Any suggestions Contact Folis Jones about the Feel Cell he sells fits great in passenger seat area and adds balance. I will PM his email address. Oh yeah...it costs alot less the FS. 4. Have 14" Panasports with Kumho tires with TWR of 50, nice and soft but no longer available, nor does it seem there are any race tires out there in 14" size. Any suggestions at 14" or if I change to 13's or 15's. For track use get a set of 13x7 and 13x8 run Hoosier A6 to last longer or Avons for best performance. 5. Stock brake pads, rotors good, any suggestion for a race pads. Hawk stopprd making race pads for Caterhams. I had performance make copies of the Hawk pads. they work just fine. BTW I am still running stock non vented disks and see no fade as I try not to use them much. 6. Muffler has loose baffles so though I would replace with Bullet type, ideas? I replaced my 7# Caterham Canister with a HushPower. Loud bot sounds great. 7. For 2013, thought I would do some engine work but limited to head. thinking HD springs, rockers (roller?) and push rods if stock not suitable. I have Zetec. Quicksilber Racengines in Frederick, MD does nice work on 1600s and Zetecs. 8. For looks, sides of car are bare aluminum, gravel blasted from gravel coming off soft tires, they need sanding as that are pretty rough, suggestions They will only get worse on the track.

I agree with Steve. PCA and 7s are a thing of the past. This post is about LOG 2013. Watkins Glen and the finger lakes is a fantastic place to visit. W.G. is a nice villiage with cute shops and some good restaruants. The country side features great rides on the way to vinyards and more good restaruants. Sign up and have fun.

The SVs are made for the "wider" driver ;-)

Gary, Send me a PM with your email and I will add you to my local Seven list.

"PCA National DE rules do not allow for Lotus 7 cars or replicas, even with the wheels covered. I think most other models are okay, except for convertibles which all need approved roll bars." I just received this quote from PCA. I will share the entire email once I have their authorization. I informed them at my car had clam shells attached to the car, Full cage and I am an instructor. :-(

Taber, What are you talking about? I have probably put over 25,000 miles on my Seven in the DC metro area alone. I drive the 495, 270, 95 all the time. It's no big deal as long as you pay attention.

Johan. Welcome to the DC area. we have several Sevens in this area. In fact we are planning a Sevens Burgers and Beer for early January to be held in Bethesda, MD. You are most welcome to join us. Send me your email and I will add you to the local Sevens List so you know when we set the date.

Does anyone know if it is possible to be signed off by a local PCA and have that accepted by PCA at LOG?

Does anyone have experience with a Caterham S3 using a race clutch in a T9? If so I would like to know Manufacture and #s as well as the likes and dislikes. Streetable, Noisy etc. Thanks.

I look forward to the videos.

Good luck with the NorEaster that is hitting you guys now. I hope the new sand dunes don't wash back into your homes. Prayers r with you.

Guys, I am sorry to hear of your losses but thankfull no one was hurt. Good luck to you all with your insurance coverages. If I were closer I would bring my shovel and alot of beer.

Folis Jones has a Massive head plus other goodies in his Birkin and claims 258 hp. He is fast.
