I had a full removable cage made by Piper Motorsport in Sterling VA. The cahe adds three full cross members to the under side to increase ridigity. as far as added weight goes - it simply replaced the balast I needed to make autocross minimum weight. The cage meets SCCA and NASA specs. Looks good, easy enter/exit and I can take it off and replace the FIA Bar and top in 30 minutes. P1000637.bmp P1000639.bmp P1000644.bmp P1000645.bmp P1000647.bmp

I think it is just a stock clutch from a 2000 Focus/Zetec. Cheap.

Mondo, Where did you find her?

What any of this has to do with Sevens?

Karl, They will love it. It's extra safe!

Mazda, I went to measure mine and found it still had the 15" Wheels on. Ride height is 5.15" behind the front A arm and 5.5" in front of the rear wheel. Balance is 49% F and 51% R The Raceline Pan is the lowest point. With the 13" wheels it only has 1" clearance.

Karl, Are you hiding the TALL roll bar? Have a blast.

I have always used fedEx for parts from the UK. Never had any issues with customs or outlandish FedEx fees.

Looking for a Caterham 22% wide track steering rack.

No one said he has to take it on the track. Just bring it to the track and hang out. The more the merrier. :cheers:

will do. You can share the hotel info with the Jersey boys.

At least I have to leave the house. I walk or drive 4 blocks to my office. It takes me 6 minutes to walk or ten minutes to drive and find a parking space. That is if I don't catch the one red light on the ride in.

Croc Are you going to sign up for Hyperfest at Summit Point in June? Karl has.

Great photos. Where was they taken?

I beleive Summit Point caps it at 35 cars on track at one time. If we all sign up as soon as registration opens, we can all siign up for HPDE 3. George seems happy in HPDE 2. That said, Hyperfest sellsout fast. Yes there is a circus element that comes with the drifter crowd in the spectators. So Tom, when are you registering at the Hampden Inn?

For room reservations at the Hampton Inn on Berryville road in Berryvill call 540-678-4000. Ask for the Summit Point Event rate of $76 per nite. That includes breakfast. Two registered so far. Folis stays in his mobile home. Russ sleeps in his trailer.

8 Committed drivers and counting. Only six months to go. Michael Dougherty Folis Jones Rus Strogh Georgr Hillard Dermot McDermot Jeff Duncan Scott Lentz Karl - "blubarisax"

Karl are you really In? Great! Call Hampton inn on Berryville road now for your room. Everyone will have to become a NASA member (if you are not already) $45 a year. Join your own area. NE, Mid Atlantic, etc. I spoke wirh the chief insructor for NASA Mid Atlantic today. He will consider each new driver on a individual basis. If you have previoud track experience that places you in HPDE 3 you will likely be placed there. If not you may be placed in HPDE 2. Whatever level you are placed in, it is subject to your driving at thhat level. If not you could be moved to a lower level. My experience is they are safety first yet fair. I have driven with many of you at NJMP and all of those drivers would be fine in NASA HPDE 3. How about the rest of you? Follow Karl. What else could be more fun that weekend?

What is Hyperfest? Please visit http://www.hyper-fest.com/ Do the dancing girls ride with you? That is up to you. I bet they get more than one offer. Please visit: http://www.hyper-fest.com/?page_id=376 Instructors in Level One and a one seater - you may have to defer to Folis Jones since he is an instructor. I will pass it on to him.
