  1. Careful. Running non DOT approved tires in Time Attack will remove you from a street class. It may move you into a class that requires a full fire suit as well as additional safety features required on your car. I found that out the hard way wen I arrived with A6s instead of Toyo R1s. That said, A6s provide great traction and wear well for the track while Hoosier or Goodyear Bias slicks work very well for autocross.
  2. Wow is right ! I want one for my car. More specs and pics please. :-)
  3. seem reasonable to me since my 2002 with 216 HP is 35K

    Caterham f1

    A man with a plan. We'll see.
  7. Great shots and commentary. My favorite is the freight train photo. What would be fun is a 7s lead and follow. Form a train of evens. After each lap, the lead car drops to the rear and the second car chooses the line and e for the others to follow. We keep lapping until every one has had a chance to lead. ... Maybe we could let Mike set this on out. Just kidding Mike. I think we could get enough Sevens involved to be all Sevens for the weekend. We got 77 Sevens for the Tail of the Dragon in '07 Tom, can you get some dates and prices from the track? Once we have that we can start promoting. Will they allow camping at the track for those that drive a long distance with campers or even tents? This can influence a good number of drivers. Later in June, early July (WARMER) may be better than earlier. I think I can get Russ Strough, Folis Jones, Dermot McDermot, Norm Beaver and George Hillard. With enough notice. I might even get a few Stalkers. A SEVENS BLAST ON TWO NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED TRACKS IN ONE WEEKEND! That would be hard to turn down. How much do they need to guarantee the track? I am always good for the first two weeks of July while I am Batching it. Count me in.
  8. Porsches are generally fun to run with although some do not like being passed by a pesky kit car ;-) Shelby Cobra replicas (Not Mustang Cobras) would be a good group to alternat heats with. How about BMW Club? See you in 5 months?
  9. Sorry I missed it. Moving into a new office. Good to hear there were no major incidents. New brakes for the Birkin? See you all next year. What's the first warmish track day Tom?
  10. Bob, They are green, Brand new. $450 each. + S&H.
  11. Sorry fro the delay in status update. Kodiaks - Sold Motoleita steering wheel - Sold Shocks and springs - Sold T-9s still available Caterham muffler/cat available Caterham roll bar available 2 NEW Caterham clam shells available
  12. NJMP or Summit Point. It seems more prudent to take Friday off and go to SP then spend S&S with wifey. Have fun guys.
  13. Mike, Nice colour. Very UK. Enjoy. Sorry about the track restrictions. Can't Tom pull some strings for you?
  14. Mike, Will that external mic allow us to hear that Ohssssssssssssssssssshit you say as your gardening experiment begins? If so it will be well worth it. ;-)
  15. Check your auto insurance policy. I found that my insurance policy had a glass clause. It covered sending a nwe windshield with stanchions overnight from England. No kidding. They said that costs less than shipping any american windshield across Manhatten.
  16. I posted photos of the 13" MotoLetia streering wheel and Prisoner wheels with 888s on http://www.topdocsracing.com under Caterham for Sale. One set of Kodiacs are sold as is the MotoLetia steering wheel.
  17. The steering wheel is a 13" moto Lita wood rim.
  18. I will try to post photos of the wheels and steering wheel this weekend. Sdca1 - I did not receive a PM Stig - I did not receive a PM
  19. I am in Bethesda. send me a PM
  20. Garage cleanout. That means I am parting with some Caterham parts. Stock roll bar 4 - AVO adjustable shocks Several assorted springs pairs A Arms Front std sway bar T-9 transmissions, one short shaft and one long shaft 4 - 10 x 13 Kodiak wheels with Hoosier Wets – used maybe four days 5 – 6.5 x 15 Prisoner wheels with new Toyo 888 1 stock wood rim Momo steering wheel
  21. Tom, Is this members only time or is it with a group? How late in the Fall do they have evennts at NJMP? I missed NASA atVIR this weekend and will miss NASA SP in November for work. I may need a fix before I put the car away for the winter. Michael Michael
  22. Mike, Very well done. The car looks great. Can I bring mine up and leave it with you for a few weeks?
  23. John, Why did you remove the video from YouTube?
  24. Terry, If you were asking about my car, it is the first factory Caterham Zetec in the US. The 1998 chassis was modified by Caterham in England to fit the Zetec and then shipped to Frank Bolton in Atlanta in 2000. Frank was the US Caterham distributor at the time. When Frank sold the distributorship to Jon Nelson he sold the car to George Alderman of Mid-Atlantic Cateham. George then sold it to me. I replaced the stock Zetec engine with a New ZX3 motor from Ford Racing and had Mid Atlantic Caterham make the initial upgrade of cams and throttle bodies. The final and current tune and cams and all subsequent engine maintenance has be performed by Quicksilver in Frederick, MD. The NEW QuickSilver motor dynoed at 216HP on pump gas as of June 18, 2011. It is registered in Maryland as assembled vehicle and has a lifetime Maryland emissons inspection waiver. More info on http://www.topdocsracing.com
  25. Specs like my car, minus a some HP from the Quicksilver engine mod; a custom, full removable, roll cage, race shocks and springs, Quaife LSD and clam shells. Oh yeah, mine does not have the "extra" heaterfile:///C:/Users/Michael/AppData/Local/Temp/moz-screenshot-1.png. :-) Posted For Sale at: http://www.topdocsracing.com/home/photos-2file:///C:/Users/Michael/AppData/Local/Temp/moz-screenshot.png
