Disappointing I won't see any of you gents this weekend. Stay dry, have fun. Hopefully the witch doctors and shamans will be on our side weather-wise.

Forecast 2 weeks out is still looking good.

Wooooooooooooowwwwww. To be forgotten so completely UN- -F___ING- -BELEIVABLE I checked in hoping for a Independence Day weekend event, but being away from a holiday may make this easier for me for me to come down, show the face, and catch up on many missed friends, years, events, and stories of the aforementioned.

Ha. Correct question is who had the best costume:jester:. Really have to make it down there one year.

...And don't drive like my brother!

Must not waste all money on beer when going to St Johnsbury....must resist for beer. I wasn't overly impressed w/ Alchemist.

I'm just lost as to what it will accomplish. Audi is successful in other series but will give that up to start on the F1 learning curve.

E Prod going on now.

7 on the pole! http://scca.growsites.net/

interested in the hood if Rob backs out.

Carp! wrong end of Va. Any idea of maximum capacity? standard size from Brunton, 14x6 deck?

Usually find him at the WDCR SCCA autoXs at FedEX field.

Wish I coul be down there this weekend. Have fun, kill tires!

Toe is across the axle. Thrust angle is when comparing both, but most use separate values for both axles. I have a Smart Camber tool and toe plates from Longacre. Caster is reading that is best left to a machine.

1st or 2nd gear rev limiter? very nice.

check under Last Place.

As soon as they learn how to fly...

So a friend of mine tells me over the weekend that I should also consider looking at ramps trucks instead of the old truck/Montrose combo. Build an enclosure over the back and get it retitled as an RV to keep away from any CDL issues.

Makes that weekend more enjoyable.

Ugh, wrong coast. Saw it on Apexspeed as well. GLWS!

Internet is wonky at work so I suspect that the 160 is update to the Sigma powered Roadsport. Chapman wanted to build racecars. Some of those races needed cars that were also roadworthy. Lotus really wasn't on 'solid' footing till the Elite from what I remember, if I am in error, please correct me. You must also consider what engines and tires were available in the 1950s. Today I can order street tires have more grip than their race tires. I believe that Chapman would have used a more powerful motor that what you would expect an built the chasis' rigidity accordingly. I would expect than a modern design of the 7 from Colin Chapman would actually be very close to a closed body Ariel Atom/Exocet. If he did not opt for the rear mid-engine layout, I would imagine that the traditional layout would weigh ~1400lbs, include the full cage as standard(easy huge increase in rigidity if not added afterwards), and come with an engine that make 180hp quite easily. I would also expect a very functional IRS... I would not expect a low price on such a car. And this is essentially the market that we see today.

Not a big P-car fan, but 930 slants are definitely up there w/ 911 & 912 SCs.

A 225-45-15 street tire will fit a 9" wide wheel very well. Even the "clubman" trackday tires, NT01/R888/RA1/A048, will be fine with that sidewall on the wheel. The Hankook RS3 and BFG Rival have been showing similar performance despite the difference in treadwear rating.

That's not a bad day shampoo. 90w-140 is. That and brake fluid.

Don't worry Mike, no one will confuse the both of you. I figure that car will be polished quite a bit.
