SCCa isnt going to do our cars any favors to autocross in F-MOd. They already feel that the F500 cars are overdogs compared to the solo Vees (which is total Bullshit!), but that is the consensus anyway. If anything they will make us run smaller tires, smaller engines and give us a larger weight penalty. I have seen 3 consecutive improvements to the solo vees rules and not a single gimmee for our cars. What does that tell you? Bill Schmidt 88 Red Devil Kawi
>>> "dan hester" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 08/11/06 11:15 AM >>> the Fox shocks on my arctic cat would be a suitable shock also, the spring rates are adjustable and aftermarket price isnt too bad either take a look at some of those, the weights are close too so its almost "off the shelf" on another note , autocross has thier own rules cant you guys get some of the rules lightened up just for you. I would imagine since the conditions of the tracks and surfaces you run on are are "inconsistent with the provisions and intent" of the rules? hehe some scca wording there after all the rules for club racing are wrote assuming you are running on a decent track surface. its of like saying you have to use a set up for pavement racing but were scheduling the race at a dirt track :) have a nice weekend all dan >From: "Jan Schmidt" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Reply-To: [email protected] >To: [email protected] >Subject: Re: [F500] Shock Talk for Chuck and Jay >Date: Fri, 11 Aug 2006 10:49:18 -0500 > >I personally am not in favor of the conventional shocks for our cars.
