It is true that the Vees sit a lot higher than us, however, if you lower the rear of a Vee, you end up with more negative camber and most of them have too much now , sitting up high. Bill Schmidt 88 Red Devil Kawi with crap tires
>>> John Whitling <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 09/30/06 12:18 PM >>> In my opinion, the SV guys must first unite and agree with themselves on maybe 3 different proposals ... and quickly. The biggest problem is that many of them I've spoken with don't want to have to spend any money to go faster. The second problem is that many of them feel it's a power problem (IMO far from the truth). I'll go out on a limb here and point out a few things that I observed at nats ... lots of vees that sit very high off the ground no 2 driver vees (a big issue this year) Scott Nardin (the leading Vee) tried a new tire setup on the first day that didn't work. His 2nd day performance wasn't bad when he reverted back to his known good setup. We should try to work with the Vee guys. First they must come to some kind of consensus, second they have to realize that it will cost some money, and third (IMO) motor ain't it. Are the Vees limited on the gearsets for their transaxles? If so opening up gearing rules might help. IMO disc brakes would help and probably allow them to make something like a 950 lb weight at the same time. Rack and pinion probably wouldn't increase speed much but it would make the Vees nicer and give them another tuning tool. ________________________________ FormulaCar Magazine - A Proud Supporter of Formula 500 The Official Publication of Junior Formula Car Racing Subscribe Today! www.formulacarmag.com or 519-624-2003 _________________________________ _______________________________________________ F500 mailing list - [email protected] To unsubscribe or change options please visit: http://f500.org/mailman/listinfo/f500 *** Please, DO NOT send unsubscribe requests to the mailing list! ***
