I do things...  Group: Members Posts: 7,809 Joined: 2-December 03 From: Napa, Ca Member No.: 1,413 Region Association: Northern California  |
Went Saturday way up into the mountains to recover an old FV racecar with two good engines and lot of extras including a new set of Hoosiers on new rims.
It belongs to a friend of mine who used to race it from the mid 80's to mid 90's. it's back in Napa and we want to tear it down, rebuild it and take it through SCCA race school next year. He'll want to sell it after that, buy a 914 and time trial/ax with us kooks (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif) FYI: even though a vee makes just 60hp and weighs 1000#'s with the driver, they can put up sub 2:00 lap times at both Sears and Thunderhill. True momemtum cars. 1200cc single carb, mid-engine, open wheel. They extract 50% more hp from the stock 40hp motors with careful headwork and flywheel lightening. And they rev up to 7k rpm's (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif) KT Attached image(s)

Cool score !!! In my circle of friends, Vees are a hot topic, I guess I'm getting old (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif) There is still an underground following for these, but you have to look for it. I am definatly gonna ask a bud about whats going on over here. This class has seemed to have fazed out for the newer/hotter carts, F**k they're fast. I love open wheels. You gotta keep us posted. How long have you been racing (polite way to ask your aprox age) +Karma Later (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beer.gif) |
