    Interest in Ford Racing Splitter?

    The LS extends out somewhat further, the WC one followed (and really follows) the rules set by that and other series

    I have the EPS with the outer path - looking for the revision with the mounting holes included (though I do remember having to open up one hole on two positions that were mirrored, not by much but hopefully I can find which two - they were slightly too wide in X axis). I'll upload it shortly

    Interest in Ford Racing Splitter?

    I did something similar a while ago with the world challenge 10-12 splitter (might be the same part)? This is the only picture I have on hand (doesn't show drill points) but have an EPS we were using to waterjet replacement blades with. Couldn't differentiate between the ones we had cut and the...

    NASA AZ @ Chuckwalla (Crossover event w/SoCal) - 17-18 Feb 2024

    I'd like to report that out of all the ST cars, the two mustangs were the only ones I didn't have to talk to at some point about some area of misconduct or compliance.I can't tell you where they placed (and may not for some time while we sort out all the body contact), but it was a fun...

    those desk clamps are really nice. I've spent too much at HF recently, but I think I need a set of those.

    S197 FTWMS #50 S197 NASA Super Touring Racecar

    No worries, they did make a difference. They didn't totally take away knockback especially on stickier tires like S8M or A7, but mitigated it enough that I had meaningful brake on first press (I still doubled this setup) but didn't have significant drag. There's no free lunch, but 4lbs seemed to...

    Building and Blueprinting a Road Race Motor (mini-build thread)

    I blew it up, but it was a oil pump issue, I think I aerated the pump and that took it out. Otherwise it gave 3 years of trouble free service. I wish I had done a real windage tray with crank scraper on it, or had gone dry sump and I'm sure it would still be in service.

    Happy Halloween, er, Birthday , to that Grumpy Old Racer Captain Distraction!

    Thanks! Not a lot of laps or hoosiers these days, but maybe someday in the next orbit around the sun.(really, I should unload the set of A7 stickers laying around in my garage)

    Cracked OEM headers in a GT350

    Is that all the way through and leaking? Its definitely cracked - which means the manifold has to come out (if anything I would just replace it - I’m sure its not too difficult to track down a stock header for these cars.
