After my aborted first run because it would- n’t even run under load, I moved the car out of the shop to try to figure out what to do next. On a sug- gestion from Greg (or was it Bobert?) we pushed the car under a tree to get some shade. After find- ing out the accelerator pump jets were waaaay too big, and not having any others, Rick Knapp “modified” them by squeezing the holes smaller with a pair of pliers. High tech, huh? Who needs a shop and thousands of dollars worth of tools and parts when there’s a tall tree around and you have a screwdriver and a pair of pliers! They work so well that I’m not even going to bother getting any others that have actual sized holes. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it <grin>! By the way, thanks again Rick, Scott, and Doug for getting the Vee running right! I’m having fun - are you? 2002 Annual Tech Contacts Racers, start your engines!

With the help of our partner, BFGoodrich Tires, the series expanded to nine events for 2012, and included one special event in each division. These race weekends featured elements that aren’t always available at National Races, adding to the competitors’ experi- ence. We also unveiled the Majors program in the middle part of the coun- try this season, giving racers in the Rocky Mountain, Midwest and Southwest Divisions an opportunity to run for a larger championship without having to travel the country.

    VARAC’s FORMULA CLASSIC CLASSIFICATIONS It is VARAC’s goal to develop an open wheel, Formula Classic, division which is strong enough to support its own grid at any VARAC attended racing event. Formula Classic grid at VARAC’s 40th Anniversary races at Shannonville, 2019 VARAC has three basic open wheel classifications which are aligned to reflect the Club’s sports car classes. They are: Formula Historic, Formula 70 and Formula 90. FORMULA HISTORIC: All Formula cars built before January 1, 1973. These are generally cars built before the evolution of slick tires and aerodynamic appendages. They include everything from Vintage Formula Juniors and 500cc Formula Threes to Formula 5000 cars. The most likely cars of this era (besides those described below) are Formula Bs, the most popular of these being the Brabham BT29. FORMULA 70: All Formula cars built from 1973 to 1989. FORMULA 90: All Formula cars built from January 1, 1990 to December 31, 1999. Many F70 and F90 cars are frequently referred to as “wings and slicks” cars, for obvious reasons. During the ‘70s and ‘80s, treadless tires and aerodynamic devises appeared on many Formula cars. Not all Formula car classes were permitted to use slick tires and/or wings, however, for example, Formula Vee and Formula Ford. Usually cost saving was the motive for restricting slicks and/or wings. In VARAC, for now at least, Formula cars are separated into the three general classifications. There are five exceptions to this rule, which are outlined below. Obviously, there are a myriad of Formula car classes and amateur and professional series which raced prior to 2000.

  • A Guide to ICSCC Race Classes
    A Guide to ICSCC Race Classes This is meant as a general guide only. For specific requirements refer to the ICSCC Competition Regulations. Sports car racing has the most variety of cars of any type of racing. The cars can be broken down into four basic types: Production cars, GT cars, Formula cars, and Sports Racers. Within each of these types, there are numerous classifications: 53 in all. These classifications are divided into six race groups, and all cars assigned to a particular group will run all practice, qualifying, and races together. Any race has several classes of cars running, so there will be races within the race. This can lead to some confusion as to what is happening on track! This guide will help you sort it out... Production Cars The Production cars are the closest to street vehicles, and many are driven to and from the track. There are very limited modifications permitted. The drive train is for all practical purposes stock. The interior can be stripped to reduce fire hazard, and basic safety equipment is added, such as a roll cage and fire suppression systems. Production cars are divided into ten classes designated ‘A’ through ‘J’. Markings on the car will tell you which class they are in: AP, BP, CP, and so on. The cars are placed into a class by using the ratio of horsepower to curb weight as a guide. Other factors will affect the classification of a particular car such as type of tires being used. As you watch the Production cars you will notice that certain models of cars domi- nate in a given class.

Dear SCCA Media Partners, Welcome to what is truly a new era of the Sports Car Club of America, as the SCCA National Champi- onship Runoffs heads west for the first time in 46 years to Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca. This event, made possible with the help of our friends and partners at Mazda and the Sports Car Rac- ing Association of the Monterey Peninsula (SCRAMP), was met with questions at its announcement that have been answered in a big way, with more than 530 drivers on the entry list and a rejunvenaton of the west coast program all season long. While we haven’t been west of the Rockies since River- side International Raceway in 1968, it’s hard to believe it will be that long before we return again. The question on everyone’s mind, even more than usual, is who is going to win? Are there hidden gems on the west coast who may be making their first Runoffs appearance that will make a name for themselves on the national stage, or will the traditional contenders learn a new track quickly enough to hold their titles? My guess is that we’ll see some of each.

  • Motorsport 2017 History
    MOTORSPORT 2017 HISTORY HISTORY Ever since the company was founded in 1976, Öhlins has represented the very pinnacle of suspension technology and firmly rooted itself as an intricate part of the motorsport industry, underpinning countless world titles. That very technology has subsequently been adopted not only as the gold standard of aftermarket suspension, but is also by car and motorcycle manufacturers around the world. Back in the 1960’s, Kenth Öhlin was an up-and-coming motocross rider and showed an innate talent for mechanics. He knew how to bring the best out of his material and soon he saw himself engaged in modifying his competitor’s bikes. By the time he started his business he had already designed exhaust pipes, engines and – of course – shock absorbers. Öhlins soon became synonymous with advanced suspension. The products were not only superior in terms of technology, but as Mr. Öhlin was, and is, a very meticulous man the quality was always outstanding. The first world championship was won already in 1978, as Russian Gennady Moiseev took the 250cc title on an Öhlins equipped KTM. Since then, more than another 300 world titles have followed. The success continued in road racing and soon also in the automotive segment, in racing as well as in rally, all adding to the motorsport pedigree. But don’t think that Öhlins was content, not for a minute. The company continued to grow, adding electronically controlled, semi-active suspension to its portfolio under the trademark CES. Today, this technology has revolutionized the car industry and can be found in a wide range of products from premium car manufacturers.
