1. Re: TYRES (score: 1): Author: Sam Drake <drake@cs.utah.edu>; Date: Mon, 22 May 2006 11:39:56 -0600 (MDT); This year, we ran 25 X 8 X 12 (outer dia X width X rim dia) ATV tires on 12 X 7 rims. Previously, we ran 22 X 8 X 10 ATV tires on 10 X 6 rims. In both cases, the tires are front tires from four wheel; /html/mini-baja/2006-05/msg00006.html (7,566 bytes)

Re: Brake Bias Mechanism (score: 1): Author: Sam Drake <drake@cs.utah.edu>; Date: Thu, 12 May 2005 13:23:52 -0600 (MDT); Look at the brake balance bar not the proportioning valve that Wilwood makes. You can also get this with an adjustment knob but it is probably not needed for Mini-Baja. This is a standard setup for r; /html/mini-baja/2005-05/msg00007.html (7,678 bytes)
3. Re: Battery Charging Systems (score: 1): Author: Sam Drake <drake@cs.utah.edu>; Date: Wed, 16 Mar 2005 08:43:15 -0700 (MST); I think that what they are concerned with is if the battery will leak if it is inverted. There are gel type lead acid batteries that are sealed and will not leak in any position. You can buy rough se; /html/mini-baja/2005-03/msg00022.html (8,936 bytes)
4. Re: CV Axles (score: 1): Author: Sam Drake <drake@cs.utah.edu>; Date: Thu, 10 Feb 2005 18:46:07 -0700 (MST); We have run CVs from both a Geo Metro (Suzuki Swift, Chevy ??, etc) and a Subaru Justy. Of the 2, I would recommend the Geo Metro. However, the past several years, we have run modified ATV half shaft; /html/mini-baja/2005-02/msg00011.html (7,380 bytes)
5. Re: Brake Master Cylinder (score: 1): Author: Sam Drake <drake@cs.utah.edu>; Date: Thu, 27 Jan 2005 08:44:29 -0700 (MST); You need two master cylinders side by side with separate reservoirs. You should use a balance bar between the master cylinders so that you can adjust the relative braking front to rear. We have used; /html/mini-baja/2005-01/msg00020.html (8,164 bytes)
6. Re: Brake Master Cylinder (score: 1): Author: Sam Drake <drake@cs.utah.edu>; Date: Fri, 28 Jan 2005 08:37:19 -0700 (MST); This would probably meet the rules but does not provide the ability to balance the brakes between the front and rear. A front engine car such as the VW Rabbit needs more front braking compared with a; /html/mini-baja/2005-01/msg00022.html (7,997 bytes)
7. Re: brakes and helmets (score: 1): Author: Sam Drake <drake@cs.utah.edu>; Date: Mon, 13 Dec 2004 08:47:12 -0700 (MST); It is much smarter to split the brakes front to rear. This is what is done on almost all race cars so that you can balance the ratio of braking front to rear. Most cars such as NASCAR have a knob tha; /html/mini-baja/2004-12/msg00038.html (8,521 bytes)

Re: Trying to Start a Team (score: 1): Author: Sam Drake <drake@cs.utah.edu>; Date: Sun, 7 Nov 2004 12:14:36 -0700 (MST); In Utah, we had our first team in 1986, did not start until Janurary and showed up at the western competetion with 3 running cars in mid-April with about 14 students total.

Re: Commet CV transmission (score: 1): Author: Sam Drake <drake@cs.utah.edu>; Date: Wed, 24 Sep 2003 12:17:53 -0600 (MDT); You can probably get a catalog from comet that explains how these devices work. Unfortunately, their web site at www.hoffcocomet.com does not have a good explanation. To answer some of your questions; /html/mini-baja/2003-09/msg00009.html (8,322 bytes)
10. Weather for Mini-Baja West. (score: 1): Author: Sam Drake <drake@cs.utah.edu>; Date: Thu, 1 May 2003 18:18:21 -0600 (MDT); It is a little early to know what the weather is going be at the end of next week. The seven day forcast for next Thursday is mostly cloudy with highs in the mid 60's which is not too bad. However, t; /html/mini-baja/2003-05/msg00000.html (7,653 bytes)

13. Cost of Briggs and Stratton 10 hp engine. (score: 1): Author: Sam Drake <drake@cs.utah.edu>; Date: Mon, 7 Apr 2003 08:51:01 -0600 (MDT); Is there an official cost of the the 10 hp engine?. In previous years there has been an official cost given in the rules. However, there does not seem to have been an official cost for the engine giv; /html/mini-baja/2003-04/msg00006.html (6,963 bytes)

Re: firewall attachment (score: 1): Author: Sam Drake <drake@cs.utah.edu>; Date: Sat, 1 Mar 2003 13:54:25 -0700 (MST); I would also suggest the technique of welding tabs to the frame and then either use pop rivets or small screws to attach the firewall. I would not rivet directly to the frame. In the past, we have ha; /html/mini-baja/2003-03/msg00002.html (7,896 bytes)
