I talked to Ken Gilanders about it, he said that is what you want, use an angle grinder to make notches in the block for clearance. I think you need to grind two, maybe three webs. It is much easier if you remember to do that before you take the block to the machine shop and get it cleaned!

Van: "fot" Aan: "fot" Cc: "Joe Flower II" Verzonden: Vrijdag 1 mei 2020 00:29:19 Onderwerp: [Fot] Moldex Crankshaft I ordered a Triumph TR4 billet crankshaft from Moldex by phone from Joe Flowers in June 2017. I received it in September 2017. At my next engine rebuild, in March of 2019, I installed the crank in the prepared engine block. It would not completely rotate as the counterweight hit the engine block. The counterweights had not been completely machined. I returned the crank to Moldex after a phone call to Joe Flower to discuss the problem. In about 2-1/2 weeks I received the crank back. I finished the engine rebuild, took the engine off the engine stand and proceeded to bolt the flywheel on. Only three of the four tapped holes in the crank were completely tapped. The fourth had about 2 or 3 threads and that is all. We broke a tap off in the hole trying to manually tap it through. I again called Joe, disassembled the engine, and shipped the crank back to Moldex for completion. I received it back again in about 2-1/2 weeks. Reassembled the engine and raced in three weekends in 2019, no problems. I called Joe in April 2019 and asked to be reimbursed for the $130 in shipping costs to ship the crank back to him for completion, twice. Since April 2019 I have called about 10 times to ask to recover the shipping costs. Twice I was told a check had been sent. I have not received the $130 as of this date.

Now what is their fault, considering that Moldex was #1 in my experience, not too many years ago, I ordered 3 TR-3/4 cranks, and gave them 2 numbers for journal size, rods & mains, no guessing on journal size +/-.4-5 months AFTER the scheduled delivery date I got them.BE journal size was good, the mains were fat by .0009, damned near a full thou!So much for oil clearance...No machine shop wants to touch a job that sensitive so they had to go back to Moldex.When I finally got them back, then I discovered the problem on 2 of them with the flywheel bolt holes not being indexed properly and several poorly tapped holes. We also had one fail once when very badly over-revved, but I noticed something peculiar in the failed section and sent it back to them for analysis, curiosity more than anything, never heard a word back...FWIWGlen -----Original Message----- From: van.mulders.marcel--- via Fot To: timmmurphh Cc: fot Sent: Fri, May 1, 2020 2:01 pm Subject: Re: [Fot] Moldex Crankshaft #yiv0541564891 #yiv0541564891 p.yiv0541564891MsoNormal, #yiv0541564891 li.yiv0541564891MsoNormal, #yiv0541564891 div.yiv0541564891MsoNormal {margin-top:0.0in;margin-right:0.0in;margin-bottom:8.0pt;margin-left:0.0in;line-height:106.0%;font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri , sans-serif;}#yiv0541564891 span.yiv0541564891EmailStyle17 {font-family:Calibri , sans-serif;color:windowtext;}#yiv0541564891 *.yiv0541564891MsoChpDefault {font-family:Calibri , sans-serif;}#yiv0541564891 div.yiv0541564891WordSection1 {}#yiv0541564891 When this happens, you cannot have confidence in the part anymore.

Van: "fot" Aan: "fot" Cc: "Joe Flower II" Verzonden: Vrijdag 1 mei 2020 00:29:19 Onderwerp: [Fot] Moldex Crankshaft I ordered a Triumph TR4 billet crankshaft from Moldex by phone from Joe Flowers in June 2017.? I received it in September 2017.? At my next engine rebuild, in March of 2019, I installed the crank in the prepared engine block.? It would not completely rotate as the counterweight hit the engine block.? The counterweights had not been completely machined.? I returned the crank to Moldex after a phone call to Joe Flower to discuss the problem.? In about 2-1/2 weeks I received the crank back.? I finished the engine rebuild, took the engine off the engine stand and proceeded to bolt the flywheel on.? Only three of the four tapped holes in the crank were completely tapped.? The fourth had about 2 or 3 threads and that is all. We broke a tap off in the hole trying to manually tap it through. I again called Joe, disassembled the engine, and shipped the crank back to Moldex for completion. I received it back again in about 2-1/2 weeks. Reassembled the engine and raced in three weekends in 2019, no problems.?I called Joe in April 2019 and asked to be reimbursed for the $130 in shipping costs to ship the crank back to him for completion, twice.? Since April 2019 I have called about 10 times to ask to recover the shipping costs.? Twice I was told a check had been sent.? I have not received the $130 as of this date.?This is a cautionary tale for those who are thinking of buying a billet crankshaft from Moldex.?Tim Murphy1961 Triumph TR4 #317? _______________________________________________ fot at autox.team.net http://www.fot-racing.com Donate: http://www.team.net/donate.html Archive: http://autox.team.net/archive http://www.team.net/pipermail/fot Unsubscribe/Manage: http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/fot/van.mulders.marcel at telenet.be _______________________________________________ fot at autox.team.net http://www.fot-racing.com Donate: http://www.team.net/donate.html Archive: http://autox.team.net/archive http://www.team.net/pipermail/fot Unsubscribe/Manage: http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/fot/fubog1 at aol.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Compression on cyl no1 is 9.5 bar and on cyl 2 it is 8 bar. The compression on the other cylinders is between 12 and 13.5 bar. This is with a race cam with a valve overlap of 110? (320-F grind). Because of the high overlap, the piston has risen a lot before the inlet valve is closed, so I did the compression test again, but with a valve lash of 2.5mm/0.1" : compression went from 9.5 bar to 14.5 on cyl no 1 and from 8 bar to 15 on cyl no 2. With this valve lash, the compression on the other cylinders went up to 16 - 18.5 bar. Of course, when the engine is running at high rpm, a lot of valve overlap is necessary for best cylinder filling, but I wonder if 110? isn't too much?? The recommended valve lash is 0.40mm/0.016" when the rocker ratio is 1.45(0.43mm/ with my 1.55 roller rockers). Would it be risky to set the valve lash at some 0.05mm/0.002" higher? PS : is it common practice to set the valve lash at a couple of mm to perform a compression test, because it seems that the valve lash has a lot of influence on the result when testing a race camshaft?

It is NOT a Fidanza brand. The steel ring gear is thru bolted not sealed with a bolt 1/2 in the aluminum and the other 1/2 in the ring gear. Custom done correctly so it won't separate down the road. I have gone to a Tilton hydraulic slave/release bearing set up. All my stuff has to be between 0.175 -0.250 between the clutch fingers and the release bearing. Ive gone with steel flywheels so all the engines can just bolt the tranny on and not have to readjust the spacing. So now I have this really nice flywheel and won't be using it.

Compression on cyl no1 is 9.5 bar and on cyl 2 it is 8 bar. The compression on the other cylinders is between 12 and 13.5 bar. This is with a race cam with a valve overlap of 110? (320-F grind). Because of the high overlap, the piston has risen a lot before the inlet valve is closed, so I did the compression test again, but with a valve lash of 2.5mm/0.1" : compression went from 9.5 bar to 14.5 on cyl no 1 and from 8 bar to 15 on cyl no 2. With this valve lash, the compression on the other cylinders went up to 16 - 18.5 bar. Of course, when the engine is running at high rpm, a lot of valve overlap is necessary for best cylinder filling, but I wonder if 110? isn't too much?? The recommended valve lash is 0.40mm/0.016" when the rocker ratio is 1.45(0.43mm/ with my 1.55 roller rockers). Would it be risky to set the valve lash at some 0.05mm/0.002" higher?

I think the man who has put the big valves in it, has taken too much risks : the valve seats (the rings that are pressed into the cyl head) are small where they do meet, and maybe the seats are distorted a bit because of this, but I don't know for sure, I will see when pulling the head. I know one cannot change the valve clearance too much, but maybe 0.05mm more valve lash is ok and it will reduce the valve overlap. I believe 110? overlap is a lot, even for a racecamshaft. Any idea's someone about that? The compression test with increased valve lash is much higher than with the recommended valve lash : I wonder if it is making any sense at all to check the compression of a race engine without increasing the valve lash : with the normal clearances, the inlet valve is closing when the piston has already travelled a lot upwards, hence the big difference between the compression test results with normal and with increased valve lash. So I think, if you want to test the compression, you have to increase the valve lash firstly(at least when the engine has a race camshaft).

Checking at 0.050" would result in much lower overlap. Installed at 103?(=advanced a bit) , inlet valve is opening 53? before TDC and exhaust valve is closing at 57? after TDC. But 110? is a lot of overlap :the BFE24 grind has 112? but most racecams are between 95 and 105? it seems. The cam in my engine is installed at 104?, I'm thinking of trying to advance it to 100? ; then the inlet valve is closing earlier. Now the engine has a REAL 210 hp, with the leaking valves and I'm just starting the testing on my engine dyno. People who are racing TR6 engines are easily talking about 230 and 250hp but you never know what that means. But 210? is disappointing, it should go up, more so because the displacement is 2720cc (evenly spaced bores of 78mm) Marcel Van: "Scott Janzen" Aan: "van mulders marcel" Cc: "tr4racing" , "fot" Verzonden: Zaterdag 2 mei 2020 23:36:31 Onderwerp: Re: [Fot] Valve overlap and compression test Maercel, I?m puzzled. Are you referring to the lobe separation angle, or to the overlap between the intake valve opening before TDC and the exhaust valve closing after TDC on the same revolution? Unless I?m reading them wrong, I?ve looked at some pretty radical cam specs and the opening/closing overlap does not approach 110 degrees, more like 50 degrees on a really aggressive cam, but the lobe separation angle is about 104 degrees on the cam I have in the car and 107 on the cam I?m putting in another engine.

The purpose of the test is not to determine your compression ratio, but to detect differences in pressure between cylinders. Significant differences are an indication of an incipient failure or worn parts. The best practice would be to do an initial compression test after engine break in and then periodically after that, making sure to duplicate as much as possible the conditions of your initial test. That way you can track the relative health of the cylinder components.

The purpose of the test is not to determine your compression ratio, but to detect differences in pressure between cylinders. Significant differences are an indication of an incipient failure or worn parts. The best practice would be to do an initial compression test after engine break in and then periodically after that, making sure to duplicate as much as possible the conditions of your initial test. That way you can track the relative health of the cylinder components.

But 110? is a lot of overlap :the BFE24 grind has 112? but most racecams are between 95 and 105? it seems. The cam in my engine is installed at 104?, I'm thinking of trying to advance it to 100? ; then the inlet valve is closing earlier. Now the engine has a REAL 210 hp, with the leaking valves and I'm just starting the testing on my engine dyno. People who are racing TR6 engines are easily talking about 230 and 250hp but you never know what that means.

So am resending. I have a Devin fiberglass body in primer (believed to be a Vanquist?) that has never been mounted on a frame. It comes with doors, a bonnet and trunk with fairing. The body is sitting on a TR6 bare frame (no suspension, no engine, gearbox, etc) but not mounted on it. The frame has floorboards. The former owner started to modify the frame for a V8 engine, but went on to another project. I received the Devin in a deal with the former owner. I never intended to build it. The frame sits on a rolling wood base. The photos don't show the bonnet and trunk, which I have. There is also a mold for the bonnet and the trunk. This would be a major project but the Devins are rare and this would be a fun race or street car. I will accept any reasonable offer. The body is in Virginia Beach. If no one is interested I will try Barn Finds, Bring-a Trailer or Ebay. If you want to see some completed Devins, go to past auctions on Bring a Trailer. Call to discuss. I am available days and nights until 10PM. Take care and stay safe. Hank Hank Giffin 757-375-1491 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I was a bit amazed to see Kastner Cup is still scheduled our large local track is planning to re-open for very limited use next week; basically private practise and such like, with strict rules re social distancing. another nearbye track operator has told us that he cannot get insurance coverage for any sort of event until the Government removes all forms of restrictions on gatherings, so thats what is stopping him opening, and possibly many other similar tracks.

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <637019605.265946.1589555120112@connect.xfinity.com> I recently disassembled the engine from my TR3 and the rear main area was dry. This was my first TR engine build. I used the orange RTV and carefully watched it just squeeze through gaps and cracks around the bearing cap as I installed the rope covered in RTV. That is the only place I used the orange RTV on the engine or anywhere else. I made a rope install tool just like Kas suggests in his book. What I did find was that the front engine plate was leaking between the plate and engine at the bottom. Oil from this leak makes it's way all over the oil pan and drips off the bolts and back from there. Also, my trans front seal was leaking and that slings fluid around inside the bell housing then drips out the hole at the bottom. The slinging oil also finds it's way out around the clutch fork shaft exiting the bell housing. These two leaks made it difficult to tell if the rear main was leaking or not. I also found trans fluid coming from one of the bolts holding the tail housing on. These obviously need to be sealed up better than they were. At least the rear main wasn't leaking. I'll be more confident installing the rope seal this time around.

They are helpful. It is sad to hear of the cancellations. Good for VARA making it possible to allow people a choice. Those that feel comfortable going to track can go, and those who do not can choose not to go. Sounds American to me. We own a business that has been damaged by many of the decisions that that the government has made. The two previously stated reason for registrations being down in this thread: Financial and Fear of COVID. There are more reasons fo it, than just those two. We have a 3rd reason for not registering: The policies and procedures that are having to be put in place for an event to happen. We have a lot of respect for the race organizers at SVRA, VSCDA, Midwest Council and a few others. They are dealing with a lot to make events a possibility. However, we feel that the insurance companies, the government agencies and others are really over reaching with some of the policies that they are recommending or forcing on business owners. Therefore, we are not entering events until all of this settles down. We value our time at the track very highly. We enjoy the track time and we especially the time with people whose company we really enjoy. We feel that the polices that are in place will detract greatly from both of those things happening. Again, we do not fault the organizations for what they are doing. We just will not participate based on some of the procedures and polices being put in place. Hopefully, there are brighter times ahead for those of who enjoy motorsports. Kind of like the golfers that we see out on courses when we drive-by courses in the area (BTW-We do not play golf). Seems like Covid does not exist for those who play golf, it is business as usual for them. Look forward to seeing people at the track in the future.

All Covid19-related procedures are at the behest of the state and the track owner and are required to be enforced by the sponsoring clubs. No track owner or club can take a chance on being found to operate illegally. None of us have a choice in this matter, there is no negotiation involved (esp. since schedules are overfilled): you can follow track rules or not have an event. If you are going racing this year, you are going to find new constraints everywhere in the country. The VSCDA Covid document closely mirrors SCCA, Midwestern Council, AMA and SVRA guidelines. Gary On Sunday, May 17, 2020, 5:56:27 PM CDT, Dale Oesterle wrote: The extra stuff in the waiver matters. A straightforward wavier waves negligence claims (not claims gross negligence, recklessness or intentional misconduct, depending on the state). A straightforward assumption of risk is an acknowledgement that a participant is willingly and consensually taking a higher than normal risk. ?Both are accepted in the courts. Lawyers use the extra language in an attempt to add, subtly, more layers of liability protection when general law on waivers applies (i.e., there is no broader exemption statute such as those in Colorado for ski lifts). ?Moreover, the contractual provisions on virus procedures should be in a separate contract ? not in the waiver? with remedies specified for breaches. ?The language just confuses people and makes insurance negotiations more complicated.

I understand and sympathize with the waiver text concern - certainly no insurance company will ever write an under-broad one - but it appears to be ~95% identical to the waiver we've been signing for many years. I had a 2014 BFR form deep in the files and scanned it to the attached PDF, along with the current waiver I just received from BFR Cindy. The footnote "2/09" seems to imply it goes back over a decade. I don't have the text memorized but I believe the RA waiver is the same form. I've been a steward for maybe 20 years and our choice as race organizers has always been binary: all sign the waiver or no insurance is provided.

Hasty) Date: Mon, 18 May 2020 02:40:42 +0000 Subject: [Fot] Fwd: 2020 VARAC Release Message-ID: John, Henry: You asked me to take a look at the VARAC release. I generally agree with Dale?s analysis of the waiver, and as Gary observed, all but Section 1 is what insurance companies have been asking us to sign over the years. First let?s all understand that waviers/releases/covenants not so sue relating to events which are to happen in the future are generally enforceable except for acts on the part of the releases of reckless, intentional or gross negligence. (in other words some act on the part of the sanctioning body and its agents which no reasonable person would have anticipated to expose themselves to by entering the event) Other than Section 1, the release is over-broad on purpose placing layers of attempted release language which can be used by defense counsel (of which I am one) to delay and as a result increase the costs of pursuing litigation against the sanctioning body. It also plants in the participant?s mind that it would be useless to attempt action for injuries he/she may have received. (By mentioning increased costs, I would comment that these could be in the tens of thousands of dollars) Now, let?s talk about Section 1. First, set the stage. All scientific information available to us today says that for us to practice safety from the virus we should shelter at home, practice social distances of 6 feet from other individuals while on necessary trips to obtain essential items such as food etc. and wear a mask when near others. In addition the states have instituted various executive orders declaring what enterprises are safe conduct in the virus infected atmosphere. Participating in racing events to my knowledge is not one of them. In the face of these facts come VSCDA, SVRA, SCCA and perhaps others who wish to stage events where hundreds of people will mingle with one another and compete in a relatively limited area. On the question of whether their desires to stage these events are as a result of the overwhelming clamor from their members to stage events in this virus pandemic or because of their own financial interests I will not opine. So, how do these sanctioning bodies entice people to disobey the advice of the scientific community and attend their events? They come up with a long list of things, changes to normal policy, that they are going to enforce in order to make it safe for you to come to their event. No driver?s meeting, no social events, sanitizing this thing and that thing, pages of actions that they will take to make it safe for you to attend their event. But how do the sanctioning bodies protect themselves from the claims of people who relied on their representations that it would be safe to attend their events who do in fact become infected with the virus or some other injury? Enter Section 1 which, in spite of the sanction bodies representations of safety, places the burden on you to determine whether you ?feel safe? to be at the event. There is also the issue of what responsibility would be attributed to you should you be a carrier of the virus which infected another person? It has never been clear to me whether these sanctioning bodies carry participant liability insurance or whether such off track liability would be covered, but you should be aware of this potential liability as well. Whether Section 1 would be enforceable given the representations of safety made by the sanctioning bodies would be an issue, but here again an issue which could cost you thousands of dollars to try and overcome in a court of law. Again, I do not opine on whether the sanctioning bodies should be encouraging people to enter their events or whether it is reasonable and one should, as the release states, ?feel safe? under the present conditions to participate in these events. It?s entirely up to you. [cid:image001.png at 01D62C90.227B0A50] John H. Hasty Attorney at Law Mullen Holland & Cooper P.A. 301 S. York St., P.O.

The waiver protects drivers and their crew as well as the club and track from participant lawsuits. A driver defendant may lose the protection if he/she 1) does not feel safe and runs anyway and if 2) the driver does not follow anything in the complex new package of safety rules (which may include an implied duty to rat on other participants who do not follow all the rules). This is not good.

I am selling the former Abacus Racing BRG TR3 (TS57917L). There was a video of Mike Jackson and Bill Thummel racing at Mid Ohio posted here earlier in the year. Bill won the race on Sat but Mike took it on Sunday. It has a ready to assemble engine and a non-overdrive gearbox, with stock TR3 rear end. It has 5 good panasport wheels. Abacus took a clean no rust street car and converted it for vintage racing in 1991. The SVRA logbook shows 28 races from 1991 to 1997. Abacus then took the engine and gearbox for their TR4. The car sat in a dry garage until I purchased it last year. I intended to make a race car for my son in law and my grandson, or even turn it back to a streetcar. I have since found some Turners that I think will be better for them, and the TR3 is now available with parts. I purchased a ready to assemble engine from Dave Spiwak and that will go with the car for what I paid Dave (list attached) It comes with a very nice sandblasted and painted TR3 frame. It has a New Mexico title. The car looks solid, and has a heavy sway bar in the front. All instruments are there, including an overdrive button on the steering wheel. There is a small dent in the left rear fender which looks like it can be banged out. I have a fiberglass tunnel. The roll bar includes door impact protection. Abacus was very successful with the car. More info and photos available. Roller and frame for $5500. Engine ready to assemble $5000 (pls see attachment - I paid $5K, Dave spent $7721), and the additional below parts I purchased from Dave ($535): Fidanza flywheel $200 Tilton clutch $150 Starter $70 Auto Pro Rev Limiter $15 Detroit Locker $100 I was quoted $1000 to $1500 for engine assembly by Abacus Machine shop. Car needs a fuel cell, tires, brake rebuild, and normal stuff done after a car has been sitting. Car and frame are in Va Bch, engine parts are still in PA and I will pick up or have shipped as soon as Dave can get home. So everything totals $11,350. I prefer it all to go together. Anyone interested? Thanks, Hank Hank Giffin 757-375-1491 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I contacted them (SVRA) today about overcrew tickets to purchase in case you wanted to bring an "additional crew member". They confirmed yes it is a non spectator event but you can indeed purchase overcrew, no limit. Probably within reason though. After I got confirmation I checked the Mid-Ohio website and low and behold you can buy tickets. To further confuse things I had told the locals that it was now a non spectator event so one of them contacted the track yesterday for a refund on a ticket he had purchased on line. Mid-Ohio told him spectators are welcome. So it this point I have no idea, I give up on this one. There have been some questions regarding camping.

Not sure how my friend in Indianapolis is feeling about tagging along and making a road trip of it.? If I do attend it may be fly in to the closest airport, stay in the motel and fly out Sunday evening.? If I do show up and get in as a crew member, I promise to do at least activity that a crew member might do, like check tire pressure, wipe oil off a wrench, or get the charcoal lit for grilling dinner. mjb.

I hadn't had a physical in many years, just surgical patch jobs on a couple of joints. These days licensing requires an annual physical and EKG and I have no complaints. Racing changed my life for the better in a lot of ways and watching my health is one of them. After that first physical they put me on a statin drug for high Cholesterol and later high blood pressure medicine. I did not like being on a statin so I changed my diet, started taking an herbal supplement and got my cholesterol under control to get off the drug. Due to family history of heart issues I still have to take HBP medicine. I started cycling about 10 years later and fixed both. There is a book out there called "Younger Next Year". I highly recommend it.

I have it from a reliable source that the virus protocols currently being drafted up for the upcoming Mid-Ohio race will require mask be worn when not race geared up. Don't freak out, this is consistent with what other race venues are doing. It is what it is. That being said, you don't want to show up with some hokey cloth our your grandmothers babushka draped across your chin. No, you want to show some FOT class don't you! Well my friends I have solved your problem. Remember that Lands End storefront I set up for us last year? They have mask! With the FOT insignia!! I'm not sure how it will look or how they will fit it on a mask but what the heck, I want to be one of the cool (and safe) kids. So in case you forgot, below is the original email I sent our a while ago. Log in and just type "mask" in the search bar and it will get you where you need to go. Note, different colors have different delivery dates so pay attention. Marty From: marty Sent: Wednesday, March 13, 2019 8:50 PM To: FOT Subject: FOT SWAG Ok boys and girls. We now have the ability of purchasing FOT bling. There is now a FOT store front on the Lands End Business website. See the instructions below for a link. This is for getting the FOT logo embroidered on any item in their catalog. It is not for silk screened items. I am starting with the black and white coat of arms that was used in the 2012 special shirt run. Once you run through the sequence a time or two it is pretty simple. I have tried to explain it below. I have used Land Ends Business for other car clubs store fronts and it is top quality and best of all you can return things. Give it a try. Marty Sukey 1, go to https://business.landsend.com/store/fot/ 2, set up an account for yourself and log in. 3, pick an item you might want. 4, click on apply logo, 5, select the FOT logo, 6,if you want, select change colors. Here you can experiment with changing colors on the logo to better suit the color of shirt you pick. If you hit select new colors you will get a drop down with multiple boxes. Try putting a different color in each box and see how it effects the logo. Then you can tweak it as needed. 7, select location. 8, hit apply logo. 9, hit cancel or add to bag. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Don't freak out, this is consistent with what other race venues are doing. It is what it is. That being said, you don't want to show up with some hokey cloth our your grandmothers babushka draped across your chin. No, you want to show some FOT class don't you! Well my friends I have solved your problem. Remember that Lands End storefront I set up for us last year? They have mask! With the FOT insignia!! I'm not sure how it will look or how they will fit it on a mask but what the heck, I want to be one of the cool (and safe) kids.

We now have the ability of purchasing FOT bling. There is now a FOT store front on the Lands End Business website. See the instructions below for a link. This is for getting the FOT logo embroidered on any item in their catalog. It is not for silk screened items. I am starting with the black and white coat of arms that was used in the 2012 special shirt run. Once you run through the sequence a time or two it is pretty simple. I have tried to explain it below.

Here you can experiment with changing colors on the logo to better suit the color of shirt you pick. If you hit select new colors you will get a drop down with multiple boxes.

I have to admit that the appeal is gone; I don't favor spectator events but the K-Cup is completely different, all of the above are what makes this event unique. Are there any numbers on expected entry at this point?I understand just a little from an organizational standpoint and I'm sure Joe & a few other folks are awake at night over this but just wondering if postponing the event is possible?Bummed-out in Fla & but still on the fence...

I had been waiting until I found out if it was really going to happen. I didn't expect that it would be hey, we can check that box.

The heavier the flywheel, the lower the harmonic frequency will be. The flywheel contributes a significant amount to the total rotating inertia due to its weight and that the weight is at greater radius than the other rotating masses. Inertia increases as the square of the radius. It is not a linear function of the radius. An RPM of 5200 was mentioned as the harmonic resonance. I had always heard that it was more like 6300 RPM. I have never seen a calculation for it. It would be complex. Note that lighter pistons and connecting rods would tend to lower the harmonic frequency as they would reduce the inertia in the engine.

In our history, some of the Kastner Cups were small intimate events where good friends got together, raced together, and had a good time. This can be one of those events. ?Significant?. We had Kas at Mid-Ohio in 2002. It was the start of something very important to many of us. Ideally, ?The Return to Mid-Ohio? would have been 2022, but it didn?t seem like a good idea to wait for combined anniversary of the 1st Big Triumph event in 1992 (the 50th Anniversary of Triumphs in Competition) and the 20th Anniversary of the Kastner Cup. So let?s put ?Best? and ?Significant? together and just do it. It won?t be the major production that was originally conceived, but that?s out of our control. But we can do what we can to Honor Kas? Contribution to the Motorsports World, with the people that are able to be there. It will also be an opportunity for you guys to discuss the future of ?Triumph Focus Events?. It doesn?t have to end at Mid-Ohio. It shouldn?t. But it can be re-invented into something very significant. Kastner Cup II. The FOT and the Kastner Cup has quietly garnered recognition and respect on a global level. We have the best and most significant people in the sport. When we go to Watkins Glen, Road Atlanta, Road America, and Mid-Ohio, the GATE is huge. And usually we have more fun than any other groups. So the 18th Running of the Kastner Cup promises to be the Best and most Significant. We have Clark Lincoln?s Poster and Shirt artwork, plenty of room in the paddock, and our friends at hand. What more could we ask for. See you there, if you can....all of you.

I believe this is a reality in the case of the 4 cyl TR crank. The heavy flywheel is there for smoother running, I don't know if there are other advantages? As you know (i.e. of the books of Kas Kastner), the harmonics of the 6 cyl TR crank are much more detrimental with high levering loads on the flywheel bolts. Maybe the front pulley can be made lighter when the flywheel is lighter. Respectfully yours, Marcel Van Mulders.

I'll start the spit-balling I think and I think that Joe thinks we need to develop a plan to keep us getting together. I'll start with the fear because it can be overcome if we face it now. I ride MS150's. I've done 9 years in a row until this year. Both the Houston/ to Austin and the Dallas to Ft Worth rides were both cancelled this year. When you do these 180 mile rides it is best to be on a team. The Team I began riding with is no more. The founder, lead organizer, and facilitator of the 35 member team passed away a few years ago. It was a tragic, unexpected loss. His "Wheels of Love Team" faltered because there was not a clear path forward. There were some questions as to whether his wife wanted the team to continue and without his leadership the team has just faded. It was built around his leadership.We have had that type of leadership and legacy in the Kastner Cup with Kas and Joe. If we are going to keep this going we need a leader who can organize and facilitate, and inspire participation. That person has to have the time and the wherewithal to do it and the support of the rest of us. We have to want this to continue and we have to show up to keep it going. Observations: Smaller 20 something car events, like the the Hallett and Eagles Canyon K-Cups are fun but for me, larger participation numbers are even more fun. We are getting older and some have and others will retire from racing. Will we continue to have enough racers to keep the K-Cup viable? We are spread out all across America and unlike Europe, it is unrealistic to expect us all to get together once a year. Is there a place we could do that? If the K-Cup is to be "retired" , what will be the focus of the next "cup". Should we consider collecting an All British race group like the Euro's do? We have an obvious turning point after this race. We don't have to try to do the exact same thing going forward. How else could we keep this going? Like I said, spit-balling.

One thing that he said helped was making the flywheel and harmonic damper as close to the same weight as possible. He used some big American car damper. They had trouble making maximum RPM and ran the engine on a dyno with a strobe light on the flywheel and noticed a severe flex to the crank. They increased the damper weight and the vibration was reduced giving close to 1,000 more RPM. The cranks "wiggle" at high RPM. Matching the weight at both ends reduced that. They did blow the engine the next week when giving writers a test ride. I used this theory on my TR4A using a factory crank that I modified and lightened, I used an ATI custom damper and a lightened aluminum flywheel (less than 18 lbs for flywheel, PP and disc) and was able to turn the engine to 7,300. I also used a custom 1/4" plate bolted to the oil pan rail and across to the center main caps. Maybe some one can get more info on this theory.

I am partial to using a front pulley as light and small as possible (no damper) and also a huge fan of light weight flywheels and small diameter clutches for this very reason. The most expensive thing you can do to help your the problem is a super light crankshaft. I recently build a motor for a guy with a custom crank that knocked off 12 lbs and I could tell the difference on the dyno before it ever went in the car, the typical vibrations were gone. I asked the driver after his first session how he liked the motor and the only thing he kept saying was "it's so smooth" over and over, it audibly sounded different on track as well, crazy. The really bad part is when the Harmonic frequency gets transferred to the valve train, then you will have a serious disaster. 4 cylinders are known for this problem and some guys won't even run one on their Dyno and I personally have thrown more flywheels off on the Dyno than I would care to admit and this very problem has forced me to look at the options if for no other reason than to make my life easier. Not looking for work here but I would be willing to build a crank for anyone wanting to take their stuff to the next level but it would cost about $3000.

SVRA will not be the the Covid 19 police when it comes to what is going on in the Paddock. The SVRA team will be using self imposed strict guidelines to protect everyone we come in contact with as a professional courtesy to all our friends and competitors but the track dictates how things work in the Paddock, I suspect by the time the race rolls around things may die down a bit, fingers crossed. I'm looking forward to seeing all of you and for the ones who choose not to come I totally get it and respect your position, just know you will be missed.

I'm guessing it's fiberglass. Good looking car. The FB post says the trailer was recovered but the car is gone. I have often wondered about stolen race cars and why they were stolen. More often that not it seems they are after the trailers and or tools, not so much the car. In this case they kept the car. What do you do? strip it for parts, certainly not show up at a track and race it with another paint job. I don't have anything on my trailer to suggest there is a race car inside. A drag racer friend of mine paints his car number on the roof of the trailer. A thief wouldn't know it and law enforcement can identify it from the air. Very helpful if you have a GPS tracker. jim g -----Original Message----- From: Fot On Behalf Of Barr, Scott via Fot Sent: Friday, May 22, 2020 8:50 AM To: fot at autox.team.net Subject: Re: [Fot] Stolen Spitfire, San Francisco area Wow!

It appears you can spread Covid 19 and not know you are sick. What if you are one of those folks that then go home an give it to your family? As of today there 1.61 million cases in the US with deaths at 95,213 or a death rate 5.9%. Over this weekend we will pass 100,000 dead. Covid is killing people in all age groups, no one should consider themselves ?low risk?. This virus is like playing Russian Roulette with an automatic. It is clear that the US national strategy is to open up and either get a vaccine in 18-24 months or achieve ?Herd Immunity? which requires some 60-70% of the population to have lived through being sick in order to develop antibodies against the virus. The numbers needed to get to Herd Immunity roughly require 200,000,000 Americans to have had the virus. If people die at the current rate of 5.9% then some ?11,000,000 people would perish in getting to Herd Immunity. Even if better treatments and the demise of very high risk people cut the death rate to just 1%, we would see some 2,000,000 people die of Covid. Someone once said that if wishing were so, pigs could fly. You can cross your fingers this going to get better in June in the Midwest but all the indications are quite the opposite. We opened the country in mid May to varying degrees (not right or wrong, just fact) and infection rate numbers and death rates are likely to significantly rise in June. It takes a couple of weeks before people start showing up sick at their locale hospitals. We are all big boys and girls and we get to make our own decisions. I think this decision should be made on sound medical science and fact, not what we would like to have happen. I have a couple of good doctor friends, until they are willing to go back racing after what they are seeing in their hospitals, I will not return to the track as much as I want to. I wish all the very best of luck. Ken -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

In truth the whole pandemic thing has me thinking about my health in general, looking at the long term picture.? Sure, I am diabetic, but it is not to the point of daily blood sugar testing, just every three months or so go in and see the doctor with a quick A1C blood test.? Will I improve, or get worse?? I'll be checking out that "Younger Next Year" book previously mentioned. Of course being only 66 years old now makes me a youngster compared to some on this list. The gist of it has me questioning my goals.? Is it really worth it for me to return Killer to the track, and take on full fledged wheel to wheel vintage racing again, or should I ease off and just put together a nice, peppy streetable driver that can handle an autocross or two?? There's no easy way to objectively measure effort put in versus rewards gained.? It is a question of spirit, of adventure, excitement, a question of following your heart balanced with the real world. I've posted this before in various venues, I really wish I knew who wrote it.? I'm not into motorcycles, but this transcends the hardware, and gets right into it.? Where lays the heart, where lays the soul of an old dinosaur like me? ===== As I watch the Japanese crotch-rockets blasting the circuits, I am suffused with a distilled sense of wonder, and I marvel; these men and women are so skilled, perfect machines riding on perfect machines.? Their bikes are precision instruments built by precision instruments, sold in their multitude to the techno-dazed. About ten years ago, I was out earholing on a norton-racer-road in coastal Marin county (north of San Francisco) on my '75 Commando. Rolled up to a stop sign.? A guy on an old 500cc BSA thumper came around the corner facing me, leaned through the corner, dialed up the wick, and thumped on up the hill.? I shut nort down to listen to the sound of that long-stroke single haul that hill.? I was thrilled; I could feel the sound through the soles of my boots. All these years later, when I remember that sound, that fine sound, I choke, and tears fill my eyes.? As that quiet thump, thump, thump, faded up the hill, me and nort sat and thought of dinosaurs. It was a good day to think about dinosaurs, one of those crisp, perfect Marin autumn days.? Back then, me and my dinosaur could still swat the Japanese flies buzzing around the hills, those primordial crotch-rockets, awesome machines that have come to be so strong, strong enough to eat me and nort for breakfast. These ten years gone, I'm now flogging that British oil-bath around the Rockies.? But the king is dead (long live the king!), and I'm the dinosaur now, breathing the last breath of extinction; fading quietly, thump, thump, thump up that hill.? But I wonder, where went the soul, where went the art, where went the heart?

You want to go racing, I get that, so do I. But keep in mind what you are asking others to do so you may go racing. Dozens of support crew from corner workers, tech inspectors and more will have to travel, most inside a giant metal tube thousands feet in the air for a couple of hours that is packed with others of unknown health status. Then they land and get to ride in a rental car with two or three others to a hotel where they will share a confined space for eight hours or so sucking in the snores of the other occupant. rinse, lather and repeat and head back home. I get that no one is forcing them to go and that each person must make this choice for themselves. I don?t know about the "sky is falling" but casket sales are certainly up this past quarter. Whether or not you think you will get Covid, or you?re not in the high risk group or whatever, we have lost 94,500 souls in the last few months. If you think the numbers are misrepresented then go ahead and chop that number in half? 47, 000 people, in three or four months. It is a real concern and YES, people do die everyday but this is about it being CONTAGIOUS. I.E. You making the choice for others. Being hit by lightning is not contagious.

I wear a mask when requested by the business. I don?t go over and hug folk. I don?t visit retirement homes. if I did, I?d wash up, wear a mask, and social distance as required. I recall a friend died of a bacteria around his heart many years ago, shortly after my dad?s death. The doctors said this particular bug likely came from his garden. In the years since, did I stop gardening? Did I lay awake at night thinking about what I might pick up in my garden and share with family and friends? Dad, on the other hand, had a heart attack after a day of skiing. You never know what?s going to take us. A best friend from high school died of pneumonia late last year as he tried to sleep off, alone, what he thought was a cold. Age 57. Really, look at the numbers. We can?t live in a bubble. Every year, it seems, someone I personally knew has died, long before Covid-19 came along, and, no doubt, it will continue long after. So far, none have passed from Covid-19 that I personally knew, but It could happen. Maybe it will be the guy in my mirror. This is not the pandemic where it?s so bad every family will be touched and it?s ok to leave leave bodies at the curb for pick up. It?s not playing russian roulette to try to get back to some semblance of normalcy. I beg you to not let the early predictions of this virus to lead you to not even admit your ?Russian Roulette with an automatic.? was way off base. And by the way, ?While you are getting through Covid with no problems?... you mean like how I?m unemployed with no prospects because what was supposed to be a short term chance to get our hospitals and emergency services prepared, so there?d be enough beds, masks, and ventilators has gone on well beyond the need? Your scare mongering is going ?to be a real bitch when someone we personally love? faces financial ruin, commits suicide, is victimized by predators, etc. because of the lockdown. How?s it feel to have people?s deaths laid on you like that? I wouldn?t have gone there. I believe you remain way off base, but we can agree to disagree. I only posted a response because I felt compelled to respond so that FOT members have a balance. Never be beaten by a virus! ?Justin > On May 22, 2020, at 1:45 PM, Ken Knight via Fot wrote: > > Well Justin you go for it and good luck to you.

Yes, in fact, some people can consider themselves ?low risk? and no, it?s not like playing Russian Roulette at all. ?And it?s certainly not like playing it with an automatic. If one is elderly, particularly those with underlying issues, sure, they should play it safe. ?And anyone with an underlying issue should weigh the risks and watch out for themselves. ?The rest need to get on with their lives. ?

That ?current rate? is not sustainable so your supposition is not based in reality. ?The curve doesn?t just happen in a day when we cross a threshold, it happens slowly as we reach herd immunity. ?

Yes. ?So enough with the ?russian roulette with an automatic? analogies. ? That?s gross hyperbole, not science. It?s a bad bug, but we go on with life, just as we always have with the various threats that face us every day. What?s the stats for race car drivers getting hurt or killed? ?

It appears you can spread Covid 19 and not know you are sick.? What if you are one of those folks that then go home an give it to your family? ? As of today there 1.61 million cases in the US with deaths at 95,213 or a death rate 5.9%.? Over this weekend we will pass 100,000 dead. ? Covid is killing people in all age groups, no one should consider themselves ?low risk?.? This virus is like playing Russian Roulette with an automatic. ? It is clear that the US national strategy is to open up and either get a vaccine in 18-24 months or achieve ?Herd Immunity? which requires some 60-70% of the population to have lived through being sick in order to develop antibodies against the virus. ? The numbers needed to get to Herd Immunity roughly require 200,000,000 Americans to have had the virus. ? If people die at the current rate of 5.9% then some ?11,000,000 people would perish in getting to Herd Immunity.? Even if better treatments and the demise of very high risk people cut the death rate to just 1%, we would see some 2,000,000 people die of Covid. ? Someone once said that if wishing were so, pigs could fly.? You can cross your fingers this going to get better in June in the Midwest but all the indications are quite the opposite.? We opened the country in mid May to varying degrees (not right or wrong, just fact) and infection rate numbers and death rates are likely to significantly rise in June.? It takes a couple of weeks before people start showing up sick at their locale hospitals. ? We are all big boys and girls and we get to make our own decisions.? I think this decision should be made on sound medical science and fact, not what we would like to have happen. ??I have a couple of good doctor friends, until they are willing to go back racing after what they are seeing in their hospitals, I will not return to the track as much as I want to.?

URL: From sjanzen at me.com Fri May 22 21:02:19 2020 From: sjanzen at me.com (Scott Janzen) Date: Fri, 22 May 2020 23:02:19 -0400 Subject: [Fot] Old Cars Message-ID: Ok, so this is not a Triumph story, but I recently got a 1947 Chevy Fleetmaster in my garage (which means I bought it a year ago, but it?s been sitting in the owner?s garage until now). It?s the oldest vehicle I?ve ever owned, by two years (had a ?49 ford pickup once) and I love working on it. It?s so simple, and plenty of space to get at everything. Plus, this came from the family of the original owner, has been garaged all its life, and while far from pristine, it?s not rusty. Garaged all its life. I haven?t stripped or sheered a bolt yet. So, the highlights - the engine has no oil filter. Just change the oil every 2000 miles, more on dirt roads (says the manual). Lever shocks all around. Vacuum wipers, no turn signals (not sure about brake lights), manually engaged starter solenoid through a floor button. Front wheel bearings are ball bearings!!!. 4.5?x16? wheels, skinny bias plies (with a date code of 1984, definitely due to replace those if I ever go over 25 mph). Right now the brakes are apart, shocks need to go to White Post for a rebuild, gas tank and radiator at the local shop. Here?s a question - the manual calls for straight 20w oil for the engine, 30 in the winter. Should I run 20w, or 10-30? Gear oils - straight 90W is what?s called for. What?s a good non-synthetic? Steering gear calls for ?All Purpose? lubricant - WTH? Having fun in the garage these days!!! -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The heavy outbreak of Corona in Italy was caused by some big events in Northern Italy, the ski holydays, the Bergamo football match and a third one I did forget. It is generally accepted that a virus can spread easily where lots of people are together for some time. On the other hand, a pandemic can turn down, and mostly does so, before herd immunity is reached. The seasonal influenza epidemic comes and goes without reaching herd immunity of 60%. Unfortunately, this corona virus is much more dangerous than the influenza viruses, not because it is more contagious but you are much better off with a flu than with the covid-19 infection. People die from influenza too, but if that happens it is because of complications like bacterial pneumonie and other surinfections (things that doctors can do something about) but this corona virus is killing people on its own by causing pneumonia, vascular damage and so on and even if you are in hospital (intensive care), all the doctors can do is give support and often the patients die and they can do nothing but watch it. Anyway this virus has a big influence on our way of living, we can't deny it and go on as if it would not be there. Organising a big event is very complicated now.

As new it probably did not use detergent motor oil, and a straight 30 in summer would be the correct grade. Over time there is no way to know what was dumped in that crankcase, so a non detergent oil would be a safe bet. If the car came with service records it may shed some light on things. Also, do remember that the rods are splash oiled on a Chevy six of that era, so drive her gently. Full pressure oiling did not happen till 1953 or 1954 ish. If you ever have the engine rebuilt, then a good modern multi grade oil, with high levels of ZDDP, is the way to go, just like our racing TRs. As to the gear box, diff, and steering box. Any good non synthetic gear lube of the appropriate grade will be just fine. Most modern gear oils are 85w90, and that?s OK. The steering box is always an issue as usually, if they are original, they are pretty much guaranteed to leak around every place they can leak, and hence will not hold liquid lubes for long, without a rebuild. The ?All Purpose? thing is curious. It?s possible that they either mean gear oil or grease. I know one of the ?work arounds? that old timers, and some not so old timers use on early Fords if the box wont hold gear lube, is to pack it with wheel bearing grease. It?s still a frequent practice, as getting the steering gear out of these older machines is fiddly at best and downright difficult in most cases. A word about those old drum brakes. If you have a really good brake shop near you, make sure to have the drums trued and have the new shoes arced (matched) to the drums. This will save many headaches in getting the thing to stop without pulling you into the ditch or oncoming traffic. Also on the subject of brakes, if you are going to put in new wheel cylinders, no matter who you get them from, they all come from China, disassemble them and make sure that the seals are proper lubed with a brake assembly lube, and make sure that the hydraulic line port and the bleeder port are actually drilled all the way through. Really, this is a thing. I have had several wheel cylinders from big name ?reputable? manufacturers that have not had the ports properly drilled through the casting, or had the bleeder screw seating surface not be concentric with the threads for the screw. It?s much easier to check them first, than after you have them on the car and all the shoes/linkages attached. Have fun with her, I love the 40?s domestic cars a lot.

As for oil: something this old may require non detergent oil. My old tractors use it. I'm not sure when multi grade detergent oils came out. Probably one of our bunch would know. Or I can contact a local oil rep and find out. I'd probably stick with 30w in the summer. And park it in the winter! Great car. Enjoy it. And bear in mind: it won't handle like the white car in the background!

It?s the oldest vehicle I?ve ever owned, by two years (had a ?49 ford pickup once) and I love working on it. It?s so simple, and plenty of space to get at everything. Plus, this came from the family of the original owner, has been garaged all its life, and while far from pristine, it?s not rusty. Garaged all its life. I haven?t stripped or sheered a bolt yet. So, the highlights - the engine has no oil filter. Just change the oil every 2000 miles, more on dirt roads (says the manual). Lever shocks all around. Vacuum wipers, no turn signals (not sure about brake lights), manually engaged starter solenoid through a floor button. Front wheel bearings are ball bearings!!!. 4.5?x16? wheels, skinny bias plies (with a date code of 1984, definitely due to replace those if I ever go over 25 mph). Right now the brakes are apart, shocks need to go to White Post for a rebuild, gas tank and radiator at the local shop. Here?s a question - the manual calls for straight 20w oil for the engine, 30 in the winter. Should I run 20w, or 10-30? Gear oils - straight 90W is what?s called for. What?s a good non-synthetic? Steering gear calls for ?All Purpose? lubricant - WTH? Having fun in the garage these days!!!

My racing involvement spans four decades with many organizations, and my experiences with SVRA has been exceptional from everyone I have had the pleasure to be in contact with. SVRA prescribes meticulous directives and protocol to provide maximum safety for it's members and competitors. With a few exceptions, racing is basically a money losing proposition for most of us. Whether your pockets are deep, or you need to exercise prudence over financial resources, racing is a luxury. it is not an essential activity of well being. It provides no homeostatic need other than to actualize a passion, which, I will agree, does keep many of us sane. Now, unfortunately, each of us needs to make their own decision on whether to continue this pleasure under the guise of something that could potentially make one terminally ill or be a catalyst to others. I do not wish to engage in a dialogue of opinion and personal discernment .I do not believe there is a right or wrong answer, SVRA has taken extraordinary actions to assure personal safety, and I applaud their endeavor. Yet, I have to ask myself, is the risk worth the reward for me? I have looked forward to participating in the Mid-Ohio/Kastner event, for the past several months, particularly since racing at Mid-Ohio has been on my bucket list for over 40 years. Regretfully, I have made the decision to suspend further participation until the current health situation has some positive resolve. To quote Steve McQeen "Life is racing, the rest is just waiting." For myself, it is time to wait. I hope the wait is not too long. Lastly, this is a passionate debate, and there appears to be an atmosphere of rancor among a few of the postings. May I suggest that before one presses the send button, that they wait overnight and carefully re-read what has been written. We can disagree, but a little civility might be exercised. Zeal and anger can be a volatile combination. As grandma said, "you catch more bee's with honey than vinegar" After all, this post is called "Friends of Triumph". ---------------------------------------- From: "Ken Knight via Fot" Sent: Friday, May 22, 2020 7:56 PM To: "J Wagner via Fot" Subject: Re: [Fot] To Consider Before you Race Well then all is going to just fine and you this will magically go away.

I recall a friend died of a bacteria around his heart many years ago, shortly after my dad's death. The doctors said this particular bug likely came from his garden. In the years since, did I stop gardening? Did I lay awake at night thinking about what I might pick up in my garden and share with family and friends? Dad, on the other hand, had a heart attack after a day of skiing. You never know what's going to take us. A best friend from high school died of pneumonia late last year as he tried to sleep off, alone, what he thought was a cold. Age 57. Really, look at the numbers. We can't live in a bubble. Every year, it seems, someone I personally knew has died, long before Covid-19 came along, and, no doubt, it will continue long after. So far, none have passed from Covid-19 that I personally knew, but It could happen. Maybe it will be the guy in my mirror. This is not the pandemic where it's so bad every family will be touched and it's ok to leave leave bodies at the curb for pick up. It's not playing russian roulette to try to get back to some semblance of normalcy. I beg you to not let the early predictions of this virus to lead you to not even admit your "Russian Roulette with an automatic." was way off base. And by the way, "While you are getting through Covid with no problems"... you mean like how I'm unemployed with no prospects because what was supposed to be a short term chance to get our hospitals and emergency services prepared, so there'd be enough beds, masks, and ventilators has gone on well beyond the need? Your scare mongering is going "to be a real bitch when someone we personally love" faces financial ruin, commits suicide, is victimized by predators, etc. because of the lockdown. How's it feel to have people's deaths laid on you like that? I wouldn't have gone there. I believe you remain way off base, but we can agree to disagree.

"....Covid is killing people in all age groups, no one should consider themselves 'low risk'. This virus is like playing Russian Roulette with an automatic...." That describes the Covid-19 that the early models were describing, but those models were wrong and have been discredited. Yes, in fact, some people can consider themselves "low risk" and no, it's not like playing Russian Roulette at all. And it's certainly not like playing it with an automatic. If one is elderly, particularly those with underlying issues, sure, they should play it safe. And anyone with an underlying issue should weigh the risks and watch out for themselves. The rest need to get on with their lives. The flu didn't stop vintage racing. "If people die at the current rate of 5.9% then...." That "current rate" is not sustainable so your supposition is not based in reality. The curve doesn't just happen in a day when we cross a threshold, it happens slowly as we reach herd immunity. And weather is proving to be significant as the southern hemisphere faces their fall and numbers are rising there. We're heading into our Summer! Let's all take a reality pill here. You said, "We are all big boys and girls and we get to make our own decisions. I think this decision should be made on sound medical science and fact, not what we would like to have happen. " Yes. So enough with the "russian roulette with an automatic" analogies. That's gross hyperbole, not science. It's a bad bug, but we go on with life, just as we always have with the various threats that face us every day. What's the stats for race car drivers getting hurt or killed? What's the stats of sports fans being hit by lightening? What's the stats on dying from pneumonia? Car accidents? Going to an ATM late at night? Yet we all get on with our lives. -Justin On May 22, 2020, at 10:26 AM, Kenneth Knight via Fot wrote: The CDC just announced today that 35% of Covid cases are asymptomatic. It appears you can spread Covid 19 and not know you are sick. What if you are one of those folks that then go home an give it to your family? As of today there 1.61 million cases in the US with deaths at 95,213 or a death rate 5.9%. Over this weekend we will pass 100,000 dead. Covid is killing people in all age groups, no one should consider themselves 'low risk'. This virus is like playing Russian Roulette with an automatic. It is clear that the US national strategy is to open up and either get a vaccine in 18-24 months or achieve "Herd Immunity" which requires some 60-70% of the population to have lived through being sick in order to develop antibodies against the virus. The numbers needed to get to Herd Immunity roughly require 200,000,000 Americans to have had the virus. If people die at the current rate of 5.9% then some ?11,000,000 people would perish in getting to Herd Immunity. Even if better treatments and the demise of very high risk people cut the death rate to just 1%, we would see some 2,000,000 people die of Covid. Someone once said that if wishing were so, pigs could fly. You can cross your fingers this going to get better in June in the Midwest but all the indications are quite the opposite. We opened the country in mid May to varying degrees (not right or wrong, just fact) and infection rate numbers and death rates are likely to significantly rise in June. It takes a couple of weeks before people start showing up sick at their locale hospitals. We are all big boys and girls and we get to make our own decisions. I think this decision should be made on sound medical science and fact, not what we would like to have happen. I have a couple of good doctor friends, until they are willing to go back racing after what they are seeing in their hospitals, I will not return to the track as much as I want to. I wish all the very best of luck.

As many of you pointed out, I had the oil weights reversed winter and summer, so summer, 30w, winter 20w, though the manual says I can probably continue using 20W all summer. The oiling system is definitely splash at low speeds, with ?dippers? attached to each connecting rod big end that scoop up some oil and direct it at the rod bearings. At higher speeds, there?s a pipe and nozzles off the oil galley that aim oil at the dippers to increase the flow - the manual has directions on aiming the nozzles and apparently there?s a special ?target? jig where one can adjust the nozzles to hit the target, with dire consequences if they aren?t aimed right. Of course, the oil gauge only goes from 0-30 psi, so we have a low pressure system here. Steering - I re-read the paragraph and it starts with ?this is filled at the factory with a special all season gear lube and, to paraphrase ?you shouldn?t need to mess with it". After 73 years, however, I?m going to check. It also says ?use a lube that will not ?channel? at low temps or cause ?hard steering?. I?ll try 90W and see what happens. You are correct about pulling the steering box - the directions start with ?remove the steering wheel? and go on from there. However, steering is quite loose and there are three separate lash adjustments, according to the manual, so it?s probably best done on a bench. Brakes - the wheel and master cylinders were surprisingly good, so I got rebuild kits, which look to be USA made. While I?m boring you guys and gals with all this non-Triumph stuff, the manual has four pages on cleaning the upholstery, including categories for battery acids, blood, candy, chewing gum, paint and lacquer, fruits, grease and oil, ice cream, writing ink, iron rust, lipstick, tar and water spots. Solvents for cleaning include benzene, ether, sodium bifluoride ( I always have that around), carbon tetrachloride, and ammonia. On May 23, 2020, at 8:36 AM, Terry Stetler via Fot wrote: If I may, I have lots of time under the hood of vehicles of this vintage. As new it probably did not use detergent motor oil, and a straight 30 in summer would be the correct grade. Over time there is no way to know what was dumped in that crankcase, so a non detergent oil would be a safe bet. If the car came with service records it may shed some light on things. Also, do remember that the rods are splash oiled on a Chevy six of that era, so drive her gently. Full pressure oiling did not happen till 1953 or 1954 ish. If you ever have the engine rebuilt, then a good modern multi grade oil, with high levels of ZDDP, is the way to go, just like our racing TRs. As to the gear box, diff, and steering box. Any good non synthetic gear lube of the appropriate grade will be just fine. Most modern gear oils are 85w90, and that?s OK. The steering box is always an issue as usually, if they are original, they are pretty much guaranteed to leak around every place they can leak, and hence will not hold liquid lubes for long, without a rebuild. The ?All Purpose? thing is curious. It?s possible that they either mean gear oil or grease. I know one of the ?work arounds? that old timers, and some not so old timers use on early Fords if the box wont hold gear lube, is to pack it with wheel bearing grease. It?s still a frequent practice, as getting the steering gear out of these older machines is fiddly at best and downright difficult in most cases. A word about those old drum brakes. If you have a really good brake shop near you, make sure to have the drums trued and have the new shoes arced (matched) to the drums. This will save many headaches in getting the thing to stop without pulling you into the ditch or oncoming traffic. Also on the subject of brakes, if you are going to put in new wheel cylinders, no matter who you get them from, they all come from China, disassemble them and make sure that the seals are proper lubed with a brake assembly lube, and make sure that the hydraulic line port and the bleeder port are actually drilled all the way through. Really, this is a thing. I have had several wheel cylinders from big name ?reputable? manufacturers that have not had the ports properly drilled through the casting, or had the bleeder screw seating surface not be concentric with the threads for the screw. It?s much easier to check them first, than after you have them on the car and all the shoes/linkages attached. Have fun with her, I love the 40?s domestic cars a lot.

Gear oil will probably leak past the seals and grease will ?channel.? I think that means the moving parts will move the grease out of the way and not allow it to lube properly.

At higher speeds, there?s a pipe and nozzles off the oil galley that aim oil at the dippers to increase the flow - the manual has directions on aiming the nozzles and apparently there?s a special ?target? jig where one can adjust the nozzles to hit the target, with dire consequences if they aren?t aimed right. Of course, the oil gauge only goes from 0-30 psi, so we have a low pressure system here. > > Steering - I re-read the paragraph and it starts with ?this is filled at the factory with a special all season gear lube and, to paraphrase ?you shouldn?t need to mess with it". After 73 years, however, I?m going to check. It also says ?use a lube that will not ?channel? at low temps or cause ?hard steering?. I?ll try 90W and see what happens. You are correct about pulling the steering box - the directions start with ?remove the steering wheel? and go on from there. However, steering is quite loose and there are three separate lash adjustments, according to the manual, so it?s probably best done on a bench. > > Brakes - the wheel and master cylinders were surprisingly good, so I got rebuild kits, which look to be USA made. > > While I?m boring you guys and gals with all this non-Triumph stuff, the manual has four pages on cleaning the upholstery, including categories for battery acids, blood, candy, chewing gum, paint and lacquer, fruits, grease and oil, ice cream, writing ink, iron rust, lipstick, tar and water spots.

Any good non synthetic gear lube of the appropriate grade will be just fine. Most modern gear oils are 85w90, and that?s OK. The steering box is always an issue as usually, if they are original, they are pretty much guaranteed to leak around every place they can leak, and hence will not hold liquid lubes for long, without a rebuild. The ?All Purpose? thing is curious. It?s possible that they either mean gear oil or grease. I know one of the ?work arounds? that old timers, and some not so old timers use on early Fords if the box wont hold gear lube, is to pack it with wheel bearing grease.

If you have a really good brake shop near you, make sure to have the drums trued and have the new shoes arced (matched) to the drums. This will save many headaches in getting the thing to stop without pulling you into the ditch or oncoming traffic. Also on the subject of brakes, if you are going to put in new wheel cylinders, no matter who you get them from, they all come from China, disassemble them and make sure that the seals are proper lubed with a brake assembly lube, and make sure that the hydraulic line port and the bleeder port are actually drilled all the way through. Really, this is a thing.

As a member of SVRA for just four years, and minimal events participated in, perhaps I am not the most qualified to critique the issue of whether or not to be racing during this unsettling period. My racing involvement spans four decades with many organizations, and my experiences with SVRA has been exceptional from everyone I have had the pleasure to be in contact with. SVRA prescribes meticulous directives and protocol to provide maximum safety for it's members and competitors. With a few exceptions, racing is basically a money losing proposition for most of us. Whether your pockets are deep, or you need to exercise prudence over financial resources, racing is a luxury. it is not an essential activity of well being. It provides no homeostatic need other than to actualize a passion, which, I will agree, does keep many of us sane. Now, unfortunately, each of us needs to make their own decision on whether to continue this pleasure under the guise of something that could potentially make one terminally ill or be a catalyst to others. I do not wish to engage in a dialogue of opinion and personal discernment.I do not believe there is a right or wrong answer. SVRA has taken extraordinary actions to assure personal safety, and I applaud their endeavor. Yet, I have to ask myself, is the risk worth the reward for me? I have looked forward to participating in the Mid-Ohio/Kastner event, for the past several months, particularly since racing at Mid-Ohio has been on my bucket list for over 40 years. Regretfully, I have made the decision to suspend further participation until the current health situation has some positive resolve. To quote Steve McQeen "Life is racing, the rest is just waiting." For myself, it is time to wait. I hope the wait is not too long. Lastly, this has been is a passionate debate, and there appears to be an atmosphere of apoplectic rancor among a few of the postings. May I suggest that before one presses the send button, that they wait overnight and carefully re-read what has been written. We can disagree, but a little civility might be exercised. Zeal and anger can be a volatile combination. As grandma said, "you catch more bee's with sugar than vinegar." After all, this post site is called "Friends of Triumph". -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

You say, what has that got to do with sports cars? Well I will tell you. I was planning to go to the races at Watkins Glen in 1952 and planned to sleep overnight before the race. As I had been to the race in 1951 and wanted to do things different this time. I scouted up some metal rods from the oil field, that we lived in, and bent them into hoops to make a covered wagon top on the Cheve. So off my buddy and I went off to the race. You race historians will remember that the race in 1952 was the last race through town and the race was stopped after a child was hit and killed on Main Street. So the sleeping facility worked well but the race viewing turned out to be a bust. Sent from Mail for Windows 10 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Engines of the time used babbitted bearings, which were sealed in place with paraffin-soaked wicking and similar materials that became carbonized as the hot metal was poured.? Detergents dislodged all that carbonized material and, oops!, what little oil pressure such engines had went away. Detergents were introduced when manufacturers upgraded to shell bearings (which were greatly refined during the war years in aircraft engines).? Detergents tended to keep particles suspended in the oil, which minimized the chance of them becoming embedded in shell bearings, which was not so much a problem with babbitt metal.? The tin in babbitt metal was soft enough (and thick enough) for them to get pounded down so they didn't stick up much from the surface, thus minimizing the damage to often unhardened crankshafts.? The layer of soft metal in shell bearings is very thin, so the prospect of something getting stuck in them and being available to wear the crank required rethinking the oils used. I suspect that the changeover to detergents was accompanied by the same sorts of problems that the changeover to synthetics presented.? If the engine is designed for the new oils, no problem.? If it wasn't, well, /caveat emptor /(my father, IIRC, blew up two engines in his `46 Plymouth in the space of eight months around the time detergents became available).? In the late `70s, I remember reading some horror stories about engines converted to full synthetics that burned bearings because the synthetics ran out of the bearings a lot more quickly, with an attendant loss of oil pressure.? Around the same time, I worked with a guy who raced snowmobiles along with his brother.? He thought he'd try Mobil1, thinking he'd get another horsepower or so.? First time out, burned a bearing.? But, his engine had some hours on it, so they tried it in his brother's sled the next weekend, which had a fresh engine.? Burned a bearing.? Engines designed for the stuff ultimately had tighter clearances and higher-volume pumps.? Still remember some nitwit Navy lieutenant screaming at me that "jet engines used synthetics," so why couldn't he use it in his Toyota Celica (this after complaining about noisy operation only after he converted to Arco Graphite, which at the time was something like 0W-15... in Florida, in the summertime--its hot viscosity was less than water).? Trying patiently to explain that it's fine if it's designed for that oil and pointing to the owner's manual just didn't work....

He tried to brainwash me on Fords too, but I rebelled and got a TR250 rather than a Mustang (good move right?). Anyway, he had a 1926 Model T which he got when I was about 8 years old and I inherited it when he stopped driving. I naturally gravitated to the performance end of the Model T hobby. Most people our age think sports cars and hotrodding started after WWII, but the same thing happened when the doughboys came back fror WWI. They wanted cars like they had seen in Europe. The Model T was the natural platform, since they were so abundant. I call my other one my "Poor Man's Bugatti" (see photo). It was built in 1922 on a junked 1914 roadster chassis. It was fitted with a mail order boattail body. It has several performance upgrades which were available in the period, e.g. full pressure oiling, RAJO overhead valve conversion, 2 speed rear axle (also a J-type overdrive not available in '22). I plan to build another speedster. I've got another speedster body and a Model T motor with a SOC head. There were a lot of speed parts available for those cars. I wouldn't put to much weight on what the manual says for lubrication. Most lubricants today are better than anything available then. I run straight 30w or 10w-30 in the '26 which is still running with splash oiling. You want the oil to be fairly thin to get into the bearings. The Model T manual calls for 600w oil in the rearend, but there is some debate about how oils were designated back then (before SAE standards).

It is all eventually filtered (after it flow around enough times). ?- Larry Young ? _______________________________________________ fot at autox.team.net http://www.fot-racing.com Donate: http://www.team.net/donate.html Archive: http://autox.team.net/archive http://www.team.net/pipermail/fot Unsubscribe/Manage: http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/fot/billdentin at aol.com _______________________________________________ fot at autox.team.net http://www.fot-racing.com Donate: http://www.team.net/donate.html Archive: http://autox.team.net/archive http://www.team.net/pipermail/fot Unsubscribe/Manage: http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/fot/fubog1 at aol.com ? _______________________________________________ fot at autox.team.net http://www.fot-racing.com Donate: http://www.team.net/donate.html Archive: http://autox.team.net/archive http://www.team.net/pipermail/fot Unsubscribe/Manage: http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/fot/triumphsix at yahoo.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Image removed by sender. CSRG's "Contact Patch" Greetings! David Love Vintage Races: July 10-12 Image removed by sender. Nine Frequently Asked Questions 1) What are the chances of running? I'm not the betting kind, but I would say 50/50. A few days ago, the Sonoma County Health officer, Dr. Sundari Mase, said that, assuming the community spread doesn't climb to 30% (currently at 20%), there may be a futher easing of restrictions. To say things are in a state of flux would be an understatement. 2) Is there a Late Entry Fee?: No 3) What procedural changes will there be?: Our goal is to have the three major contact areas for entrants & crews: Will Call, Tech & Registration handled digitally. This is a big task, but it's one we will continue to pursue even after the virus subsides. We are considering using the ticket booths at the Main Gate & at the John Cardinale Media Center instead of the "open room" approach of the past. 4) Will there be changes to the Paddock?: Yes. The plan will be to do a more detailed marking of paddock spaces than we have in the past so as to ensure some degree of social distancing. 5) Will Crews be limited?: Yes, the number TBD. 6) Are spectators allowed?: No 7) Are Face Masks mandatory?: Absolutely yes. If you feel uncomfortable about it, you will just have to gut it out. 8) Saturday night dinner & Mechanical Picnic?: Cancelled 9) When can one enter?: After June 12 via MotorsportReg We all know that the ultimate responsibility falls on every person in the paddock. Simply put, if you are not careful, others may pay for it. If you feel you can not comply with the precautions laid out by both CSRG & the track, that's your choice, but we would then suggest you not enter the event. We hope everything comes together & we can hold a safe, fun event. ============================================== Helmets for 2020 Image removed by sender. Image removed by sender. Photo: Nat Lockwood Image removed by sender. There will be a new helmet standard in 2020--SA2020. Helmets to the new standard will be available late in the year. CSRG will accept SA2010 helmets (& obviously SA2015) through 2020 & probably 2021, depending upon 1) product availabilty & 2) what other clubs (particularly the SCCA) decide to accept. There are significant improvements in the new designs and, since it is your brain we're talking about, maybe upgrading is a good idea. ============================================== Mentoring Please be aware that you may be asked to help mentor a new CSRG member. If you are, we ask that you please take the task seriously & make a concerted effort to help the individual get acclimated to the club & its events. It can be a little daunting for newcomers, so any help or guidance you can provide will be beneficial. Thank you in advance! ============================================== 2020 CSRG Race Schedule Spring Races at Thunderhill Thunderhill 3 Mile Cancelled David Love Vintage Races Sonoma Raceway July 10-12 17th Annual Charity Challenge Sonoma Raceway Oct. 2-4 Season Finale & Awards Dinner at Thunderhill Thunderhill 3 Mile Oct. 30-Nov. 1 ============================================== The following is a brief list of some of the infractions that have occurred over the last few seasons. We respectfully ask that you please read them & take them to heart. Driver Conduct (A compilation of the most common infractions) * If for any reason you are late to the grid or fail to leave the grid with the pack, you may not regain your starting position. You will start from the back. * If the pace car lights are flashing, you must follow under all circumstances. (e.g., bringing group through pit lane, controlling group for multiple laps, etc.) * When behind the pace car, keep pace with the cars around you to avoid holding up the group. * Tire scrubbing is not allowed when cars are side-by-side. * Check your gauges twice a lap. Help prevent lost fluids and lost track-time. * The safest way to pass is with a point-by. Give a point-by as often as you can. (Passing is detailed on Page 1 of the CSRG Driver Handbook) * If you see a RED flag, immediately slow and check your mirrors. Come to a complete stop as soon as you can do so safely, and within sight of a flag stand. Stopped on a red flag you may turn off your engine, but do not remove your seatbelts, helmet, or any other safety gear. Await flagger signal to continue. * If you see a BLUE & YELLOW flag, check your mirrors and be aware that you are about to be passed. You do not need to lift or move over, just be aware that there is a faster car approaching. * If you deviate (spin, four wheels off, pass under yellow, contact) or if you see a standing black flag (sometimes accompanied by a finger point or a number board) you must report to the Black Flag station immediately. * Do not cross the track unless you have clear direction by a course marshal to do so. For example, at Sonoma if you spin exiting T11 and end up in the middle, you may not cross into the pit lane until directed to do so. * Altercations both verbal and physical should be avoided at all costs. Report any altercations to the Race Director or a CSRG Board Member immediately. Do not try to resolve the situation yourself.

The extra low end grunt is so much fun! The basic engine block is the same, so mounting is a non issue. The GT6 sump will need a little massaging with a hammer to clear the longer crank throws of the 2.5L. I've als heard that aftermarket rods will reduce the need to modify the sump for clearance, but can't verify first hand. If you retain the TR6 intake manifold, you'll have bonnet clearance issues. A GT6+ or MK3 intake will bolt to the wide port TR6 head without issue. If you plan to rev it much, you will want to look into 1.75" carbs for sure. The stock gearbox might not like the extra torque, going to a TR6 gearbox is highly recommended. Not that hard to fit. You'll need to fab up a rear mounting bracket, bend the clutch arm to clear the frame, and have a custom driveshaft made.

If you feel uncomfortable about it, you will just have to gut it out. 8) Saturday night dinner & Mechanical Picnic?: Cancelled 9) When can one enter?: After June 12 via MotorsportReg We all know that the ultimate responsibility falls on every person in the paddock. Simply put, if you are not careful, others may pay for it. If you feel you can not comply with the precautions laid out by both CSRG & the track, that's your choice, but we would then suggest you not enter the event. We hope everything comes together & we can hold a safe, fun event. ============================================== Helmets for 2020 Image removed by sender. Image removed by sender. Photo: Nat Lockwood Image removed by sender. There will be a new helmet standard in 2020--SA2020. Helmets to the new standard will be available late in the year. CSRG will accept SA2010 helmets (& obviously SA2015) through 2020 & probably 2021, depending upon 1) product availabilty & 2) what other clubs (particularly the SCCA) decide to accept. There are significant improvements in the new designs and, since it is your brain we're talking about, maybe upgrading is a good idea. ============================================== Mentoring Please be aware that you may be asked to help mentor a new CSRG member. If you are, we ask that you please take the task seriously & make a concerted effort to help the individual get acclimated to the club & its events. It can be a little daunting for newcomers, so any help or guidance you can provide will be beneficial. Thank you in advance! ============================================== 2020 CSRG Race Schedule Spring Races at Thunderhill Thunderhill 3 Mile Cancelled David Love Vintage Races Sonoma Raceway July 10-12 17th Annual Charity Challenge Sonoma Raceway Oct. 2-4 Season Finale & Awards Dinner at Thunderhill Thunderhill 3 Mile Oct. 30-Nov. 1 ============================================== The following is a brief list of some of the infractions that have occurred over the last few seasons. We respectfully ask that you please read them & take them to heart. Driver Conduct (A compilation of the most common infractions) * If for any reason you are late to the grid or fail to leave the grid with the pack, you may not regain your starting position. You will start from the back. * If the pace car lights are flashing, you must follow under all circumstances. (e.g., bringing group through pit lane, controlling group for multiple laps, etc.) * When behind the pace car, keep pace with the cars around you to avoid holding up the group. * Tire scrubbing is not allowed when cars are side-by-side. * Check your gauges twice a lap. Help prevent lost fluids and lost track-time. * The safest way to pass is with a point-by. Give a point-by as often as you can. (Passing is detailed on Page 1 of the CSRG Driver Handbook) * If you see a RED flag, immediately slow and check your mirrors. Come to a complete stop as soon as you can do so safely, and within sight of a flag stand. Stopped on a red flag you may turn off your engine, but do not remove your seatbelts, helmet, or any other safety gear. Await flagger signal to continue. * If you see a BLUE & YELLOW flag, check your mirrors and be aware that you are about to be passed. You do not need to lift or move over, just be aware that there is a faster car approaching. * If you deviate (spin, four wheels off, pass under yellow, contact) or if you see a standing black flag (sometimes accompanied by a finger point or a number board) you must report to the Black Flag station immediately. * Do not cross the track unless you have clear direction by a course marshal to do so. For example, at Sonoma if you spin exiting T11 and end up in the middle, you may not cross into the pit lane until directed to do so. * Altercations both verbal and physical should be avoided at all costs. Report any altercations to the Race Director or a CSRG Board Member immediately. Do not try to resolve the situation yourself.

As already stated use the GT6 sump with some mild modification.? I also use the TR6 gearbox with a simple rear gearbox bracket to mount the stock TR6 mount. Driveshaft is a sliding spline yoke MGB shaft with GT6 flanges. The TR6 gearbox flange is simply re-drilled to accept the GT6 flange. Due to the u-joint size I do not recommend dumping the clutch to do burnouts. Good luck!Brian Dennis On Tuesday, May 26, 2020, 12:52:20 PM EDT, Dennis wrote: Does anyone have experience with installing anTR6 drive train into a GT6??

David Love Vintage Races: July 10-12 [Image removed by sender.] Nine Frequently Asked Questions 1) What are the chances of running? I'm not the betting kind, but I would say 50/50. A few days ago, the Sonoma County Health officer, Dr. Sundari Mase, said that, assuming the community spread doesn't climb to 30% (currently at 20%), there may be a futher easing of restrictions. To say things are in a state of flux would be an understatement. 2) Is there a Late Entry Fee?: No 3) What procedural changes will there be?: Our goal is to have the three major contact areas for entrants & crews: Will Call, Tech & Registration handled digitally. This is a big task, but it's one we will continue to pursue even after the virus subsides. We are considering using the ticket booths at the Main Gate & at the John Cardinale Media Center instead of the "open room" approach of the past. 4) Will there be changes to the Paddock?: Yes. The plan will be to do a more detailed marking of paddock spaces than we have in the past so as to ensure some degree of social distancing. 5) Will Crews be limited?: Yes, the number TBD. 6) Are spectators allowed?: No 7) Are Face Masks mandatory?: Absolutely yes. If you feel uncomfortable about it, you will just have to gut it out. 8) Saturday night dinner & Mechanical Picnic?: Cancelled 9) When can one enter?: After June 12 via MotorsportReg We all know that the ultimate responsibility falls on every person in the paddock. Simply put, if you are not careful, others may pay for it. If you feel you can not comply with the precautions laid out by both CSRG & the track, that's your choice, but we would then suggest you not enter the event. We hope everything comes together & we can hold a safe, fun event. ============================================== Helmets for 2020 [Image removed by sender.] Photo: Nat Lockwood There will be a new helmet standard in 2020--SA2020. Helmets to the new standard will be available late in the year. CSRG will accept SA2010 helmets (& obviously SA2015) through 2020 & probably 2021, depending upon 1) product availabilty & 2) what other clubs (particularly the SCCA) decide to accept. There are significant improvements in the new designs and, since it is your brain we're talking about, maybe upgrading is a good idea. ============================================== Mentoring Please be aware that you may be asked to help mentor a new CSRG member. If you are, we ask that you please take the task seriously & make a concerted effort to help the individual get acclimated to the club & its events. It can be a little daunting for newcomers, so any help or guidance you can provide will be beneficial. Thank you in advance! ============================================== 2020 CSRG Race Schedule Spring Races at Thunderhill Thunderhill 3 Mile Cancelled David Love Vintage Races Sonoma Raceway July 10-12 17th Annual Charity Challenge Sonoma Raceway Oct. 2-4 Season Finale & Awards Dinner at Thunderhill Thunderhill 3 Mile Oct. 30-Nov. 1 ============================================== The following is a brief list of some of the infractions that have occurred over the last few seasons. We respectfully ask that you please read them & take them to heart. Driver Conduct (A compilation of the most common infractions) * If for any reason you are late to the grid or fail to leave the grid with the pack, you may not regain your starting position. You will start from the back. * If the pace car lights are flashing, you must follow under all circumstances. (e.g., bringing group through pit lane, controlling group for multiple laps, etc.) * When behind the pace car, keep pace with the cars around you to avoid holding up the group. * Tire scrubbing is not allowed when cars are side-by-side. * Check your gauges twice a lap. Help prevent lost fluids and lost track-time. * The safest way to pass is with a point-by. Give a point-by as often as you can. (Passing is detailed on Page 1 of the CSRG Driver Handbook) * If you see a RED flag, immediately slow and check your mirrors. Come to a complete stop as soon as you can do so safely, and within sight of a flag stand. Stopped on a red flag you may turn off your engine, but do not remove your seatbelts, helmet, or any other safety gear. Await flagger signal to continue. * If you see a BLUE & YELLOW flag, check your mirrors and be aware that you are about to be passed. You do not need to lift or move over, just be aware that there is a faster car approaching. * If you deviate (spin, four wheels off, pass under yellow, contact) or if you see a standing black flag (sometimes accompanied by a finger point or a number board) you must report to the Black Flag station immediately. * Do not cross the track unless you have clear direction by a course marshal to do so. For example, at Sonoma if you spin exiting T11 and end up in the middle, you may not cross into the pit lane until directed to do so. * Altercations both verbal and physical should be avoided at all costs. Report any altercations to the Race Director or a CSRG Board Member immediately. Do not try to resolve the situation yourself.

They rode with me to my racing trips until I no longer had a cassette player in my tow vehicle. What a great group of guys who added to the weekend fun. It is always surprising to learn of someone's talent. You can't see the harmonica in the group photo that John was playing when not singing also. After Bill's untimely death I don't believe this happened anymore.

Thank you very much for sharing these songs, Tony. They are absolutely wonderful. What a pleasure to hear them. Who wrote the lyrics? Real treasures. Really nice and smooth guitar too. Hoagy Carmichael wrote Georgia, a great modern/classic. This arrangement, with appropriate lyrics is very enjoyable. Again, thanks for sharing these. I will indeed download them and include them in my shuffled music play list. When I was a kid attending Catholic school near Cleveland, Ohio, even the nuns knew of Hoagy Carmichael, but I didn't at the time. They always mentioned him when I was introduced to them. I wish I had become involved in racing Triumphs a few years earlier. I would have so enjoyed seeing and hearing these guys play during a race weekend. I'm sure that knowing Jack just a little would have been really sweet too. "Porsches aren't allowed in heaven".

I'm looking for some help in this planning stuff. I'm trying to figure out paddock space and other things for the race weekend. With all the Covid-19 stuff going on I really don't have a handle on how many people are planning on showing up. I am asking that if you have registered for the race with SVRA and you are not planning on attending could you please shoot me an email direct at trmarty at hotmail.com and let me know? If you have already notified me no need to do it again. I don't want to turn this into an on line discussion about all the reasons for or against, just drop me a line so I can accommodate those that are coming in the best possible way. I am still hoping to be able to give some meaningful updates in the next couple of weeks but so far the track has refused to comment to me. SVRA sent out that well thought out reply a week or so ago that I forwarded to you and I expect some additional details from them shortly.

First, what they were offering to do (for a fee no doubt) was to help small businesses with submitting the PPP SBA loan application to cover payroll costs during the Covid crisis. My company submitted this application when it first came out and it was less than an hours work. Very simple and straight forward, if you can manage your payroll the application is a snap. It is a waste of money to have these guys 'help' you. Second, I don't mind if a racing organization tries to hook us up with a partner that supplies something related to our cars and racing as long as they inform us that they give our emails to these companies. By informing us, I don't mean hiding the 'opt out' button in the fine print where it is easy to miss. Given that SVRA is marketing in this fashion I can only assume that money is the issue. A bit sad I think. Ken -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Van: "fot" Aan: "fot" Cc: "Joe Flower II" Verzonden: Vrijdag 1 mei 2020 00:29:19 Onderwerp: [Fot] Moldex Crankshaft I ordered a Triumph TR4 billet crankshaft from Moldex by phone from Joe Flowers in June 2017. I received it in September 2017. At my next engine rebuild, in March of 2019, I installed the crank in the prepared engine block. It would not completely rotate as the counterweight hit the engine block. The counterweights had not been completely machined. I returned the crank to Moldex after a phone call to Joe Flower to discuss the problem. In about 2-1/2 weeks I received the crank back. I finished the engine rebuild, took the engine off the engine stand and proceeded to bolt the flywheel on. Only three of the four tapped holes in the crank were completely tapped. The fourth had about 2 or 3 threads and that is all. We broke a tap off in the hole trying to manually tap it through. I again called Joe, disassembled the engine, and shipped the crank back to Moldex for completion. I received it back again in about 2-1/2 weeks. Reassembled the engine and raced in three weekends in 2019, no problems. I called Joe in April 2019 and asked to be reimbursed for the $130 in shipping costs to ship the crank back to him for completion, twice. Since April 2019 I have called about 10 times to ask to recover the shipping costs. Twice I was told a check had been sent. I have not received the $130 as of this date.

The thought of doing things differently and following a well run business model that would include something like this can run counter to some guys vintage club DNA. Through the wrong filter, something with honorable intentions like this offer can be seen as wrong-minded. On a bad day the sun doesn't ever shine. To get the right filter we have to consciously change the lens. In our pre-covid world tracks were already struggling with generating enough revenue to make business sense. Now the future is even more scary. Any track, or any organization that wants to be in the business of promoting events has a huge challenge in front of them post pandemic. They have to try new and different things, they have to take care of their people, and find a way to do that while paying all the bills. The SVRA has been doing that since you took over. I don't agree with everything the SVRA does that's okay. Can I recruit some backers for the Woodstock 6 social distancing festival?

Compression on cyl no1 is 9.5 bar and on cyl 2 it is 8 bar. The compression on the other cylinders is between 12 and 13.5 bar. This is with a race cam with a valve overlap of 110? (320-F grind). Because of the high overlap, the piston has risen a lot before the inlet valve is closed, so I did the compression test again, but with a valve lash of 2.5mm/0.1" : compression went from 9.5 bar to 14.5 on cyl no 1 and from 8 bar to 15 on cyl no 2. With this valve lash, the compression on the other cylinders went up to 16 - 18.5 bar. Of course, when the engine is running at high rpm, a lot of valve overlap is necessary for best cylinder filling, but I wonder if 110? isn't too much?? The recommended valve lash is 0.40mm/0.016" when the rocker ratio is 1.45(0.43mm/ with my 1.55 roller rockers). Would it be risky to set the valve lash at some 0.05mm/0.002" higher? PS : is it common practice to set the valve lash at a couple of mm to perform a compression test, because it seems that the valve lash has a lot of influence on the result when testing a race camshaft?

It is NOT a Fidanza brand. The steel ring gear is thru bolted not sealed with a bolt 1/2 in the aluminum and the other 1/2 in the ring gear. Custom done correctly so it won't separate down the road. I have gone to a Tilton hydraulic slave/release bearing set up. All my stuff has to be between 0.175 -0.250 between the clutch fingers and the release bearing. Ive gone with steel flywheels so all the engines can just bolt the tranny on and not have to readjust the spacing. So now I have this really nice flywheel and won't be using it.

Honestly, I have been involved in SVRA for 8 years and I must admit your email was the most hurtful I have read to date. You are way off base to send this out without the facts and to not bother sending this directly to me if you had questions. In the last 24 hours Cook Wealth Management helped process over 100 PPP applications for contract employees of SVRA, several race prep shops and several small business owners who were having trouble getting their loans processed. They also processed several PPP apps for independent corner workers. While the form process is very simple, getting a bank to process small individual loans is nearly impossible. You assumed SVRA and or Cook Wealth were paid a fee to do this. Frankly that is not true. The Cook Wealth team worked with several banks as far away as South Dakota to help people get their much needed funding. We use our email platform for offering free featured marque programs, like the Kastner Cup race at Mid-Ohio, schedule updates and raising awareness for several of the 501.C3s that we support. We also provide special membership offers on behalf of our sponsors. I?m sorry you were offended by our e-blast. You are welcome to race with us but I do not plan to change my policy for our emails. We will remove you from our database to make sure you don?t receive unwanted emails. Just to be clear, we were paid nothing nor was Cook Wealth Management. Finally, I do not hand out or give away our customer?s email addresses. That?s why the email came from me. Also, my name is spelled Parella.

First, what they were offering to do (for a fee no doubt) was to help small businesses with submitting the PPP SBA loan application to cover payroll costs during the Covid crisis. My company submitted this application when it first came out and it was less than an hours work. Very simple and straight forward, if you can manage your payroll the application is a snap. It is a waste of money to have these guys ?help? you. Second, I don?t mind if a racing organization tries to hook us up with a partner that supplies something related to our cars and racing as long as they inform us that they give our emails to these companies. By informing us, I don?t mean hiding the ?opt out? button in the fine print where it is easy to miss. Given that SVRA is marketing in this fashion I can only assume that money is the issue.

In our pre-covid world tracks were already struggling with generating enough revenue to make business sense. Now the future is even more scary. Any track, or any organization that wants to be in the business of promoting events has a huge challenge in front of them post pandemic. They have to try new and different things, they have to take care of their people, and find a way to do that while paying all the bills. The SVRA has been doing that since you took over.

Mai 2020 14:43 An: fot Betreff: [Fot] Valve overlap and compression test A leaking test on my TR6 engine is showing a leaking exhaust valve on cyl no 1 (48% on the gauge of the device) and a leaking inlet valve on cyl no 2 (75%). Compression on cyl no1 is 9.5 bar and on cyl 2 it is 8 bar. The compression on the other cylinders is between 12 and 13.5 bar. This is with a race cam with a valve overlap of 110? (320-F grind). Because of the high overlap, the piston has risen a lot before the inlet valve is closed, so I did the compression test again, but with a valve lash of 2.5mm/0.1" : compression went from 9.5 bar to 14.5 on cyl no 1 and from 8 bar to 15 on cyl no 2. With this valve lash, the compression on the other cylinders went up to 16 - 18.5 bar. Of course, when the engine is running at high rpm, a lot of valve overlap is necessary for best cylinder filling, but I wonder if 110? isn't too much?? The recommended valve lash is 0.40mm/0.016" when the rocker ratio is 1.45(0.43mm/ with my 1.55 roller rockers). Would it be risky to set the valve lash at some 0.05mm/0.002" higher? PS : is it common practice to set the valve lash at a couple of mm to perform a compression test, because it seems that the valve lash has a lot of influence on the result when testing a race camshaft?

I think the man who has put the big valves in it, has taken too much risks : the valve seats (the rings that are pressed into the cyl head) are small where they do meet, and maybe the seats are distorted a bit because of this, but I don't know for sure, I will see when pulling the head. I know one cannot change the valve clearance too much, but maybe 0.05mm more valve lash is ok and it will reduce the valve overlap. I believe 110? overlap is a lot, even for a racecamshaft. Any idea's someone about that? The compression test with increased valve lash is much higher than with the recommended valve lash : I wonder if it is making any sense at all to check the compression of a race engine without increasing the valve lash : with the normal clearances, the inlet valve is closing when the piston has already travelled a lot upwards, hence the big difference between the compression test results with normal and with increased valve lash. So I think, if you want to test the compression, you have to increase the valve lash firstly(at least when the engine has a race camshaft).

Unless I?m reading them wrong, I?ve looked at some pretty radical cam specs and the opening/closing overlap does not approach 110 degrees, more like 50 degrees on a really aggressive cam, but the lobe separation angle is about 104 degrees on the cam I have in the car and 107 on the cam I?m putting in another engine.

Checking at 0.050" would result in much lower overlap. Installed at 103?(=advanced a bit) , inlet valve is opening 53? before TDC and exhaust valve is closing at 57? after TDC. But 110? is a lot of overlap :the BFE24 grind has 112? but most racecams are between 95 and 105? it seems. The cam in my engine is installed at 104?, I'm thinking of trying to advance it to 100? ; then the inlet valve is closing earlier. Now the engine has a REAL 210 hp, with the leaking valves and I'm just starting the testing on my engine dyno. People who are racing TR6 engines are easily talking about 230 and 250hp but you never know what that means. But 210? is disappointing, it should go up, more so because the displacement is 2720cc (evenly spaced bores of 78mm) Marcel Van: "Scott Janzen" Aan: "van mulders marcel" Cc: "tr4racing" , "fot" Verzonden: Zaterdag 2 mei 2020 23:36:31 Onderwerp: Re: [Fot] Valve overlap and compression test Maercel, I?m puzzled.

Compression on cyl no1 is 9.5 bar and on cyl 2 it is 8 bar. The compression on the other cylinders is between 12 and 13.5 bar. This is with a race cam with a valve overlap of 110? (320-F grind). Because of the high overlap, the piston has risen a lot before the inlet valve is closed, so I did the compression test again, but with a valve lash of 2.5mm/0.1" : compression went from 9.5 bar to 14.5 on cyl no 1 and from 8 bar to 15 on cyl no 2. With this valve lash, the compression on the other cylinders went up to 16 - 18.5 bar. Of course, when the engine is running at high rpm, a lot of valve overlap is necessary for best cylinder filling, but I wonder if 110? isn't too much?? The recommended valve lash is 0.40mm/0.016" when the rocker ratio is 1.45(0.43mm/ with my 1.55 roller rockers). Would it be risky to set the valve lash at some 0.05mm/0.002" higher? PS : is it common practice to set the valve lash at a couple of mm to perform a compression test, because it seems that the valve lash has a lot of influence on the result when testing a race camshaft?

Somehow in 2020 5 Triumphs and about twice as many parts have found their way back into the garage and other Triumph part pushers stand in the wings to hook me up with more. ? it's hard decision time. can I cast into the smelter my waist high stack of old flywheels and pressure plates? What about the 75 lb box of old front hubs? Gotta be a good one in there!? How about old transmissions?? An aftermarket vinyl TR-4-6 Hardtop?? It nearly fits! I don't want to sound nasty, but the existence of these parts is threatened unless you step up! I can't talk about this with my wife and my brother would have melted it all down 10 years ago.? Right now all this stuff is in Albuquerque, but considering my inability to make difficult life choices, it will all wind up in a storage unit in Salt lake about July 15th. ? This is a cry for help, should I scrap all the flywheels and pressure plates?? my finger's on the trigger.

Difficult for me to compare, as all of the cam opening/closing data I have is at 50/1000, not the recommended operating clearances. I do agree with Phil Gott?s email that the compression numbers are primarily useful as relative checks against each other. If something is out of line it indicates an issue.

Checking at 0.050" would result in much lower overlap. Installed at 103?(=advanced a bit) , inlet valve is opening 53? before TDC and exhaust valve is closing at 57? after TDC. But 110? is a lot of overlap :the BFE24 grind has 112? but most racecams are between 95 and 105? it seems. The cam in my engine is installed at 104?, I'm thinking of trying to advance it to 100? ; then the inlet valve is closing earlier. Now the engine has a REAL 210 hp, with the leaking valves and I'm just starting the testing on my engine dyno. People who are racing TR6 engines are easily talking about 230 and 250hp but you never know what that means. But 210? is disappointing, it should go up, more so because the displacement is 2720cc (evenly spaced bores of 78mm) Marcel Van: "Scott Janzen" Aan: "van mulders marcel" Cc: "tr4racing" , "fot" Verzonden: Zaterdag 2 mei 2020 23:36:31 Onderwerp: Re: [Fot] Valve overlap and compression test Maercel, I?m puzzled.

About 6 weeks to go. As far I know there is a 14 days quarantine for foreigners to enter the USA and maybe also in Europe on the way back. Currently I have no idea if I can make it because 14 days more in USA is not on my flight schedule and time scale with my job. Depending on the situation in the next 2 weeks I?m prepared to cancel the flights for Harry, Holger and me. Hopefully Corona will fade out quickly to make Mid Ohio happen for us but I have small hopes. Cheers Chris -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

It has some important items that will apply to the Kastner Cup at Mid-Ohio. I hope to have some info regarding over crew passes after they meet with the track next week. As of right now SVRA still says its a go, Mid-Ohio still says its a go. The Governor of Ohio is slowly relaxing things. We will have to be conscious of social distancing while still hanging out together. Based on what is currently happening in Ohio you should plan on making, buying, borrowing, stealing, some sort of mask to wear. Maybe we should have some kind of award for the most creative mask. ? I expect to be making a bunch of updates come June so please keep an eye on the list as things start shaking out. Things are still very fluid currently. There are presently 56 Triumphs registered.

I was a bit amazed to see Kastner Cup is still scheduled our large local track is planning to re-open for very limited use next week; basically private practise and such like, with strict rules re social distancing. another nearbye track operator has told us that he cannot get insurance coverage for any sort of event until the Government removes all forms of restrictions on gatherings, so thats what is stopping him opening, and possibly many other similar tracks.

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <637019605.265946.1589555120112@connect.xfinity.com> I recently disassembled the engine from my TR3 and the rear main area was dry. This was my first TR engine build. I used the orange RTV and carefully watched it just squeeze through gaps and cracks around the bearing cap as I installed the rope covered in RTV. That is the only place I used the orange RTV on the engine or anywhere else. I made a rope install tool just like Kas suggests in his book. What I did find was that the front engine plate was leaking between the plate and engine at the bottom. Oil from this leak makes it's way all over the oil pan and drips off the bolts and back from there. Also, my trans front seal was leaking and that slings fluid around inside the bell housing then drips out the hole at the bottom. The slinging oil also finds it's way out around the clutch fork shaft exiting the bell housing. These two leaks made it difficult to tell if the rear main was leaking or not. I also found trans fluid coming from one of the bolts holding the tail housing on. These obviously need to be sealed up better than they were. At least the rear main wasn't leaking. I'll be more confident installing the rope seal this time around.

They are helpful. It is sad to hear of the cancellations. Good for VARA making it possible to allow people a choice. Those that feel comfortable going to track can go, and those who do not can choose not to go. Sounds American to me. We own a business that has been damaged by many of the decisions that that the government has made. The two previously stated reason for registrations being down in this thread: Financial and Fear of COVID. There are more reasons fo it, than just those two. We have a 3rd reason for not registering: The policies and procedures that are having to be put in place for an event to happen. We have a lot of respect for the race organizers at SVRA, VSCDA, Midwest Council and a few others. They are dealing with a lot to make events a possibility. However, we feel that the insurance companies, the government agencies and others are really over reaching with some of the policies that they are recommending or forcing on business owners. Therefore, we are not entering events until all of this settles down. We value our time at the track very highly. We enjoy the track time and we especially the time with people whose company we really enjoy. We feel that the polices that are in place will detract greatly from both of those things happening. Again, we do not fault the organizations for what they are doing. We just will not participate based on some of the procedures and polices being put in place. Hopefully, there are brighter times ahead for those of who enjoy motorsports. Kind of like the golfers that we see out on courses when we drive-by courses in the area (BTW-We do not play golf). Seems like Covid does not exist for those who play golf, it is business as usual for them. Look forward to seeing people at the track in the future.

All Covid19-related procedures are at the behest of the state and the track owner and are required to be enforced by the sponsoring clubs. No track owner or club can take a chance on being found to operate illegally. None of us have a choice in this matter, there is no negotiation involved (esp. since schedules are overfilled): you can follow track rules or not have an event. If you are going racing this year, you are going to find new constraints everywhere in the country. The VSCDA Covid document closely mirrors SCCA, Midwestern Council, AMA and SVRA guidelines.

URL: From jhasty at mhc-law.com Sun May 17 20:40:42 2020 From: jhasty at mhc-law.com (John H. Hasty) Date: Mon, 18 May 2020 02:40:42 +0000 Subject: [Fot] Fwd: 2020 VARAC Release Message-ID: John, Henry: You asked me to take a look at the VARAC release. I generally agree with Dale?s analysis of the waiver, and as Gary observed, all but Section 1 is what insurance companies have been asking us to sign over the years. First let?s all understand that waviers/releases/covenants not so sue relating to events which are to happen in the future are generally enforceable except for acts on the part of the releases of reckless, intentional or gross negligence. (in other words some act on the part of the sanctioning body and its agents which no reasonable person would have anticipated to expose themselves to by entering the event) Other than Section 1, the release is over-broad on purpose placing layers of attempted release language which can be used by defense counsel (of which I am one) to delay and as a result increase the costs of pursuing litigation against the sanctioning body. It also plants in the participant?s mind that it would be useless to attempt action for injuries he/she may have received. (By mentioning increased costs, I would comment that these could be in the tens of thousands of dollars) Now, let?s talk about Section 1. First, set the stage. All scientific information available to us today says that for us to practice safety from the virus we should shelter at home, practice social distances of 6 feet from other individuals while on necessary trips to obtain essential items such as food etc. and wear a mask when near others. In addition the states have instituted various executive orders declaring what enterprises are safe conduct in the virus infected atmosphere. Participating in racing events to my knowledge is not one of them. In the face of these facts come VSCDA, SVRA, SCCA and perhaps others who wish to stage events where hundreds of people will mingle with one another and compete in a relatively limited area. On the question of whether their desires to stage these events are as a result of the overwhelming clamor from their members to stage events in this virus pandemic or because of their own financial interests I will not opine. So, how do these sanctioning bodies entice people to disobey the advice of the scientific community and attend their events? They come up with a long list of things, changes to normal policy, that they are going to enforce in order to make it safe for you to come to their event. No driver?s meeting, no social events, sanitizing this thing and that thing, pages of actions that they will take to make it safe for you to attend their event. But how do the sanctioning bodies protect themselves from the claims of people who relied on their representations that it would be safe to attend their events who do in fact become infected with the virus or some other injury? Enter Section 1 which, in spite of the sanction bodies representations of safety, places the burden on you to determine whether you ?feel safe? to be at the event. There is also the issue of what responsibility would be attributed to you should you be a carrier of the virus which infected another person? It has never been clear to me whether these sanctioning bodies carry participant liability insurance or whether such off track liability would be covered, but you should be aware of this potential liability as well. Whether Section 1 would be enforceable given the representations of safety made by the sanctioning bodies would be an issue, but here again an issue which could cost you thousands of dollars to try and overcome in a court of law. Again, I do not opine on whether the sanctioning bodies should be encouraging people to enter their events or whether it is reasonable and one should, as the release states, ?feel safe? under the present conditions to participate in these events. It?s entirely up to you. [cid:image001.png at 01D62C90.227B0A50] John H. Hasty Attorney at Law Mullen Holland & Cooper P.A. 301 S. York St., P.O.

Hasty" > Subject: Re: [Fot] Fwd: 2020 VARAC Release > > ?John, the analysis gets very complicated in a hurry. You assume only club, track and safety worker defendants. The waiver protects drivers and their crew as well as the club and track from participant lawsuits. A driver defendant may lose the protection if he/she 1) does not feel safe and runs anyway and if 2) the driver does not follow anything in the complex new package of safety rules (which may include an implied duty to rat on other participants who do not follow all the rules). This is not good. Best practice is an Indy style waiver and a separate agreement on new safety rules with specified penalties for breach. > > Dale Oesterle > - Sent from iPad > >>> On May 17, 2020, at 10:42 PM, John H. Hasty via Fot wrote: >>> >> ? >> John, Henry: >> You asked me to take a look at the VARAC release. I generally agree with Dale?s analysis of the waiver, and as Gary observed, all but Section 1 is what insurance companies have been asking us to sign over the years. First let?s all understand that waviers/releases/covenants not so sue relating to events which are to happen in the future are generally enforceable except for acts on the part of the releases of reckless, intentional or gross negligence. (in other words some act on the part of the sanctioning body and its agents which no reasonable person would have anticipated to expose themselves to by entering the event) Other than Section 1, the release is over-broad on purpose placing layers of attempted release language which can be used by defense counsel (of which I am one) to delay and as a result increase the costs of pursuing litigation against the sanctioning body. It also plants in the participant?s mind that it would be useless to attempt action for injuries he/she may have received. (By mentioning increased costs, I would comment that these could be in the tens of thousands of dollars) >> Now, let?s talk about Section 1. First, set the stage. All scientific information available to us today says that for us to practice safety from the virus we should shelter at home, practice social distances of 6 feet from other individuals while on necessary trips to obtain essential items such as food etc. and wear a mask when near others. In addition the states have instituted various executive orders declaring what enterprises are safe conduct in the virus infected atmosphere. Participating in racing events to my knowledge is not one of them. In the face of these facts come VSCDA, SVRA, SCCA and perhaps others who wish to stage events where hundreds of people will mingle with one another and compete in a relatively limited area. On the question of whether their desires to stage these events are as a result of the overwhelming clamor from their members to stage events in this virus pandemic or because of their own financial interests I will not opine. So, how do these sanctioning bodies entice people to disobey the advice of the scientific community and attend their events? They come up with a long list of things, changes to normal policy, that they are going to enforce in order to make it safe for you to come to their event. No driver?s meeting, no social events, sanitizing this thing and that thing, pages of actions that they will take to make it safe for you to attend their event. But how do the sanctioning bodies protect themselves from the claims of people who relied on their representations that it would be safe to attend their events who do in fact become infected with the virus or some other injury? Enter Section 1 which, in spite of the sanction bodies representations of safety, places the burden on you to determine whether you ?feel safe? to be at the event. There is also the issue of what responsibility would be attributed to you should you be a carrier of the virus which infected another person? It has never been clear to me whether these sanctioning bodies carry participant liability insurance or whether such off track liability would be covered, but you should be aware of this potential liability as well. Whether Section 1 would be enforceable given the representations of safety made by the sanctioning bodies would be an issue, but here again an issue which could cost you thousands of dollars to try and overcome in a court of law. >> Again, I do not opine on whether the sanctioning bodies should be encouraging people to enter their events or whether it is reasonable and one should, as the release states, ?feel safe? under the present conditions to participate in these events. It?s entirely up to you. >> >> >> John H. Hasty >> Attorney at Law >> Mullen Holland & Cooper P.A. >> 301 S. York St., >> P.O.

I am selling the former Abacus Racing BRG TR3 (TS57917L). There was a video of Mike Jackson and Bill Thummel racing at Mid Ohio posted here earlier in the year. Bill won the race on Sat but Mike took it on Sunday. It has a ready to assemble engine and a non-overdrive gearbox, with stock TR3 rear end. It has 5 good panasport wheels. Abacus took a clean no rust street car and converted it for vintage racing in 1991. The SVRA logbook shows 28 races from 1991 to 1997. Abacus then took the engine and gearbox for their TR4. The car sat in a dry garage until I purchased it last year. I intended to make a race car for my son in law and my grandson, or even turn it back to a streetcar. I have since found some Turners that I think will be better for them, and the TR3 is now available with parts. I purchased a ready to assemble engine from Dave Spiwak and that will go with the car for what I paid Dave (list attached) It comes with a very nice sandblasted and painted TR3 frame. It has a New Mexico title. The car looks solid, and has a heavy sway bar in the front. All instruments are there, including an overdrive button on the steering wheel. There is a small dent in the left rear fender which looks like it can be banged out. I have a fiberglass tunnel. The roll bar includes door impact protection. Abacus was very successful with the car. More info and photos available. Roller and frame for $5500. Engine ready to assemble $5000 (pls see attachment - I paid $5K, Dave spent $7721), and the additional below parts I purchased from Dave ($535): Fidanza flywheel $200 Tilton clutch $150 Starter $70 Auto Pro Rev Limiter $15 Detroit Locker $100 I was quoted $1000 to $1500 for engine assembly by Abacus Machine shop. Car needs a fuel cell, tires, brake rebuild, and normal stuff done after a car has been sitting. Car and frame are in Va Bch, engine parts are still in PA and I will pick up or have shipped as soon as Dave can get home. So everything totals $11,350. I prefer it all to go together. Anyone interested? Thanks, Hank Hank Giffin 757-375-1491 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

They confirmed yes it is a non spectator event but you can indeed purchase overcrew, no limit. Probably within reason though. After I got confirmation I checked the Mid-Ohio website and low and behold you can buy tickets. To further confuse things I had told the locals that it was now a non spectator event so one of them contacted the track yesterday for a refund on a ticket he had purchased on line. Mid-Ohio told him spectators are welcome. So it this point I have no idea, I give up on this one. There have been some questions regarding camping.

They have someone involved with the board that is taking all of this way too far. We hope to run a few SVRA events later in the season, if some of this settles down. We know they are working hard to find a way to get the season going. We are not concerned about the exposure of being at the track.

I hadn't had a physical in many years, just surgical patch jobs on a couple of joints. These days licensing requires an annual physical and EKG and I have no complaints. Racing changed my life for the better in a lot of ways and watching my health is one of them. After that first physical they put me on a statin drug for high Cholesterol and later high blood pressure medicine. I did not like being on a statin so I changed my diet, started taking an herbal supplement and got my cholesterol under control to get off the drug. Due to family history of heart issues I still have to take HBP medicine. I started cycling about 10 years later and fixed both. There is a book out there called "Younger Next Year". I highly recommend it.

I have it from a reliable source that the virus protocols currently being drafted up for the upcoming Mid-Ohio race will require mask be worn when not race geared up. Don't freak out, this is consistent with what other race venues are doing. It is what it is. That being said, you don't want to show up with some hokey cloth our your grandmothers babushka draped across your chin. No, you want to show some FOT class don't you! Well my friends I have solved your problem. Remember that Lands End storefront I set up for us last year? They have mask! With the FOT insignia!! I'm not sure how it will look or how they will fit it on a mask but what the heck, I want to be one of the cool (and safe) kids. So in case you forgot, below is the original email I sent our a while ago. Log in and just type "mask" in the search bar and it will get you where you need to go.

I am starting with the black and white coat of arms that was used in the 2012 special shirt run. Once you run through the sequence a time or two it is pretty simple. I have tried to explain it below. I have used Land Ends Business for other car clubs store fronts and it is top quality and best of all you can return things. Give it a try. Marty Sukey 1, go to https://business.landsend.com/store/fot/ 2, set up an account for yourself and log in. 3, pick an item you might want. 4, click on apply logo, 5, select the FOT logo, 6,if you want, select change colors. Here you can experiment with changing colors on the logo to better suit the color of shirt you pick. If you hit select new colors you will get a drop down with multiple boxes. Try putting a different color in each box and see how it effects the logo. Then you can tweak it as needed. 7, select location. 8, hit apply logo. 9, hit cancel or add to bag. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Several of you replied only to me. ?There was a request to know all the responses, and a failure on my part to get my email to include the entire chain of responses in anything I sent out (as far as I can tell, anyway). Because this particular chain might prove helpful and ought to be included in any future books on TR prep, I compiled all the responses and their authors, in a pdf document, ?Please find it attached. I should clarify at this point that I was seeking to avoid the mess made by the Aviation Cement during assembly. ?A number of responses went, quite naturally, to avoiding the mess of the oil leaks themselves. ?My concern was that I was re-assembling the bottom end with cylinders and pistons and rings all in place. ?I had nightmares of the aviation cement dripping down into the cylinder/piston space and fouling the ring pack. ?Hopefully I avoided that.... Hope to see you all in Ohio. ?We'll have a fun time trying to guess who we're talking to as we will be masked. ?Heck, I can't remember names even without masks..... Thanks again, Amici!

In our history, some of the Kastner Cups were small intimate events where good friends got together, raced together, and had a good time. This can be one of those events. ?Significant?. We had Kas at Mid-Ohio in 2002. It was the start of something very important to many of us. Ideally, ?The Return to Mid-Ohio? would have been 2022, but it didn?t seem like a good idea to wait for combined anniversary of the 1st Big Triumph event in 1992 (the 50th Anniversary of Triumphs in Competition) and the 20th Anniversary of the Kastner Cup. So let?s put ?Best? and ?Significant? together and just do it. It won?t be the major production that was originally conceived, but that?s out of our control. But we can do what we can to Honor Kas? Contribution to the Motorsports World, with the people that are able to be there. It will also be an opportunity for you guys to discuss the future of ?Triumph Focus Events?. It doesn?t have to end at Mid-Ohio. It shouldn?t. But it can be re-invented into something very significant. Kastner Cup II. The FOT and the Kastner Cup has quietly garnered recognition and respect on a global level. We have the best and most significant people in the sport. When we go to Watkins Glen, Road Atlanta, Road America, and Mid-Ohio, the GATE is huge. And usually we have more fun than any other groups. So the 18th Running of the Kastner Cup promises to be the Best and most Significant. We have Clark Lincoln?s Poster and Shirt artwork, plenty of room in the paddock, and our friends at hand. What more could we ask for. See you there, if you can....all of you.

I believe this is a reality in the case of the 4 cyl TR crank. The heavy flywheel is there for smoother running, I don't know if there are other advantages? As you know (i.e. of the books of Kas Kastner), the harmonics of the 6 cyl TR crank are much more detrimental with high levering loads on the flywheel bolts. Maybe the front pulley can be made lighter when the flywheel is lighter. Respectfully yours, Marcel Van Mulders.

I'll start the spit-balling I think and I think that Joe thinks we need to develop a plan to keep us getting together. I'll start with the fear because it can be overcome if we face it now. I ride MS150's. I've done 9 years in a row until this year. Both the Houston/ to Austin and the Dallas to Ft Worth rides were both cancelled this year. When you do these 180 mile rides it is best to be on a team. The Team I began riding with is no more. The founder, lead organizer, and facilitator of the 35 member team passed away a few years ago. It was a tragic, unexpected loss. His "Wheels of Love Team" faltered because there was not a clear path forward. There were some questions as to whether his wife wanted the team to continue and without his leadership the team has just faded. It was built around his leadership.We have had that type of leadership and legacy in the Kastner Cup with Kas and Joe. If we are going to keep this going we need a leader who can organize and facilitate, and inspire participation. That person has to have the time and the wherewithal to do it and the support of the rest of us. We have to want this to continue and we have to show up to keep it going. Observations: Smaller 20 something car events, like the the Hallett and Eagles Canyon K-Cups are fun but for me, larger participation numbers are even more fun. We are getting older and some have and others will retire from racing. Will we continue to have enough racers to keep the K-Cup viable? We are spread out all across America and unlike Europe, it is unrealistic to expect us all to get together once a year. Is there a place we could do that? If the K-Cup is to be "retired" , what will be the focus of the next "cup". Should we consider collecting an All British race group like the Euro's do? We have an obvious turning point after this race. We don't have to try to do the exact same thing going forward. How else could we keep this going? Like I said, spit-balling.

One thing that he said helped was making the flywheel and harmonic damper as close to the same weight as possible. He used some big American car damper. They had trouble making maximum RPM and ran the engine on a dyno with a strobe light on the flywheel and noticed a severe flex to the crank. They increased the damper weight and the vibration was reduced giving close to 1,000 more RPM. The cranks "wiggle" at high RPM. Matching the weight at both ends reduced that. They did blow the engine the next week when giving writers a test ride. I used this theory on my TR4A using a factory crank that I modified and lightened, I used an ATI custom damper and a lightened aluminum flywheel (less than 18 lbs for flywheel, PP and disc) and was able to turn the engine to 7,300. I also used a custom 1/4" plate bolted to the oil pan rail and across to the center main caps. Maybe some one can get more info on this theory.

I am partial to using a front pulley as light and small as possible (no damper) and also a huge fan of light weight flywheels and small diameter clutches for this very reason. The most expensive thing you can do to help your the problem is a super light crankshaft. I recently build a motor for a guy with a custom crank that knocked off 12 lbs and I could tell the difference on the dyno before it ever went in the car, the typical vibrations were gone. I asked the driver after his first session how he liked the motor and the only thing he kept saying was "it's so smooth" over and over, it audibly sounded different on track as well, crazy. The really bad part is when the Harmonic frequency gets transferred to the valve train, then you will have a serious disaster. 4 cylinders are known for this problem and some guys won't even run one on their Dyno and I personally have thrown more flywheels off on the Dyno than I would care to admit and this very problem has forced me to look at the options if for no other reason than to make my life easier. Not looking for work here but I would be willing to build a crank for anyone wanting to take their stuff to the next level but it would cost about $3000.

I'm guessing it's fiberglass. Good looking car. The FB post says the trailer was recovered but the car is gone. I have often wondered about stolen race cars and why they were stolen. More often that not it seems they are after the trailers and or tools, not so much the car. In this case they kept the car. What do you do? strip it for parts, certainly not show up at a track and race it with another paint job. I don't have anything on my trailer to suggest there is a race car inside. A drag racer friend of mine paints his car number on the roof of the trailer. A thief wouldn't know it and law enforcement can identify it from the air.

It appears you can spread Covid 19 and not know you are sick. What if you are one of those folks that then go home an give it to your family? As of today there 1.61 million cases in the US with deaths at 95,213 or a death rate 5.9%. Over this weekend we will pass 100,000 dead. Covid is killing people in all age groups, no one should consider themselves ?low risk?. This virus is like playing Russian Roulette with an automatic. It is clear that the US national strategy is to open up and either get a vaccine in 18-24 months or achieve ?Herd Immunity? which requires some 60-70% of the population to have lived through being sick in order to develop antibodies against the virus. The numbers needed to get to Herd Immunity roughly require 200,000,000 Americans to have had the virus. If people die at the current rate of 5.9% then some ?11,000,000 people would perish in getting to Herd Immunity. Even if better treatments and the demise of very high risk people cut the death rate to just 1%, we would see some 2,000,000 people die of Covid. Someone once said that if wishing were so, pigs could fly. You can cross your fingers this going to get better in June in the Midwest but all the indications are quite the opposite. We opened the country in mid May to varying degrees (not right or wrong, just fact) and infection rate numbers and death rates are likely to significantly rise in June. It takes a couple of weeks before people start showing up sick at their locale hospitals. We are all big boys and girls and we get to make our own decisions. I think this decision should be made on sound medical science and fact, not what we would like to have happen. I have a couple of good doctor friends, until they are willing to go back racing after what they are seeing in their hospitals, I will not return to the track as much as I want to. I wish all the very best of luck. Ken -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

In truth the whole pandemic thing has me thinking about my health in general, looking at the long term picture.? Sure, I am diabetic, but it is not to the point of daily blood sugar testing, just every three months or so go in and see the doctor with a quick A1C blood test.? Will I improve, or get worse?? I'll be checking out that "Younger Next Year" book previously mentioned. Of course being only 66 years old now makes me a youngster compared to some on this list. The gist of it has me questioning my goals.? Is it really worth it for me to return Killer to the track, and take on full fledged wheel to wheel vintage racing again, or should I ease off and just put together a nice, peppy streetable driver that can handle an autocross or two?? There's no easy way to objectively measure effort put in versus rewards gained.? It is a question of spirit, of adventure, excitement, a question of following your heart balanced with the real world. I've posted this before in various venues, I really wish I knew who wrote it.? I'm not into motorcycles, but this transcends the hardware, and gets right into it.? Where lays the heart, where lays the soul of an old dinosaur like me? ===== As I watch the Japanese crotch-rockets blasting the circuits, I am suffused with a distilled sense of wonder, and I marvel; these men and women are so skilled, perfect machines riding on perfect machines.? Their bikes are precision instruments built by precision instruments, sold in their multitude to the techno-dazed. About ten years ago, I was out earholing on a norton-racer-road in coastal Marin county (north of San Francisco) on my '75 Commando. Rolled up to a stop sign.? A guy on an old 500cc BSA thumper came around the corner facing me, leaned through the corner, dialed up the wick, and thumped on up the hill.? I shut nort down to listen to the sound of that long-stroke single haul that hill.? I was thrilled; I could feel the sound through the soles of my boots. All these years later, when I remember that sound, that fine sound, I choke, and tears fill my eyes.? As that quiet thump, thump, thump, faded up the hill, me and nort sat and thought of dinosaurs. It was a good day to think about dinosaurs, one of those crisp, perfect Marin autumn days.? Back then, me and my dinosaur could still swat the Japanese flies buzzing around the hills, those primordial crotch-rockets, awesome machines that have come to be so strong, strong enough to eat me and nort for breakfast. These ten years gone, I'm now flogging that British oil-bath around the Rockies.? But the king is dead (long live the king!), and I'm the dinosaur now, breathing the last breath of extinction; fading quietly, thump, thump, thump up that hill.? But I wonder, where went the soul, where went the art, where went the heart?

If one is elderly, particularly those with underlying issues, sure, they should play it safe. And anyone with an underlying issue should weigh the risks and watch out for themselves. The rest need to get on with their lives. The flu didn?t stop vintage racing. ?If people die at the current rate of 5.9% then....? That ?current rate? is not sustainable so your supposition is not based in reality. The curve doesn?t just happen in a day when we cross a threshold, it happens slowly as we reach herd immunity. And weather is proving to be significant as the southern hemisphere faces their fall and numbers are rising there. We?re heading into our Summer! Let?s all take a reality pill here. You said, ?We are all big boys and girls and we get to make our own decisions. I think this decision should be made on sound medical science and fact, not what we would like to have happen. ? Yes. So enough with the ?russian roulette with an automatic? analogies. That?s gross hyperbole, not science. It?s a bad bug, but we go on with life, just as we always have with the various threats that face us every day. What?s the stats for race car drivers getting hurt or killed? What?s the stats of sports fans being hit by lightening? What?s the stats on dying from pneumonia? Car accidents? Going to an ATM late at night? Yet we all get on with our lives. ?Justin On May 22, 2020, at 10:26 AM, Kenneth Knight via Fot > wrote: The CDC just announced today that 35% of Covid cases are asymptomatic. It appears you can spread Covid 19 and not know you are sick. What if you are one of those folks that then go home an give it to your family? As of today there 1.61 million cases in the US with deaths at 95,213 or a death rate 5.9%. Over this weekend we will pass 100,000 dead. Covid is killing people in all age groups, no one should consider themselves ?low risk?. This virus is like playing Russian Roulette with an automatic. It is clear that the US national strategy is to open up and either get a vaccine in 18-24 months or achieve ?Herd Immunity? which requires some 60-70% of the population to have lived through being sick in order to develop antibodies against the virus. The numbers needed to get to Herd Immunity roughly require 200,000,000 Americans to have had the virus. If people die at the current rate of 5.9% then some ?11,000,000 people would perish in getting to Herd Immunity. Even if better treatments and the demise of very high risk people cut the death rate to just 1%, we would see some 2,000,000 people die of Covid. Someone once said that if wishing were so, pigs could fly. You can cross your fingers this going to get better in June in the Midwest but all the indications are quite the opposite. We opened the country in mid May to varying degrees (not right or wrong, just fact) and infection rate numbers and death rates are likely to significantly rise in June. It takes a couple of weeks before people start showing up sick at their locale hospitals. We are all big boys and girls and we get to make our own decisions. I think this decision should be made on sound medical science and fact, not what we would like to have happen. I have a couple of good doctor friends, until they are willing to go back racing after what they are seeing in their hospitals, I will not return to the track as much as I want to. I wish all the very best of luck.

You want to go racing, I get that, so do I. But keep in mind what you are asking others to do so you may go racing. Dozens of support crew from corner workers, tech inspectors and more will have to travel, most inside a giant metal tube thousands feet in the air for a couple of hours that is packed with others of unknown health status. Then they land and get to ride in a rental car with two or three others to a hotel where they will share a confined space for eight hours or so sucking in the snores of the other occupant. rinse, lather and repeat and head back home. I get that no one is forcing them to go and that each person must make this choice for themselves. I don?t know about the "sky is falling" but casket sales are certainly up this past quarter. Whether or not you think you will get Covid, or you?re not in the high risk group or whatever, we have lost 94,500 souls in the last few months. If you think the numbers are misrepresented then go ahead and chop that number in half? 47, 000 people, in three or four months. It is a real concern and YES, people do die everyday but this is about it being CONTAGIOUS. I.E. You making the choice for others. Being hit by lightning is not contagious.

I wear a mask when requested by the business. I don?t go over and hug folk. I don?t visit retirement homes. if I did, I?d wash up, wear a mask, and social distance as required. I recall a friend died of a bacteria around his heart many years ago, shortly after my dad?s death. The doctors said this particular bug likely came from his garden. In the years since, did I stop gardening? Did I lay awake at night thinking about what I might pick up in my garden and share with family and friends? Dad, on the other hand, had a heart attack after a day of skiing. You never know what?s going to take us. A best friend from high school died of pneumonia late last year as he tried to sleep off, alone, what he thought was a cold. Age 57. Really, look at the numbers. We can?t live in a bubble. Every year, it seems, someone I personally knew has died, long before Covid-19 came along, and, no doubt, it will continue long after. So far, none have passed from Covid-19 that I personally knew, but It could happen. Maybe it will be the guy in my mirror. This is not the pandemic where it?s so bad every family will be touched and it?s ok to leave leave bodies at the curb for pick up. It?s not playing russian roulette to try to get back to some semblance of normalcy. I beg you to not let the early predictions of this virus to lead you to not even admit your ?Russian Roulette with an automatic.? was way off base. And by the way, ?While you are getting through Covid with no problems?... you mean like how I?m unemployed with no prospects because what was supposed to be a short term chance to get our hospitals and emergency services prepared, so there?d be enough beds, masks, and ventilators has gone on well beyond the need? Your scare mongering is going ?to be a real bitch when someone we personally love? faces financial ruin, commits suicide, is victimized by predators, etc. because of the lockdown. How?s it feel to have people?s deaths laid on you like that? I wouldn?t have gone there. I believe you remain way off base, but we can agree to disagree. I only posted a response because I felt compelled to respond so that FOT members have a balance.

It?s the oldest vehicle I?ve ever owned, by two years (had a ?49 ford pickup once) and I love working on it. It?s so simple, and plenty of space to get at everything. Plus, this came from the family of the original owner, has been garaged all its life, and while far from pristine, it?s not rusty. Garaged all its life. I haven?t stripped or sheered a bolt yet. So, the highlights - the engine has no oil filter. Just change the oil every 2000 miles, more on dirt roads (says the manual). Lever shocks all around. Vacuum wipers, no turn signals (not sure about brake lights), manually engaged starter solenoid through a floor button. Front wheel bearings are ball bearings!!!. 4.5?x16? wheels, skinny bias plies (with a date code of 1984, definitely due to replace those if I ever go over 25 mph). Right now the brakes are apart, shocks need to go to White Post for a rebuild, gas tank and radiator at the local shop. Here?s a question - the manual calls for straight 20w oil for the engine, 30 in the winter. Should I run 20w, or 10-30? Gear oils - straight 90W is what?s called for. What?s a good non-synthetic? Steering gear calls for ?All Purpose? lubricant - WTH? Having fun in the garage these days!!! -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The heavy outbreak of Corona in Italy was caused by some big events in Northern Italy, the ski holydays, the Bergamo football match and a third one I did forget. It is generally accepted that a virus can spread easily where lots of people are together for some time. On the other hand, a pandemic can turn down, and mostly does so, before herd immunity is reached. The seasonal influenza epidemic comes and goes without reaching herd immunity of 60%. Unfortunately, this corona virus is much more dangerous than the influenza viruses, not because it is more contagious but you are much better off with a flu than with the covid-19 infection. People die from influenza too, but if that happens it is because of complications like bacterial pneumonie and other surinfections (things that doctors can do something about) but this corona virus is killing people on its own by causing pneumonia, vascular damage and so on and even if you are in hospital (intensive care), all the doctors can do is give support and often the patients die and they can do nothing but watch it. Anyway this virus has a big influence on our way of living, we can't deny it and go on as if it would not be there. Organising a big event is very complicated now.

As new it probably did not use detergent motor oil, and a straight 30 in summer would be the correct grade. Over time there is no way to know what was dumped in that crankcase, so a non detergent oil would be a safe bet. If the car came with service records it may shed some light on things. Also, do remember that the rods are splash oiled on a Chevy six of that era, so drive her gently. Full pressure oiling did not happen till 1953 or 1954 ish. If you ever have the engine rebuilt, then a good modern multi grade oil, with high levels of ZDDP, is the way to go, just like our racing TRs. As to the gear box, diff, and steering box. Any good non synthetic gear lube of the appropriate grade will be just fine. Most modern gear oils are 85w90, and that?s OK. The steering box is always an issue as usually, if they are original, they are pretty much guaranteed to leak around every place they can leak, and hence will not hold liquid lubes for long, without a rebuild. The ?All Purpose? thing is curious. It?s possible that they either mean gear oil or grease. I know one of the ?work arounds? that old timers, and some not so old timers use on early Fords if the box wont hold gear lube, is to pack it with wheel bearing grease. It?s still a frequent practice, as getting the steering gear out of these older machines is fiddly at best and downright difficult in most cases. A word about those old drum brakes. If you have a really good brake shop near you, make sure to have the drums trued and have the new shoes arced (matched) to the drums. This will save many headaches in getting the thing to stop without pulling you into the ditch or oncoming traffic. Also on the subject of brakes, if you are going to put in new wheel cylinders, no matter who you get them from, they all come from China, disassemble them and make sure that the seals are proper lubed with a brake assembly lube, and make sure that the hydraulic line port and the bleeder port are actually drilled all the way through. Really, this is a thing. I have had several wheel cylinders from big name ?reputable? manufacturers that have not had the ports properly drilled through the casting, or had the bleeder screw seating surface not be concentric with the threads for the screw. It?s much easier to check them first, than after you have them on the car and all the shoes/linkages attached. Have fun with her, I love the 40?s domestic cars a lot.

Front wheel bearings are ball bearings!!!. 4.5?x16? wheels, skinny bias plies (with a date code of 1984, definitely due to replace those if I ever go over 25 mph). Right now the brakes are apart, shocks need to go to White Post for a rebuild, gas tank and radiator at the local shop. Here?s a question - the manual calls for straight 20w oil for the engine, 30 in the winter. Should I run 20w, or 10-30? Gear oils - straight 90W is what?s called for. What?s a good non-synthetic? Steering gear calls for ?All Purpose? lubricant - WTH? Having fun in the garage these days!!!

I introduced myself to Joe and Sean Alexander in the paddock. I had just purchased my TR4 and was beginning the process of converting it to vintage from SCCA preparation.

My racing involvement spans four decades with many organizations, and my experiences with SVRA has been exceptional from everyone I have had the pleasure to be in contact with. SVRA prescribes meticulous directives and protocol to provide maximum safety for it's members and competitors. With a few exceptions, racing is basically a money losing proposition for most of us. Whether your pockets are deep, or you need to exercise prudence over financial resources, racing is a luxury. it is not an essential activity of well being. It provides no homeostatic need other than to actualize a passion, which, I will agree, does keep many of us sane. Now, unfortunately, each of us needs to make their own decision on whether to continue this pleasure under the guise of something that could potentially make one terminally ill or be a catalyst to others. I do not wish to engage in a dialogue of opinion and personal discernment .I do not believe there is a right or wrong answer, SVRA has taken extraordinary actions to assure personal safety, and I applaud their endeavor. Yet, I have to ask myself, is the risk worth the reward for me? I have looked forward to participating in the Mid-Ohio/Kastner event, for the past several months, particularly since racing at Mid-Ohio has been on my bucket list for over 40 years. Regretfully, I have made the decision to suspend further participation until the current health situation has some positive resolve. To quote Steve McQeen "Life is racing, the rest is just waiting." For myself, it is time to wait. I hope the wait is not too long. Lastly, this is a passionate debate, and there appears to be an atmosphere of rancor among a few of the postings. May I suggest that before one presses the send button, that they wait overnight and carefully re-read what has been written. We can disagree, but a little civility might be exercised. Zeal and anger can be a volatile combination. As grandma said, "you catch more bee's with honey than vinegar" After all, this post is called "Friends of Triumph". ---------------------------------------- From: "Ken Knight via Fot" Sent: Friday, May 22, 2020 7:56 PM To: "J Wagner via Fot" Subject: Re: [Fot] To Consider Before you Race Well then all is going to just fine and you this will magically go away.

I don't go over and hug folk. I don't visit retirement homes. if I did, I'd wash up, wear a mask, and social distance as required. I recall a friend died of a bacteria around his heart many years ago, shortly after my dad's death. The doctors said this particular bug likely came from his garden. In the years since, did I stop gardening? Did I lay awake at night thinking about what I might pick up in my garden and share with family and friends? Dad, on the other hand, had a heart attack after a day of skiing. You never know what's going to take us. A best friend from high school died of pneumonia late last year as he tried to sleep off, alone, what he thought was a cold. Age 57. Really, look at the numbers. We can't live in a bubble. Every year, it seems, someone I personally knew has died, long before Covid-19 came along, and, no doubt, it will continue long after. So far, none have passed from Covid-19 that I personally knew, but It could happen. Maybe it will be the guy in my mirror. This is not the pandemic where it's so bad every family will be touched and it's ok to leave leave bodies at the curb for pick up. It's not playing russian roulette to try to get back to some semblance of normalcy. I beg you to not let the early predictions of this virus to lead you to not even admit your "Russian Roulette with an automatic." was way off base. And by the way, "While you are getting through Covid with no problems"... you mean like how I'm unemployed with no prospects because what was supposed to be a short term chance to get our hospitals and emergency services prepared, so there'd be enough beds, masks, and ventilators has gone on well beyond the need? Your scare mongering is going "to be a real bitch when someone we personally love" faces financial ruin, commits suicide, is victimized by predators, etc. because of the lockdown. How's it feel to have people's deaths laid on you like that? I wouldn't have gone there. I believe you remain way off base, but we can agree to disagree.

"....Covid is killing people in all age groups, no one should consider themselves 'low risk'. This virus is like playing Russian Roulette with an automatic...." That describes the Covid-19 that the early models were describing, but those models were wrong and have been discredited. Yes, in fact, some people can consider themselves "low risk" and no, it's not like playing Russian Roulette at all. And it's certainly not like playing it with an automatic. If one is elderly, particularly those with underlying issues, sure, they should play it safe. And anyone with an underlying issue should weigh the risks and watch out for themselves. The rest need to get on with their lives. The flu didn't stop vintage racing. "If people die at the current rate of 5.9% then...." That "current rate" is not sustainable so your supposition is not based in reality. The curve doesn't just happen in a day when we cross a threshold, it happens slowly as we reach herd immunity. And weather is proving to be significant as the southern hemisphere faces their fall and numbers are rising there. We're heading into our Summer! Let's all take a reality pill here. You said, "We are all big boys and girls and we get to make our own decisions. I think this decision should be made on sound medical science and fact, not what we would like to have happen. " Yes. So enough with the "russian roulette with an automatic" analogies. That's gross hyperbole, not science. It's a bad bug, but we go on with life, just as we always have with the various threats that face us every day. What's the stats for race car drivers getting hurt or killed? What's the stats of sports fans being hit by lightening? What's the stats on dying from pneumonia? Car accidents? Going to an ATM late at night? Yet we all get on with our lives. -Justin On May 22, 2020, at 10:26 AM, Kenneth Knight via Fot wrote: The CDC just announced today that 35% of Covid cases are asymptomatic. It appears you can spread Covid 19 and not know you are sick. What if you are one of those folks that then go home an give it to your family? As of today there 1.61 million cases in the US with deaths at 95,213 or a death rate 5.9%. Over this weekend we will pass 100,000 dead. Covid is killing people in all age groups, no one should consider themselves 'low risk'. This virus is like playing Russian Roulette with an automatic. It is clear that the US national strategy is to open up and either get a vaccine in 18-24 months or achieve "Herd Immunity" which requires some 60-70% of the population to have lived through being sick in order to develop antibodies against the virus. The numbers needed to get to Herd Immunity roughly require 200,000,000 Americans to have had the virus. If people die at the current rate of 5.9% then some ?11,000,000 people would perish in getting to Herd Immunity. Even if better treatments and the demise of very high risk people cut the death rate to just 1%, we would see some 2,000,000 people die of Covid. Someone once said that if wishing were so, pigs could fly. You can cross your fingers this going to get better in June in the Midwest but all the indications are quite the opposite. We opened the country in mid May to varying degrees (not right or wrong, just fact) and infection rate numbers and death rates are likely to significantly rise in June. It takes a couple of weeks before people start showing up sick at their locale hospitals. We are all big boys and girls and we get to make our own decisions. I think this decision should be made on sound medical science and fact, not what we would like to have happen. I have a couple of good doctor friends, until they are willing to go back racing after what they are seeing in their hospitals, I will not return to the track as much as I want to. I wish all the very best of luck.

My dad and I went to that race because Paul Smock and Bill Burroughs were going to make the cross country trip to be in it. They chickened out, but we still went. I remember the group 44 TR8 being really quick. I also remember seeing Tulius and other group 44 people there with one of their XJS race cars for sale. I don?t remember any details except they were selling it for $7K. Hindsight is 20-20! I bought an SCCA Spitfire after that and the rest, shall we say, is history. The number 14 car was raced by Ralph Thomas. That?s the Kastner Brophy Vitesse which I have now. It will be coming back to Mid-Ohio for the Kastner Cup.

As many of you pointed out, I had the oil weights reversed winter and summer, so summer, 30w, winter 20w, though the manual says I can probably continue using 20W all summer. The oiling system is definitely splash at low speeds, with ?dippers? attached to each connecting rod big end that scoop up some oil and direct it at the rod bearings. At higher speeds, there?s a pipe and nozzles off the oil galley that aim oil at the dippers to increase the flow - the manual has directions on aiming the nozzles and apparently there?s a special ?target? jig where one can adjust the nozzles to hit the target, with dire consequences if they aren?t aimed right. Of course, the oil gauge only goes from 0-30 psi, so we have a low pressure system here. Steering - I re-read the paragraph and it starts with ?this is filled at the factory with a special all season gear lube and, to paraphrase ?you shouldn?t need to mess with it". After 73 years, however, I?m going to check. It also says ?use a lube that will not ?channel? at low temps or cause ?hard steering?. I?ll try 90W and see what happens. You are correct about pulling the steering box - the directions start with ?remove the steering wheel? and go on from there. However, steering is quite loose and there are three separate lash adjustments, according to the manual, so it?s probably best done on a bench. Brakes - the wheel and master cylinders were surprisingly good, so I got rebuild kits, which look to be USA made. While I?m boring you guys and gals with all this non-Triumph stuff, the manual has four pages on cleaning the upholstery, including categories for battery acids, blood, candy, chewing gum, paint and lacquer, fruits, grease and oil, ice cream, writing ink, iron rust, lipstick, tar and water spots. Solvents for cleaning include benzene, ether, sodium bifluoride ( I always have that around), carbon tetrachloride, and ammonia.

As new it probably did not use detergent motor oil, and a straight 30 in summer would be the correct grade. Over time there is no way to know what was dumped in that crankcase, so a non detergent oil would be a safe bet. If the car came with service records it may shed some light on things. Also, do remember that the rods are splash oiled on a Chevy six of that era, so drive her gently. Full pressure oiling did not happen till 1953 or 1954 ish. If you ever have the engine rebuilt, then a good modern multi grade oil, with high levels of ZDDP, is the way to go, just like our racing TRs. As to the gear box, diff, and steering box. Any good non synthetic gear lube of the appropriate grade will be just fine. Most modern gear oils are 85w90, and that?s OK. The steering box is always an issue as usually, if they are original, they are pretty much guaranteed to leak around every place they can leak, and hence will not hold liquid lubes for long, without a rebuild. The ?All Purpose? thing is curious. It?s possible that they either mean gear oil or grease. I know one of the ?work arounds? that old timers, and some not so old timers use on early Fords if the box wont hold gear lube, is to pack it with wheel bearing grease. It?s still a frequent practice, as getting the steering gear out of these older machines is fiddly at best and downright difficult in most cases. A word about those old drum brakes. If you have a really good brake shop near you, make sure to have the drums trued and have the new shoes arced (matched) to the drums. This will save many headaches in getting the thing to stop without pulling you into the ditch or oncoming traffic. Also on the subject of brakes, if you are going to put in new wheel cylinders, no matter who you get them from, they all come from China, disassemble them and make sure that the seals are proper lubed with a brake assembly lube, and make sure that the hydraulic line port and the bleeder port are actually drilled all the way through. Really, this is a thing. I have had several wheel cylinders from big name ?reputable? manufacturers that have not had the ports properly drilled through the casting, or had the bleeder screw seating surface not be concentric with the threads for the screw. It?s much easier to check them first, than after you have them on the car and all the shoes/linkages attached. Have fun with her, I love the 40?s domestic cars a lot.

It?s the oldest vehicle I?ve ever owned, by two years (had a ?49 ford pickup once) and I love working on it. It?s so simple, and plenty of space to get at everything. Plus, this came from the family of the original owner, has been garaged all its life, and while far from pristine, it?s not rusty. Garaged all its life. I haven?t stripped or sheered a bolt yet. So, the highlights - the engine has no oil filter. Just change the oil every 2000 miles, more on dirt roads (says the manual). Lever shocks all around. Vacuum wipers, no turn signals (not sure about brake lights), manually engaged starter solenoid through a floor button. Front wheel bearings are ball bearings!!!. 4.5?x16? wheels, skinny bias plies (with a date code of 1984, definitely due to replace those if I ever go over 25 mph). Right now the brakes are apart, shocks need to go to White Post for a rebuild, gas tank and radiator at the local shop. Here?s a question - the manual calls for straight 20w oil for the engine, 30 in the winter. Should I run 20w, or 10-30? Gear oils - straight 90W is what?s called for. What?s a good non-synthetic?

Gear oil will probably leak past the seals and grease will ?channel.? I think that means the moving parts will move the grease out of the way and not allow it to lube properly. Sounds like a fun project. Good luck! Chuck > On May 23, 2020, at 11:52 AM, Scott Janzen via Fot wrote: > > ?Thanks, Terry, really great advice.

As new it probably did not use detergent motor oil, ?and a straight 30 in summer would be the correct grade.? Over time there is no way to know what was dumped in that crankcase, so a non detergent oil would be a safe bet.? If the car came with service records it may shed some light on things. Also, do remember that the rods are splash oiled on a Chevy six of that era, so drive her gently.? Full pressure oiling did not happen till 1953 or 1954 ish.? If you ever have the engine rebuilt, then a good modern multi grade oil, with high levels of ZDDP, is the way to go, just like our racing TRs. > > > > As to the gear box, diff, and steering box.? Any good non synthetic gear lube of the appropriate grade will be just fine.? Most modern gear oils are 85w90, and that?s OK.? The steering box is always an issue as usually, if they are original, they are pretty much guaranteed to leak around every place they can leak, and hence will not hold liquid lubes for long, without a rebuild.? The ?All Purpose? thing is curious.? It?s possible that they either mean gear oil or grease.? I know one of the ?work arounds? that old timers, and some not so old timers use on early Fords if the box wont hold gear lube, is to pack it with wheel bearing grease.? It?s still a frequent practice, as getting the steering gear out of these older machines is fiddly at best and downright difficult in most cases. > > > > A word about those old drum brakes.? If you have a really good brake shop near you, make sure to have the drums trued and have the new shoes arced (matched) to the drums. This will save many headaches in getting the thing to stop without pulling you into the ditch or oncoming traffic.? Also on the subject of brakes, if you are going to put in new wheel cylinders, no matter who you get them from, they all come from China, disassemble them and make sure that the seals are proper lubed with a brake assembly lube, and make sure that the hydraulic line port and the bleeder port are actually drilled all the way through.? Really, this is a thing.? I have had several wheel cylinders from big name ?reputable? manufacturers that have not had the ports properly drilled through the casting, or had the bleeder screw seating surface not be concentric with the threads for the screw.? It?s much easier to check them first, than after you have them on the car and all the shoes/linkages attached. > > > > Have fun with her, I love the 40?s domestic cars a lot. > > > > Terry Stetler > > > > Sent from?Mail?for Windows 10 > > > > From:?Bill Tobin via Fot > > Sent:?Saturday, May 23, 2020 7:47 AM > > To:?fot at autox.team.net > > Subject:?Re: [Fot] Old Cars > > > > Great car. a friend has one similar; it's taken 3 generations of babies home from the maternity hospital! > > As for oil: something this old may require non detergent oil.

As a member of SVRA for just four years, and minimal events participated in, perhaps I am not the most qualified to critique the issue of whether or not to be racing during this unsettling period. My racing involvement spans four decades with many organizations, and my experiences with SVRA has been exceptional from everyone I have had the pleasure to be in contact with. SVRA prescribes meticulous directives and protocol to provide maximum safety for it's members and competitors. With a few exceptions, racing is basically a money losing proposition for most of us. Whether your pockets are deep, or you need to exercise prudence over financial resources, racing is a luxury. it is not an essential activity of well being. It provides no homeostatic need other than to actualize a passion, which, I will agree, does keep many of us sane. Now, unfortunately, each of us needs to make their own decision on whether to continue this pleasure under the guise of something that could potentially make one terminally ill or be a catalyst to others. I do not wish to engage in a dialogue of opinion and personal discernment.I do not believe there is a right or wrong answer. SVRA has taken extraordinary actions to assure personal safety, and I applaud their endeavor. Yet, I have to ask myself, is the risk worth the reward for me? I have looked forward to participating in the Mid-Ohio/Kastner event, for the past several months, particularly since racing at Mid-Ohio has been on my bucket list for over 40 years. Regretfully, I have made the decision to suspend further participation until the current health situation has some positive resolve. To quote Steve McQeen "Life is racing, the rest is just waiting." For myself, it is time to wait. I hope the wait is not too long. Lastly, this has been is a passionate debate, and there appears to be an atmosphere of apoplectic rancor among a few of the postings. May I suggest that before one presses the send button, that they wait overnight and carefully re-read what has been written. We can disagree, but a little civility might be exercised. Zeal and anger can be a volatile combination. As grandma said, "you catch more bee's with sugar than vinegar."

You say, what has that got to do with sports cars? Well I will tell you. I was planning to go to the races at Watkins Glen in 1952 and planned to sleep overnight before the race. As I had been to the race in 1951 and wanted to do things different this time. I scouted up some metal rods from the oil field, that we lived in, and bent them into hoops to make a covered wagon top on the Cheve. So off my buddy and I went off to the race. You race historians will remember that the race in 1952 was the last race through town and the race was stopped after a child was hit and killed on Main Street. So the sleeping facility worked well but the race viewing turned out to be a bust. Sent from Mail for Windows 10 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Engines of the time used babbitted bearings, which were sealed in place with paraffin-soaked wicking and similar materials that became carbonized as the hot metal was poured.? Detergents dislodged all that carbonized material and, oops!, what little oil pressure such engines had went away. Detergents were introduced when manufacturers upgraded to shell bearings (which were greatly refined during the war years in aircraft engines).? Detergents tended to keep particles suspended in the oil, which minimized the chance of them becoming embedded in shell bearings, which was not so much a problem with babbitt metal.? The tin in babbitt metal was soft enough (and thick enough) for them to get pounded down so they didn't stick up much from the surface, thus minimizing the damage to often unhardened crankshafts.? The layer of soft metal in shell bearings is very thin, so the prospect of something getting stuck in them and being available to wear the crank required rethinking the oils used. I suspect that the changeover to detergents was accompanied by the same sorts of problems that the changeover to synthetics presented.? If the engine is designed for the new oils, no problem.? If it wasn't, well, /caveat emptor /(my father, IIRC, blew up two engines in his `46 Plymouth in the space of eight months around the time detergents became available).? In the late `70s, I remember reading some horror stories about engines converted to full synthetics that burned bearings because the synthetics ran out of the bearings a lot more quickly, with an attendant loss of oil pressure.? Around the same time, I worked with a guy who raced snowmobiles along with his brother.? He thought he'd try Mobil1, thinking he'd get another horsepower or so.? First time out, burned a bearing.? But, his engine had some hours on it, so they tried it in his brother's sled the next weekend, which had a fresh engine.? Burned a bearing.? Engines designed for the stuff ultimately had tighter clearances and higher-volume pumps.? Still remember some nitwit Navy lieutenant screaming at me that "jet engines used synthetics," so why couldn't he use it in his Toyota Celica (this after complaining about noisy operation only after he converted to Arco Graphite, which at the time was something like 0W-15... in Florida, in the summertime--its hot viscosity was less than water).? Trying patiently to explain that it's fine if it's designed for that oil and pointing to the owner's manual just didn't work....

The Model T manual calls for 600w oil in the rearend, but there is some debate about how oils were designated back then (before SAE standards). I use the same Sta-lube GL4 90w that I use in my Triumph. Penrite makes a heavy steering box lube that I use in one car. I don't know how it compares to cornhead grease. I am surprised about how slow GM was to adopt more modern technology. Ford went to tapered roller wheel bearings around 1920 and pressure oiling about 1932. They got away from babbitted bearing in 1936 and started using oil filters about the same time. However, it was a bypass system, not full flow oil filtration. It is all eventually filtered (after it flow around enough times). ?- Larry Young ? _______________________________________________ fot at autox.team.net http://www.fot-racing.com Donate: http://www.team.net/donate.html Archive: http://autox.team.net/archive http://www.team.net/pipermail/fot Unsubscribe/Manage: http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/fot/billdentin at aol.com _______________________________________________ fot at autox.team.net http://www.fot-racing.com Donate: http://www.team.net/donate.html Archive: http://autox.team.net/archive http://www.team.net/pipermail/fot Unsubscribe/Manage: http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/fot/fubog1 at aol.com ? _______________________________________________ fot at autox.team.net http://www.fot-racing.com Donate: http://www.team.net/donate.html Archive: http://autox.team.net/archive http://www.team.net/pipermail/fot Unsubscribe/Manage: http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/fot/triumphsix at yahoo.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Very common in the olden days. Also the way it was done in WW1 aircraft, though they had a tiny air pump driven by the slipstream of the aircraft via a little propeller, and often there was also a gravity feed tank , and, a rubber bulb in the cockpit to manually build up pressure for starting.Nothing like having a fuel/air bomb right behind your seat to raise the adrenalin levels. ?

He tried to brainwash me on Fords too, but I rebelled and got a TR250 rather than a Mustang (good move right?). Anyway, he had a 1926 Model T which he got when I was about 8 years old and I inherited it when he stopped driving. I naturally gravitated to the performance end of the Model T hobby. Most people our age think sports cars and hotrodding started after WWII, but the same thing happened when the doughboys came back fror WWI. They wanted cars like they had seen in Europe. The Model T was the natural platform, since they were so abundant. I call my other one my "Poor Man's Bugatti" (see photo). It was built in 1922 on a junked 1914 roadster chassis. It was fitted with a mail order boattail body. It has several performance upgrades which were available in the period, e.g. full pressure oiling, RAJO overhead valve conversion, 2 speed rear axle (also a J-type overdrive not available in '22). I plan to build another speedster. I've got another speedster body and a Model T motor with a SOC head. There were a lot of speed parts available for those cars. I wouldn't put to much weight on what the manual says for lubrication. Most lubricants today are better than anything available then.

Image removed by sender. CSRG's "Contact Patch" Greetings! David Love Vintage Races: July 10-12 Image removed by sender. Nine Frequently Asked Questions 1) What are the chances of running? I'm not the betting kind, but I would say 50/50. A few days ago, the Sonoma County Health officer, Dr. Sundari Mase, said that, assuming the community spread doesn't climb to 30% (currently at 20%), there may be a futher easing of restrictions. To say things are in a state of flux would be an understatement. 2) Is there a Late Entry Fee?: No 3) What procedural changes will there be?: Our goal is to have the three major contact areas for entrants & crews: Will Call, Tech & Registration handled digitally. This is a big task, but it's one we will continue to pursue even after the virus subsides. We are considering using the ticket booths at the Main Gate & at the John Cardinale Media Center instead of the "open room" approach of the past. 4) Will there be changes to the Paddock?: Yes. The plan will be to do a more detailed marking of paddock spaces than we have in the past so as to ensure some degree of social distancing. 5) Will Crews be limited?: Yes, the number TBD. 6) Are spectators allowed?: No 7) Are Face Masks mandatory?: Absolutely yes. If you feel uncomfortable about it, you will just have to gut it out. 8) Saturday night dinner & Mechanical Picnic?: Cancelled 9) When can one enter?: After June 12 via MotorsportReg We all know that the ultimate responsibility falls on every person in the paddock. Simply put, if you are not careful, others may pay for it. If you feel you can not comply with the precautions laid out by both CSRG & the track, that's your choice, but we would then suggest you not enter the event. We hope everything comes together & we can hold a safe, fun event. ============================================== Helmets for 2020 Image removed by sender. Image removed by sender. Photo: Nat Lockwood Image removed by sender. There will be a new helmet standard in 2020--SA2020. Helmets to the new standard will be available late in the year. CSRG will accept SA2010 helmets (& obviously SA2015) through 2020 & probably 2021, depending upon 1) product availabilty & 2) what other clubs (particularly the SCCA) decide to accept. There are significant improvements in the new designs and, since it is your brain we're talking about, maybe upgrading is a good idea. ============================================== Mentoring Please be aware that you may be asked to help mentor a new CSRG member. If you are, we ask that you please take the task seriously & make a concerted effort to help the individual get acclimated to the club & its events. It can be a little daunting for newcomers, so any help or guidance you can provide will be beneficial. Thank you in advance! ============================================== 2020 CSRG Race Schedule Spring Races at Thunderhill Thunderhill 3 Mile Cancelled David Love Vintage Races Sonoma Raceway July 10-12 17th Annual Charity Challenge Sonoma Raceway Oct. 2-4 Season Finale & Awards Dinner at Thunderhill Thunderhill 3 Mile Oct. 30-Nov. 1 ============================================== The following is a brief list of some of the infractions that have occurred over the last few seasons. We respectfully ask that you please read them & take them to heart. Driver Conduct (A compilation of the most common infractions) * If for any reason you are late to the grid or fail to leave the grid with the pack, you may not regain your starting position. You will start from the back. * If the pace car lights are flashing, you must follow under all circumstances. (e.g., bringing group through pit lane, controlling group for multiple laps, etc.) * When behind the pace car, keep pace with the cars around you to avoid holding up the group. * Tire scrubbing is not allowed when cars are side-by-side. * Check your gauges twice a lap. Help prevent lost fluids and lost track-time. * The safest way to pass is with a point-by. Give a point-by as often as you can. (Passing is detailed on Page 1 of the CSRG Driver Handbook) * If you see a RED flag, immediately slow and check your mirrors. Come to a complete stop as soon as you can do so safely, and within sight of a flag stand. Stopped on a red flag you may turn off your engine, but do not remove your seatbelts, helmet, or any other safety gear. Await flagger signal to continue. * If you see a BLUE & YELLOW flag, check your mirrors and be aware that you are about to be passed. You do not need to lift or move over, just be aware that there is a faster car approaching. * If you deviate (spin, four wheels off, pass under yellow, contact) or if you see a standing black flag (sometimes accompanied by a finger point or a number board) you must report to the Black Flag station immediately. * Do not cross the track unless you have clear direction by a course marshal to do so. For example, at Sonoma if you spin exiting T11 and end up in the middle, you may not cross into the pit lane until directed to do so. * Altercations both verbal and physical should be avoided at all costs. Report any altercations to the Race Director or a CSRG Board Member immediately. Do not try to resolve the situation yourself.

However, if you feel your car qualifies under an earlier (1962 or 1967) rules set , you may have your car reviewed by the appropriate individual listed in the table below. The A, B & C Classes are: 'A'=prepped to 1962 rules 'B'=prepped to 1967 rules 'C'=prepped to 1972 & newer) Important: All three "classes", will be timed and scored in a way that will show their overall position & their position within the class.

The extra low end grunt is so much fun! The basic engine block is the same, so mounting is a non issue. The GT6 sump will need a little massaging with a hammer to clear the longer crank throws of the 2.5L. I've als heard that aftermarket rods will reduce the need to modify the sump for clearance, but can't verify first hand. If you retain the TR6 intake manifold, you'll have bonnet clearance issues. A GT6+ or MK3 intake will bolt to the wide port TR6 head without issue. If you plan to rev it much, you will want to look into 1.75" carbs for sure. The stock gearbox might not like the extra torque, going to a TR6 gearbox is highly recommended. Not that hard to fit. You'll need to fab up a rear mounting bracket, bend the clutch arm to clear the frame, and have a custom driveshaft made.

From: Fot [mailto:fot-bounces at autox.team.net] On Behalf Of Kenneth Knight Sent: Tuesday, May 26, 2020 9:45 AM To: FOT Subject: [Fot] FW: CSRG Late Braking News From: CSRG [mailto:contactpatch at csrgweb.org] Sent: Tuesday, May 26, 2020 9:05 AM To: kknight at klaenv.com Subject: CSRG Late Braking News Image removed by sender. Image removed by sender. CSRG's "Contact Patch" Greetings! David Love Vintage Races: July 10-12 Image removed by sender. Nine Frequently Asked Questions 1) What are the chances of running? I'm not the betting kind, but I would say 50/50. A few days ago, the Sonoma County Health officer, Dr. Sundari Mase, said that, assuming the community spread doesn't climb to 30% (currently at 20%), there may be a futher easing of restrictions. To say things are in a state of flux would be an understatement. 2) Is there a Late Entry Fee?: No 3) What procedural changes will there be?: Our goal is to have the three major contact areas for entrants & crews: Will Call, Tech & Registration handled digitally. This is a big task, but it's one we will continue to pursue even after the virus subsides. We are considering using the ticket booths at the Main Gate & at the John Cardinale Media Center instead of the "open room" approach of the past. 4) Will there be changes to the Paddock?: Yes. The plan will be to do a more detailed marking of paddock spaces than we have in the past so as to ensure some degree of social distancing. 5) Will Crews be limited?: Yes, the number TBD. 6) Are spectators allowed?: No 7) Are Face Masks mandatory?: Absolutely yes. If you feel uncomfortable about it, you will just have to gut it out. 8) Saturday night dinner & Mechanical Picnic?: Cancelled 9) When can one enter?: After June 12 via MotorsportReg We all know that the ultimate responsibility falls on every person in the paddock. Simply put, if you are not careful, others may pay for it. If you feel you can not comply with the precautions laid out by both CSRG & the track, that's your choice, but we would then suggest you not enter the event. We hope everything comes together & we can hold a safe, fun event. ============================================== Helmets for 2020 Image removed by sender. Image removed by sender. Photo: Nat Lockwood Image removed by sender. There will be a new helmet standard in 2020--SA2020. Helmets to the new standard will be available late in the year. CSRG will accept SA2010 helmets (& obviously SA2015) through 2020 & probably 2021, depending upon 1) product availabilty & 2) what other clubs (particularly the SCCA) decide to accept. There are significant improvements in the new designs and, since it is your brain we're talking about, maybe upgrading is a good idea. ============================================== Mentoring Please be aware that you may be asked to help mentor a new CSRG member. If you are, we ask that you please take the task seriously & make a concerted effort to help the individual get acclimated to the club & its events. It can be a little daunting for newcomers, so any help or guidance you can provide will be beneficial. Thank you in advance! ============================================== 2020 CSRG Race Schedule Spring Races at Thunderhill Thunderhill 3 Mile Cancelled David Love Vintage Races Sonoma Raceway July 10-12 17th Annual Charity Challenge Sonoma Raceway Oct. 2-4 Season Finale & Awards Dinner at Thunderhill Thunderhill 3 Mile Oct. 30-Nov. 1 ============================================== The following is a brief list of some of the infractions that have occurred over the last few seasons. We respectfully ask that you please read them & take them to heart. Driver Conduct (A compilation of the most common infractions) * If for any reason you are late to the grid or fail to leave the grid with the pack, you may not regain your starting position. You will start from the back. * If the pace car lights are flashing, you must follow under all circumstances. (e.g., bringing group through pit lane, controlling group for multiple laps, etc.) * When behind the pace car, keep pace with the cars around you to avoid holding up the group. * Tire scrubbing is not allowed when cars are side-by-side. * Check your gauges twice a lap. Help prevent lost fluids and lost track-time. * The safest way to pass is with a point-by. Give a point-by as often as you can. (Passing is detailed on Page 1 of the CSRG Driver Handbook) * If you see a RED flag, immediately slow and check your mirrors. Come to a complete stop as soon as you can do so safely, and within sight of a flag stand. Stopped on a red flag you may turn off your engine, but do not remove your seatbelts, helmet, or any other safety gear. Await flagger signal to continue. * If you see a BLUE & YELLOW flag, check your mirrors and be aware that you are about to be passed. You do not need to lift or move over, just be aware that there is a faster car approaching. * If you deviate (spin, four wheels off, pass under yellow, contact) or if you see a standing black flag (sometimes accompanied by a finger point or a number board) you must report to the Black Flag station immediately. * Do not cross the track unless you have clear direction by a course marshal to do so. For example, at Sonoma if you spin exiting T11 and end up in the middle, you may not cross into the pit lane until directed to do so. * Altercations both verbal and physical should be avoided at all costs. Report any altercations to the Race Director or a CSRG Board Member immediately. Do not try to resolve the situation yourself. Click here to see a larger, printable version: Driver Conduct If you have not read the CSRG Driver Handbook please do so. If you have, please consider re-reading it to refresh your memory. It contains valuable information about exactly what CSRG expects of its drivers, and how to be a welcome participant at any track event. http://bit.ly/CSRG_driver_handbook ============================================== Digital Links There are a lot of CSRG related videos on YouTube, but did you know that CSRG also has a YouTube Channel?

The reason for mentioning it is that those of you who ask to be moved out of G8 & into G2 or G3 may have to change tires to be legal in those other groups. ============================================= Image removed by sender. Click here to go to the HMP site: HMP ============================================== Production Car Sub-Groups Unless you request otherwise, the default class group for Production Cars (i.e. Race Groups 1, 2, 3 & some cars in 8) will be 'C'---that being cars conforming to the 1972 rules set. However, if you feel your car qualifies under an earlier (1962 or 1967) rules set , you may have your car reviewed by the appropriate individual listed in the table below. The A, B & C Classes are: 'A'=prepped to 1962 rules 'B'=prepped to 1967 rules 'C'=prepped to 1972 & newer) Important: All three "classes", will be timed and scored in a way that will show their overall position & their position within the class.

As already stated use the GT6 sump with some mild modification.? I also use the TR6 gearbox with a simple rear gearbox bracket to mount the stock TR6 mount. Driveshaft is a sliding spline yoke MGB shaft with GT6 flanges. The TR6 gearbox flange is simply re-drilled to accept the GT6 flange. Due to the u-joint size I do not recommend dumping the clutch to do burnouts. Good luck!Brian Dennis On Tuesday, May 26, 2020, 12:52:20 PM EDT, Dennis wrote: Does anyone have experience with installing anTR6 drive train into a GT6??

It is worth reading. In the forward not all the information was sent along. If you want to read it go the CSRG website and take a look. I think it is worth a few minutes to see how they are handling trying to get back to racing. From: Fot [mailto:fot-bounces at autox.team.net] On Behalf Of Kenneth Knight Sent: Tuesday, May 26, 2020 9:45 AM To: FOT Subject: [Fot] FW: CSRG Late Braking News From: CSRG [mailto:contactpatch at csrgweb.org] Sent: Tuesday, May 26, 2020 9:05 AM To: kknight at klaenv.com Subject: CSRG Late Braking News [Image removed by sender.] CSRG's "Contact Patch" Greetings! David Love Vintage Races: July 10-12 [Image removed by sender.] Nine Frequently Asked Questions 1) What are the chances of running? I'm not the betting kind, but I would say 50/50. A few days ago, the Sonoma County Health officer, Dr. Sundari Mase, said that, assuming the community spread doesn't climb to 30% (currently at 20%), there may be a futher easing of restrictions. To say things are in a state of flux would be an understatement. 2) Is there a Late Entry Fee?: No 3) What procedural changes will there be?: Our goal is to have the three major contact areas for entrants & crews: Will Call, Tech & Registration handled digitally. This is a big task, but it's one we will continue to pursue even after the virus subsides. We are considering using the ticket booths at the Main Gate & at the John Cardinale Media Center instead of the "open room" approach of the past. 4) Will there be changes to the Paddock?: Yes. The plan will be to do a more detailed marking of paddock spaces than we have in the past so as to ensure some degree of social distancing. 5) Will Crews be limited?: Yes, the number TBD. 6) Are spectators allowed?: No 7) Are Face Masks mandatory?: Absolutely yes. If you feel uncomfortable about it, you will just have to gut it out. 8) Saturday night dinner & Mechanical Picnic?: Cancelled 9) When can one enter?: After June 12 via MotorsportReg We all know that the ultimate responsibility falls on every person in the paddock. Simply put, if you are not careful, others may pay for it. If you feel you can not comply with the precautions laid out by both CSRG & the track, that's your choice, but we would then suggest you not enter the event. We hope everything comes together & we can hold a safe, fun event. ============================================== Helmets for 2020 [Image removed by sender.] Photo: Nat Lockwood There will be a new helmet standard in 2020--SA2020. Helmets to the new standard will be available late in the year. CSRG will accept SA2010 helmets (& obviously SA2015) through 2020 & probably 2021, depending upon 1) product availabilty & 2) what other clubs (particularly the SCCA) decide to accept. There are significant improvements in the new designs and, since it is your brain we're talking about, maybe upgrading is a good idea. ============================================== Mentoring Please be aware that you may be asked to help mentor a new CSRG member. If you are, we ask that you please take the task seriously & make a concerted effort to help the individual get acclimated to the club & its events. It can be a little daunting for newcomers, so any help or guidance you can provide will be beneficial. Thank you in advance! ============================================== 2020 CSRG Race Schedule Spring Races at Thunderhill Thunderhill 3 Mile Cancelled David Love Vintage Races Sonoma Raceway July 10-12 17th Annual Charity Challenge Sonoma Raceway Oct. 2-4 Season Finale & Awards Dinner at Thunderhill Thunderhill 3 Mile Oct. 30-Nov. 1 ============================================== The following is a brief list of some of the infractions that have occurred over the last few seasons. We respectfully ask that you please read them & take them to heart. Driver Conduct (A compilation of the most common infractions) * If for any reason you are late to the grid or fail to leave the grid with the pack, you may not regain your starting position. You will start from the back. * If the pace car lights are flashing, you must follow under all circumstances. (e.g., bringing group through pit lane, controlling group for multiple laps, etc.) * When behind the pace car, keep pace with the cars around you to avoid holding up the group. * Tire scrubbing is not allowed when cars are side-by-side. * Check your gauges twice a lap. Help prevent lost fluids and lost track-time. * The safest way to pass is with a point-by. Give a point-by as often as you can. (Passing is detailed on Page 1 of the CSRG Driver Handbook) * If you see a RED flag, immediately slow and check your mirrors. Come to a complete stop as soon as you can do so safely, and within sight of a flag stand. Stopped on a red flag you may turn off your engine, but do not remove your seatbelts, helmet, or any other safety gear. Await flagger signal to continue. * If you see a BLUE & YELLOW flag, check your mirrors and be aware that you are about to be passed. You do not need to lift or move over, just be aware that there is a faster car approaching. * If you deviate (spin, four wheels off, pass under yellow, contact) or if you see a standing black flag (sometimes accompanied by a finger point or a number board) you must report to the Black Flag station immediately. * Do not cross the track unless you have clear direction by a course marshal to do so. For example, at Sonoma if you spin exiting T11 and end up in the middle, you may not cross into the pit lane until directed to do so. * Altercations both verbal and physical should be avoided at all costs. Report any altercations to the Race Director or a CSRG Board Member immediately. Do not try to resolve the situation yourself. Click here to see a larger, printable version: Driver Conduct If you have not read the CSRG Driver Handbook please do so. If you have, please consider re-reading it to refresh your memory. It contains valuable information about exactly what CSRG expects of its drivers, and how to be a welcome participant at any track event. http://bit.ly/CSRG_driver_handbook ============================================== Digital Links There are a lot of CSRG related videos on YouTube, but did you know that CSRG also has a YouTube Channel?

The reason for mentioning it is that those of you who ask to be moved out of G8 & into G2 or G3 may have to change tires to be legal in those other groups. ============================================= [Image removed by sender.] Click here to go to the HMP site: HMP ============================================== Production Car Sub-Groups Unless you request otherwise, the default class group for Production Cars (i.e. Race Groups 1, 2, 3 & some cars in 8) will be 'C'---that being cars conforming to the 1972 rules set. However, if you feel your car qualifies under an earlier (1962 or 1967) rules set , you may have your car reviewed by the appropriate individual listed in the table below. The A, B & C Classes are: 'A'=prepped to 1962 rules 'B'=prepped to 1967 rules 'C'=prepped to 1972 & newer) Important: All three "classes", will be timed and scored in a way that will show their overall position & their position within the class.

They rode with me to my racing trips until I no longer had a cassette player in my tow vehicle. What a great group of guys who added to the weekend fun. It is always surprising to learn of someone's talent. You can't see the harmonica in the group photo that John was playing when not singing also. After Bill's untimely death I don't believe this happened anymore.

Thank you very much for sharing these songs, Tony. They are absolutely wonderful. What a pleasure to hear them. Who wrote the lyrics? Real treasures. Really nice and smooth guitar too. Hoagy Carmichael wrote Georgia, a great modern/classic. This arrangement, with appropriate lyrics is very enjoyable. Again, thanks for sharing these. I will indeed download them and include them in my shuffled music play list. When I was a kid attending Catholic school near Cleveland, Ohio, even the nuns knew of Hoagy Carmichael, but I didn't at the time. They always mentioned him when I was introduced to them. I wish I had become involved in racing Triumphs a few years earlier. I would have so enjoyed seeing and hearing these guys play during a race weekend. I'm sure that knowing Jack just a little would have been really sweet too. "Porsches aren't allowed in heaven".

I'm looking for some help in this planning stuff. I'm trying to figure out paddock space and other things for the race weekend. With all the Covid-19 stuff going on I really don't have a handle on how many people are planning on showing up. I am asking that if you have registered for the race with SVRA and you are not planning on attending could you please shoot me an email direct at trmarty at hotmail.com and let me know? If you have already notified me no need to do it again. I don't want to turn this into an on line discussion about all the reasons for or against, just drop me a line so I can accommodate those that are coming in the best possible way. I am still hoping to be able to give some meaningful updates in the next couple of weeks but so far the track has refused to comment to me. SVRA sent out that well thought out reply a week or so ago that I forwarded to you and I expect some additional details from them shortly.

I talked to Ken Gilanders about it, he said that is what you want, use an angle grinder to make notches in the block for clearance. I think you need to grind two, maybe three webs. It is much easier if you remember to do that before you take the block to the machine shop and get it cleaned!

It wasn't unexpected since this style crank doesn't have the same profile as a stock crankshaft. I was working with a "new" block anyway so I had the machine shop do a test fitting before full prep and it really wasn't a big issue. mike h On Fri, May 1, 2020 at 6:36 AM yellow04 via Fot wrote: > FWIW, the Moldex crank I bought back back in the early 2000's has > counterweights that foul the webbing in the block as well.

I?d like them to go to someone who might need them. They are in excellent condition. I replaced them on my 4A when I converted to the R-200 diff and Goodparts CV axles. I also have a pair of modified 4A trailing arms (they are different than TR6 trailing arms, not sure what 250?s used) for these axles with Keensert inserts installed for the 6 hub mounting studs. Make me an offer if interested. Will consider selling axles and hubs separately. Note, if interested for a TR6 you must modify your trailing arms for U-joint clearance. The 4A trailing arms have a different bump stop arrangement and will not work on a TR6. Regards, JVV -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Van: "fot" Aan: "fot" Cc: "Joe Flower II" Verzonden: Vrijdag 1 mei 2020 00:29:19 Onderwerp: [Fot] Moldex Crankshaft I ordered a Triumph TR4 billet crankshaft from Moldex by phone from Joe Flowers in June 2017. I received it in September 2017. At my next engine rebuild, in March of 2019, I installed the crank in the prepared engine block. It would not completely rotate as the counterweight hit the engine block. The counterweights had not been completely machined. I returned the crank to Moldex after a phone call to Joe Flower to discuss the problem. In about 2-1/2 weeks I received the crank back. I finished the engine rebuild, took the engine off the engine stand and proceeded to bolt the flywheel on. Only three of the four tapped holes in the crank were completely tapped. The fourth had about 2 or 3 threads and that is all. We broke a tap off in the hole trying to manually tap it through. I again called Joe, disassembled the engine, and shipped the crank back to Moldex for completion. I received it back again in about 2-1/2 weeks. Reassembled the engine and raced in three weekends in 2019, no problems. I called Joe in April 2019 and asked to be reimbursed for the $130 in shipping costs to ship the crank back to him for completion, twice. Since April 2019 I have called about 10 times to ask to recover the shipping costs. Twice I was told a check had been sent. I have not received the $130 as of this date. This is a cautionary tale for those who are thinking of buying a billet crankshaft from Moldex.

Compression on cyl no1 is 9.5 bar and on cyl 2 it is 8 bar. The compression on the other cylinders is between 12 and 13.5 bar. This is with a race cam with a valve overlap of 110? (320-F grind). Because of the high overlap, the piston has risen a lot before the inlet valve is closed, so I did the compression test again, but with a valve lash of 2.5mm/0.1" : compression went from 9.5 bar to 14.5 on cyl no 1 and from 8 bar to 15 on cyl no 2. With this valve lash, the compression on the other cylinders went up to 16 - 18.5 bar. Of course, when the engine is running at high rpm, a lot of valve overlap is necessary for best cylinder filling, but I wonder if 110? isn't too much?? The recommended valve lash is 0.40mm/0.016" when the rocker ratio is 1.45(0.43mm/ with my 1.55 roller rockers). Would it be risky to set the valve lash at some 0.05mm/0.002" higher? PS : is it common practice to set the valve lash at a couple of mm to perform a compression test, because it seems that the valve lash has a lot of influence on the result when testing a race camshaft?

It is NOT a Fidanza brand. The steel ring gear is thru bolted not sealed with a bolt 1/2 in the aluminum and the other 1/2 in the ring gear. Custom done correctly so it won't separate down the road. I have gone to a Tilton hydraulic slave/release bearing set up. All my stuff has to be between 0.175 -0.250 between the clutch fingers and the release bearing. Ive gone with steel flywheels so all the engines can just bolt the tranny on and not have to readjust the spacing. So now I have this really nice flywheel and won't be using it.

I think the man who has put the big valves in it, has taken too much risks : the valve seats (the rings that are pressed into the cyl head) are small where they do meet, and maybe the seats are distorted a bit because of this, but I don't know for sure, I will see when pulling the head.

Any idea's someone about that? The compression test with increased valve lash is much higher than with the recommended valve lash : I wonder if it is making any sense at all to check the compression of a race engine without increasing the valve lash : with the normal clearances, the inlet valve is closing when the piston has already travelled a lot upwards, hence the big difference between the compression test results with normal and with increased valve lash.

Checking at 0.050" would result in much lower overlap. Installed at 103?(=advanced a bit) , inlet valve is opening 53? before TDC and exhaust valve is closing at 57? after TDC. But 110? is a lot of overlap :the BFE24 grind has 112? but most racecams are between 95 and 105? it seems. The cam in my engine is installed at 104?, I'm thinking of trying to advance it to 100? ; then the inlet valve is closing earlier. Now the engine has a REAL 210 hp, with the leaking valves and I'm just starting the testing on my engine dyno. People who are racing TR6 engines are easily talking about 230 and 250hp but you never know what that means. But 210? is disappointing, it should go up, more so because the displacement is 2720cc (evenly spaced bores of 78mm) Marcel Van: "Scott Janzen" Aan: "van mulders marcel" Cc: "tr4racing" , "fot" Verzonden: Zaterdag 2 mei 2020 23:36:31 Onderwerp: Re: [Fot] Valve overlap and compression test Maercel, I?m puzzled.

I think the man who has put the big valves in it, has taken too much risks : the valve seats (the rings that are pressed into the cyl head) are small where they do meet, and maybe the seats are distorted a bit because of this, but I don't know for sure, I will see when pulling the head. I know one cannot change the valve clearance too much, but maybe 0.05mm more valve lash is ok and it will reduce the valve overlap. I believe 110? overlap is a lot, even for a racecamshaft. Any idea's someone about that? The compression test with increased valve lash is much higher than with the recommended valve lash : I wonder if it is making any sense at all to check the compression of a race engine without increasing the valve lash : with the normal clearances, the inlet valve is closing when the piston has already travelled a lot upwards, hence the big difference between the compression test results with normal and with increased valve lash. So I think, if you want to test the compression, you have to increase the valve lash firstly(at least when the engine has a race camshaft).

What about the 75 lb box of old front hubs? Gotta be a good one in there!? How about old transmissions?? An aftermarket vinyl TR-4-6 Hardtop?? It nearly fits! I don't want to sound nasty, but the existence of these parts is threatened unless you step up! I can't talk about this with my wife and my brother would have melted it all down 10 years ago.? Right now all this stuff is in Albuquerque, but considering my inability to make difficult life choices, it will all wind up in a storage unit in Salt lake about July 15th. ?

Difficult for me to compare, as all of the cam opening/closing data I have is at 50/1000, not the recommended operating clearances. I do agree with Phil Gott?s email that the compression numbers are primarily useful as relative checks against each other. If something is out of line it indicates an issue.

Checking at 0.050" would result in much lower overlap. Installed at 103?(=advanced a bit) , inlet valve is opening 53? before TDC and exhaust valve is closing at 57? after TDC. But 110? is a lot of overlap :the BFE24 grind has 112? but most racecams are between 95 and 105? it seems. The cam in my engine is installed at 104?, I'm thinking of trying to advance it to 100? ; then the inlet valve is closing earlier. Now the engine has a REAL 210 hp, with the leaking valves and I'm just starting the testing on my engine dyno. People who are racing TR6 engines are easily talking about 230 and 250hp but you never know what that means. But 210? is disappointing, it should go up, more so because the displacement is 2720cc (evenly spaced bores of 78mm) Marcel Van: "Scott Janzen" Aan: "van mulders marcel" Cc: "tr4racing" , "fot" Verzonden: Zaterdag 2 mei 2020 23:36:31 Onderwerp: Re: [Fot] Valve overlap and compression test Maercel, I?m puzzled. Are you referring to the lobe separation angle, or to the overlap between the intake valve opening before TDC and the exhaust valve closing after TDC on the same revolution? Unless I?m reading them wrong, I?ve looked at some pretty radical cam specs and the opening/closing overlap does not approach 110 degrees, more like 50 degrees on a really aggressive cam, but the lobe separation angle is about 104 degrees on the cam I have in the car and 107 on the cam I?m putting in another engine.

I think the man who has put the big valves in it, has taken too much risks : the valve seats (the rings that are pressed into the cyl head) are small where they do meet, and maybe the seats are distorted a bit because of this, but I don't know for sure, I will see when pulling the head. I know one cannot change the valve clearance too much, but maybe 0.05mm more valve lash is ok and it will reduce the valve overlap. I believe 110? overlap is a lot, even for a racecamshaft. Any idea's someone about that? The compression test with increased valve lash is much higher than with the recommended valve lash : I wonder if it is making any sense at all to check the compression of a race engine without increasing the valve lash : with the normal clearances, the inlet valve is closing when the piston has already travelled a lot upwards, hence the big difference between the compression test results with normal and with increased valve lash.

I was a bit amazed to see Kastner Cup is still scheduled our large local track is planning to re-open for very limited use next week; basically private practise and such like, with strict rules re social distancing. another nearbye track operator has told us that he cannot get insurance coverage for any sort of event until the Government removes all forms of restrictions on gatherings, so thats what is stopping him opening, and possibly many other similar tracks.

Been speaking with a very colorful cast of characters on this build. Shumacher, Slagle, Tullius, Brannon, Jeff Young, Todd Kitsbach are all on the email list! Building to Slagle specs with Group 44 livery. Thanks? ? Can I get a second? ? Thanks Paul ? _______________________________________________ fot at autox.team.net http://www.fot-racing.com Donate: http://www.team.net/donate.html Archive: http://autox.team.net/archive http://www.team.net/pipermail/fot Unsubscribe/Manage: http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/fot/quikrx at yahoo.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Nothing about racetracks yet but I'm sure bigger fish are in the fire. I would expect more releases as time goes on. I have been in contact with SVRA and Mid-Ohio and they are anticipating the Kastner Cup taking place. Things are still in a bit of uncertainty but I'm hoping for the best. I will post changes as I hear them from SVRA and the track. Marty ________________________________ From: Fot on behalf of T. R.

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <637019605.265946.1589555120112@connect.xfinity.com> I recently disassembled the engine from my TR3 and the rear main area was dry. This was my first TR engine build. I used the orange RTV and carefully watched it just squeeze through gaps and cracks around the bearing cap as I installed the rope covered in RTV. That is the only place I used the orange RTV on the engine or anywhere else. I made a rope install tool just like Kas suggests in his book. What I did find was that the front engine plate was leaking between the plate and engine at the bottom. Oil from this leak makes it's way all over the oil pan and drips off the bolts and back from there. Also, my trans front seal was leaking and that slings fluid around inside the bell housing then drips out the hole at the bottom. The slinging oil also finds it's way out around the clutch fork shaft exiting the bell housing. These two leaks made it difficult to tell if the rear main was leaking or not. I also found trans fluid coming from one of the bolts holding the tail housing on. These obviously need to be sealed up better than they were. At least the rear main wasn't leaking. I'll be more confident installing the rope seal this time around.

They are helpful. It is sad to hear of the cancellations. Good for VARA making it possible to allow people a choice. Those that feel comfortable going to track can go, and those who do not can choose not to go. Sounds American to me. We own a business that has been damaged by many of the decisions that that the government has made. The two previously stated reason for registrations being down in this thread: Financial and Fear of COVID. There are more reasons fo it, than just those two. We have a 3rd reason for not registering: The policies and procedures that are having to be put in place for an event to happen. We have a lot of respect for the race organizers at SVRA, VSCDA, Midwest Council and a few others. They are dealing with a lot to make events a possibility. However, we feel that the insurance companies, the government agencies and others are really over reaching with some of the policies that they are recommending or forcing on business owners. Therefore, we are not entering events until all of this settles down. We value our time at the track very highly. We enjoy the track time and we especially the time with people whose company we really enjoy. We feel that the polices that are in place will detract greatly from both of those things happening. Again, we do not fault the organizations for what they are doing. We just will not participate based on some of the procedures and polices being put in place. Hopefully, there are brighter times ahead for those of who enjoy motorsports. Kind of like the golfers that we see out on courses when we drive-by courses in the area (BTW-We do not play golf). Seems like Covid does not exist for those who play golf, it is business as usual for them. Look forward to seeing people at the track in the future.

All Covid19-related procedures are at the behest of the state and the track owner and are required to be enforced by the sponsoring clubs. No track owner or club can take a chance on being found to operate illegally. None of us have a choice in this matter, there is no negotiation involved (esp. since schedules are overfilled): you can follow track rules or not have an event. If you are going racing this year, you are going to find new constraints everywhere in the country. The VSCDA Covid document closely mirrors SCCA, Midwestern Council, AMA and SVRA guidelines.

Hasty) Date: Mon, 18 May 2020 02:40:42 +0000 Subject: [Fot] Fwd: 2020 VARAC Release Message-ID: John, Henry: You asked me to take a look at the VARAC release. I generally agree with Dale?s analysis of the waiver, and as Gary observed, all but Section 1 is what insurance companies have been asking us to sign over the years. First let?s all understand that waviers/releases/covenants not so sue relating to events which are to happen in the future are generally enforceable except for acts on the part of the releases of reckless, intentional or gross negligence. (in other words some act on the part of the sanctioning body and its agents which no reasonable person would have anticipated to expose themselves to by entering the event) Other than Section 1, the release is over-broad on purpose placing layers of attempted release language which can be used by defense counsel (of which I am one) to delay and as a result increase the costs of pursuing litigation against the sanctioning body. It also plants in the participant?s mind that it would be useless to attempt action for injuries he/she may have received. (By mentioning increased costs, I would comment that these could be in the tens of thousands of dollars) Now, let?s talk about Section 1. First, set the stage. All scientific information available to us today says that for us to practice safety from the virus we should shelter at home, practice social distances of 6 feet from other individuals while on necessary trips to obtain essential items such as food etc. and wear a mask when near others. In addition the states have instituted various executive orders declaring what enterprises are safe conduct in the virus infected atmosphere. Participating in racing events to my knowledge is not one of them. In the face of these facts come VSCDA, SVRA, SCCA and perhaps others who wish to stage events where hundreds of people will mingle with one another and compete in a relatively limited area. On the question of whether their desires to stage these events are as a result of the overwhelming clamor from their members to stage events in this virus pandemic or because of their own financial interests I will not opine. So, how do these sanctioning bodies entice people to disobey the advice of the scientific community and attend their events? They come up with a long list of things, changes to normal policy, that they are going to enforce in order to make it safe for you to come to their event. No driver?s meeting, no social events, sanitizing this thing and that thing, pages of actions that they will take to make it safe for you to attend their event. But how do the sanctioning bodies protect themselves from the claims of people who relied on their representations that it would be safe to attend their events who do in fact become infected with the virus or some other injury? Enter Section 1 which, in spite of the sanction bodies representations of safety, places the burden on you to determine whether you ?feel safe? to be at the event. There is also the issue of what responsibility would be attributed to you should you be a carrier of the virus which infected another person? It has never been clear to me whether these sanctioning bodies carry participant liability insurance or whether such off track liability would be covered, but you should be aware of this potential liability as well. Whether Section 1 would be enforceable given the representations of safety made by the sanctioning bodies would be an issue, but here again an issue which could cost you thousands of dollars to try and overcome in a court of law. Again, I do not opine on whether the sanctioning bodies should be encouraging people to enter their events or whether it is reasonable and one should, as the release states, ?feel safe? under the present conditions to participate in these events. It?s entirely up to you. [cid:image001.png at 01D62C90.227B0A50] John H. Hasty Attorney at Law Mullen Holland & Cooper P.A. 301 S. York St., P.O.

The waiver protects drivers and their crew as well as the club and track from participant lawsuits. A driver defendant may lose the protection if he/she 1) does not feel safe and runs anyway and if 2) the driver does not follow anything in the complex new package of safety rules (which may include an implied duty to rat on other participants who do not follow all the rules). This is not good. Best practice is an Indy style waiver and a separate agreement on new safety rules with specified penalties for breach. > > Dale Oesterle > - Sent from iPad > >>> On May 17, 2020, at 10:42 PM, John H.

I am selling the former Abacus Racing BRG TR3 (TS57917L). There was a video of Mike Jackson and Bill Thummel racing at Mid Ohio posted here earlier in the year. Bill won the race on Sat but Mike took it on Sunday. It has a ready to assemble engine and a non-overdrive gearbox, with stock TR3 rear end. It has 5 good panasport wheels. Abacus took a clean no rust street car and converted it for vintage racing in 1991. The SVRA logbook shows 28 races from 1991 to 1997. Abacus then took the engine and gearbox for their TR4. The car sat in a dry garage until I purchased it last year. I intended to make a race car for my son in law and my grandson, or even turn it back to a streetcar. I have since found some Turners that I think will be better for them, and the TR3 is now available with parts. I purchased a ready to assemble engine from Dave Spiwak and that will go with the car for what I paid Dave (list attached) It comes with a very nice sandblasted and painted TR3 frame. It has a New Mexico title. The car looks solid, and has a heavy sway bar in the front. All instruments are there, including an overdrive button on the steering wheel. There is a small dent in the left rear fender which looks like it can be banged out. I have a fiberglass tunnel. The roll bar includes door impact protection. Abacus was very successful with the car. More info and photos available. Roller and frame for $5500. Engine ready to assemble $5000 (pls see attachment - I paid $5K, Dave spent $7721), and the additional below parts I purchased from Dave ($535): Fidanza flywheel $200 Tilton clutch $150 Starter $70 Auto Pro Rev Limiter $15 Detroit Locker $100 I was quoted $1000 to $1500 for engine assembly by Abacus Machine shop. Car needs a fuel cell, tires, brake rebuild, and normal stuff done after a car has been sitting. Car and frame are in Va Bch, engine parts are still in PA and I will pick up or have shipped as soon as Dave can get home. So everything totals $11,350. I prefer it all to go together. Anyone interested? Thanks, Hank Hank Giffin 757-375-1491 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

They confirmed yes it is a non spectator event but you can indeed purchase overcrew, no limit. Probably within reason though. After I got confirmation I checked the Mid-Ohio website and low and behold you can buy tickets. To further confuse things I had told the locals that it was now a non spectator event so one of them contacted the track yesterday for a refund on a ticket he had purchased on line. Mid-Ohio told him spectators are welcome. So it this point I have no idea, I give up on this one. There have been some questions regarding camping.

I hadn't had a physical in many years, just surgical patch jobs on a couple of joints. These days licensing requires an annual physical and EKG and I have no complaints. Racing changed my life for the better in a lot of ways and watching my health is one of them. After that first physical they put me on a statin drug for high Cholesterol and later high blood pressure medicine. I did not like being on a statin so I changed my diet, started taking an herbal supplement and got my cholesterol under control to get off the drug. Due to family history of heart issues I still have to take HBP medicine. I started cycling about 10 years later and fixed both. There is a book out there called "Younger Next Year". I highly recommend it.

I have it from a reliable source that the virus protocols currently being drafted up for the upcoming Mid-Ohio race will require mask be worn when not race geared up. Don't freak out, this is consistent with what other race venues are doing. It is what it is. That being said, you don't want to show up with some hokey cloth our your grandmothers babushka draped across your chin. No, you want to show some FOT class don't you! Well my friends I have solved your problem. Remember that Lands End storefront I set up for us last year? They have mask! With the FOT insignia!! I'm not sure how it will look or how they will fit it on a mask but what the heck, I want to be one of the cool (and safe) kids.

We now have the ability of purchasing FOT bling. There is now a FOT store front on the Lands End Business website. See the instructions below for a link. This is for getting the FOT logo embroidered on any item in their catalog. It is not for silk screened items. I am starting with the black and white coat of arms that was used in the 2012 special shirt run. Once you run through the sequence a time or two it is pretty simple. I have tried to explain it below. I have used Land Ends Business for other car clubs store fronts and it is top quality and best of all you can return things. Give it a try. Marty Sukey 1, go to https://business.landsend.com/store/fot/ 2, set up an account for yourself and log in. 3, pick an item you might want. 4, click on apply logo, 5, select the FOT logo, 6,if you want, select change colors. Here you can experiment with changing colors on the logo to better suit the color of shirt you pick. If you hit select new colors you will get a drop down with multiple boxes. Try putting a different color in each box and see how it effects the logo. Then you can tweak it as needed. 7, select location. 8, hit apply logo. 9, hit cancel or add to bag. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The event was a fundraiser for the UHP, with the money going into the Fallen Heroes Fund or whatever it was actually called, which provided financial assistance to families of troopers who were killed in the line of duty. The kicker on this event was that the drivers would pay a "fine" of $1 per mph clocked at the finish. After already shelling out something like 5 grand for the entry fee. > > Anyway, a few cars after that Bitchin' Camaro the jeweler's son took off in the Enzo. We had spotters along the route at many of the mileposts, and they would radio in a quick word when a car passed there station. A rough guess based on the time between spotters calling in the Ferrari's position was that it was closing in on 200 mph. The spotter who saw it at the end said it hit a small rise in the road, got airborne and when the front wheels hit the ground they were pointed in a different direction than the rest of the car. So it went sideways and rolled 6 - 7 times. At 200 mph. The car disintegrated, leaving major chunks scattered along the side of the road for about a mile and a half. Left rear quarter over there, engine and gearbox there, and so on. But as you can see from the picture, the passenger compartment, the carbon fiber roll cage, was intact and in one piece. Some fine engineering. Driver was banged up and bruised, but not as badly as one might expect given the details of the mishap. > > And over a period of the next few years a local shop pieced the car back together, making some changes and the driver ended up setting a land speed record in the car out at the Salt Flats. > > And oddly enough, Rich and I were not contacted about assisting with the event the following year. > > mjb. > > > _______________________________________________ > fot at autox.team.net > > http://www.fot-racing.com > > Donate: http://www.team.net/donate.html > Archive: http://autox.team.net/archive http://www.team.net/pipermail/fot > Unsubscribe/Manage: http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/fot/dlhogye at comcast.net > > From tr4abrad at gmail.com Tue May 19 21:08:04 2020 From: tr4abrad at gmail.com (Brad Eells) Date: Tue, 19 May 2020 20:08:04 -0700 Subject: [Fot] FOT SWAG MASK In-Reply-To: <784348971.1742326.1589921068913@mail.yahoo.com> References: <784348971.1742326.1589921068913@mail.yahoo.com> Message-ID: Balaclavas for all!

That being said, you don't want to show up with some hokey cloth our your grandmothers babushka draped across your chin. No, you want to show some FOT class don't you! Well my friends I have solved your problem. Remember that Lands End storefront I set up for us last year? They have mask! With the FOT insignia!! I'm not sure how it will look or how they will fit it on a mask but what the heck, I want to be one of the cool (and safe) kids.

We now have the ability of purchasing FOT bling. There is now a FOT store front on the Lands End Business website. See the instructions below for a link. This is for getting the FOT logo embroidered on any item in their catalog. It is not for silk screened items. I am starting with the black and white coat of arms that was used in the 2012 special shirt run. Once you run through the sequence a time or two it is pretty simple. I have tried to explain it below. I have used Land Ends Business for other car clubs store fronts and it is top quality and best of all you can return things. > > > > Give it a try. > > > > Marty Sukey > > > > 1, go to https://business.landsend.com/store/fot/ > > 2, set up an account for yourself and log in. > > 3, pick an item you might want. > > 4, click on apply logo, > > 5, select the FOT logo, > > 6,if you want, select change colors. Here you can experiment with changing colors on the logo to better suit the color of shirt you pick. If you hit select new colors you will get a drop down with multiple boxes.

The heavier the flywheel, the lower the harmonic frequency will be. The flywheel contributes a significant amount to the total rotating inertia due to its weight and that the weight is at greater radius than the other rotating masses. Inertia increases as the square of the radius. It is not a linear function of the radius. An RPM of 5200 was mentioned as the harmonic resonance. I had always heard that it was more like 6300 RPM. I have never seen a calculation for it. It would be complex. Note that lighter pistons and connecting rods would tend to lower the harmonic frequency as they would reduce the inertia in the engine.

In our history, some of the Kastner Cups were small intimate events where good friends got together, raced together, and had a good time. This can be one of those events. ?Significant?. We had Kas at Mid-Ohio in 2002. It was the start of something very important to many of us. Ideally, ?The Return to Mid-Ohio? would have been 2022, but it didn?t seem like a good idea to wait for combined anniversary of the 1st Big Triumph event in 1992 (the 50th Anniversary of Triumphs in Competition) and the 20th Anniversary of the Kastner Cup. So let?s put ?Best? and ?Significant? together and just do it. It won?t be the major production that was originally conceived, but that?s out of our control. But we can do what we can to Honor Kas? Contribution to the Motorsports World, with the people that are able to be there. It will also be an opportunity for you guys to discuss the future of ?Triumph Focus Events?. It doesn?t have to end at Mid-Ohio. It shouldn?t. But it can be re-invented into something very significant. Kastner Cup II. The FOT and the Kastner Cup has quietly garnered recognition and respect on a global level. We have the best and most significant people in the sport. When we go to Watkins Glen, Road Atlanta, Road America, and Mid-Ohio, the GATE is huge. And usually we have more fun than any other groups. So the 18th Running of the Kastner Cup promises to be the Best and most Significant. We have Clark Lincoln?s Poster and Shirt artwork, plenty of room in the paddock, and our friends at hand. What more could we ask for. See you there, if you can....all of you.

I believe this is a reality in the case of the 4 cyl TR crank. The heavy flywheel is there for smoother running, I don't know if there are other advantages? As you know (i.e. of the books of Kas Kastner), the harmonics of the 6 cyl TR crank are much more detrimental with high levering loads on the flywheel bolts. Maybe the front pulley can be made lighter when the flywheel is lighter. Respectfully yours, Marcel Van Mulders.

I'll start the spit-balling I think and I think that Joe thinks we need to develop a plan to keep us getting together. I'll start with the fear because it can be overcome if we face it now. I ride MS150's. I've done 9 years in a row until this year. Both the Houston/ to Austin and the Dallas to Ft Worth rides were both cancelled this year. When you do these 180 mile rides it is best to be on a team. The Team I began riding with is no more. The founder, lead organizer, and facilitator of the 35 member team passed away a few years ago. It was a tragic, unexpected loss. His "Wheels of Love Team" faltered because there was not a clear path forward. There were some questions as to whether his wife wanted the team to continue and without his leadership the team has just faded. It was built around his leadership.We have had that type of leadership and legacy in the Kastner Cup with Kas and Joe. If we are going to keep this going we need a leader who can organize and facilitate, and inspire participation. That person has to have the time and the wherewithal to do it and the support of the rest of us. We have to want this to continue and we have to show up to keep it going. Observations: Smaller 20 something car events, like the the Hallett and Eagles Canyon K-Cups are fun but for me, larger participation numbers are even more fun. We are getting older and some have and others will retire from racing. Will we continue to have enough racers to keep the K-Cup viable? We are spread out all across America and unlike Europe, it is unrealistic to expect us all to get together once a year. Is there a place we could do that? If the K-Cup is to be "retired" , what will be the focus of the next "cup". Should we consider collecting an All British race group like the Euro's do? We have an obvious turning point after this race. We don't have to try to do the exact same thing going forward. How else could we keep this going? Like I said, spit-balling.

One thing that he said helped was making the flywheel and harmonic damper as close to the same weight as possible. He used some big American car damper. They had trouble making maximum RPM and ran the engine on a dyno with a strobe light on the flywheel and noticed a severe flex to the crank. They increased the damper weight and the vibration was reduced giving close to 1,000 more RPM. The cranks "wiggle" at high RPM. Matching the weight at both ends reduced that. They did blow the engine the next week when giving writers a test ride. I used this theory on my TR4A using a factory crank that I modified and lightened, I used an ATI custom damper and a lightened aluminum flywheel (less than 18 lbs for flywheel, PP and disc) and was able to turn the engine to 7,300. I also used a custom 1/4" plate bolted to the oil pan rail and across to the center main caps. Maybe some one can get more info on this theory.

I am partial to using a front pulley as light and small as possible (no damper) and also a huge fan of light weight flywheels and small diameter clutches for this very reason. The most expensive thing you can do to help your the problem is a super light crankshaft. I recently build a motor for a guy with a custom crank that knocked off 12 lbs and I could tell the difference on the dyno before it ever went in the car, the typical vibrations were gone. I asked the driver after his first session how he liked the motor and the only thing he kept saying was "it's so smooth" over and over, it audibly sounded different on track as well, crazy. The really bad part is when the Harmonic frequency gets transferred to the valve train, then you will have a serious disaster. 4 cylinders are known for this problem and some guys won't even run one on their Dyno and I personally have thrown more flywheels off on the Dyno than I would care to admit and this very problem has forced me to look at the options if for no other reason than to make my life easier. Not looking for work here but I would be willing to build a crank for anyone wanting to take their stuff to the next level but it would cost about $3000.

I'm guessing it's fiberglass. Good looking car. The FB post says the trailer was recovered but the car is gone. I have often wondered about stolen race cars and why they were stolen. More often that not it seems they are after the trailers and or tools, not so much the car. In this case they kept the car. What do you do? strip it for parts, certainly not show up at a track and race it with another paint job. I don't have anything on my trailer to suggest there is a race car inside. A drag racer friend of mine paints his car number on the roof of the trailer. A thief wouldn't know it and law enforcement can identify it from the air. Very helpful if you have a GPS tracker. jim g -----Original Message----- From: Fot On Behalf Of Barr, Scott via Fot Sent: Friday, May 22, 2020 8:50 AM To: fot at autox.team.net Subject: Re: [Fot] Stolen Spitfire, San Francisco area Wow!

It appears you can spread Covid 19 and not know you are sick. What if you are one of those folks that then go home an give it to your family? As of today there 1.61 million cases in the US with deaths at 95,213 or a death rate 5.9%. Over this weekend we will pass 100,000 dead. Covid is killing people in all age groups, no one should consider themselves ?low risk?. This virus is like playing Russian Roulette with an automatic. It is clear that the US national strategy is to open up and either get a vaccine in 18-24 months or achieve ?Herd Immunity? which requires some 60-70% of the population to have lived through being sick in order to develop antibodies against the virus. The numbers needed to get to Herd Immunity roughly require 200,000,000 Americans to have had the virus. If people die at the current rate of 5.9% then some ?11,000,000 people would perish in getting to Herd Immunity. Even if better treatments and the demise of very high risk people cut the death rate to just 1%, we would see some 2,000,000 people die of Covid. Someone once said that if wishing were so, pigs could fly. You can cross your fingers this going to get better in June in the Midwest but all the indications are quite the opposite. We opened the country in mid May to varying degrees (not right or wrong, just fact) and infection rate numbers and death rates are likely to significantly rise in June. It takes a couple of weeks before people start showing up sick at their locale hospitals. We are all big boys and girls and we get to make our own decisions. I think this decision should be made on sound medical science and fact, not what we would like to have happen. I have a couple of good doctor friends, until they are willing to go back racing after what they are seeing in their hospitals, I will not return to the track as much as I want to. I wish all the very best of luck. Ken -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

In truth the whole pandemic thing has me thinking about my health in general, looking at the long term picture.? Sure, I am diabetic, but it is not to the point of daily blood sugar testing, just every three months or so go in and see the doctor with a quick A1C blood test.? Will I improve, or get worse?? I'll be checking out that "Younger Next Year" book previously mentioned. Of course being only 66 years old now makes me a youngster compared to some on this list. The gist of it has me questioning my goals.? Is it really worth it for me to return Killer to the track, and take on full fledged wheel to wheel vintage racing again, or should I ease off and just put together a nice, peppy streetable driver that can handle an autocross or two?? There's no easy way to objectively measure effort put in versus rewards gained.? It is a question of spirit, of adventure, excitement, a question of following your heart balanced with the real world. I've posted this before in various venues, I really wish I knew who wrote it.? I'm not into motorcycles, but this transcends the hardware, and gets right into it.? Where lays the heart, where lays the soul of an old dinosaur like me? ===== As I watch the Japanese crotch-rockets blasting the circuits, I am suffused with a distilled sense of wonder, and I marvel; these men and women are so skilled, perfect machines riding on perfect machines.? Their bikes are precision instruments built by precision instruments, sold in their multitude to the techno-dazed. About ten years ago, I was out earholing on a norton-racer-road in coastal Marin county (north of San Francisco) on my '75 Commando. Rolled up to a stop sign.? A guy on an old 500cc BSA thumper came around the corner facing me, leaned through the corner, dialed up the wick, and thumped on up the hill.? I shut nort down to listen to the sound of that long-stroke single haul that hill.? I was thrilled; I could feel the sound through the soles of my boots. All these years later, when I remember that sound, that fine sound, I choke, and tears fill my eyes.? As that quiet thump, thump, thump, faded up the hill, me and nort sat and thought of dinosaurs. It was a good day to think about dinosaurs, one of those crisp, perfect Marin autumn days.? Back then, me and my dinosaur could still swat the Japanese flies buzzing around the hills, those primordial crotch-rockets, awesome machines that have come to be so strong, strong enough to eat me and nort for breakfast. These ten years gone, I'm now flogging that British oil-bath around the Rockies.? But the king is dead (long live the king!), and I'm the dinosaur now, breathing the last breath of extinction; fading quietly, thump, thump, thump up that hill.? But I wonder, where went the soul, where went the art, where went the heart?

You want to go racing, I get that, so do I. But keep in mind what you are asking others to do so you may go racing. Dozens of support crew from corner workers, tech inspectors and more will have to travel, most inside a giant metal tube thousands feet in the air for a couple of hours that is packed with others of unknown health status. Then they land and get to ride in a rental car with two or three others to a hotel where they will share a confined space for eight hours or so sucking in the snores of the other occupant. rinse, lather and repeat and head back home. I get that no one is forcing them to go and that each person must make this choice for themselves. I don?t know about the "sky is falling" but casket sales are certainly up this past quarter. Whether or not you think you will get Covid, or you?re not in the high risk group or whatever, we have lost 94,500 souls in the last few months. If you think the numbers are misrepresented then go ahead and chop that number in half? 47, 000 people, in three or four months. It is a real concern and YES, people do die everyday but this is about it being CONTAGIOUS. I.E. You making the choice for others. Being hit by lightning is not contagious.

I wear a mask when requested by the business. I don?t go over and hug folk. I don?t visit retirement homes. if I did, I?d wash up, wear a mask, and social distance as required. I recall a friend died of a bacteria around his heart many years ago, shortly after my dad?s death. The doctors said this particular bug likely came from his garden. In the years since, did I stop gardening? Did I lay awake at night thinking about what I might pick up in my garden and share with family and friends? Dad, on the other hand, had a heart attack after a day of skiing. You never know what?s going to take us. A best friend from high school died of pneumonia late last year as he tried to sleep off, alone, what he thought was a cold. Age 57. Really, look at the numbers. We can?t live in a bubble. Every year, it seems, someone I personally knew has died, long before Covid-19 came along, and, no doubt, it will continue long after. So far, none have passed from Covid-19 that I personally knew, but It could happen. Maybe it will be the guy in my mirror. This is not the pandemic where it?s so bad every family will be touched and it?s ok to leave leave bodies at the curb for pick up. It?s not playing russian roulette to try to get back to some semblance of normalcy. I beg you to not let the early predictions of this virus to lead you to not even admit your ?Russian Roulette with an automatic.? was way off base. And by the way, ?While you are getting through Covid with no problems?... you mean like how I?m unemployed with no prospects because what was supposed to be a short term chance to get our hospitals and emergency services prepared, so there?d be enough beds, masks, and ventilators has gone on well beyond the need? Your scare mongering is going ?to be a real bitch when someone we personally love? faces financial ruin, commits suicide, is victimized by predators, etc. because of the lockdown. How?s it feel to have people?s deaths laid on you like that? I wouldn?t have gone there. I believe you remain way off base, but we can agree to disagree. I only posted a response because I felt compelled to respond so that FOT members have a balance. Never be beaten by a virus! ?Justin > On May 22, 2020, at 1:45 PM, Ken Knight via Fot wrote: > > Well Justin you go for it and good luck to you.

Yet we all get on with our lives. ?Justin On May 22, 2020, at 10:26 AM, Kenneth Knight via Fot wrote: #yiv4035461173 #yiv4035461173 -- _filtered {}#yiv4035461173 #yiv4035461173 p.yiv4035461173MsoNormal, #yiv4035461173 li.yiv4035461173MsoNormal, #yiv4035461173 div.yiv4035461173MsoNormal {margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;font-size:11.0pt;}#yiv4035461173 a:link, #yiv4035461173 span.yiv4035461173MsoHyperlink {color:blue;text-decoration:underline;}#yiv4035461173 a:visited, #yiv4035461173 span.yiv4035461173MsoHyperlinkFollowed {color:purple;text-decoration:underline;}#yiv4035461173 span.yiv4035461173EmailStyle17 {color:windowtext;}#yiv4035461173 .yiv4035461173MsoChpDefault {} _filtered {}#yiv4035461173 div.yiv4035461173WordSection1 {}#yiv4035461173 The CDC just announced today that 35% of Covid cases are asymptomatic.? It appears you can spread Covid 19 and not know you are sick.? What if you are one of those folks that then go home an give it to your family? ? As of today there 1.61 million cases in the US with deaths at 95,213 or a death rate 5.9%.? Over this weekend we will pass 100,000 dead. ? Covid is killing people in all age groups, no one should consider themselves ?low risk?.? This virus is like playing Russian Roulette with an automatic. ? It is clear that the US national strategy is to open up and either get a vaccine in 18-24 months or achieve ?Herd Immunity? which requires some 60-70% of the population to have lived through being sick in order to develop antibodies against the virus. ? The numbers needed to get to Herd Immunity roughly require 200,000,000 Americans to have had the virus. ? If people die at the current rate of 5.9% then some ?11,000,000 people would perish in getting to Herd Immunity.? Even if better treatments and the demise of very high risk people cut the death rate to just 1%, we would see some 2,000,000 people die of Covid. ? Someone once said that if wishing were so, pigs could fly.? You can cross your fingers this going to get better in June in the Midwest but all the indications are quite the opposite.? We opened the country in mid May to varying degrees (not right or wrong, just fact) and infection rate numbers and death rates are likely to significantly rise in June.? It takes a couple of weeks before people start showing up sick at their locale hospitals. ? We are all big boys and girls and we get to make our own decisions.? I think this decision should be made on sound medical science and fact, not what we would like to have happen. ??I have a couple of good doctor friends, until they are willing to go back racing after what they are seeing in their hospitals, I will not return to the track as much as I want to.? I wish all the very best of luck. ?

It?s the oldest vehicle I?ve ever owned, by two years (had a ?49 ford pickup once) and I love working on it. It?s so simple, and plenty of space to get at everything. Plus, this came from the family of the original owner, has been garaged all its life, and while far from pristine, it?s not rusty. Garaged all its life. I haven?t stripped or sheered a bolt yet. So, the highlights - the engine has no oil filter. Just change the oil every 2000 miles, more on dirt roads (says the manual). Lever shocks all around. Vacuum wipers, no turn signals (not sure about brake lights), manually engaged starter solenoid through a floor button. Front wheel bearings are ball bearings!!!. 4.5?x16? wheels, skinny bias plies (with a date code of 1984, definitely due to replace those if I ever go over 25 mph). Right now the brakes are apart, shocks need to go to White Post for a rebuild, gas tank and radiator at the local shop. Here?s a question - the manual calls for straight 20w oil for the engine, 30 in the winter. Should I run 20w, or 10-30? Gear oils - straight 90W is what?s called for. What?s a good non-synthetic? Steering gear calls for ?All Purpose? lubricant - WTH? Having fun in the garage these days!!! -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The heavy outbreak of Corona in Italy was caused by some big events in Northern Italy, the ski holydays, the Bergamo football match and a third one I did forget. It is generally accepted that a virus can spread easily where lots of people are together for some time. On the other hand, a pandemic can turn down, and mostly does so, before herd immunity is reached. The seasonal influenza epidemic comes and goes without reaching herd immunity of 60%. Unfortunately, this corona virus is much more dangerous than the influenza viruses, not because it is more contagious but you are much better off with a flu than with the covid-19 infection. People die from influenza too, but if that happens it is because of complications like bacterial pneumonie and other surinfections (things that doctors can do something about) but this corona virus is killing people on its own by causing pneumonia, vascular damage and so on and even if you are in hospital (intensive care), all the doctors can do is give support and often the patients die and they can do nothing but watch it. Anyway this virus has a big influence on our way of living, we can't deny it and go on as if it would not be there. Organising a big event is very complicated now.

As new it probably did not use detergent motor oil, and a straight 30 in summer would be the correct grade. Over time there is no way to know what was dumped in that crankcase, so a non detergent oil would be a safe bet. If the car came with service records it may shed some light on things. Also, do remember that the rods are splash oiled on a Chevy six of that era, so drive her gently. Full pressure oiling did not happen till 1953 or 1954 ish. If you ever have the engine rebuilt, then a good modern multi grade oil, with high levels of ZDDP, is the way to go, just like our racing TRs. As to the gear box, diff, and steering box. Any good non synthetic gear lube of the appropriate grade will be just fine. Most modern gear oils are 85w90, and that?s OK. The steering box is always an issue as usually, if they are original, they are pretty much guaranteed to leak around every place they can leak, and hence will not hold liquid lubes for long, without a rebuild. The ?All Purpose? thing is curious. It?s possible that they either mean gear oil or grease. I know one of the ?work arounds? that old timers, and some not so old timers use on early Fords if the box wont hold gear lube, is to pack it with wheel bearing grease. It?s still a frequent practice, as getting the steering gear out of these older machines is fiddly at best and downright difficult in most cases. A word about those old drum brakes. If you have a really good brake shop near you, make sure to have the drums trued and have the new shoes arced (matched) to the drums. This will save many headaches in getting the thing to stop without pulling you into the ditch or oncoming traffic. Also on the subject of brakes, if you are going to put in new wheel cylinders, no matter who you get them from, they all come from China, disassemble them and make sure that the seals are proper lubed with a brake assembly lube, and make sure that the hydraulic line port and the bleeder port are actually drilled all the way through. Really, this is a thing. I have had several wheel cylinders from big name ?reputable? manufacturers that have not had the ports properly drilled through the casting, or had the bleeder screw seating surface not be concentric with the threads for the screw. It?s much easier to check them first, than after you have them on the car and all the shoes/linkages attached. Have fun with her, I love the 40?s domestic cars a lot.

My racing involvement spans four decades with many organizations, and my experiences with SVRA has been exceptional from everyone I have had the pleasure to be in contact with. SVRA prescribes meticulous directives and protocol to provide maximum safety for it's members and competitors. With a few exceptions, racing is basically a money losing proposition for most of us. Whether your pockets are deep, or you need to exercise prudence over financial resources, racing is a luxury. it is not an essential activity of well being. It provides no homeostatic need other than to actualize a passion, which, I will agree, does keep many of us sane. Now, unfortunately, each of us needs to make their own decision on whether to continue this pleasure under the guise of something that could potentially make one terminally ill or be a catalyst to others. I do not wish to engage in a dialogue of opinion and personal discernment .I do not believe there is a right or wrong answer, SVRA has taken extraordinary actions to assure personal safety, and I applaud their endeavor. Yet, I have to ask myself, is the risk worth the reward for me? I have looked forward to participating in the Mid-Ohio/Kastner event, for the past several months, particularly since racing at Mid-Ohio has been on my bucket list for over 40 years. Regretfully, I have made the decision to suspend further participation until the current health situation has some positive resolve. To quote Steve McQeen "Life is racing, the rest is just waiting." For myself, it is time to wait. I hope the wait is not too long. Lastly, this is a passionate debate, and there appears to be an atmosphere of rancor among a few of the postings.

I recall a friend died of a bacteria around his heart many years ago, shortly after my dad's death. The doctors said this particular bug likely came from his garden. In the years since, did I stop gardening? Did I lay awake at night thinking about what I might pick up in my garden and share with family and friends? Dad, on the other hand, had a heart attack after a day of skiing. You never know what's going to take us. A best friend from high school died of pneumonia late last year as he tried to sleep off, alone, what he thought was a cold. Age 57. Really, look at the numbers. We can't live in a bubble. Every year, it seems, someone I personally knew has died, long before Covid-19 came along, and, no doubt, it will continue long after. So far, none have passed from Covid-19 that I personally knew, but It could happen. Maybe it will be the guy in my mirror. This is not the pandemic where it's so bad every family will be touched and it's ok to leave leave bodies at the curb for pick up. It's not playing russian roulette to try to get back to some semblance of normalcy. I beg you to not let the early predictions of this virus to lead you to not even admit your "Russian Roulette with an automatic." was way off base. And by the way, "While you are getting through Covid with no problems"... you mean like how I'm unemployed with no prospects because what was supposed to be a short term chance to get our hospitals and emergency services prepared, so there'd be enough beds, masks, and ventilators has gone on well beyond the need? Your scare mongering is going "to be a real bitch when someone we personally love" faces financial ruin, commits suicide, is victimized by predators, etc. because of the lockdown. How's it feel to have people's deaths laid on you like that? I wouldn't have gone there. I believe you remain way off base, but we can agree to disagree.

"....Covid is killing people in all age groups, no one should consider themselves 'low risk'. This virus is like playing Russian Roulette with an automatic...." That describes the Covid-19 that the early models were describing, but those models were wrong and have been discredited. Yes, in fact, some people can consider themselves "low risk" and no, it's not like playing Russian Roulette at all. And it's certainly not like playing it with an automatic. If one is elderly, particularly those with underlying issues, sure, they should play it safe. And anyone with an underlying issue should weigh the risks and watch out for themselves. The rest need to get on with their lives. The flu didn't stop vintage racing. "If people die at the current rate of 5.9% then...." That "current rate" is not sustainable so your supposition is not based in reality. The curve doesn't just happen in a day when we cross a threshold, it happens slowly as we reach herd immunity. And weather is proving to be significant as the southern hemisphere faces their fall and numbers are rising there. We're heading into our Summer! Let's all take a reality pill here. You said, "We are all big boys and girls and we get to make our own decisions. I think this decision should be made on sound medical science and fact, not what we would like to have happen. " Yes. So enough with the "russian roulette with an automatic" analogies. That's gross hyperbole, not science. It's a bad bug, but we go on with life, just as we always have with the various threats that face us every day. What's the stats for race car drivers getting hurt or killed? What's the stats of sports fans being hit by lightening? What's the stats on dying from pneumonia? Car accidents? Going to an ATM late at night? Yet we all get on with our lives. -Justin On May 22, 2020, at 10:26 AM, Kenneth Knight via Fot wrote: The CDC just announced today that 35% of Covid cases are asymptomatic. It appears you can spread Covid 19 and not know you are sick. What if you are one of those folks that then go home an give it to your family? As of today there 1.61 million cases in the US with deaths at 95,213 or a death rate 5.9%. Over this weekend we will pass 100,000 dead. Covid is killing people in all age groups, no one should consider themselves 'low risk'. This virus is like playing Russian Roulette with an automatic. It is clear that the US national strategy is to open up and either get a vaccine in 18-24 months or achieve "Herd Immunity" which requires some 60-70% of the population to have lived through being sick in order to develop antibodies against the virus. The numbers needed to get to Herd Immunity roughly require 200,000,000 Americans to have had the virus. If people die at the current rate of 5.9% then some ?11,000,000 people would perish in getting to Herd Immunity. Even if better treatments and the demise of very high risk people cut the death rate to just 1%, we would see some 2,000,000 people die of Covid. Someone once said that if wishing were so, pigs could fly. You can cross your fingers this going to get better in June in the Midwest but all the indications are quite the opposite. We opened the country in mid May to varying degrees (not right or wrong, just fact) and infection rate numbers and death rates are likely to significantly rise in June. It takes a couple of weeks before people start showing up sick at their locale hospitals. We are all big boys and girls and we get to make our own decisions. I think this decision should be made on sound medical science and fact, not what we would like to have happen. I have a couple of good doctor friends, until they are willing to go back racing after what they are seeing in their hospitals, I will not return to the track as much as I want to. I wish all the very best of luck.

As many of you pointed out, I had the oil weights reversed winter and summer, so summer, 30w, winter 20w, though the manual says I can probably continue using 20W all summer. The oiling system is definitely splash at low speeds, with ?dippers? attached to each connecting rod big end that scoop up some oil and direct it at the rod bearings. At higher speeds, there?s a pipe and nozzles off the oil galley that aim oil at the dippers to increase the flow - the manual has directions on aiming the nozzles and apparently there?s a special ?target? jig where one can adjust the nozzles to hit the target, with dire consequences if they aren?t aimed right. Of course, the oil gauge only goes from 0-30 psi, so we have a low pressure system here. Steering - I re-read the paragraph and it starts with ?this is filled at the factory with a special all season gear lube and, to paraphrase ?you shouldn?t need to mess with it". After 73 years, however, I?m going to check. It also says ?use a lube that will not ?channel? at low temps or cause ?hard steering?. I?ll try 90W and see what happens. You are correct about pulling the steering box - the directions start with ?remove the steering wheel? and go on from there. However, steering is quite loose and there are three separate lash adjustments, according to the manual, so it?s probably best done on a bench. Brakes - the wheel and master cylinders were surprisingly good, so I got rebuild kits, which look to be USA made. While I?m boring you guys and gals with all this non-Triumph stuff, the manual has four pages on cleaning the upholstery, including categories for battery acids, blood, candy, chewing gum, paint and lacquer, fruits, grease and oil, ice cream, writing ink, iron rust, lipstick, tar and water spots. Solvents for cleaning include benzene, ether, sodium bifluoride ( I always have that around), carbon tetrachloride, and ammonia.

As new it probably did not use detergent motor oil, and a straight 30 in summer would be the correct grade. Over time there is no way to know what was dumped in that crankcase, so a non detergent oil would be a safe bet. If the car came with service records it may shed some light on things. Also, do remember that the rods are splash oiled on a Chevy six of that era, so drive her gently. Full pressure oiling did not happen till 1953 or 1954 ish. If you ever have the engine rebuilt, then a good modern multi grade oil, with high levels of ZDDP, is the way to go, just like our racing TRs. As to the gear box, diff, and steering box. Any good non synthetic gear lube of the appropriate grade will be just fine. Most modern gear oils are 85w90, and that?s OK. The steering box is always an issue as usually, if they are original, they are pretty much guaranteed to leak around every place they can leak, and hence will not hold liquid lubes for long, without a rebuild. The ?All Purpose? thing is curious. It?s possible that they either mean gear oil or grease. I know one of the ?work arounds? that old timers, and some not so old timers use on early Fords if the box wont hold gear lube, is to pack it with wheel bearing grease. It?s still a frequent practice, as getting the steering gear out of these older machines is fiddly at best and downright difficult in most cases. A word about those old drum brakes. If you have a really good brake shop near you, make sure to have the drums trued and have the new shoes arced (matched) to the drums. This will save many headaches in getting the thing to stop without pulling you into the ditch or oncoming traffic. Also on the subject of brakes, if you are going to put in new wheel cylinders, no matter who you get them from, they all come from China, disassemble them and make sure that the seals are proper lubed with a brake assembly lube, and make sure that the hydraulic line port and the bleeder port are actually drilled all the way through. Really, this is a thing. I have had several wheel cylinders from big name ?reputable? manufacturers that have not had the ports properly drilled through the casting, or had the bleeder screw seating surface not be concentric with the threads for the screw. It?s much easier to check them first, than after you have them on the car and all the shoes/linkages attached. Have fun with her, I love the 40?s domestic cars a lot.

So, the highlights - the engine has no oil filter. Just change the oil every 2000 miles, more on dirt roads (says the manual). Lever shocks all around. Vacuum wipers, no turn signals (not sure about brake lights), manually engaged starter solenoid through a floor button. Front wheel bearings are ball bearings!!!. 4.5?x16? wheels, skinny bias plies (with a date code of 1984, definitely due to replace those if I ever go over 25 mph). Right now the brakes are apart, shocks need to go to White Post for a rebuild, gas tank and radiator at the local shop. Here?s a question - the manual calls for straight 20w oil for the engine, 30 in the winter. Should I run 20w, or 10-30? Gear oils - straight 90W is what?s called for. What?s a good non-synthetic?

As new it probably did not use detergent motor oil, ?and a straight 30 in summer would be the correct grade.? Over time there is no way to know what was dumped in that crankcase, so a non detergent oil would be a safe bet.? If the car came with service records it may shed some light on things. Also, do remember that the rods are splash oiled on a Chevy six of that era, so drive her gently.? Full pressure oiling did not happen till 1953 or 1954 ish.? If you ever have the engine rebuilt, then a good modern multi grade oil, with high levels of ZDDP, is the way to go, just like our racing TRs. > > > > As to the gear box, diff, and steering box.? Any good non synthetic gear lube of the appropriate grade will be just fine.? Most modern gear oils are 85w90, and that?s OK.? The steering box is always an issue as usually, if they are original, they are pretty much guaranteed to leak around every place they can leak, and hence will not hold liquid lubes for long, without a rebuild.? The ?All Purpose? thing is curious.? It?s possible that they either mean gear oil or grease.? I know one of the ?work arounds? that old timers, and some not so old timers use on early Fords if the box wont hold gear lube, is to pack it with wheel bearing grease.? It?s still a frequent practice, as getting the steering gear out of these older machines is fiddly at best and downright difficult in most cases. > > > > A word about those old drum brakes.? If you have a really good brake shop near you, make sure to have the drums trued and have the new shoes arced (matched) to the drums. This will save many headaches in getting the thing to stop without pulling you into the ditch or oncoming traffic.? Also on the subject of brakes, if you are going to put in new wheel cylinders, no matter who you get them from, they all come from China, disassemble them and make sure that the seals are proper lubed with a brake assembly lube, and make sure that the hydraulic line port and the bleeder port are actually drilled all the way through.? Really, this is a thing.? I have had several wheel cylinders from big name ?reputable? manufacturers that have not had the ports properly drilled through the casting, or had the bleeder screw seating surface not be concentric with the threads for the screw.? It?s much easier to check them first, than after you have them on the car and all the shoes/linkages attached. > > > > Have fun with her, I love the 40?s domestic cars a lot. > > > > Terry Stetler > > > > Sent from?Mail?for Windows 10 > > > > From:?Bill Tobin via Fot > > Sent:?Saturday, May 23, 2020 7:47 AM > > To:?fot at autox.team.net > > Subject:?Re: [Fot] Old Cars > > > > Great car. a friend has one similar; it's taken 3 generations of babies home from the maternity hospital! > > As for oil: something this old may require non detergent oil.

The Model T was the natural platform, since they were so abundant. I call my other one my "Poor Man's Bugatti" (see photo). It was built in 1922 on a junked 1914 roadster chassis. It was fitted with a mail order boattail body. It has several performance upgrades which were available in the period, e.g. full pressure oiling, RAJO overhead valve conversion, 2 speed rear axle (also a J-type overdrive not available in '22). I plan to build another speedster. I've got another speedster body and a Model T motor with a SOC head. There were a lot of speed parts available for those cars. I wouldn't put to much weight on what the manual says for lubrication. Most lubricants today are better than anything available then. I run straight 30w or 10w-30 in the '26 which is still running with splash oiling. You want the oil to be fairly thin to get into the bearings. The Model T manual calls for 600w oil in the rearend, but there is some debate about how oils were designated back then (before SAE standards). I use the same Sta-lube GL4 90w that I use in my Triumph. Penrite makes a heavy steering box lube that I use in one car. I don't know how it compares to cornhead grease. I am surprised about how slow GM was to adopt more modern technology. Ford went to tapered roller wheel bearings around 1920 and pressure oiling about 1932. They got away from babbitted bearing in 1936 and started using oil filters about the same time. However, it was a bypass system, not full flow oil filtration. It is all eventually filtered (after it flow around enough times). ?- Larry Young -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

You say, what has that got to do with sports cars? Well I will tell you. I was planning to go to the races at Watkins Glen in 1952 and planned to sleep overnight before the race. As I had been to the race in 1951 and wanted to do things different this time. I scouted up some metal rods from the oil field, that we lived in, and bent them into hoops to make a covered wagon top on the Cheve. So off my buddy and I went off to the race. You race historians will remember that the race in 1952 was the last race through town and the race was stopped after a child was hit and killed on Main Street. So the sleeping facility worked well but the race viewing turned out to be a bust. Sent from Mail for Windows 10 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I grew up right down the street from the Kendall Refinery, and the addition of detergents was a big deal. The detergents addition to old curded engines was a problem as the curd could-would break loose and plug up the oil pump screen. Any way, as I remember the switch over was 1951/1952 period. It is hard to find non-detergent these days in the better grades of oil. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Engines of the time used babbitted bearings, which were sealed in place with paraffin-soaked wicking and similar materials that became carbonized as the hot metal was poured.? Detergents dislodged all that carbonized material and, oops!, what little oil pressure such engines had went away. Detergents were introduced when manufacturers upgraded to shell bearings (which were greatly refined during the war years in aircraft engines).? Detergents tended to keep particles suspended in the oil, which minimized the chance of them becoming embedded in shell bearings, which was not so much a problem with babbitt metal.? The tin in babbitt metal was soft enough (and thick enough) for them to get pounded down so they didn't stick up much from the surface, thus minimizing the damage to often unhardened crankshafts.? The layer of soft metal in shell bearings is very thin, so the prospect of something getting stuck in them and being available to wear the crank required rethinking the oils used. I suspect that the changeover to detergents was accompanied by the same sorts of problems that the changeover to synthetics presented.? If the engine is designed for the new oils, no problem.? If it wasn't, well, /caveat emptor /(my father, IIRC, blew up two engines in his `46 Plymouth in the space of eight months around the time detergents became available).? In the late `70s, I remember reading some horror stories about engines converted to full synthetics that burned bearings because the synthetics ran out of the bearings a lot more quickly, with an attendant loss of oil pressure.? Around the same time, I worked with a guy who raced snowmobiles along with his brother.? He thought he'd try Mobil1, thinking he'd get another horsepower or so.? First time out, burned a bearing.? But, his engine had some hours on it, so they tried it in his brother's sled the next weekend, which had a fresh engine.? Burned a bearing.? Engines designed for the stuff ultimately had tighter clearances and higher-volume pumps.? Still remember some nitwit Navy lieutenant screaming at me that "jet engines used synthetics," so why couldn't he use it in his Toyota Celica (this after complaining about noisy operation only after he converted to Arco Graphite, which at the time was something like 0W-15... in Florida, in the summertime--its hot viscosity was less than water).? Trying patiently to explain that it's fine if it's designed for that oil and pointing to the owner's manual just didn't work....

Most people our age think sports cars and hotrodding started after WWII, but the same thing happened when the doughboys came back fror WWI. They wanted cars like they had seen in Europe. The Model T was the natural platform, since they were so abundant. I call my other one my "Poor Man's Bugatti" (see photo). It was built in 1922 on a junked 1914 roadster chassis. It was fitted with a mail order boattail body. It has several performance upgrades which were available in the period, e.g. full pressure oiling, RAJO overhead valve conversion, 2 speed rear axle (also a J-type overdrive not available in '22). I plan to build another speedster. I've got another speedster body and a Model T motor with a SOC head. There were a lot of speed parts available for those cars. I wouldn't put to much weight on what the manual says for lubrication. Most lubricants today are better than anything available then. I run straight 30w or 10w-30 in the '26 which is still running with splash oiling. You want the oil to be fairly thin to get into the bearings. The Model T manual calls for 600w oil in the rearend, but there is some debate about how oils were designated back then (before SAE standards). I use the same Sta-lube GL4 90w that I use in my Triumph. Penrite makes a heavy steering box lube that I use in one car. I don't know how it compares to cornhead grease. I am surprised about how slow GM was to adopt more modern technology. Ford went to tapered roller wheel bearings around 1920 and pressure oiling about 1932. They got away from babbitted bearing in 1936 and started using oil filters about the same time. However, it was a bypass system, not full flow oil filtration. It is all eventually filtered (after it flow around enough times). ?- Larry Young ? _______________________________________________ fot at autox.team.net http://www.fot-racing.com Donate: http://www.team.net/donate.html Archive: http://autox.team.net/archive http://www.team.net/pipermail/fot Unsubscribe/Manage: http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/fot/billdentin at aol.com _______________________________________________ fot at autox.team.net http://www.fot-racing.com Donate: http://www.team.net/donate.html Archive: http://autox.team.net/archive http://www.team.net/pipermail/fot Unsubscribe/Manage: http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/fot/fubog1 at aol.com ? _______________________________________________ fot at autox.team.net http://www.fot-racing.com Donate: http://www.team.net/donate.html Archive: http://autox.team.net/archive http://www.team.net/pipermail/fot Unsubscribe/Manage: http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/fot/triumphsix at yahoo.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Image removed by sender. CSRG's "Contact Patch" Greetings! David Love Vintage Races: July 10-12 Image removed by sender. Nine Frequently Asked Questions 1) What are the chances of running? I'm not the betting kind, but I would say 50/50. A few days ago, the Sonoma County Health officer, Dr. Sundari Mase, said that, assuming the community spread doesn't climb to 30% (currently at 20%), there may be a futher easing of restrictions. To say things are in a state of flux would be an understatement. 2) Is there a Late Entry Fee?: No 3) What procedural changes will there be?: Our goal is to have the three major contact areas for entrants & crews: Will Call, Tech & Registration handled digitally. This is a big task, but it's one we will continue to pursue even after the virus subsides. We are considering using the ticket booths at the Main Gate & at the John Cardinale Media Center instead of the "open room" approach of the past. 4) Will there be changes to the Paddock?: Yes. The plan will be to do a more detailed marking of paddock spaces than we have in the past so as to ensure some degree of social distancing. 5) Will Crews be limited?: Yes, the number TBD. 6) Are spectators allowed?: No 7) Are Face Masks mandatory?: Absolutely yes. If you feel uncomfortable about it, you will just have to gut it out. 8) Saturday night dinner & Mechanical Picnic?: Cancelled 9) When can one enter?: After June 12 via MotorsportReg We all know that the ultimate responsibility falls on every person in the paddock. Simply put, if you are not careful, others may pay for it. If you feel you can not comply with the precautions laid out by both CSRG & the track, that's your choice, but we would then suggest you not enter the event. We hope everything comes together & we can hold a safe, fun event. ============================================== Helmets for 2020 Image removed by sender. Image removed by sender. Photo: Nat Lockwood Image removed by sender. There will be a new helmet standard in 2020--SA2020. Helmets to the new standard will be available late in the year. CSRG will accept SA2010 helmets (& obviously SA2015) through 2020 & probably 2021, depending upon 1) product availabilty & 2) what other clubs (particularly the SCCA) decide to accept. There are significant improvements in the new designs and, since it is your brain we're talking about, maybe upgrading is a good idea. ============================================== Mentoring Please be aware that you may be asked to help mentor a new CSRG member. If you are, we ask that you please take the task seriously & make a concerted effort to help the individual get acclimated to the club & its events. It can be a little daunting for newcomers, so any help or guidance you can provide will be beneficial. Thank you in advance! ============================================== 2020 CSRG Race Schedule Spring Races at Thunderhill Thunderhill 3 Mile Cancelled David Love Vintage Races Sonoma Raceway July 10-12 17th Annual Charity Challenge Sonoma Raceway Oct. 2-4 Season Finale & Awards Dinner at Thunderhill Thunderhill 3 Mile Oct. 30-Nov. 1 ============================================== The following is a brief list of some of the infractions that have occurred over the last few seasons. We respectfully ask that you please read them & take them to heart. Driver Conduct (A compilation of the most common infractions) * If for any reason you are late to the grid or fail to leave the grid with the pack, you may not regain your starting position. You will start from the back. * If the pace car lights are flashing, you must follow under all circumstances. (e.g., bringing group through pit lane, controlling group for multiple laps, etc.) * When behind the pace car, keep pace with the cars around you to avoid holding up the group. * Tire scrubbing is not allowed when cars are side-by-side. * Check your gauges twice a lap. Help prevent lost fluids and lost track-time. * The safest way to pass is with a point-by. Give a point-by as often as you can. (Passing is detailed on Page 1 of the CSRG Driver Handbook) * If you see a RED flag, immediately slow and check your mirrors. Come to a complete stop as soon as you can do so safely, and within sight of a flag stand. Stopped on a red flag you may turn off your engine, but do not remove your seatbelts, helmet, or any other safety gear. Await flagger signal to continue. * If you see a BLUE & YELLOW flag, check your mirrors and be aware that you are about to be passed. You do not need to lift or move over, just be aware that there is a faster car approaching. * If you deviate (spin, four wheels off, pass under yellow, contact) or if you see a standing black flag (sometimes accompanied by a finger point or a number board) you must report to the Black Flag station immediately. * Do not cross the track unless you have clear direction by a course marshal to do so. For example, at Sonoma if you spin exiting T11 and end up in the middle, you may not cross into the pit lane until directed to do so. * Altercations both verbal and physical should be avoided at all costs. Report any altercations to the Race Director or a CSRG Board Member immediately. Do not try to resolve the situation yourself. Click here to see a larger, printable version: Driver Conduct If you have not read the CSRG Driver Handbook please do so. If you have, please consider re-reading it to refresh your memory. It contains valuable information about exactly what CSRG expects of its drivers, and how to be a welcome participant at any track event. http://bit.ly/CSRG_driver_handbook ============================================== Digital Links There are a lot of CSRG related videos on YouTube, but did you know that CSRG also has a YouTube Channel?

However, if you feel your car qualifies under an earlier (1962 or 1967) rules set , you may have your car reviewed by the appropriate individual listed in the table below. The A, B & C Classes are: 'A'=prepped to 1962 rules 'B'=prepped to 1967 rules 'C'=prepped to 1972 & newer) Important: All three "classes", will be timed and scored in a way that will show their overall position & their position within the class.

The extra low end grunt is so much fun! The basic engine block is the same, so mounting is a non issue. The GT6 sump will need a little massaging with a hammer to clear the longer crank throws of the 2.5L. I've als heard that aftermarket rods will reduce the need to modify the sump for clearance, but can't verify first hand. If you retain the TR6 intake manifold, you'll have bonnet clearance issues. A GT6+ or MK3 intake will bolt to the wide port TR6 head without issue. If you plan to rev it much, you will want to look into 1.75" carbs for sure. The stock gearbox might not like the extra torque, going to a TR6 gearbox is highly recommended. Not that hard to fit. You'll need to fab up a rear mounting bracket, bend the clutch arm to clear the frame, and have a custom driveshaft made.

Image removed by sender. CSRG's "Contact Patch" Greetings! David Love Vintage Races: July 10-12 Image removed by sender. Nine Frequently Asked Questions 1) What are the chances of running? I'm not the betting kind, but I would say 50/50. A few days ago, the Sonoma County Health officer, Dr. Sundari Mase, said that, assuming the community spread doesn't climb to 30% (currently at 20%), there may be a futher easing of restrictions. To say things are in a state of flux would be an understatement. 2) Is there a Late Entry Fee?: No 3) What procedural changes will there be?: Our goal is to have the three major contact areas for entrants & crews: Will Call, Tech & Registration handled digitally. This is a big task, but it's one we will continue to pursue even after the virus subsides. We are considering using the ticket booths at the Main Gate & at the John Cardinale Media Center instead of the "open room" approach of the past. 4) Will there be changes to the Paddock?: Yes. The plan will be to do a more detailed marking of paddock spaces than we have in the past so as to ensure some degree of social distancing. 5) Will Crews be limited?: Yes, the number TBD. 6) Are spectators allowed?: No 7) Are Face Masks mandatory?: Absolutely yes. If you feel uncomfortable about it, you will just have to gut it out. 8) Saturday night dinner & Mechanical Picnic?: Cancelled 9) When can one enter?: After June 12 via MotorsportReg We all know that the ultimate responsibility falls on every person in the paddock. Simply put, if you are not careful, others may pay for it. If you feel you can not comply with the precautions laid out by both CSRG & the track, that's your choice, but we would then suggest you not enter the event. We hope everything comes together & we can hold a safe, fun event. ============================================== Helmets for 2020 Image removed by sender. Image removed by sender. Photo: Nat Lockwood Image removed by sender. There will be a new helmet standard in 2020--SA2020. Helmets to the new standard will be available late in the year. CSRG will accept SA2010 helmets (& obviously SA2015) through 2020 & probably 2021, depending upon 1) product availabilty & 2) what other clubs (particularly the SCCA) decide to accept. There are significant improvements in the new designs and, since it is your brain we're talking about, maybe upgrading is a good idea. ============================================== Mentoring Please be aware that you may be asked to help mentor a new CSRG member. If you are, we ask that you please take the task seriously & make a concerted effort to help the individual get acclimated to the club & its events. It can be a little daunting for newcomers, so any help or guidance you can provide will be beneficial. Thank you in advance! ============================================== 2020 CSRG Race Schedule Spring Races at Thunderhill Thunderhill 3 Mile Cancelled David Love Vintage Races Sonoma Raceway July 10-12 17th Annual Charity Challenge Sonoma Raceway Oct. 2-4 Season Finale & Awards Dinner at Thunderhill Thunderhill 3 Mile Oct. 30-Nov. 1 ============================================== The following is a brief list of some of the infractions that have occurred over the last few seasons. We respectfully ask that you please read them & take them to heart. Driver Conduct (A compilation of the most common infractions) * If for any reason you are late to the grid or fail to leave the grid with the pack, you may not regain your starting position. You will start from the back. * If the pace car lights are flashing, you must follow under all circumstances. (e.g., bringing group through pit lane, controlling group for multiple laps, etc.) * When behind the pace car, keep pace with the cars around you to avoid holding up the group. * Tire scrubbing is not allowed when cars are side-by-side. * Check your gauges twice a lap. Help prevent lost fluids and lost track-time. * The safest way to pass is with a point-by. Give a point-by as often as you can. (Passing is detailed on Page 1 of the CSRG Driver Handbook) * If you see a RED flag, immediately slow and check your mirrors. Come to a complete stop as soon as you can do so safely, and within sight of a flag stand. Stopped on a red flag you may turn off your engine, but do not remove your seatbelts, helmet, or any other safety gear. Await flagger signal to continue. * If you see a BLUE & YELLOW flag, check your mirrors and be aware that you are about to be passed. You do not need to lift or move over, just be aware that there is a faster car approaching. * If you deviate (spin, four wheels off, pass under yellow, contact) or if you see a standing black flag (sometimes accompanied by a finger point or a number board) you must report to the Black Flag station immediately. * Do not cross the track unless you have clear direction by a course marshal to do so. For example, at Sonoma if you spin exiting T11 and end up in the middle, you may not cross into the pit lane until directed to do so. * Altercations both verbal and physical should be avoided at all costs. Report any altercations to the Race Director or a CSRG Board Member immediately. Do not try to resolve the situation yourself. Click here to see a larger, printable version: Driver Conduct If you have not read the CSRG Driver Handbook please do so. If you have, please consider re-reading it to refresh your memory. It contains valuable information about exactly what CSRG expects of its drivers, and how to be a welcome participant at any track event. http://bit.ly/CSRG_driver_handbook ============================================== Digital Links There are a lot of CSRG related videos on YouTube, but did you know that CSRG also has a YouTube Channel?

The reason for mentioning it is that those of you who ask to be moved out of G8 & into G2 or G3 may have to change tires to be legal in those other groups. ============================================= Image removed by sender.

However, if you feel your car qualifies under an earlier (1962 or 1967) rules set , you may have your car reviewed by the appropriate individual listed in the table below. The A, B & C Classes are: 'A'=prepped to 1962 rules 'B'=prepped to 1967 rules 'C'=prepped to 1972 & newer) Important: All three "classes", will be timed and scored in a way that will show their overall position & their position within the class.

As already stated use the GT6 sump with some mild modification.? I also use the TR6 gearbox with a simple rear gearbox bracket to mount the stock TR6 mount. Driveshaft is a sliding spline yoke MGB shaft with GT6 flanges. The TR6 gearbox flange is simply re-drilled to accept the GT6 flange. Due to the u-joint size I do not recommend dumping the clutch to do burnouts. Good luck!Brian Dennis On Tuesday, May 26, 2020, 12:52:20 PM EDT, Dennis wrote: Does anyone have experience with installing anTR6 drive train into a GT6??

It is worth reading. In the forward not all the information was sent along. If you want to read it go the CSRG website and take a look. I think it is worth a few minutes to see how they are handling trying to get back to racing. From: Fot [mailto:fot-bounces at autox.team.net] On Behalf Of Kenneth Knight Sent: Tuesday, May 26, 2020 9:45 AM To: FOT Subject: [Fot] FW: CSRG Late Braking News From: CSRG [mailto:contactpatch at csrgweb.org] Sent: Tuesday, May 26, 2020 9:05 AM To: kknight at klaenv.com Subject: CSRG Late Braking News [Image removed by sender.] CSRG's "Contact Patch" Greetings! David Love Vintage Races: July 10-12 [Image removed by sender.] Nine Frequently Asked Questions 1) What are the chances of running? I'm not the betting kind, but I would say 50/50. A few days ago, the Sonoma County Health officer, Dr. Sundari Mase, said that, assuming the community spread doesn't climb to 30% (currently at 20%), there may be a futher easing of restrictions. To say things are in a state of flux would be an understatement. 2) Is there a Late Entry Fee?: No 3) What procedural changes will there be?: Our goal is to have the three major contact areas for entrants & crews: Will Call, Tech & Registration handled digitally. This is a big task, but it's one we will continue to pursue even after the virus subsides. We are considering using the ticket booths at the Main Gate & at the John Cardinale Media Center instead of the "open room" approach of the past. 4) Will there be changes to the Paddock?: Yes. The plan will be to do a more detailed marking of paddock spaces than we have in the past so as to ensure some degree of social distancing. 5) Will Crews be limited?: Yes, the number TBD. 6) Are spectators allowed?: No 7) Are Face Masks mandatory?: Absolutely yes. If you feel uncomfortable about it, you will just have to gut it out. 8) Saturday night dinner & Mechanical Picnic?: Cancelled 9) When can one enter?: After June 12 via MotorsportReg We all know that the ultimate responsibility falls on every person in the paddock. Simply put, if you are not careful, others may pay for it. If you feel you can not comply with the precautions laid out by both CSRG & the track, that's your choice, but we would then suggest you not enter the event. We hope everything comes together & we can hold a safe, fun event. ============================================== Helmets for 2020 [Image removed by sender.] Photo: Nat Lockwood There will be a new helmet standard in 2020--SA2020. Helmets to the new standard will be available late in the year. CSRG will accept SA2010 helmets (& obviously SA2015) through 2020 & probably 2021, depending upon 1) product availabilty & 2) what other clubs (particularly the SCCA) decide to accept. There are significant improvements in the new designs and, since it is your brain we're talking about, maybe upgrading is a good idea. ============================================== Mentoring Please be aware that you may be asked to help mentor a new CSRG member. If you are, we ask that you please take the task seriously & make a concerted effort to help the individual get acclimated to the club & its events. It can be a little daunting for newcomers, so any help or guidance you can provide will be beneficial. Thank you in advance! ============================================== 2020 CSRG Race Schedule Spring Races at Thunderhill Thunderhill 3 Mile Cancelled David Love Vintage Races Sonoma Raceway July 10-12 17th Annual Charity Challenge Sonoma Raceway Oct. 2-4 Season Finale & Awards Dinner at Thunderhill Thunderhill 3 Mile Oct. 30-Nov. 1 ============================================== The following is a brief list of some of the infractions that have occurred over the last few seasons. We respectfully ask that you please read them & take them to heart. Driver Conduct (A compilation of the most common infractions) * If for any reason you are late to the grid or fail to leave the grid with the pack, you may not regain your starting position. You will start from the back. * If the pace car lights are flashing, you must follow under all circumstances. (e.g., bringing group through pit lane, controlling group for multiple laps, etc.) * When behind the pace car, keep pace with the cars around you to avoid holding up the group. * Tire scrubbing is not allowed when cars are side-by-side. * Check your gauges twice a lap. Help prevent lost fluids and lost track-time. * The safest way to pass is with a point-by. Give a point-by as often as you can. (Passing is detailed on Page 1 of the CSRG Driver Handbook) * If you see a RED flag, immediately slow and check your mirrors. Come to a complete stop as soon as you can do so safely, and within sight of a flag stand. Stopped on a red flag you may turn off your engine, but do not remove your seatbelts, helmet, or any other safety gear. Await flagger signal to continue. * If you see a BLUE & YELLOW flag, check your mirrors and be aware that you are about to be passed. You do not need to lift or move over, just be aware that there is a faster car approaching. * If you deviate (spin, four wheels off, pass under yellow, contact) or if you see a standing black flag (sometimes accompanied by a finger point or a number board) you must report to the Black Flag station immediately. * Do not cross the track unless you have clear direction by a course marshal to do so. For example, at Sonoma if you spin exiting T11 and end up in the middle, you may not cross into the pit lane until directed to do so. * Altercations both verbal and physical should be avoided at all costs. Report any altercations to the Race Director or a CSRG Board Member immediately. Do not try to resolve the situation yourself. Click here to see a larger, printable version: Driver Conduct If you have not read the CSRG Driver Handbook please do so. If you have, please consider re-reading it to refresh your memory. It contains valuable information about exactly what CSRG expects of its drivers, and how to be a welcome participant at any track event. http://bit.ly/CSRG_driver_handbook ============================================== Digital Links There are a lot of CSRG related videos on YouTube, but did you know that CSRG also has a YouTube Channel?

The reason for mentioning it is that those of you who ask to be moved out of G8 & into G2 or G3 may have to change tires to be legal in those other groups. ============================================= [Image removed by sender.] Click here to go to the HMP site: HMP ============================================== Production Car Sub-Groups Unless you request otherwise, the default class group for Production Cars (i.e. Race Groups 1, 2, 3 & some cars in 8) will be 'C'---that being cars conforming to the 1972 rules set. However, if you feel your car qualifies under an earlier (1962 or 1967) rules set , you may have your car reviewed by the appropriate individual listed in the table below. The A, B & C Classes are: 'A'=prepped to 1962 rules 'B'=prepped to 1967 rules 'C'=prepped to 1972 & newer) Important: All three "classes", will be timed and scored in a way that will show their overall position & their position within the class.

They rode with me to my racing trips until I no longer had a cassette player in my tow vehicle. What a great group of guys who added to the weekend fun. It is always surprising to learn of someone's talent. You can't see the harmonica in the group photo that John was playing when not singing also. After Bill's untimely death I don't believe this happened anymore.

Thank you very much for sharing these songs, Tony. They are absolutely wonderful. What a pleasure to hear them. Who wrote the lyrics? Real treasures. Really nice and smooth guitar too. Hoagy Carmichael wrote Georgia, a great modern/classic. This arrangement, with appropriate lyrics is very enjoyable. Again, thanks for sharing these. I will indeed download them and include them in my shuffled music play list. When I was a kid attending Catholic school near Cleveland, Ohio, even the nuns knew of Hoagy Carmichael, but I didn't at the time. They always mentioned him when I was introduced to them. I wish I had become involved in racing Triumphs a few years earlier. I would have so enjoyed seeing and hearing these guys play during a race weekend. I'm sure that knowing Jack just a little would have been really sweet too. "Porsches aren't allowed in heaven".

I'm looking for some help in this planning stuff. I'm trying to figure out paddock space and other things for the race weekend. With all the Covid-19 stuff going on I really don't have a handle on how many people are planning on showing up. I am asking that if you have registered for the race with SVRA and you are not planning on attending could you please shoot me an email direct at trmarty at hotmail.com and let me know? If you have already notified me no need to do it again. I don't want to turn this into an on line discussion about all the reasons for or against, just drop me a line so I can accommodate those that are coming in the best possible way. I am still hoping to be able to give some meaningful updates in the next couple of weeks but so far the track has refused to comment to me. SVRA sent out that well thought out reply a week or so ago that I forwarded to you and I expect some additional details from them shortly. Thanks, Marty Sukey -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
