Message-ID: <c91.26de7654.359ba911@aol.com>

Fellow  LBCerbs, I received a phone call last night from Elizabeth Jones.
Her husband Fisher suffered a heart  attack this weekend and is in the
hospital
in San Antonio.  Elizabeth is with him, and he is still  in coronary care, but
is alert and OK for the time being.  A catheterization will be performed as
soon as they are sure he is up to it.
Since  she is at his bedside, Elizabeth has no internet access, and has asked
me to  inform everyone that she must cancel the sale she had proposed for
this  weekend.  She apologizes to everyone  and will reschedule as soon as she
can.
Many  of her friends from the Spridget list were in transit, so she called me
as she  knew I wasnbt able to attend.
I ask  that you keep Fisher and Elizabeth in your prayers.  Ibm sure she
will
be sending updates as  soon as she is able.

Regards,

Robert B. Houston

As he stared at her ample bosom, he daydreamed of the dual  Skinners Union
carburetors in his vintage MG, highly functional yet  pleasingly formed,
perched prominently on top of the intake manifold, aching for  experienced
hands,
the small knurled caps of the oil dampeners begging to be  inspected and
adjusted as
described in chapter seven of the Haynes shop  manual.

I just squeaked thru Tech and I was reminded again how fragile my original
single brake master system is.

Has anyone come up with a new - better way to convert my 750 Giulietta Spider
to a dual master ? The Duetto master protrudes into the cockpit, the Tilton
system is a nightmare.

Any thoughts ?

Help!

Can anyone recommend a shipper other than UPS, DHL, FedEx for me to use
shipping 2 boxes from Florida to Lancashire, UK?  Those shippers charges are
HUGE - as much as US$1,600.

I'm shipping bucket seats in 2 boxes 21 x 25 x 34 weighing 33# each.

I have checked BAX Global & they are a LOT less - US$565 door-to-door.  But,
they are busters re. ONLY business-to-business.

Your quick response will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Don't forget considerable insurance.  That will add greatly to the cost and 
eliminate several carriers for possiblility.

Not long ago, I swapped ram stacks form 1-3/4" SUs for same for 1-1/2" SUs.
While nice stacks, they are a bit too long & wide-mouthed for the space
available in my Turner.  Will keep them for future projects.
 
Last week I decided to order a pair of 1-1/2" tall stacks from my friends
Lori & David at APT.  The new prices they are being charged by the
manufacturer are crazy.  The stacks on which they make only a few dollars
have gone up to $69.95 each.  While they seem to be all that is available,
and the US$ value keeps plummeting, they are what I need.
 
To see them, go to:  <http://www.aptfast.com/> http://www.aptfast.com/
click on "SU Carburetors" & scroll down almost to the bottom of the page &
look for "SU Stub Stacks & Ram Pipes"  Click on "RP-HS4."

Well, 2008 is in the can. For those of you that made it thanks! For those of
you that did not.. You missed a great weekend of events.

 Friday the weather was fantastic and if you signed up for the full test and
tune you got something like 6 or seven sessions. the beer, wine and food was
a little late (got hung up in traffic) but it was worth the wait and it was
relaxing under the tent Friday eve for the driver/crew reception.

 Saturday got started on time and it stayed bright and sunny all day with
great racing and dicing going on in all of the groups. While our overall car
count was a little down we still had over 225 cars there for the weekend
competing in vintage, Historic, BMW club races and SCCA Solo II autocross
(they even have a vintage class!) Charity rides were a big hit as usual and
some of our drivers went home with as big a smile on their face as their
passenger!

 Saturday's party was great and the food was real good and plenty of it. I
understand that latter in the evening a bit of a wind kicked up but I had
already headed out by then. Sunday started cloudy and cool. Down in the
valley it was raining. A number of people believed the weather man and not
race control and pulled out early. Not only did every race go off as
scheduled and for the length it was supposed to even the charity rides went
off.

 

 I really want to say thank you to all that came and helped make this event
possible. As you know through your efforts we have given our charities more
than 2.5 million dollars since the first Grand Prix was run. 5 years ago we
had 45 cars total at the first PVGPA BeaveRun and now the combined race
weekend pulls in well over 200 and in some years closer to 300 competition
cars.

 And special thanks to the VRG; Mark Palmer & Keith Lawrence event chairs,
Paul & Darry Bova - they set up our first silent auction and it was great.
Lou and Walter Pietrowicz, whose great shots over the years have not only
captured us on the track but have captured the essence of all that is
vintage racing.   <mailto:Kristie.Reid at verizon.net> Kris Reid, who runs the
Auto Cross. Jeff taylor and the BMW guys and a special thanks to Whitt Ball
who stepped and got the BMW guys to come through when we lost our tent
sponsor. Chris Shoemaker, Chris has being going after me for 5 years for a
fast open wheel only group, (mostly formula & club Fords) My answer was give
me the cars and the group is yours. He did and we had close on to 30 open
wheel cars from Formula Vee to Super Vee (air cooled) And the Fords were all
over the paddock! Great Group and great racing!! 

   

 So mark your calendar for next year. I can let you on to a little secret,
Next year the marque of the year for PVGPA is BMW so all sorts of things
will be planned for all BMW powered race and solo cars. Plus, Mini is the
car of the year for BeaveRun.

 We will offer it all for Mini drivers. Any year, make or configuration
racing Mini will be considered for the track (as per usual both you and the
car will need to meet driver and car requirements) We even will be accepting
new spec Mini's. All weekend long you will race in class and on Sunday we
will have a feature Mini only sprint race. track to much or you just own a
street Mini, grab a helmet and go auto crossing. we are also planning a Mini
only car corral and special weekend discounts for those who drive up to
watch the festivities and come in their Mini.

 So again a great big thanks and see you next year

           A long-time friend of Fisher's has been trying to help, whilst
   I've been at the hospital, and to this end he has suggested an auction
   of some of the cars, and I have added his message to the foot of this,

Hi all,

I'm looking for grease/dust caps for front hubs that have a 47mm/1.850"
diameter. BTW, this is the same diameter as the OD of a 30204 tapered roller
bearing, which happens to be what I'm using. Is this a common size?

Thanks, Dick Tillinger

Hi all,

There are some stringent New Joisey regulations which apply to NJMP (new
Thunderbolt and Lightning racecourses in Millville, NJ). Seatbelts must be no
older than 2 years, unless FIA, in which case they can be no older than 5
years.

Another interesting tidbit:

13:62-3.11 Clothing requirements; other than drivers

(b) During races, crew members working in the hot pit shall wear suits of at
least one layer of fire retardant material (two are recommended) to cover the
entire torso, arms, and legs.

I'm attending the SVRA event at Thunderbolt in Millville NJ August  8-10.  
For those who have seen and toured the track what are your  opinions re gearing 
compared to Summit Point or VIR.

The terminal velocity is less than Summit, VIR or Lightning. Not much more
than BeaveRun, IMO.
