FC is SCCA Formula Continential / Formula Ford 2000 ......... Open Wheel , Single seater , slicks , wings , ect .......... Not really that fast in a straight line , but braking distances are short , turns are fast and reaction times are quick ...... Wheel to Wheel , Open Wheel racing ..... Lots of kids transitioning from karts to cars ...... Lots of veterans who know how to drive and set up a formula car ....... Don't even think about it unless you've got lots of cash your ready to part with .

IF YOU had major engine bog coming out of the boot hill, tombstone combo onto the straight before big ben its most certainly fuel starvation as I have it if my tank is anywhere near 1/2 full. And as you get faster it will get worse. as I write this the guys at performance speedtech are addressing this on my car. Gerry

I wish I could have gone to that event at MSR, but the autocross conflicted... EgoThreat and I would like to do another - I love the new MSR section. I plan on doing another group outing if possible next year, only this time without any oil fires.

That is exactly where my engine bogged bad. I went through the whole 3 corners in one around 7,000rpm in 3rd and then ran it to 8,200rpm and pulled a hard shift into 4th. At that point in time, the engine just flat bogged and did nothing even at full throttle. I lifted off the gas and reapplied throttle and it started accelerating normally. It was really weird.

My fuel gauge indicated a 1/3 of a tank, so based on how UN-uniform my gauge is, I probably had less than 3 gallons in the tank.

Glad it's not an engine issue. Car is running perfect as usual.

I'd love to get another S2000 member day out there. I'm in love with the new 1.4 section. I'm still figuring it out and that's part of the fun.

I'll be back out there for sure. I think they have a December event...might do it if it works with my schedule.

Corey,

Glad to finally meet you this wknd. I preferred the 1.7 MSR to TWS, but know I think I prefer TWS to the 3.1 MSR. The new section doesn't have many passing zones.

Gerry, I wished I met you and specially your car. I really wanted to check it out and ask you some questions about it.

How about a Group buy in Spring for NSX's and s2000.
