Re: Fuel cell

Avoid a fuel cell if possible. You'll create more problems than it's worth. The pump fuel with ethanol just destroys cheap fuel cell bladders, foam, internal lines. If you are doing it cheap, (not buying directly from ATL or Fuelsafe) you are most likely creating more risk of fire than preventing. N...

Re: Sharing a Car

Re: Palmer Palmer Palmer

On the topic of GPS and coordinates, Just thought I would share what I found this weekend. I struggled in certain corners to get proper GPS signal where my GPS was mounted inside the car this past weekend. Specs say to mount it in the center of the roof - which has always been a huge installation PI...

Re: Palmer Palmer Palmer

Thanks Mike, those numbers don't look quite right though… that's about 20 min from the track address if I'm copying it correctly to googlemaps.

Re: Winter Tire Storage

I ran a race where it was freezing overnight, woke up the next day and qualified at 9am. Basically took the tire from 30 deg f to 150 deg f in 5 laps.

All 4 Kumho v710's cracked immediately.

I only realized how stupid that was AFTER i basically burned $900.
