2014 Season Schedule Up

M

Mike's Competition

They have the 2014 season schedule up over on the region website:
http://www.stlsolo.org/

Looks like 10 events, four at Gateway, six at Family Arena, starting April 27, none in Arkansas.

After the 10th event, they have a Team Challenge, Road Course Solo, and Year End event. Not sure what to think of those.

I'm in the process of gathering up some metal to use for heim jointing the rest of my suspension (which should have been done two years ago).
I already redid my rear camber and toe after spinning all over the place at last year's final event. That might help my brake bias and rear brake lockup too.
I need to start looking for some Mustang balljoints for roll center adjusters.
Could use a rear bumper to notch the bottom out of. Rear canards would be nice too.
Lots of research on carbon fiber and Kevlar composites. But I am unable to locate Kevlar honeycomb (stronger than Nomex).
Went through the rules, I am allowed to convert the front suspension to double wishbone. The big auto show in Illinois had a Lexus IS with the under structer on display. The front suspension is very similar, lower L beam and strut, but adds an upper wishbone. Need more research on that idea.

Bill I am looking forward to 2014. My car should be better than ever and is feeling very balanced. The best part is that I should be able to make it to all but a couple of events. Heck I might even attend my 1st driving school (EVO) and see what I am doing wrong. Hopefully Rick will join us also. He may start to give us some competition this year also. Should be a fun year!
 
I,m working on it. Got the power streeing buttoned up last nite. Looking for some used wheels for some slicks and it should be a go. With everything that went on over winter I'm lucky to have power steering. Mike after this Friday I will be one handed for a while might call for some help if I find wheels.

Rick let me know when you need some help. I playing Mr Mom this week, but we can work something out.

Slicks huh! Let know if you want to go cheap and use mine. I am going to try to run my 100 TW street tires this year. Bill should be on 1 year old Kumho's so it should be pretty even as far as tires go.
