Whilst I'd be happy to do a race at Winton (the only track I haven't driven on yet) I'm not even prepared to ask my wife if I can take another weekend off so...
David, mark me down as a YES! Let me know if you need a hand with the ring around. George ... _________________________________________________________________...
Trevor, That's a good question. If we could get 5 or more 1600's I think it would be very worthwhile, and probably take us to the numbers we need. I'm not so...
Hi everyone, Just a suggestion, wouldn't it be better to accept all entries from 1200 & 1600 and see what eventuates. If a 1 or 2 entries are received from...
Hi everyone, Just a follow up, anyone know what is happening to Futureracers? I don't buy my fish wrappers that often these days. A quick scan of their...
I agree Ian. And manufacturing won't be a problem if there is a demand. Maybe look at the carby on the 1600 and get a few horses for a bit more flash speed to...
Scott, Going Faster As much as I appreciate you wanting to go faster you always have the issue of reliability and safety looming, if you want to fast in a Vee...

I read this (below) the other day on the Port Stephen's Council Website, I was wondering if any one from around Newcastle or the NSW Central Coast know where...
HelpI personally hope that Vees do not become too popular. It seems to me that the amatuer status of Vees is what keeps them cheap and competitive. If teams...
Hi, Unfortunately, due to lack of numbers, we will not be running at the Procar meeting. Thanks to all those who expressed interest, but in the end, the...
Hello Vee'ers I've done up an Eastern Creek race report and you might be interested in some pictures from the in-car video. Apologies for the race report, most...
I've just completed my first changeover of a short box to a long box for Philip Island. It looks like changing it back again for next round at Sandown and...
This is why 1600's have the one gearbox rule. A long box. No more gearbox changes for different tracks and everyone is the same. Stephen Butcher ... From:...

Hi Jason, I'm not sure why the larger tyre hasn't been considered, I can only imagine the tyre would have to be massive and tyre makers wouldn't be interested...
I have had the same clutch in for 4 racing meetings and 7 practice days and it shows no sign of wear, clutch wear is not a problem with 1600's. I would...

George From where do you get the experience to give that advice about clutch wear in 1600's? As Stephen writes, after two and a half seasons of 1600 racing,...
Jason In actual fact, a number of gear ratios are allowed, so why don't we use three or four different tyre sizes? I don't think having more than one set of...
Hi Stephen, Thanks for that data/advice. George ... _________________________________________________________________ Protect your inbox from harmful viruses...

Welcome Roz, Up until this year, Formula Vee tyres have been Bridgestones, but as they no longer produce them, we now have a Dunlop control tyre. For a set...
