One of the last things remaining in the WTR inventory is a bumper/air dam/splitter assembly that I used on my last Spridget. I'm willing to let this go for free to the right home. It's a quality pair of pieces built by Dave Craddock for Spridgetech. I added an 0.080" aluminum sheet as a...

The other battery thread warranted me starting a new thread on the topic of Li Batteries in race cars. If you're going to be using a Li battery, please note that a new rule will go into effect on 1/1/22 about requiring a decal to identify that your car has a Li battery powering it. It will...

Kevin (or any other OVR person out there).....are you guys doing delayed billing for this event? Or is my credit card going to be charged today if i enter today? a cursory look at the supps didn't tell me. Quite a field already. Sweet! Dayle

This is going to seem completely antithetical since we all race cars that a million years old but here goes. I'm seriously thinking about buying an electric car for my wife since she doesn't do much driving except to and from work and a few errands a week. She's the perfect candidate for one...

Please let us know if you'll be able to attend this year's GTL / Prod party at the Runoffs. I'm asking for RSVP's so we can more accurately determine how much food we'll need. This will hold our costs down.....and the more we hold our costs down, the more CASH we can give to the worker corps...

Wow....what a weekend. The prod group was small but a couple of descent races in the pack. But those details pale in comparison to the monster cluster f*&^ that was the "wing n things" race on Saturday and the DOT and SM races on Sunday. 1. WnT: Multiple passes under yellow in crash...

OK....registration has opened and sop now we turn to the annual; question. Who's going to take the mantle and carry on the tradition of the prod party? There's going to be an shitpile of FL and SEDiv guys who know the area, know people and can arrange things. I'll kick in the first $50 to the...

Any kind of update? Remember, "it's not just another race".....inquiring minds NEED to know what's what from over there. Dayle

Forgive the stupid question........but I'm putting a 21st century data system into a 19th century car and I'm in over my head. As usual, I dependent on the kindness of strangers. Or at least the strange. The GPS lead is waaaaay too long. Should I loop the extra? Or should I lay it along...

I'll be needing to mount a screen in front of my air duct through the air dam and valence. This will be air going through the oil cooler and radiator. So what pore size screen do I need? At some point the grid can be too small and will block air......thoughts? Dayle

First prod in for this event..... WOWZER.....how about these guys getting their act together? $410 if you pay by check before 7/3. Kudos to SBR on that one. And we're group 5 too. So one can do both MI Majors for $885 total. Registration is now open on MSR. Dayle

Hello all, I'm pleased to announce that registration is open for the "Unrestricted" Double Regional which will be held at Grattan Raceway on June 27th and 28th. This event is a 2015 Runoffs Qualifying and GLDiv RCS event. We have a six group, four session weekend planned. A Saturday morning...

After destroying Teri back in 2013, I bought an ex-Haynes, Brueckheimer, Larsen and Swanson Sprite roller and have begun prepping her for the 2015 season. I'm dumping photos of the project into a Dropbox folder since this forum doesn't allow thread responses...

I am pleased to announce that registration will be open soon for the 2015 WMR Majors at MIS event to be held on 8/22, 8/23. I know its early but I wanted to give everyone a chance to check it out before registration opens in a couple of weeks. The event is visible to the public at...

Once again I throw myself at the mercy of the Spridget Intelligencia. In an effort to 'modernize' my Spridget, I'm putting in all electronic gauges. So I need a fitting to adapt the 1/8" NPT water temp sensor to the port on the head. It appears to be 5/8"-18 bolt thread. But that doesn't...
