I live an hour away, and am a former HP racer with Runoffs and Daytona experience. I am a club member and licensed in F&C. Due to conflicting travel, I could only come up Thursday-Sunday - last qual and the races. I planned to buy a ticket to spectate but if somebody is short-handed and...

You can check but it looks like a 9/2/2015 revision to the Runoffs Sup Regs includes this change: "Due to the unique location of Daytona International Speedway as well as the course configuration,sound control per GCR 5.7.3 will not be in effect for this event." I suspect this is because of the...

I raced Daytona in an HP Sprite from 1990 to 2005 - The track has features that may not be encountered anywhere else - unless you have run "BIG" road/ovals. I offer some things to consider, in no special order: 1) At Daytona you will run with wide-open throttle for two long sections each lap...

I have two Spridget diff/pumpkin assemblies available that were not sold with my HP Bugeye. Each is a complete assembly - case/gears/etc - ready to be bolted into an axle housing and driveshaft. #1 is a 4.22 assembly- welded, with the "thick" ring gear. It has been lightened by removing the...

Since I am not racing, I have been doing some corner working at local events. My ears get crushed by the strong metal spring that wraps around the back of the head. Okay for one session, but for two days... :cry: Does anybody know of a headset brand that has some way to adjust the tension to...

I am going over my street Bugeye that sat for ~12 years in my garage while I was busy National Racing. I suctioned some fluid from the master cylinder. When I took apart the rear brakes, the aluminum brake cylinders were just full of crystals/corrosion - no surprise. No fluid dripped from the...

I am reviving my street Bugeye with a 948 engine. I was advised by Mike Miller of Comptune to replace the stock rod bolts with ARP bolts. I can't find these on their website. Does anybody know if they still sell these, or have a set in-hand for a 948 big end? What about pinch-bolts? I do have...

I have a pretty nicely-made aluminum flywheel with an embedded steel friction surface that looks like it will fit my 948cc street Bugeye engine. But it seems an odd mix of dimensions- It has the 4-bolt pattern without dowels like the 948 does for the crank. The friction surface is only 6 1/2...

I'm going through my street Bugeye which has been parked for 12 years. It had a major oil leak behind the rear engine mounting plate at the plug for the main oil gallery- this oil made it's way out onto the car, driveway, etc... The stock plug was a brass "cork" just under 0.500 inch diameter. I...

I have a Street 948cc Bugeye that I put in the garage about 12 years ago. I am now reviving it, including an engine rebuild... One of the big problems was rear main seal oil leakage, so about that time I bought a kit from Mini-Mania in California- this installs a lipped rubber oil seal to the...
