S197 3V Fabman's build; How did we get here? Build Thread

[Mad Hatter]

Hope it works out! Must admit, am a big fan of the electric rack. Those 335/30-18 tires must be making the pump work overtime.

That and 8k rpm

 

[Mad Hatter]

I guess that will do it as well...

Were you at this race? Do you recognize this lineup?
Which races did you attend?
What class/group are you in? ITE is group 3.
You are running a mustang yes?

I'm running this in T2 so I can do Runoffs and majors. I think my group is slower laptime than yours. I run with SFR when it's cool and I want to fish monterey bay.

T2 is group 3 with me. That's funny, I haven't seen your car either. lol.
I typically start within the first 2 rows so you may be starting behind me somewhere and never see me.
That's totally possible.

I'll look for you next year. I'm easy to remember. My car is #116. Upside-down that spells 911...yeah there is a story...

I looked at the race participants list for every SFRSCCA race @ Laguna this year and I see no Bob entered in T2.
None listed in the current points standings either.
Do you race under a different name? How am I missing you?

Frankenstangs speed secret.

 

[Coz]

Does that mean you're gonna go back and do-over a few races?

I'd like to go back and put an electric rack in the car before the start of the season.

 

[TMSBOSS]

Do you have to hold the speed at 88MPH for the capacitor to work?

Electric racks fail as well, Kurt had to Armstrong power steering to finish T2 at Indy

Yes which is tough considering the car has no speedometer

 

[TMSBOSS]

Because.....Racecar.

At least they don’t oil down the track and drench the car….

 

[Mad Hatter]

I had my electric rack fail twice at the track.... what a massive workout... not fun. Both times it was a electrical fault that was relatively easy to fix.

Oh God...

 

[Mad Hatter]

Oh God...

Don't change your mind!! Both times were due to some very bad wiring from my previous ex-mechanic. Every time the steering got a serious work out, the wirinig would get hot and the electric rack would fail due to low voltage.. Thats not going to happen on your car.
