For Jerry and the rest of the FED gang!!!
I'm considering putting a FED together, just talk for now but might have some $ponsor$hip help if I wanted to go racing again....
So, the questions;
1. Many of the done cars I've looked at in ads are 200" wheelbase--for a consistent, good handling car would this be too long, too short, just right??
2. Is a 'glide the only way to go, or could a 2 stage clutch setup work--how did you guys used to do it??
3. Cooling system--radiator like the majority of the RED guys run, or a cool down rig for between rounds??? If I run Quick 8 or Fast Brackets, time between rounds can get very short....
4. Anything else I should have in mind before I get serious about buying a car, or building a new one????
If this ends up being a done deal, going to have my pickup, Camaro, and a lot of other stuff for sale---anyone interested?Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

If your looking at how they do it these days---they have a suspended rearaxle--would be kinda sore after a day of that in fed!!!!!!
And cooling system?????

Yeah-the 60' time fell after a conversion and the bounce in shutdown is nothing now.Smooth as silk now.
Glide yes-cooling system/fan yes for hot laps.Good Bye

On board starter too.Just a reminder Dave that I am sure you know,it's really hard to race by yourself.Well in my mind you just can't do that.So a reliable crew member is one consideration ,better with two people and a driver.Golf cart,four wheeler,for tow vehicle and a trailer to handle all that.Sure does help on those rainy days for the trailer to be enclosed.
Well I don't know why I am telling you about the support stuff.You know about that already.It's great to have a awning on the side of the trailer for a work space.Good Bye
