Hey Larry, we doing this this year??

Australia starts in 5 days!!!

With all the changes, man it’s going to be anyones guess!

I’ll take Vettle 1, Rosburg 2 and Kimi 3.

Oh boy, can’t what for the FIA’s lastest spec class to start. The 2014 F-100 litre fuel load championships!!!! Hopefully it will be just as disappointing as Rush was.

Can’t wait for the 2017 F-1 square meter solar panel season!

No wonder historic racing is so much more interesting.

I ask for 5 things in this world:

World peace, joy, equality and understanding between all nations, races, cultures and religions

Trucks that are trucks, not 12 airbag leather lined luxury land yachts and without trunk lids. Build me a 2014 version of a ’56 F100

Go kart classes that are fun and totally affordable to be competitive with a $100 tool set from Sears, $5 of pas 89 octane and a set of tires a year and completely cheater proof

Clean air, water, nutritious food, weather proof shelter and environmentally clean living for all

and finally….

F-1 to have these simple rules to establish two things: find out who is the best driver and who can put together the best car.: 13″ wheel rim diameter, 3 liter displacement reciprocal piston motors of any configuration (V8, flat 12, H-16, V-10, what ever you want), self starting (absolutely no computer connections or other outside assistance unless the car won’t start in the pits, they can push start), 600 kilo empty weight, manual gear change, 10 people total in the pits (9 mechanics and manager) + the driver.

Yeah yeah, I know, dream on……world peace, food and shelter, like yeah, right, ……real trucks, simple formula rules, I know, what a fool.

Doctors are weaning him off the sedation and trying to start the process of waking him up and see where he’s at as far as how much damage has occurred. Hopefully he’ll have just a gap in his memory and no impairment.

Vettle   After his quote about passing Webber (i’m racing, I passed, I won) it’s either a DNF or a win.

Alonso

Hamilton

Webbers luck (sic) will continue, I wouldn’t doubt he has a DNF

I would pick Massa at home with a podium, but the Ferrari can only be driven by Alonso.

 

Ok, it’s raining and Rosburg and the Red bull boys are at the top,

I’m changing to

Rosburg

Vettel

Hamilton

[Greg Nelson]

Late to put in picks, guess I’ll roll with last time:

Webber

Vet

Rosberg

[Greg Nelson]

Webber- Will Seb give Mark a good bye gift?
Vettel
Roseburg

 

[Greg Nelson]

Vettel

Webber

Kimi

 

[Greg Nelson]

Been a pretty good last two races for me and I thought about letting it ride, but I think i’ll mix it up a bit, I don’t know where Vettle is on number of races on the motor and tranny, and 4 in a row is pretty tuff, and he’s pretty much has no reason to strain himself plus Doll took my pat choices and no ones thinking Rosberg, so

Rosburg

Kimi

Hamilton

[Greg Nelson]

Building a motor mount is a piece of cake, that’s no problem at all, I’m in the process to figure out what motor to get.   A 4 stroke would be fine, not worried about the all up shift pattern either.

Chris R, what video system shot your footage?

There’s no support because nobody organized it yet… Somebody send me a motor, and I’ll make a motor mount available… I think it’s a really good idea for these motors, just like the clones are for clutch karts… I’m kinda partial to 4 stroke shifties… <span class=”embed-youtube” style=”text-align: center; display: block;”>[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z6BpTY3IBXY?version=3&rel=1&fs=1&showsearch=0&showinfo=1&iv_load_policy=1&wmode=transparent%5D</span&gt; CRLove it, but is the video date accurate?  120+ mph, that has to be off and will those motors (what are you using) really pull 10,500rpm?

[Greg Nelson]

Exactly, I had a 125 moto shifter, spend more money and time than ever driving, plus i’m too old and fat.  I just want something fun (gears, reasonable power) and won’t kill me or my time and bank account. Thought about a WF or a 200, but I like pulling gears, so I’m gonna screw around with this idea and be out no more than the cost of a few sets of tires (another thing that should last 5x longer.)

 

[Greg Nelson]

I guess i’ll stick with my picks;

Vettle

Alonso

Kimi

 

[Greg Nelson]

BTW, the better “stock” 150cc to 184cc motors are running about 14-17 hp, maxed out 21 to 23 hp.

 

[Greg Nelson]

Nice, came from like 20th to 12th.  After Q I thought I was done for with another crap

result.
