Forum: Class 9

It's me again....What size oil coolers are you running and what kind of temps are you experiencing? Are you also running a fan? I am running a 24 plate cooler with out a fan and in 100deg ambient temps the car is running 210deg oil temp. This is my first experiance with a VW motor. How hot can you run them at balls to the wall?

So I was thinking that we should have another 9 car picnic/Test & Tune Day like we did in the past. What do you guys say?? It could be a meeting for next years pro 9 deal and a test for the DRIVE race. I was thinking we could get Art to come down for tech Q&A, Jim from MORE to answer some questions. We could ask some of the "Set Up Guys" like Heath to come out and help were needed. It would be...

What fuel cell capacity do most of the 9 cars run?

Does anyone have any suggestions about why or how I am breaking ring gear? I've broken 5 so far. Trannies have all been fresh, ring an pinion magged. We have check the degree ( about 11 ) up and down. Spring plates sit just about an eighth of an inch off stops ( without driver an co ). Thinking about limit straps and taller bump stops to give up a little travel. UGH ! Any ideas? Please let em rip!

Went on a night run, down a road I've benn down 9-10 times, and forgot it rained a week before. Came over a hill (60-70mph) and no time to stop. Kept on the gas and made it across. Lucky.........

Where do you go for custom window nets? Do most people install the drop style and enter thru the side of the car or do most have a permanent mount and enter via roof panel? Also can you just zip tie it to the cage. What is the best method? Thanks.

McKenzies has one...Kartek doesn't have any...anyone got a pair of these torsion bars lying around? We were really hoping to get our hands on some for this weekend. Preferably new. Or can anyone offer us some advice on Schroeder bars?

Time to talk about Pro-Nine for 2011 First question is do we stick to the current type of setup and run a 3 race series or go with a single race? We could go through all the details if we chose a 3 race series later. If we go with a single race for Pro-Nine want to do something epic? Mint 400? Vegas to Reno? Parker 425?

Had to knock off a few cob webs as I haven't done a website in about 10 years but I got through it! The new Pro-Nine website is up an running. Like I said this is my first website I have done in a long time so be easy on me. I am still going to make a few tweaks to it but that is the basic layout. If there is any content that is incorrect please let me know and I will work on correcting it...

This coming Tuesday I will bring the poll results and drivers attached to them to be presented to the SNORE Board of Directors meeting where it will be considered for vote which will lead to the approval or disapproval of an Open Transmission ruling in Class 9. I have to ask though does everyone feel(with all honesty and integrity in mind) that this poll accurately portrays the class? There...

Just to feel this out, please vote and if the interest is there, as SNORE's class 9 rep, I'll try and see this through to a vote for a rule change.
