My 1980 Crossle 40f did not come with an air dam behind the radiator when I bought it. During my first race in the heat last season, my feet got so hot I ended up making one out of cardboard to get through the weekend. Since then I've seen several different versions made out of aluminum, fiberglass, and even carbon fiber. I ended up using a fiberglass piece available through … [Read more...] about RADIATOR AIR DEFLECTOR

When I tried to raise the ride … [Read more...] about COOL TOOL OF THE DAY
SFR SCCA AT LAGUNA SECA, ’15
This weekend I raced at Laguna Seca Raceway with the Crossle, it was the first time back on this track for me in several years. It took me a few sessions to get comfortable again, but things started to click by day 2 (of 3). Laguna is a great facility, big elevation changes, high speed and low speed corners, and of course, The Corkscrew! Weather was nice, foggy starts but sunny … [Read more...] about SFR SCCA AT LAGUNA SECA, ’15
