    Bobby Archer driving school

    KVerges......Got to somewhat disagree with you. I do agree seat time will always make you smoother and faster. As you go thru the learning curve andd get to know the feel of your car you start to learn more about whether the car is underdteering or oversteering in certain corners. You make a...

    Tire plug

    DO NOT RACE ON A PLUGGED TIRE!!!!! It is dangerous enough racing in a well maintained car. A plugged tire can lose the plug under extremme heat when you are doing 150MPH and having a flat at high speed is very dangerous. Wait, be safe!!! Get a new tire!

    How many dealers have refused to perform the recall??

    Barbera Dodge in Roxborough Pa, has now completed the recalls, both font and back on both my Vipers, including the race Viper. Joe Kallas, at Barbera is a great Viper tech, as well as my crew chief and is an avid road racer. Anyone in Jersey or Pa. go see Joe and the rest of the Barbera team also.

    Once again Arrow vs T&D's

    Re: Once again Arrow vs T&D\'s I bought the Arrow rockers for my race viper. I then put them next to a set of T&D rockers. Anyone want to buy a set of Arrow rockers? Once I saw the difference up close and how they mount, my race motors only get T&D's. I do think for an everyday once in a...

    What are the biggest factors on the race course--survey, racers please rank.

    Well Skill is always a factor of seat time, so with that being equal, a well balanced suspension setup and correct tires and temps being part of that would be next. Having lots of power and a lousy setup will make you slow out of the corners. Having a car that pushes into a corner entry will...

    Viper Recall #998 and #999 - READ BEFORE YOU GO TO THE DEALER

    I have allready had my 96 rt-10 welded once before and it broke again. We found that racing the cars (don't we all do that?) breaks the welds loose. The racks are only spot welded at the clips. We welded them all the way around and they still will break. The 2002 model cars have an entire...

    Lets Get Real , DC do something now,, No More IGNORANCE

    First, the Viper is not the best Drag car by any means. I can bring along our 68 Camaro and put a 9 second tear in the quarter and all for less than 30 K invested. BUT its STILL ..ONLY a Camaro. But bring all these rockets to the road course, INCLUDING the GT-40 and lets see what its made of...

    Alignment Specs for Eibachs?

    If you are running on the street stick to the low end of stock ride height and to stock alignment specs. It will keep the geometry right and maximize tire wear. Changing ride heights means you need to change bump steer. More aggressive setups, mostly for racing wear more on tires, thats ok for...

    Well the GT-40 may be a great car....but really....Is that the best Ford can come up with? Too many criticize the NEW SRT/10 but think about this. Dodge created a NEW icon in sportscars...THE VIPER! The best Ford can do is resurrect a 40 year old car....and we should get excited about that...
