June Sprints - Online Reg closes Thursday
Don’t forget that regular registration for 2015 WeatherTech® Chicago Region SCCA June Sprints® Double Majors Race at Road America closes this Thursday night, June 5 (credit cards will not get charged before June 12).
Here are a few reasons to consider coming to this event:
1) It is a full double - 2 races, different from a "normal" June Sprints weekend
2) Points count toward BOTH the Majors Northern Conference championship and the CenDiv Divisional championship
3) Whether a driver is running for Majors points or Divisional points, either can get them an invitation to the Runoffs
4) Possibly the biggest field of the year
5) Contingency awards valued approaching $100,000
6) You can’t win the coveted Triple Crown® if you don’t win the Sprints
7) Road America Family Zone for kids of all ages

Euroswift SE 1 Headers
Hi Guys
I have recently purchased a '89 Euroswift SE1 which has just arrived here in Australia. I am missing the header system . Are there systems from other cars that will fit satisfactorily and has anyone got one they are prepared to sell.? I cant use a Hy tek system as it is not period correct for historic racing here.

Think only we complaain about tire costs
Found this on a slot car forum:
Cost of wing car tires are insane!!!!
The price increase on the way for wing car tires is going to be a killer for the hobby. This isn't meant to point blame at anyone, everyone has to cover costs and make a buck but is it finally time for the USRA to step in and say enough. Instead how about .500 hubs (or some other size as long as it's standard), undrilled, unmilled and unwaffled for any class below Opens. $28.00 for a .650 tire when you need at least three pairs to get through a race and then if you race three classes thats $252.00 for a series race day just for tires. One standard hub for wingcar tires would greatly increase production efficiency and allow for lower costs. This is something that shouldn't even be voted on, the Board should simply use the emergency clause to come in and rectify this craziness. Do it effective for the 2014 Nats and that would give everyone time to adjust.

Winter project nearing completion
I Know its hardly winter anymore, but I wanted to post some pictures of my CFF project. I purchased it a as a slider last Oct. It's an ex Bondurant school car that was built by Crossle.
Basically its a 50f, it does not have a Crossle chassis # just a data plate from the Bondurant school saying " PROPERTY of BONDURANT SCHOOL OF DRIVING Chassis #027", I talked with the nice people at Crossle but they were not able to I.D. the chassis other than that they indeed built them for Bondurant.
So I plan on applying for Homologation soon, I am thinking on calling it a BondLe or a LeBond or something like that. Anyway hope to finish this month do a few track days and maybe race in July here in Colorado, any input is welcome.

Hewland Mk. 6 bevel washers
I'm putting a new crown wheel & pinion in my Mk. 6 Hewland and am being told to consider changing out the transmission in the future because the differential parts are obsolete. I've located new differential gears and cross pin, but am unable to find the bevel washers for spider gears. John Grubb, who is working on the box, is checking with people he knows in the UK, but isn't optimistic about finding these washers. TRE said to call them on Monday to see if the size matches up with the later Mk. 9 bevel washers, but I can't believe it would be the same as the gears are different. On the TRE/Hewland diagram the washers are identified as part B18. Any help or suggestions appreciated.
