    Team Starfish Racing Garage

    Pictures of the garage and vintage road race prepped 1966 Barracuda Formula S of Team Starfish Racing. This car was restored from 1992-1994 to international FIA Sporting Regulations (FIA #535) as a Group 3 Grand Touring (GT) class car, for racing in FIA sanctioned endurance race events (think 12...

    1966 Barracuda Grille restoration

    Does anybody know of somebody that does grille restoration? I have a pair of grilles on my 66 Barracuda that could use a good rechroming, as one side has some pitting starting to show. Thanks!

    racing roll cage fabricator northern california

    Not really relevant as it was some 20 years ago. The price has probably gone up a bit by now..... It was about $800-1000 then, as I recall. That was for a welded in SCCA vintage approved roll bar, with the cross brace removable so the rear seat could be used. (It has since been welded in place...

    Brake fluid for M/C

    I have a road race car that can also be used on the street occasionally, and I use Motul 600, a type 4 fluid, with a very high boiling point. There are issues with DOT 5 (silicone), and if used the entire system must be flushed first, as it is not compatible with either DOT 3 or DOT 4.

    Windows 10

    I've upgraded my wife's computer from Windows 7 to 10, and have really had no issues. If anything, it seems to load faster than before. It still has the Windows 7 type start-up page. I have kept MY Windows 7 computer on 7 though, at least for now!

    Value of 8.75 center section?

    I want to sell it as a complete package, not parted out..... I put an ad on Craigslist today for $650, which leaves me wiggle room.... Thanks again! Fishracer66

    Value of 8.75 center section?

    Thanks! That is a starting point at least..... I did find out that it has the Dana clutch type (22685x) sure grip unit in it. I had three rear ends put together (3.55, 3.91, and 4.30), and ended up with 3.91 as the best "over-all" ratio for what I do. The other two are Auburn cone...

    Value of 8.75 center section?

    I have decided to stick my 8.75 (489 case, with Suregrip) 4.30 geared center section on Craigslist so I can put some money into upgrading my Barracuda's brakes. Anybody have an idea of a good starting asking price for this? The gearset is essentially new, (but been sitting in a cabinet for a few...

    Ever let someone else Drive your car????

    Mine is a road race car, and yes, I have let other road race car drivers run the car. Great feedback, as I am rather used to the way it handles, and a second/third opinion is always good!

    It's "Sideview Monday"!!

    I had a chance to get my newly "put back together" road race '66 Barracuda out to a local car show on Saturday after a month long engine pull project to replace a leaky rear main seal. No oil leaks, (hooray!), but several of the sparkplug wires were not properly pushed all the way down into...

    Distributor repair

    I don't think the one with the broken tach drive is going to be that easy. The tang holder came out when I removed the cable. Looks like something sheared way inside the distributor. What is interesting about this is that both of these broken distributors are virtually brand new. One was my...

    Engine back in car!

    So far, only a few miles driving around the neighborhood scaring the neighbors. This is a race car so it doesn't see much street action, except to drive to very close by car shows. It gets miserable mileage, (5 mpg on the race track), and uses $9.50 a gallon 110 leaded fuel....... This car...

    Distributor repair

    These aren't old distributors, they are the recent Mopar Performance units. In fact, both of them are practically brand new. Maybe made by Prestolite?
