BiggieFries Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 Are the new Leagues that span generations (aka: under 30, 31-40, etc) still being created? How's that coming along? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easy n Dirty Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 Another question for sky - what was the handling like on the Model T? Did the clutch slip at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Down Goes Frazia Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 yes they're in the works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skylive5 Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 The Ages Group FFL, consisting of 4 seperate leagues, is coming along great. We are having the last BOTH Forum made as I type this and once that is done all leagues will be ready for formation/rules discussions/etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skylive5 Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 Another question for sky - what was the handling like on the Model T? Did the clutch slip at all? 648841[/snapback] No one has a problem with the 'clutch' on a Model T. Nice question though, EnD. "Since 1910 to the present, all cars have the same basic components: An engine, a transmission, a differential and brakes. Today the cars fall into a category of “stick” or “automatic” referring to the type of transmission. The “stick” cars have a three to 7 speeds forward and one in reverse with a clutch between the engine and the transmission. The Model T Ford does not fall into either category. To drive away is simple enough, once the unconventional control system is clearly understood. Experience with other types of car is apt to produce instinctive reactions, which need to be un-learned before the Model T is handled with proper dexterity. The Model T Ford has two speeds forward and one in reverse. There is no gearshift lever and no clutch between the engine and transmission. To think of the Model T Ford as a “stick” shift will only serve to confuse you. While the transmission has “bands” and a clutch, it is best to not worry about what is inside the transmission and rather how to drive the car using the controls provided. The following sections on the controls will make it clear what functions the various controls are designed to perform. http://www.paddockdrayage.com/DrivingaModelTFord.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The others are still being put together. I am not sure where the under 30's stand... you need to PM Los G about that I would think... he is the Commish of that group.
