What's your current track setup?

I've been in my industry (heavily involving fiberglass cutting, trimming, drilling, etc.) for 13 years, I still get the irritation/itchy every time I go out to the production floor.

I second the disposable overalls. I deal with that stuff at work everyday. Our guys at the factory would tape any possible openings shut so no dust will find its way into the arms or legs through any loose openings. They also wear some type of beanie to prevent dust on their hair. Also keep the over...

I'm currently having a similar experience with FStreet which is why I like the S1,S2, S3 classes. At any given event there's maybe only 2 or 3 FStreet cars. A bigger indexed class gives me more competition which I enjoy. Last year was great with RTR but I think the consensus was that most didn't li...

Jay can make reflective numbers too if you really wanted.

So, if I read the proposed rules correctly, FS will include E46 and E92 BMW M3's as well as regular E46 and E92 3-series and 1-series. What is the logic behind this? With tighter suspension, more front negative camber and an LSD, aren't the M cars faster? That is exactly my thought too. I wanted to...

So what's with the gutting of D Stock? It seems like a pretty big jump to pull all the RWD cars out of DS and throw them in FS. Also given the performance characteristics of the old REX vs the new one if that goes through it might be time to drop that car into G Street. What was SAC thinking??? Jus...

I'm a member of both groups.

Yep, or (as was pointed out) offset control arm bushings can give gains. But, both are seen as not reasonable, it seems. In one case, you're replacing a significant component of the oem design (control arm). In the other, you are required to either hire a shop or have on hand specialized tools to d...

Hey Vincent, I bought that same car for my granddaughter. Perhaps we can arrange a run-off? :lol: We'll need an additional kids' course at El Toro next time. :lol: Did you get the white one too, George? Racing blue......and just a bit of a warning, my granddaughter is a seasoned pro. She's be train...

We'll need an additional kids' course at El Toro next time.

Did you get the white one too, George?

Nah, I won't protest them...until they beat me

This Mini CooperS can do the entire course flat-out, no lift. Bet you can't do that in your Mini, Kurt.

Got a new Mini CooperS. So Kurt, you'll have some competitions.... http://vwong.net/images/temp/mini-cooper-s-1.jpg http://vwong.net/images/temp/mini-cooper-s-2.jpg http://vwong.net/images/temp/mini-cooper-s-3.jpg Oh...since these are brand new drivers, course workers need to pay attention because y...

It's a bit late, but I'll post it anyway. These were from Saturday PM because my cameras didn't record the quickest runs from Sunday.

I have a M95 but the liner has tears on it. If it's ok with you, I'll bring it tomorrow.

Not sure what package Charter you have, have you look through all the channels? With Charter, NBC Sports is channel 410, or 725 if you have their HD package.

If you asked me 2 months ago, I wouldn't be opposed to this. But now, I would because I have to undo a stock legal mod.

Awesome, we have a class now. Let the trash talks begin.....Audi vs. Subaru!!! }:)

Not an LTD but close enough. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4mAbswOf3k8&feature=player_embedded http://www.autoblog.com/2012/10/02/meet-dick-eytchison-and-his-autocross-65-chevelle/ Hmm that place looks familiar. Sorry about the off topic, I just couldn't resist. Very cool....but one problem. T...

Rims: Allow any car with a rim size smaller than a 15x7 an upgrade to that size. Allow those with 19+ to move down to a 18" rim. Allow a +/- 1/2" width change with the exception of the above minimum size upgrade Reasoning. Both 13/14's and 19+ are difficult sizes to find deceit tires to r...

Before anyone turns their world upside down, remember...it's just a proposal at this point. The funny thing is any time a rule change is passed (I know this a proposal) someone figures out a way to go faster and more money is spent doing it. Racing is like that. Most rule changes over the past 10 y...

I thought the concept is good, but there are a few things I don't like. 1. Camber allowance appears to apply only to McPherson strut suspension, and not A-arm suspension. (Good for my BMW, bad for my Audi) 2. Minimum treadwear stays the same at 140 through 2015 and beyond. 3. Like Sean said, open up...

It's generally frown upon if your first post is a for sale post. You will probably be fine since you know some of the regulars like Oli T Emilio Cervantes and Vincent Wong.

I didn't know you're on TrackHQ.com.

Good luck with the sale, KJ.

My only clean run of the day.
