Re: FS: SK2 92' Miata

I want the car too, but have place to put it now. We have 4 cars now, just dropped $2750 for tuition, and still need to buy books. Plus I don't have any time to Auto X with the end of cycling season coming up. I might see all of you in October at AutoClub. I will be spending September 25th and 26th ...

Re: FS: Car Trailer

Oh well, I guess I'm looking for an enclosed trailer to be honest. Since my '73 Datsun Z is unregistered, I need a place to hide the car (Datsun) instead of wasting garage space. My poor 350Z is stuck outside in the sun (draped with a car cover of course), and I would like to move it back into the g...

OK, I'll stop by on my ride tomorrow. I'm riding that direction tomorrow, down Irvine Blvd. so it's just off my route.

Re: WT Borrow/Rent Tow Vehicle

I have an '87 Suburban with a 454. It's not pretty, but it works. Only 57,000 miles on it and it has the tow package. I won't be in town that weekend, but you can pick it up the weekend before.

Re: Safety Steward training session, December 5th!

Don't need to be an SSS to render aid or note an unsafe condition to people in charge. I think an SSS needs 2-3 years experience at least to understand the game and have the respect of other event officials. It rarely gets heated, but there is subtle push you have to deal with when clamping down. I...

Is this something open to New and Novice competitors? Dennis, I recommend you strike up a conversation with Brian Robertson about this. I don't see anything in the rule book (Page 243 of the 2009 Solo Rules) excluding novices, but I believe one of the qualifications is a "reasonable" amou...

Re: 2009 Solo National Championships, Sept 5th-11th

The absolute SOLE difference 2nd heat was that some first drivers got one dry run before Lincoln AirPark went underwater. Those that put down a clean first lap in the dry beat nearly a 100% of those that ran in the wet. Rain tires didn't matter. It was about when you ran and if you could seize the ...
