I'm partial to the Macallan 18 y.o. Highland Single Malt. And Don Julio 1942.

Just not together.

Bob, I think you'll like Tom's decision.

Which one wouldn't be the brutally honest one?!?

The American version really needs its own Captain Slow. I'm not naming names (Gio), but can any of you suggest someone? ;)

Yeah, why is solo$ a problem? Its a solution, gesh. Our only problem with solo$ is getting them current at registration in a timely fashion. You better make damn sure its clear in big ol' neon blinking lights well ahead of time that its cash only at reg. Solo$ is a solution to a different problem. ...

A couple comments, merely my personal opinion: Regarding PayPal payments, it would be *much* better to pay with cash at the event. We do not have any method established at this time to accept event registration via PayPal, and if we do manage to implement that you'll pay a small service charge on to...

Has anyone else ever had trouble running their country ham down the disposal? My 8.4hp Dispos-o-matic (by Ronco™) just blew threw the kitchen wall, glowing red like Max Mosley's hindquarters at one of his shindigs, all thanks to one measly little hock. And while I'm getting some answers, can someone...

Chris found that on Sunday.

Does anyone know what happens to a clutch-based LSD when one wheel is instantly going 1500 rpm faster than the other?

ok i figured it out... Bills car needs a 6speed trans that he drives all the time in 3rd gear with the standard 6sp final drive ratio to give a top speed of 79mph at 7500rpm. combine that with a 1.8l turbo motor with a turbo sized to spool at ~3000rpm so that you're in boost by 30mph in 3rd with 2n...

And what I'm saying is that if I had power to go with my sports car's good handling, and dare I say, good driving, on that power course, I wouldn't have been so far out, in seconds, from Andy (2.5secs.!) PAXing 2.5 secs. out is nothing to write home about. hahah true. So when do we build your car u...

Yep, get that setup and let Katy Nicholls kick yer butt! Seriously, that's what I'd do for a cost-effective autox car. The real bonus is Mazda's support program. Register through MazdaMotorsports.com (requires your SCCA membership and some other easier stuff), compete in the car for at least two eve...

STX and STU: Brake rotors may be replaced with any rotor of equal or larger diameter made from a ferrous or aluminum alloy. This is a joke or a mistake right? Aluminum alloy brake rotors (if there is such a thing for automobiles) are legal but smaller diameter steel rotors are not? Smart machinists...

By the way, who was announcing the 3rd heat? I didn't recognize the voice, but then again that's not one of my strong points.

I'm not positive, but that may have been our own Reverend Curtis Luther.

Mari,

You're simply addressing the admin error, not the citation itself. I'm sure the "deadlines" won't apply, but I'd still jump on this as soon as possible.

Max drives a Miata.

He plays a Subaru driver on video.

The MCoupe has the Blaupankt Business Radio... Yeah that's a luxo model.

That's "BIDNESS" - get it right!

Pete was pretty sick last weekend ... didn't bring his best game wtf was going on in SD, there were a lot of sick people down there... I was sick as well, still am. :( That water I sprayed you with was poisoned. Armor All - for that Hella Sweet shine on the treads - doubles as a "quick draw&qu...

With Sirus satellite radio and a 1200 watt subwoofer. How long would the batteries last driving that load? ;)

Okay... but I need a special allowance.

2006 GMC 1500 with shell and bed slider
1995 M3 or 1990 Miata
Here's the allowance: can the M coupe be considered my luxury car?

And a puppy, please.

See, the thing about puppies is we've gone all A.D.D. on 'em.

I'm with you on that R8 Ashley.

Pete is going down.... I have a little extra zoom in my garage that should make KJ even quicker this weekend.

This sounds entertaining...

just checked Iron Canyon's site and no seat mount. I plan on re-fabricating my seat bracket and switching to different side mount pieces to get the seat lower. The Sparco side brackets bulge out at the bottom, which makes fitment a huge pain. I e-mailed Mark about it earlier today and got a respons...

Actually, the Suzuka S - as shown here - is the standard version. The Suzuka GT is the slightly wider version. Sorry about the misinformation... which is doubly "wrong" since I have the GTs installed in the BMW! Subesports did say the standard version will fit, but it would be snug. The r...

Of course, it smells bad.

Not if your olfactory system is fried out from the Fontana Funk...

Subesports told me the S version won't fit a Miata, but the standard version will.

OK, maybe I am stirring the pot a little, but I think it's time that SCCA take a look at the "if it doesn't say you can, then you can't" statement and perhaps qualify it a bit. Everyone, go ahead and flame away, I won't be reading any of the replies. Bucky, the rest of the rule book "...
