I'm thinking seriously about buying an 89 CRX si and prepping it for STS2 (or whatever they end up calling it in the future). As I've done some research into what the rules allow, I've run into a few questions I'm hoping someone can answer: 1) I'm a little confused about replacement cats. Reading 1...

Magic wands and special Kool Aid.

I think mine is 7K total so like 4700lbs available.

Same problem here: mine is 7K so I have 5500 lbs available.

Could the rear tires be placed on one of the Uhaul dollies (won't work if the truck's a 4x4)?

Mike

Yeah, that's kind of ridiculous. At one point I thought I saw a proposal for STA, B, C .... Logically, it would be AST, BST, CST, but I don't expect logic. I can imagine a scenario where ST and SP cars are both on course at the same time. Trying to distinguish between AST and ASP on a radio call wo...

Who's on STAC, was it Simanyi? What's the purpose of renaming STS2 into STS in '09. That's going to be confusing as hell to re-use a popular class name like that. Why not something different like ST2 or if you don't like numbers in the class (which I don't), STA, B, C etc. Jay W That was not a STAC...

Pull Axles !? Ug ... are there people to help do these things. I know you're suppose to have a shop manual with you ... but don't some of these things require special tools ? You're supposed to have your own tools and you are responsible for doing the work yourself, but I'm confident your fellow co...

Gang, Just to stop the speculation, we on the STAC were told that the former "impound inspections" that used to apply were being reinstated. If I recall correctly, Andy himself was an advocate of this, explaining to all of us on the conference call that Nationals competitors used to be tol...

Kyle, Bob is right: DOT isn't enough. Is the Motorcycle helmet Snell rated as well though? We don't require SA-rated helmets.

Toby just notified me that the 91 fwy Eastbound will be closed at Green River starting Saturday at 11pm. I'm posting here, but adding the caveat that I can't find any info about that on the CalTrans website.

Personally I'll be taking the 60 just to be sure.

Mike

With the latest cancellations I have all alternates in the practice and one spot left. If anyone is interested, please e-mail me directly.

Mike

Are the work run groups ready yet? thanks Nope. People are still dropping out so I'm shuffling in alternates. I wasn't anticipating that at such a late date but I've decided to hold off to create the work and run groups until tomorrow night. I'll just have them at registration on Saturday. Mike

Woo hoo!! Congrats to the entire Woodruf family!

List is updated...

I also have my GF that could glady cover me at the gate during my walk. ;)

Cam, only full SCCA members can work gate.

Mike

Darren,

Check your e-mail. I just had two more cancellations so you're in.

Kurt, can how are we on gate?

Mike

Students have to be 24 or younger, with a current school ID card. X-runs will still be $25.

I don't recall the details for Juniors but the pricing is correct.

Mike

Sorry Darren, I have you on my (as yet unpublished) alternates list, and you're first in line after I move the two people above you into the two vacated positions, but we really need a volunteer from the current entry list.

Mike

I'm typing this message right now, hoisting a cold one in honor of Tom Tanquary's father who joined Carlin, Russert et al this afternoon, checking off the planet. Please join me and let Tom, Nicole and family know our thoughts are with 'em.

Mike

I'm in the same boat Reijo. I'm driving my own car on Sunday just so I can earn points though. The practice will be key for me!

I think everyone with an SCCAForums.com account gets to vote.

Bl*w me.

And that, kids, concludes today's lesson on the word Perspective. Thanks for watching!

Ashley seems to enjoy the Soothing Sound of a Civic. Care to comment?
