You are, Tom, as always most welcome! Glad you could it make it and that we could provide a welcome to the sport for your friends.

We were hoping we could clone you guys to prevent worker shortage.

One spot open; room for more Jr. karts.

This will be a Run/Work/Rest event, three heats in the morning, three in the afternoon.Junior Karts* will run during an informal lunch break, in other words, the break lasts as long as it takes for them to run. *There is room for more Junior Karts. 1. Doug Teulie 2. Bob Beamesderfer 3. David Barrish...

Please go to the PSCC section and make sure your name is on the practice entry list. Thanks!

As somebody else pointed out on the Thunderhill Facebook page, an Austrian-backed, British-based team with French engines and a Japanese luxury brand sponsor plays the U.S. national anthem. In New Jersey, across from Manhattan.

It looks like i'm going to replace my power steering pump due to intermittant failure in slaloms and tight zig-zags. Any thoughts on upgraded fluid? Good quality synthetic. I ran Amsoil in my '94. When I first got it, the pump would cavitate in slaloms leaving me with more resistance than assist. F...

Only the one in my 2002 daily driver. And it doesn't always want to go up; previous owner could have gotten it fixed for free under warranty because of a TSB, but didn't bother.

Bringing this back to the top.

Any and all of the stuff listed in the first post is free for the taking. I need to clear this stuff because I'm not going to take it with when it comes time to move. So claim stuff now or it's headed to the scrap yard.

What about what Toby suggested this morning? Looking at Corona; Seb, what do you say? Toby thought that there were a lot of Japanese companies in Irvine (is that your experience, Sean?) for Keiko to work at and if your company air ships from Japan, perhaps it will come through March air base - so C...

I've been very happy with AAA. Was with Farmers for years, but when I had a second water claim in one year and the idiot from Servpro saw some mold on the wall under the sink--that was there when we bought the house three years before--he reported it to the insurance company. Didn't matter that it w...

Former member of the BoD and area director, club racer, steward of the sport and all-around good guy. He was 82. He came to the aid of the our Solo program when a certain faction (mostly one person) in Papa Cal Club was trying to take over the program.

On a different note, Craftsman tools (non-electric / powered) have a life time warranty. You do not need a receipt to exchange them. The cheapest way to pick them up is to watch garage sales, and take in used /broken tools, and exchange them for brand new pieces. These two ways are how I have amass...

The Yaris barely qualifies as a car.

Sebastian Rios wrote:Yeah, kind of a bummer, seems to be a popular car. I'm not positive, but I think in this case SCCA is not letting it run at all, rather than just banning it from Stock category like some other models with rollover potential.

Not that popular so far, it's a sales flop.

http://www.autoweek.com/article/20120301/NHRA/120309991 This reminds me of all the whiners in my area regarding airport noise. The airport has been there since the beginning of time (strange but true), but the neighbor groups are always trying to shut it down, mostly citing noise as the reason. So ...

Bloody hell! You moved next door to a racetrack/airport/military installation and now you've noticed it's noisy? Buy some ear plugs.

No, there was another one there, hood paint was half gone. I recently bought a Miata for RallyX. Besides the 'fun for buck' factor, just about everyone who autoxes has owned one. So there's a plethera of local spare parts and repair expertise. I bet there's 10 people reading this that'll change a m...

BMW calls the X5 an SAV... Not an SUV. I wonder if the SEB would buy that. ;) Both the X5 in higher models and the Cayenne Turbo have sport modes that lower the vehicle for handling. I've taken an X5 M to the limit. Tadd has probably done the same to a Cayenne Turbo. Those vehicles still have shiny...

Granted, I have ridden in a 2008 GC SRT8, driven pretty fast around the big track at Willow Springs, BUT, the driver was Sam Moses, who holds several track records in various classes at Riverside and Willow Springs, and because it was a press even he was not pushing it anywhere near 10/10ths. It was...

"The idea is to keep it rare and keep the demand high" Hooray for marketing! :cry: If they follow through on that, they're complete idiots. Unless you're Porsche, Ferrari, Mercedes, Aston Martin, etc. you can't do that. The cost of developing a brand new platform (remember, neither compan...

Irwindale update from the track's PR guy: STATEMENT FROM NU-WAY INDUSTRIES, INC. There have been numerous rumors regarding Irwindale Speedway. Please permit this statement to provide clarification: 1) THE PERMANENT TRACK GRANDSTANDS ARE NOT (NOR ARE THEY IN ANY DANGER OF) BEING TORN DOWN. There was ...

The other thing I forgot to mention about an 800 number is it gives you another means of tracking the effectiveness of your SEO. People might not click through every time you appear in a search, but the call has more value than a click.
