Re: Replacement Brake Hoses

What year is your vette?

If he is in a stock class, and his car is 1992 or newer... because it would be against the rules.

My car is a 2000. Mr. Naylor has it correct.

Replacement Brake Hoses

I'm going to replace the brake hoses on the Vette and the OEM hoses are discontinued. Any brand preferences from your experience?

Send a note on just how to do that. Sounds like a good plan.

Anyone got some decent used Hoosier Wets? (Just in case there's a monsoon in Lincoln next month).

Re: Nationals

There's still a slim chance for a second transporter (my only hope) but I couldn't find an event schedule on the SCCA website. Assuming I'll do the Pro and the Tour, when do things start and end? My heads buzzing with flight booking, hotel, car rental, etc.

Why do dogs lick their balls? Because they can! Two guys are walking down the road when they see a dog licking his stuff. One of the guys says " Wow, I wish I could do that". His friend says " You should probably make friends with him first". In any event, we need folks to get o...

Rick,

Thanks for the info. Obviously no idea the transporter filled so quickly. I'm in if a second one becomes viable. If not, not sure how I'll manage getting there.

Speaking as a stock class driver and only on the tire issue (earlier in this thread I expressed my thoughts re mods). In my case it's about a $600 difference in the cost of set of 710's/A6's vs the flavor of the day for street tires. In addition to the delta in cost per set is the difference in the ...

Re: SCCA Solo Class Article/Discussion

IMHO - no bar changes (front or rear), no adjustable shocks, suspension/alignment/lowering only on the factory hardware, any tire on OEM or equal wheels = stock. Anything else is a modification.
