Re: Oil Question

The oil itself will deteriorate sitting on the shelf since the container can never be 100% sealed and over time it will collect moisture and cause it to break down. I don't know how that affects synthetic oil but that's the case for conventional oil. I don't think sitting on a shelf for a year or fo...

Classed wrong

On the July 1st championship I was placed in the wrong class despite having registered in the correct class. Who do I speak with about this issue so I can get my points placed into the correct class?

Re: July 1st Autocross Sunday Registration Open

Don't forget about the first run group, it lasted almost 3 hours and the course was way under staffed and we had to wait the entire day before we event got a chance to run.

Re: Looking for reliable cheap car!

Doesn't a used MINI fit the bill? I was wondering about the Yaris. I actually searched on them used and didn't find much. Bang for the buck on those seems as new. Mazda 2's not bad new either. But still his budget is super tight. Baseball scholarship but not 100%. Expensive private school, dad stil...

Re: Looking for reliable cheap car!

I'll always recommend the Yaris I've never had a car that has been so fantastically reliable as this car has been. I've driven close to 100k on the car most of which has been "aggressive" and it still turns 33-37 mpg even when pushing it I've never seen less than 27 mpg. For the entire 100...

Re: "Them" and "Us" ... Racing Orgs

How many PDX or HPDE events is our region holding this year? As someone who wants to move from solo to open track racing myself my region isn't very appealing to get started. Unless I want to just straight into W2W racing there isn't a path forward for me. As you've said the Time Trials are few and ...

Re: 2nd SCCA Time Trial @ Buttonwillow May 19-20

How does it work if your car is technically a Prepared car but is entirely street legal? Going over the rules it looks like my car would fall under PDX which means it should be okay without the road race tech but I don't want to invest that much time to fail tech over a technicality.
