Re: New Street tires detrimental to the sport?

You can't compare autocross miles with other forms of racing. We spend a much larger percentage of the time in turns (i.e. we have few straights) and we drive them harder since we don't have to preserve them for multiple laps. Consider that road racers can wipe out a set of tires in a weekend, you'd...

Re: January Event Registration is Now Open!

I'll be missing that weekend due to 24 Hours of LeMons in Sonoma :( If you care about year-end points, don't forget to request your average for the event beforehand with your club rep. Not to rain on anyone's parade, but isn't that allowance only for SCCA Solo and Road Race events (especially as an...

Re: Tolerating wheelspin

Let it spin a bit as long as it's not keeping you from holding your line. But don't light it up. Also, minimize the issue by making sure you're getting more turning done earlier and under trail braking into the turn so you have less turning to do on the way out. Obsess over turning as little as poss...

Re: Missing feature on new web site

John, there's nothing in the rulebook that says you can't contact an e-board member and do business.

Just email Kurt Rahn and get the list when you need it until they figure out how they want to post it on the web. Christine can do the same.
