Re: JDP Program Temporarily Suspended

Anthony, Thank you for the update. The response of the "power that must be followed" reminds me that we can only be responsible for our actions, on a local basis. Making "us" responsible for all the out liers is not our responsibility. If we are rewarded by allowing us to have ev...

Re: Tentative COVID-19 Guidelines Starting June 20th

How do I add Samuel as my co-driver so he can come to the event? Mary is working this weekend and I'm on duty.

Re: Junior Karts running this weekend, are they?

Yes, I see that but the registration for the PRO opened up on 6/17/2020 and two participants did register for JA.

Might be a miscue, no?

Junior Karts running this weekend, are they?

Each region is approved to run JA at their Solo events. To be approved for JB or JC a region must have recent experience running Formula Junior karts and must contact the National Office for approval (solo@scca.com). The above was taken from the mother ship web site this morning. There are two kids ...

Re: JDP Program Temporarily Suspended

We got a letter from SCCA, addressed to Samuel, a minor child, that I can or can not open? Without his permission. Am I missing anything? Can this be an issue? I am just the father of a 9th grader, why/how do I have any say in anything to add to this, situation? This might be like being at College F...

Re: Old Results

John,

I would like to Thank You for your efforts on pulling the past into the future. I did run both events in Palm Springs, narrow events and lined with K-rale on the permitter. Yes, they did leave a lasting impression on at least one car.

I hope the results surface.

Re: Historic 1 Proposed Rules change.

The HIST1 engine swap can look like an early Bug Eye 948cc motor exchanged for the 1275cc of the later cars. The same is true if the Mini Coopers. The MGA is a 1500/1600 engine, that cam be swapped for the 1800 from the latter MGB. The larger displacement swaps could be moved to HIST2, if that works...

Re: Historic 1 Proposed Rules change.

Anthony, With the HIST1 cars, up to 1974, the update and backdate of motors is not a California smog registration issue. The swaps are not going to trigger an issue, it would be up to the competitors to arrive at a compromise. The HIST 2 cars in California, to be registered and smog legal have to pa...

Re: Historic 1 Proposed Rules change.

Doug,

I am asking, for Historic2 that adjustable coil on threaded collars with adjustable camber plates "not" be included in the Street classes.

Not a STS starting point.

I will let the participants of HIST1 determine their own class.

Re: Historic 1 Proposed Rules change.

Doug, I am not suggesting we limit the Historic 2 to just E and H Street. Until we have anyone running we will not know the effect of a HCS level of preparation on a group of cars with production starting in 1975. What I am asking for is HCS preparation allow for spring that could be other than stoc...

Re: Historic 1 Proposed Rules change.

To Rick's point, let's keep it local. I would ask for a class that lets the newer, old cars run as a group. My request is for cars starting in 1975 that are not apart of the continuation of the Historic 1 list of cars. The preparation of the cars would be to the intent of the current SCCA rule book....
