Hey, Curt. This one's for you. http://news.yahoo.com/s/usnw/20080702/pl_usnw/president_bush_boosts_porn_industry_with_economic_stimulus_plan__according_to_aimrco :thumbup: I remember having a conversation last year with Kevin Price, during which he mentioned the Porn Protection Act of 2007. I thoug...

Okay Tom, now the really bad news: archeologists have recovered honey from Egyptian tombs. It was still good...

Methinks you'd best tackle the project whenever you'd like a functioning hood.

Any lot less than about 600' x 1,000' is just too small. We have safety requirements that likely keep us at least 75' from each edge, and we need enough space for the pits, tech, registration, timing and scoring and grid to handle all the entrants. As a reference, the lot we use at Cal Speedway is a...

The prototype test went really bad. A miscalculation of lever arm length, vehicle weight, and momentum led to something spectacular.

Define "spectacular."

I kept driving.

I just paid $4.59 for regular in The Pig.

How did you feel that? I would have thought you were numb from sitting in your heated leather seats.

Gio,

Please don't feed the bear. Jason is on a roll!

Bah... turn 'em off in your Control Panel!

Everything loads faster and you don't have to view Max's car in every post.

Impound teardown's aren't fun... But trust me. If I win, I'll be wrenching with a smile on. I remember the drag teardowns late into the evening on Sunday's after the race, with a long haul home facing you. If you were the runner-up and tagged to teardown too, it sucked. If you were the winner it wa...

Well, actually, we do. It's called X-Runs and fun runs. But I'd still argue that in both cases it can be considered instructional. Sure, but I think the key there is it's instructional and neither the driver nor passenger is allowed to do this until they complete their official class runs... assumi...

Is there some sort of Civic exodus going on here?!?

I drove the course as an instructor and spent a couple hours instructing students. That was a fun course! There were a couple really technical turns that, if you drove the corner before them properly, led onto rippin' fast sections. If you overcooked the corner before them, you were crawling. Guess ...

James,

We'll miss you and Allison. Best of luck to you all in Texas! (Watch out for those pesky autox locals... ;) )

Only when they earn it, and are stubborn enough *not* to respond to verbal comments.

Ask Gio how effective it is.

Robert forgot to mention that it's always garaged. At least I always see it in the garage when I'm over his house. Very clean car. I'm surprised Simanyi hasn't bought it already since he's only got 2 or 3 Bimmers laying around. Just one black (shoe), one white (Miata-stompin' shopping cart.) (Hi Bi...

If you're on a tight budget, listen to the advice on Carson trailers or find a used one (even less expensive). If you have a little room, get a Featherlight from their Chino Hills distributor. Aluminum trailers are great not only due to their low weight, but also because they tend to look good for y...

I like them over on the right, they're out of the way. I wish we could move Sigs over there, too. I only need to read someone's sig so many times before it's just visual noise. Almost 50% of the message space on the page is sigs/blank. Which is exactly why I disabled sigs and avatars in my configur...

So that wouldn't be a "computero", but a typo... right? (Typewriter.)

Jayson and / or Rick, Since this will be both a Divisional and count toward local points, do we have provision for people running in their proper National class, yet gaining points for the local class in which they're competing? I'd like Max to be able to run STU in the Divisional and still earn poi...

Seb, We - the E-board - asked you to revise the rungroups. Don't throw yourself into that line of fire! Besides, we can always adapt pretty easily. Even under the "old" setup, with lower participation we probably would've been facing the same problem. It's just something the Event Chair sh...

So you mean... every event. Right Chris?
