Have we ever had a bike go trough one of our courses?
I'm curious if there is any chance for the cars (meaning the things with 4 wheels that still remind cars - not formula F etc) to be faster than a 600cc bike.
All these assuming a tight track - like the ones we have in local events.

Do the deposits taste like soy beans?

Hi Jayson
I wasn't aware of that - no I'm running the stock 1994 ignition system

0.30 was a suggestion by someone running 12-15 psi on gas.
I'm running 15-17 on E85 so if you have another recommendation I'm more than open to hear it.

At the last event in Fontana, my car couldn't really accelerate. Dr. House of cars (a.k.a. Marshall) said that it sounded like no spark and recommended to re-check the gap of my sparkplugs. I removed the plugs and I noticed that the gap instead of 0.30-0.32 was more than 0.40. I adjusted the gap and...

I was 8yo when Richard Tharp invited me to sit in the Candies & Hughes Top Fuel dragster. It went on to win 5 races and the championship right after I sat in it. :) Good karma. And something I'll never forget! http://www.nhra.net/50th/top50/r_tharp49.html" onclick="window.open(this.hr...

How is the suspension?
How much the insurance wants to buy it back?
It seems to me that with a couple of doors and fenders you can have it back on the road...

If I were you I would try to sell it on eBay as is... and not to part it out.

Congrats Christine and Marshall!

Btw by combining their genes I'm sure that your grandson/daughter will be a world champion in F1 or WRC Tom

I'm not sure if it's normal, I believe I need to change the engine mounts. I don't aggressively looking for a solution to that right now because I changed the front wheel with a spare and the vibration stopped. Therefore I figured out that the vibration of the engine was not related with the vibrati...

Good idea, I checked but these wheels are still expensive - even used - definitely more than double the amount of money for straightening

Thank you guys and gals.
it turns out two of my rims were bent ... let me know if you know of a good and cheap place to straighten the wheels.

By the way it all started after I gave the car for alignment and I kind of feel that maybe something happened there. There was a clanking noise coming from the steering while turning (after the alignment was done). That makes me think that I might also need to adjust the steering rack preload – mome...

Thanks, Lily, I'll check that. What I already have done is to check that all the wheels lugs are tight - but it might worth to remove them and torque them in right sequence. Still I'm not sure how this will explain why the vibration stops when I don't apply the throttle. George, the vibration is lik...

Hi guys At this point I really need as much help as I can get. Here is the issue. Audi 2002 A6 3.0 CVT (FWD) Crazy vibration even at low speeds (30 mph and up to 80+mph) when throttle is applied. It seems like coming from he right side of the front wheel. Even though the cult-print of the phenomenon...

Hey guys

Unfortunately I'll need to cancel for this weekend since we'll be out of town.
This is for my gf

talking about cancellations... I'll be out of town so I won't be able to make it
Therefore I need to cancel, please do not charge my cc.

I just paid for the practice on Friday, I hope it won't rain
I'll also be there on Saturday to help if you need me - I'll be my gf's sponsor - I assume there is no need to register with my name anywhere for Saturday right?

Yes, not doubt for the quality of service and parts from Jeff!
I already emailled him this morning!

AX6 pads are great, IMO, they are similar to the Axxis Ultimates but more aggressive on initial bite which doesn't allow much modulation. I'd be careful about the dust on the AX6 though, they will bake onto your rims. :( On another note, comparing the Stoptech Pads to the Axxis Ultimate Brake Pads ...

Thanks KJ

I need some opinions on this. I have had the Axxis ultimates pads on my car for the last 5 years. I was always happy with them but now that I need to replace them I want to know if there is something better out there. I hear a lot of good things about the Carbotech pads and I want the opinion of som...

How can I pay for this event?
Do I need to create a new account for my gf (who of course is not SCCA member), or there is a way to bill it to my account?
I just hate filling up forms }:)

Hi Lisa

I would like to bring my girlfriend to try it out }:)
Her name is:
Lucy Hajian (lucyv5757@yahoo.com)

and probably she would be driving a corrola or an infinity (we need to decide)
Let me know if you want more information.

Thanks
Chris

That's fine guys I fully understand!

Thanks
chris

Does this cancelation leave any hope?
Is there a waiting list?
