Been watching the Isle of Man TT races on TV and video for years One day I'll be there for the races. Its on the list with LeMans, Indy, and the Monaco GP. And don't anyone bother posting the video of the Subaru driver getting a little sideways during a demo lap at the Isle of Man. It just doesn't c...

$100 is very reasonable considering the pan R&R.

The make cookies and have branched off into automotive.

2. Roll cages may be added; it is strongly recommended that roll cages be constructed according to the GCR, though they must be bolted (not welded) into the automobile and be contained within the driver/passenger compartment. A roll cage has more than four attachment points to the body or frame, or...

Back when Bryan and I were doing OTC, we had a trick that could only be used once. We would run the first session of the day and post a quick time (but not as fast as we could go) and then fake a mechanical problem. We would work on that while our competitors would go out and run their sessions and ...

In a time trial if you do more then 3 or 4 laps in a session you're just wearing out your tires. In most cases, your fast laps will be in the morning.

A little closer to reality at WSIR:

A three or five year grandfather clause would be a good idea. People can also remove the full cage and install a roll bar that meets the Solo2 rules. There are no proposed changes to that section.

Thank you Mike! ************ John Coffey, Your letter has been reviewed by the Safety committee, and a recommendation has been made to the SEB. The SEB will review your letter and the Safety committee's recommendation on their next conference call. Your letter details are below: Letter #5801 Title: ...

Thanks Lisa. Hang in there Renee.

I think you'd have problem curing the powder coat. I believe it takes an oven cure in the 350-400 degree range. A couple of years ago I looked into having some wheels powder coated and several places that do that sort of thing recommended against doing aluminum wheels used in competition do to the ...

This is the main reason SCCA Club Racing has not approved E85 for road racing. The formulas are all over the place across the country. i thought it wasn't approved because it fails all of scca fuel tests much like most pump gas is also illegal in scca road racing. Changing the tests such that e85 p...

For clarity....tech passed me. Someone contacted safety steward who deemed roll bar to be non compliant Exactly the way its normally happens. Unfortunately Tech is really not equipped or trained to determine roll bar/cage legality. Yes I can remove it but I am convinced by analysis that it provides...

Along those same lines, my step daughter is big into the holistic food, medicine, life thing. Whenever we meet for dinner I get the lecture about eating right, yada, yada, yada. I finally shut her up by saying, "Every adult male in our family, except two, going back at least three generations h...

Correct. Tech cannot pull the sticker on a car with an invalid roll bar/cage. All they can do is determine that the structure in the car is/is not a roll bar/cage. They might be able to inform the Safety Steward or Even Chair that there is an unsafe structure in the car but that would be a tough cal...

Well... if you read 13.2.1 and Appendix C it only strongly recommends that a roll CAGE meet the GCR requirements. It doesn't have to and you can build a legal Solo2 roll cage out of any tubing you want, once you meet the roll bar requirements (and even that requirement can be challenged). So the for...

Just made it up on the spur of the moment. Feel free to spread it around. No copyright claimed.

The "normal" procedure for addressing a rule issue: 1. Make the change to your car. 2. Act dumbfounded when someone mentions that the change might not be legal. 3. Post on all your car fan-boy web sites about how unfair the rule is. 4. Read all the sympathetic, whiner posts on those fan-bo...

There is no universal best. No best spark plug, no best tire, no best big chrome foot gas pedal. Figure out your budget, how often you want to change those plugs, and if you want any performance improvement (not likely with plugs). That should help you decide what works "best."

Really, really cool!
