Re: Replacement Brake Hoses
Keep in mind that GM has issued a tsb re: ss brake lines causing issues with wheel speed sensors, some have problems some don't may be MY specific. Can't do SS in stock anyway. When the shop I took the car to called the local GM dealer for hoses they were told the oem hoses are "a discontinued...

Re: Replacement Brake Hoses
My car is a 2000. Mr. Naylor has it correct.What year is your vette?
kj
If he is in a stock class, and his car is 1992 or newer... because it would be against the rules.

Replacement Brake Hoses
I'm going to replace the brake hoses on the Vette and the OEM hoses are discontinued. Any brand preferences from your experience?

Don,
Send a note on just how to do that. Sounds like a good plan.

Anyone got some decent used Hoosier Wets? (Just in case there's a monsoon in Lincoln next month).

Re: Stock Street Tire Idea?
by John Stimson on 06 Jul 2011 21:21 I dunno, I like the idea and I'm in an S2000. I don't seem to be the only one either. San Diego seems to have a fair number of serious competitors in SK1. And before you say it's just an S2000 thing, Jeff Cashmore has been running his B Stock Corvette on street ...

Re: Nationals
There's still a slim chance for a second transporter (my only hope) but I couldn't find an event schedule on the SCCA website. Assuming I'll do the Pro and the Tour, when do things start and end? My heads buzzing with flight booking, hotel, car rental, etc.

Re: Transporter to 2011 Nats - 4 spots left 7/1/11
Why do dogs lick their balls? Because they can! Two guys are walking down the road when they see a dog licking his stuff. One of the guys says " Wow, I wish I could do that". His friend says " You should probably make friends with him first". In any event, we need folks to get o...
Re: Nationals
Rick,
Thanks for the info. Obviously no idea the transporter filled so quickly. I'm in if a second one becomes viable. If not, not sure how I'll manage getting there.

Not sure if this is the right place on the forum for this, but here goes. I've decided to go to Lincoln this year for the whole deal, Pro and Tour. I'm planning on getting a spot on the transporter, but beyond that I'm clueless about hotels, flights into (which city), ground transport, possibly gett...

Holy moly, the dude was really moving the wheel. I didn't catch it until the replay. New shorts for most folks.

Re: SCCA Lincoln ProSolo - Results
I've always LFB'd my automatic trans cars (30 years since I've had a manual daily driver) so you'd think transitioning to LFB in my autocross car would be relatively seamless. That hasn't been the case. It's particularly difficult in hard breaking situations where I instictively put my right foot ov...

I also have a triple mount you can use. Almost new - probably used 4-5 times. I'll sell it to you at a good discount.Kurt Ra on 20 May 2011 09:33

Re: Snaaakes
A couple of years ago my brother-in-law stepped out of his back door right on to a baby rattler, which apparently pissed the snake off. After the B-I-L got bit several times, his foot, his jaw, as well a other areas of his body swelled up, he began feeling nausious, all within minutes. My sister-in-...

Re: SCCA Solo Class Article/Discussion
Speaking as a stock class driver and only on the tire issue (earlier in this thread I expressed my thoughts re mods). In my case it's about a $600 difference in the cost of set of 710's/A6's vs the flavor of the day for street tires. In addition to the delta in cost per set is the difference in the ...

Re: SCCA Solo Class Article/Discussion
IMHO - no bar changes (front or rear), no adjustable shocks, suspension/alignment/lowering only on the factory hardware, any tire on OEM or equal wheels = stock. Anything else is a modification.

I would also like to get some ballpark numbers re the cost of the transporter, airfare, car rental, lodging, etc. from folks that have been there. Also would like to know what day the transporter gets there and leaves (based on last years experience). Obviously I'm thinking about going this year, bu...
