Camera GOPRO HD, anyone have ideas on how to reduce wind noise. I like the view of the camera mounted on the roof.

Drown out that whisper of a "wind noise" with some exhaust noise----the car is too damn quiet!!! }:) }:)

Yeah, but John must spend most of his time rebuilding a certain FIAT engine-- }:) }:) }:) }:)

For future reference. Maybe someone who specializes in Triumph. Also will need a good engine rebuild in the future. Glendale, Pasadena, Burbank. thanks Chad, I have had great luck with David Anton at APT in Riverside---they are not mechanics but will rebuild your engine to what ever specs you want!...

Steve, We do.

Art, QV and I are attempting to make all the SD events---and of course we trailer the car down.

Mako, I have a Power Caster (powercaster.com) unit that I bought when I had my boat. No more boat......only Power Caster left. It's in storage...I can't remember if it is one or two wheel. I paid about $1,000 for it. My area was flatter than yours. The key for you is grip up the hill. I'll check ov...

I tried three times to pay - no luck. :-( Could you explain what happens? As you register, it should take you to the payment section where you can choose either to pay by check or credit card. Even if on the final attendee list, you will not be charged until the day before the event. Once charged, ...

Ok, I have one car garage in a condo. Already own a boat, fishing gear, horses, and couple of bikes. With a tire trailer, two extra sets of wheels, 12 used tires in the garage. Wife can't get to her freezer after I put the trailer in there this week. I hope I don't need anything more to compete in ...

Not a rule, it's part of the etiquette of racing straight up and not taking advantage of mechanical issues. OTOH, pushing and shoving during the sprint to the finish are OK. And people talk about what a stupid sport soccer is. I got your etiquitte right here. :mrt: If it was like soccer, one of Con...

For those who know Mary Pozzi (multiple SCCA Solo championships to her credit), she was the winner of the open class both days of the event. There are some good pictures of her in her ride in both magazines. I had a chance to ride with her - and I was very impressed at how she made that Gen One Cam...

Once the garage is set, it's a piece of cake to register. I have almost as many cars in my garage at Axware as I have in my red-neck back yard and they are all the same car! I just keep adding cars with different #'s, different T-shirt sizes, different T/$, different cakes (plain chocolate, German ...

Looks like someone bought a VW Bug and threw away all the parts with rust---that is all that was left....

Charles, probably for about the same money as shipping and storing your car for the winter you could arrange a very good co-driver situation for you and your wife with one of the local drivers. A six month period from October thru March with a SoCal Nationally prepared S2000 or equivalent could be b...

Jeff, I bought some Team Dynamics rims a couple of years ago for my Mustang. Just went out to their shop in Ontario and talked to guy named Don and he ordered a special set of 17 x 8's and I got them about a month later, the black ones Pro Race 1.2, cost was $200 each. http://www.teamdynamicsracing....

Anybody know where I can find a Tire Tail? I originally bought mine through an advert. in the back of the Sports Car magazine 4 years ago. Last I heard, the manufacture guy is not making them anymore. Try the used markets, sccaforums, craiglist etc.. Sorry for the bad news. Greg Peng was in your sa...

I'm 5'9" at best and don't fit in KJ's RX8 with helmet! But I also have a problem in the Vette ... short legs mean I have to sit close'ish to the wheel. I'm about 6' and with a helmet on, I fit in my motorhome and that is the only closed auto.... Andy Hollis got in my Mustang and had to slide ...

No, he ws close enough to see that he couldn't get by on the left and so he went by on the right----

I'm putting blame on Vettel entirely. If you're making the move, you have the responsibility to make it stick without creating an incident. Match Webber side-by-side and take the inside line. If you can't do that under braking on the dirty line, then you've chosen a bad place or a bad tactic and sh...

New facility to be built in Austin, Texas:

My main issue with this brand (I had one) is the two small buttons and teeny tiny icons that told you what the buttons were doing. Needed a magnifing glass to make sense out of it. Age/eyesight thing I guess, still. Just get a younger co-driver---QV can see the small icons!! But, on the other hand,...

Jon, make the same deal that you were offered by G. D., $100 a run. That was for 4 runs in SD.

What a deal for a tire warmer.... }:) }:) }:)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but other than Bill Martin, I thought CP driver's couldn't read , much less use a computer; so all should be good, I'd think. I thought that the smart CP guys pass that Class (CP) with A's and move up to advanced studies in EM. I have been waiting for Bill to take that 5.0 ...

Simple question, but... ... the Goodyears with their equipment since the Goodyear sidewalls are much stiffer (I would go back). Where do you get your "race" tires mounted? Thanks, Tom Tom, I had Big O tire in Pomona mount my 20x8x13 Goodyear slicks on my Aero steel wheels---they did a gre...
