It would be best to have the Cal Club person responsible for the El Toro site ask his AMCI contact about this. I am quite sure that the only way to do this is to have security, approved by Irvine PD, be on site from 10 PM to 6AM. It comes down to whether the renter can cover this extra cost. Disclai...

When was the Pro at Crow's Landing? Ah, Crows Landing! The wild west of AutoX. Crow' s Landing was the birth place of the American Autocross Series. The late Larry Park created the series so he could stretch the legs of his 600+ hp BP Corvette(and he could drive too). I was a newbie and entered the...

I feel old and so should Chris... Lemoore was the first big, grippy site I ever went to back in 1990-91? It was like arriving at the gates of heaven after having only run at the Pleasanton Fairgrounds prior to that. That event was open to all the base people and we had a great time hanging out with ...

Street Prepared: any news on wings for us? I have been waiting to put a proper device on my CSP car since I drove these older cars sometime ago.

If these cars get moved to CSP it would make for a very interesting class. Fun to watch. As far as speculating which car would be best, I would hope that the Miata is the car to have but If I had more money I would be buying an S2000. The Miata has 500 less lbs, 80 hp less, 35 less lb-ft, 1.5" ...

Christo, The shock mount is the issue. When I had seen their picture I had assumed that there was room for the shock to slide into them and that the shock body was even shorter than mine. These mounts will not work properly for an SP/SM Miata with 3012s. I am not sure that flipping them will work we...

The CSP MIata has more cornering grip than the BSP Evo, so on a course consisting of sweepers only(no straights) the Miata should be faster. The Evo is just a little better in Slalom, Braking and much better in Acceleration. Overall, the Evo should be faster on the majority of Solo 2 courses, but no...

Back in 2005, one week before Nationals, I decided to replace my oil pressure sensor. Well, the block casting where the pressure sensor threads in, broke off the block(the mechanic had tightened it so much that it had cracked )!!! So, Tom S. comes to my rescue and suggests that I JB Weld the block b...

I remember that event! Fun times. Actually there were far more "exciting" course designs(1995?) that even used the banked 3-lane corner before this event. AVERAGE(not max) speed for the fastest stock class car was around 49 - 51 mph, if I remember correctly(those days one of the GRA member...

That is great news. I am very happy that Dan' s investment will pay off. Looking forward to divisionals and tours in AZ!

Jonathan,

I think I have 7" 550s. I will confirm and give you a call.

Powder coating involves some heat. How much does that heat affect the wheel I do not know. What I do know is that the coating acts like an insulating barrier and when the brakes transfer heat to the wheel, dissipating all this energy gets even harder. Chrome plating is even worse(Nissan has issued T...

[quote="Jason Isley BS RX8 What it says on the side of the car, and what is under the hood are two entirely different things. ;)[/quote] Jason is correct, various engine options have/are being considered for this car. I did its initial shakedown early fall of last year and found it to be very e...
