+1 The ST43's are great pads.

Nice chattin' with you at the track, Josh. Did you get that part delivered? Easy for me to say now, but I could have done that for you. I didn't see the post until now though. :shrug:

Well the Spec Miata guys in the San Francisco Region pretty much unanimously agree that the R888 is not as fast as the RA1 and believe it or not, some of these guys know how to set up a car. I got a...

James,

Thanks for the input on the incident. That's how I see it too, but his pit was sure trying to convince me otherwise. We parted on good terms agreeing to disagree. Sometime it's hard to see...

Josh,

He was passing me inside of T7 only because he had a big run on me up the hill to T7 with more HP. Back in the carousel (T6) I left him though, thus me thinking I'm faster in corners.

I’m bored, the racing season is over, and I still have racing on the brain. So, I want to describe a racing incident that I was involved a couple of weekends ago and see what the opinions are out...

Okay, since you asked.... I set the ITC track record at Laguna Seca, eclipsing the one that was set by Barry Hartzel back in 1996. Earlier in the season I missed the ITC record at Thunderhill...

Nice race Rylan, congrats on the win. You guys (Rob, Randy, Mark and you) have been putting on some great shows this year. Very fun to watch.

I've been involved in three of these in the past couple of years where the guilty PUY party waved the other car back by while still under yellow, and each time 1.) the original PUY was not seen by...

Not only CAN you drive fast to catch up to the pace group during a full course yellow, you are ENCOURAGED to do so, and not only by those behind you, but also by the emergency crews dealing with the...

I'm having a good season so far. I race my slow-but-great-handling 510 against faster Miatas and RX7s in the group 5 race. Your video looked like most of my races (but faster). They beat you down...

I was pitted next to Wardlow and Kibort and I watched that race from the stands. That was exciting.
I feel your pain with the slower on the straights, faster in the corners. That's very...

I believe all of this to be true and is a separate issue when it comes whether or not the activity is done for compensation.

Secondly, the Federal DOT number requirement in the commercial truck...

I should have prefaced my answer not to replace the cage with the excellent point that was made on safety. I was only answering based on the question of lowering lap times.

I bought my car...

For whatever this is worth, my friend and I run identical looking '72 Datsun 510s in ITC. Mine has a welded-in Autopower cage that we put in two years ago. His has a custom cage similar to a few...

I have not missed a race since 2004, but unfortunately I have to sit this one out, along with a few other race weekends this season. However, I am told that there will be a Thunderhill track...

[attachmentid=935]Not a Z car, but I thought some would like this anyway.

Having technical difficulties. Sorry.

That's me alright. There actually were four 510s. There was another red one with the same paint and decal scheme as mine along with the white one and the orange one.

Last season we had ten...

Hey Jake,

Didja get one of my red datsun 510? Mine is #33, my teamate's is #3.

All good points and very well stated answers. However, to my comment regarding "Spec" Miata, I have always wondered why one can be had for $24,000 and is consistantly four to five seconds a lap...

That car #30 with the in-car camera absolutely blew by those other "spec" cars down every long straight. What is spec about the motors in that class? Yep, just like "spec" Miata. I like the idea...

Generally speaking, I agree with Lawton that 10 to 12 cycles is when the Hoosiers start to go away. Oddly enough though, like spknssz, my fastest laps have at times also come on Hoosiers with 12+...

.... in the padock at Thunderhill[attachmentid=818]

[attachmentid=819].....and here's after a little slip in T10 at Infineon.

You'd be at least 14,000lbs empty, meaning at least 22,000 gross. You would then need to figure out how much of that goes over each axle to determine if you are overloading either axle.

What...
