I was working corner 5 that weekend at RA. I was the idiot jumping up and down at you on the cool down lap. I was yelling at you to get past a Miata and you finally did. Later you...

Geez Bill that sucks. Whats wrong with it? Were you planning on doing the Milw. Region Road America event b-4 Blackhawk in July?

I had to shorten my racing season just to afford the extra cost of your towels Bill http://ITForum.ImprovedTouring.com/smile.gif We are going to have both of our cars there too, assuming nothing...

I was also an instructor that weekend. Tony blew by my silver Ford Taurus numerous times during the drive arounds. He did lobby the instructors on your behalf and we did keep an eye out...

Interesting stuff. I understand his point on drilled rotors. I still don't think it would be bad if we were allowed to upgrade brake systems to after market units like Brembo, Baer...

My 2 cents is why don't they just allow slotted and drilled? Whats the difference? I would prefer brakes upgrades too. I know its a matter of trying to keep costs down, but isn't it also a safety...

Check the Milwaukee Region SCCA website, scca-milwaukee.org. Follow the photos link and scroll down to the video link. There are two Blackhawk videos, one in a Miata and the other in a BMW. During...

We are going to be at Hobbs on Sunday. This "hot rod" is the car we put together for my cousin Emily. We'll see you there, and I look forward to talking about Crx corner weights all day.
...

Question for all you Crx guys out there. We are scaling our 1990 Crx. As the car sits on the scales in a neutral stance the front left corner is heavy. Any suggestion on how to shift the weight a...

I'm considering running these this year because of price and contingency money. I have run Hoosiers for four years. How do the Kumhos compare. Are they more durable, or do they go off? I run a...

What is your tow vehicle? An enclosed trailer provides alot more wind resistance when towing so your current tow vehicle will have to be able to handle it. I personally wouldn't get an enclosed...

I towed with a 97 Jeep Cherokee straight 6 cyl. for two years. The listed towing capacity was 5000 lbs. I was pulling a 16ft. open steel trailer and a CRX. I think my total towing weight was about...

Holy Spec Me Otters Batman, 6 classes,Wow! Maybe its time to change the name to SMCCA, Spec Miata Car Club of America. My original question still remains, what is SSM, spec spec miata?

--Bill
...

One other question. With so many class options for Miatas, when does spec, stop being spec?
--Bill

Excuse me for being ignorant, or out of the loop, but, what is SSM? I'm still trying to get used to SMT. Seems like too much alphabet soup. That would mean that there are 4 classes that Miatas can...

One more vote for the OPM unit. Yes its not the most sophisticated piece, but, it sure does work in my CRX. Plus, Tom is a great guy to work with, and will always answer questions. Alot of really...

Actually, thats all those ads are really good for. Maybe we can take up a collection and donate rolls of paper towels and hand soap in lieu of a worker fund at Blackhawk

Greg, I agree with you regarding Blackhawk. It was brutal before Ray Irwin bought it. I really like the place. Its a laid back atmosphere. Everyone is friendly, and being small it allows...

I've been too Heartland Park, though I have never driven it. Mid-ohio is a much superior drivers track with different radius corners, and elevation changes etc. Unless it has changed, the front...

Thanks Lawrence, I'll be in touch, I've got a few other procedural type questions. I'll shoot you an e-mail in the near future.

I'm interested in licensing requirements too. I had a SCCA national in 2003, but didn't run in 2004. I think SCCA will waive me, whats Nasa's stance? They do seem to be a pretty good bang for the...

Greg makes excellent points. Its all about temperature. I have used one set of Hoosiers for a season, for four consectutive years. I run 5 double regionals a year. My car is a CRX. After every...

I think the replys say it all, but I will also throw in my 2 cents. Talk is cheap, or as our race team calls it, "spinning and going no where. Quit the b**ching and actually do something if you are...

This is what I hate about e-mail/message board posting. I didn't mean to sound like a jerk, but it came off that way in print. You are correct on the proper term for that hitch, I was...

Can someone explain the me the underdrive pulley rules. I'm confused, do they take effect on 1/1/2006. What can we use now, if anything?
Thanks,
Bill
