Two friends tow enclosed trailers with Tundras, one a 20', the other a 24'. Both are pleased...but I would still encourage you to ensure excellent brakes on both truck and trailer, and keep an eye...

Does anyone know if Sunoco 100 octane (GT100) is sold at the track? thanks
Thanks Terry, please let us know what you find out. I believe we have to go thru NJ inspection before we can go on track for Friday. At least at the first Lightning, several SCCA people were involved...
Bill E. - will tech be open Thursday evening to check cars for Friday's test day?
Note to all, the DLB Racing web site is down - it's located in Texas. Sure hope everyone is OK there! Give us all...
Two words - Pressure Pro. This has saved my backside several times (towing 4 hours is considered short distance). I HIGHLY recommend it. On the way to Lime Rock a few weeks ago, I suddenly got an...
One disadvantage of the 10K+ trailers is you could potentially get pulled over quicker if you pass up weigh stations (search for several threads in many different car forums about people being pulled...
I would rather see Legends and SPU with DP, production, GTL (and GTP if it's a MARRS event) than SM/SSM.....much more compatible.
How many races do you anticipate having at the two tracks in 2009 (how many Regional, how many National, which tracks)? I like the idea of at least one MARRS event at one of the two tracks. I also...
Brief note about that....the permanent starter stand wasn't up yet, so no roof or shade (did anyone mention it was sunny and HOT? :)) I happened to be on pit lane and noticed them putting up the...
Sorry I can't remember who finished where in DP (don't have the results with me), but Jeff Harding won. Congratulatins! Glad you guys were running two races, group 1 certainly was better because of...
I had an Activator, and before that some similar (cheap) brake controller. After driving someone else's setup with the Prodigy, the Activator got replaced. Yes, they are that much better!
The original intent of the glossary (over 10 years ago) was to define technical words not commonly found in a dictionary. Since it was originally submitted as a draft, there have been surprisingly...
I can't speak to the Focus itself, but the 2.0L Zetec, with custom headers, balanced, valve job, but all else stock including the ECU will produce 129 horsepower on a Dyno Jet chassis dyno. Quite...
Don't ya just hate it when the answer is it depends? :D I'll use a formula car at Pocono for one extreme - narrower tires are most likely faster because there will be less mass in the air stream....
New paving? Yes - but unfortunately no time to let it cure. I expect there will be lots of bump, uneven pavement as a result. Sure hope I'm wrong.
I have a 2005 Chevy Dually, my significant other has a 2003, both have the 8.1 gas motor and Allison transmission. Although 2 years apart, they are virtually identical . Both of us have 20' trailers...
As always YMMV...almost all tracks I go to require a trip thru the PA mountains, and this certainly adds issues.
A note on enclosed trailer weights. A 20' enclosed Pace trailer is at least 3500#...
I do find it interesting that people think the new ECU rule will cost people more money. Those who are going to spend money to go fast have likely already gone out and spend considerable funds on a...
It would be worth a look at the Wester's tune. I'd recommend talking to Brian at http://www.exatorq.com/. There is a 30 day money back guarantee, and he's very easy to work with.
Add another vote for DL1 and TrackVision. I bought the DL1 from Al Seim, and can tell you he's been exceptionally patient and helpful. TrackVision rocks, and support is fantastic.
The MOST important factor is fit - on your head and in the car. Many years ago a poor fitting helmet was the primary cause of a dislocated jaw. The helmet fit tightly at my forehead, but not around...
Now that I've stopped laughing long enough to find my keyboard, I'd like to fill you all in on the true story of how the glossary came about. I'm NOT picking on David, but this statement made me...
I had a custom suit made by SafeQuip (Tim Lee) some years ago, and it has held up amazingly well. My other half has gone thru 2 suits in that time, and my suit is still fine, although dated looking....
If using standard "aeroquip" type fittings, no washers, gaskets, or other things needed. Tightness is a bit difficult to quantify, but I'd call it rather snug, definately not gorilla tight. If you...
SCCA must run different classes together, so maybe part of the issue is how do we get everyone to co-exist in a safe and sane way? I've raced Prod and GT cars for over 20 years, and I've seen some...
