I vote for the $39-49 HF winch also. I've used one for several years and it works fine (with a well-charged battery). I've pulled a 2600 lb (empty) Nissan into my trailer with no problems. The...

Thanks for the info guys. What you all describe sounds like a pretty good fix what you describe as gas-brake-gas-brake.

By the way, Butch, I never thought I'd hear you say something negative...

In one of the topics there are a couple allusions to revisions to the layout at CMP. I'd heard rumors to that effect earlier this year, but hadn't heard anything more recently. There isn't any...

Looking over the 2008 SEDIV schedule, I noticed that the number of ECRs is down substantially from this year - only six races on four weekends, compared to 10 in 9 this year. I also noticed that...

Maybe I shouldn't raise this question after all the fun discussion so far, but.... For most cars, how much extra horsepower do you REALLY get from a full-blown MOTEC system versus your basic,...

You should indeed be able to get a halon refill at a fire extinguisher service co. locally. I've had three or four done at one in Decatur. I think they're listed under DeKalb Fire...

At least I got to watch you out the windshield this time, instead of watching you rocket by my rear window at 90 mph. like last time at Kershaw!

I've had the problem you describe happen a few times on my IT7, also. I think it's just cumulative heat-related abuse of the seals. It really is more of a cosmetic issue, at least...

The rod I'm talking about is the little one that comes out of front of the booster and which actuates the MC. It is a threaded piece with knurled base for grabbing. The problem with...

I don't think you can make a real case that the spec tire rule is "killing" the IT7 class. The number of different competitors has gone down a bit since 2005, but the total number of entries per...

There is absolutely no place where a 3.90 is better than a 4.88 or 5.12. Unless you are running over your redline in top gear, shorter is always better, and rx7s don't have enough power to max out...

One other thing you have to watch out for when swapping brake parts between early and late cars is the length of the piston rod in the brake booster. I did a swap of MCs from coarse to fine thread...

Thank You, Ginny Condrey! Your notice saved me writing another e-mail, to the stewards.

It's good to see the VIR SARRC/MARRS stewards are thinking ahead on our problem and won't make a hasty,...

If you need a set of the spec tires for your IT7, you need to order them right now. Toyo is way behind in shipping many of the popular RA1s to dealers including the 205/60-13, so many DO NOT have...

I left one of my cars outside under a tarp for a year. When I got around to resurrecting it, one item to replace was the brake ducting. When I took out the old ducts, about a pound of acorn shells...

I have checked with Sandy on this issue already. The Appalachian money is contingent on running Hoosiers and Toyos are the spec tire for SM. Therefore, you can run Hoosiers (and get disqualified)...

The first paragraph in 8.b. (under Body/Structure) which allows an airdam, contains the sentence, "Openings are permitted for the purposes of ducting air to the brakes, cooler, and...

In thinking about this rule, you have to remember that the rule we're discussing is under the "Body" section,of the rules, and relates to under what circumstances you can cut a hole in...

On the original question. No, you can't use the parking lite holes for brake ducting.

On the wording that ddewhurst discusses, there is a logical explanation for why the rule is written as it is,...

A new entry in the "short track" sweepstakes is the road course at the Nashville Superspeedway, which had its first SCCA event last lLabor Day. It uses the front and back straights, the accel lanes...

I've had a couple refilled by a one of the local fire equipment companies on North Decatur Road (near DeKalb Industrial Way) in Decatur. I think the name is DeKalb Fire Equipment, but it may have...

Theoretically, the safest way to route it is filter, then cooler. This should protect the cooler from the junk that the blown engine generates. However, that is no guarantee that you'll save the...

Yes to the spec tire.

Sam Henderson and John Henderson are the same guy. Most everyone knows him as Sam. He told me he always went by Sam in his short track days and when he used to run this great, honkin' GT1 Camaro. ...

In some cases, it is possible to reuse a cage without even using sleeves. I have a cage in one of my current cars (an ITS Nissan 200SX V6) that is in its third tub and it is indistiinguishable from...
