It's important to note that the Viper seat (and it's closely related versions, like wide and the FIA version) are the ONLY Racetech seats built like they are. Their other seats are comparable to the...
I need to look a bit more. Was this proposed change in the December FasTrack adopted?
The existing glossary definitions related to bodywork do not apply well in all car categories. The proposed...
They should never had said openings are allowed.
Follow this logic:
If it doesn't say you can, you can't.
You CAN add an airdam, but it CAN'T go past x,y,z dimensions, and it CAN'T cover...
I'm confused on this ruling.
I've always read the airdam rule as allowing me to add as much or as little airdam as i want as long as I stayed inside the x,y,z, dimensions allowed.
If my car...
Neat results with LapSim. I haven't used it. Does it assume some nominal wheel rate or something such that the "setup" changes the weight distribution? What does it use for grip/tires? More weight is...
Ahhh, a real seat spec. The 1999 spec was a joke. Much less loading than production seats are tested to.
Any links to the Sparco and RaceTech certifications? I suspect the Viper seat is the one...
I too am surprised by the weight difference of the '89-'93 and '94-'95 Mustang classification. Track width on the later cars is about 2" wider. (Fenders are wider too - the 2" holds true in IT trim)....
If Mustang wheels don't work out....
Redrilling a 4 lug wheel to 5 lug usually requires some welding/filling, especially when the bolt circle is the same. I would think you'd be better off...
You can change pulleys, right? Is an allowed pulley performing an illegal function if it happens to have teeth on it? The substituted sensor is arguably legal - save for being in a different...
OK, I'll throw a little gas on this fire (pun intended!).
We have to have our fire systems certified/checked/whataver every two years?
If you have an FIA rated cell (as called for in the GCR...
The Honda EU2000 is the benchmark for smallish, quiet, generators. 2000 watts won't power a house, or even a roof AC on a motorhome/trailer, but it's quiet, darn quiet.
They can be bought...
But you're back to square one when the new GCR comes out. The US Supreme Court analogy would only apply if they rewrote the Constitution every year.
Page III of the GCR:
"Effective January 1st,...
Re. NASA and HANS.
How come HPDE entrants don't have to use one? Same car (sometimes), same track, same day, same insurance policy, but no H&N required?
But PLEASE tell me they have learned how to measure and calculate compression ratio!
They couldn't do it ten years ago. Measured my head volume and said I was OK! Never looked at the block or...
Three points:
Don't forget tires are springs too. Spring rate is in the neighborhood of 1200 pounds/inch. The higher the spring rate (and/or wheel rate depending how you want to look at it) the...
You'll want to check the latest rukes for prod fuel tanks. I think they dropped the plastic part. Any tank between the axles is OK.
A rather ugly incident at Putnam a week or two ago.

(Jumps right in the middle of a thread, but the...
Don't need to do 1st gear. Top couple will give you enough info. Worst case, pull the sparkplugs.
I've done it at Waterford. Simply roll the car in gear a certain number of engine revolutions (1 or 2). Do it for two or three gears. The ratio of the distances traveled matches the ratio between...
So what would work better at Daytona on a Grand Am Cup Mustang: 4 hood pins (all at the front), or the stock latch?
Not 100% sure as I never tried it with the stock latch, but I do know 160 MPH...
How big is your cell? A 15 gallon cell will weigh nearly twice what an 8 gallon cell does. But lets guess a 15 gallon for a minute. 15 gallons of fuel is around 100 pounds. Mount it as you would...
A home for ex-World Challenge cars? Yeah right.
Just like limited prep production being a simple place to go with an IT car. Sure it can be done, and it's legal, but the way to run at the front is...
And just for the record, the escort ZX2 as seen way above is classed as an SSC car, and as an ITA car.
Gregg Baker, of Isaac LLC, will be coming to the Waterford Hills meeting, this Wednesday, December 6th and doing a quick presentation. Being such short notice, I thought I'd post here to catch some...
