Yep, I am a former victim, err uhh, graduate. I also try and give back to the program, as an instructor.
It was a big help that I connected with a longtime club racer who guided me when I had...
I read a good commentary about Drifting on SpeedTV's website. had a theme and flavor of "Here we are now, entertain us."
Not all of us like the same things, that is what makes us "us."
Here is...
My excuse is I live 6000 miles away and I have become a closet drift racer. I should be back home for good next spring. Maybe I can make the CalClub summer comp school and get into racing again.

The other day at the local park, I had a conversation with a man (prob late 40's) about motorsports. Our conversation a one point he was telling me about F1 drivers of the 50's were sometimes...
Hey D,
I am scheduled to come home around Summer 2005.
I have been very busy with work, but I do find sometime to enjoy life.
I would like to wish IT.com and all of the great people who visit. Some of you may remember that I was a w2w club racer. Just recently I moved to Japan for work.
I wish everyone the best in...
Being far from home, club racing and my welder, I usually follow the dailys for CART and F1 to fill my need for speed.
In short form, CART's merger looks to be down and out. (www.cart.com for...

Hey Ian, Greg here from the autoX days. From my road racing, I found that constant adjustments were needed on my 94 DX rear drums.

This may not be any help, but SF Region has an ITE class. I have seen at least 3 Camaros decked out with rear diffusers and all sorts of aero work.

I built my 94 DX CHB into an ITA car. I raced about 8 races and then put racing on hold.
If you would like to email me, with questions please feel free to.

I read about D. Hayashi's experience at www.pulpracing.com Chapter 28, near the bottom of his stories. I am not sure if it is the same race. Good reading from a club racer and nice guy.

Well, things are OK. We are surviving and doing well in some respects. I anticipated some difficulties and the first few days are living up to my expectations. The flight was Ok. The kids behaved as...
Welcome to the region. The IT group is run group 5. The feed on feed off thing is for practice sessions. They might black flag the whole field just to get everyone off as fast as they can. They...
I passed on the Reg/Nat last year. Group 5/IT, gets shuffled around the 3 day weekend. Come to think of it, that might work out time wise for your family events.

I cannot compare lap times just like you mentioned, I ran CCW with the by pass. and I ran CW with the eagle's nest.
For me an my low powered car, I think CW (reverse) is better between 7-2. I...
Not a darn thing to use as reference at turn 5. Turn 8 is now a downhill dog-leg right hand turn.

Good luck in the enduros. BTW, do you know what the entri fees are for the 12 hour and the 25 hour? I am just curious.
I have an SCCA comp license and I was able to get my N.A.S.A. license. I read the N.A.S.A. CCR and could not find a section that outright stated that any SCCA member could show up and race with...
I guess the answer is in a question, where do you want the power gain? Very genereally speaking the DC 4-2-1, which I also have, delivers gains in the mid-range. The 4-1 delivers gains more on the...
