Anyone have any pics on how they added jack points within the rules? I always wanted to just drill a 2" hole in the floor and stick a tube down out the bottom just a hair for the jack to hit. I...

Give me an email mwosborne (at) isp . com and maybe I can help. I have a Euro E24 635 race car that I built and I can let you know what works for the most part depending on what you want to do. I...
Suprised to see the BMW 635 on the list. I can not see it competitive in IT trim with the other cars on the list. I have a euro spec model and can't get it to the 3027 weight of the BMWCCA CR JP...
I have yet to post on IT.com but it is posted at bmwccaclubracing.com. Look way down the page. The price has gone way down.

No one else has mentioned it so I guess I have to give my testament to the Hensly Arrow hitch. I tow with a half ton dodge and tow a 24' enclosed with 4'V and 2' extended tong. That is 30' tip to...
I have a 635 race car which is basically the 2 door 535 ('85 - '90 or so). I have raced it in BMWCR and it would fit nice in NASA. It definitally is a fun car to learn in. I now race a E30 325 and...
I have been trying to read about this SIR stuff and I keep seeing mention of the E30 and a 200# loss. I know the 325e lost 200# but did the ITS E30 352i loose some as well?
Thanks,
Michael...
I am a little suprized at all the sugestions for the run of the mill generators. I work in construction as well and the regular generators are very LOUD. I purchased a Honda EU2000i because I...
Bigger is beater. I had a '79 olds 98 Regency. Crashed a month after my license with 3 other guys in the car. Not paying enough attention and ran out of talent. No one hurt, No seatbelts. My...
I just had custom ear plugs made for my radio ssytem. I was going to install the small speaker from my foam ear plugs in to the custom molded ear plugs. I would like to keep the foam ones as backup...
I have had very good, repeatable results with toe plates. I made my own. It will not tell you relitive front to rear but great for setting front or rear. Strings for a true 4 wheel alignment.
How about some good old safety glasses? UV protected, Poly Carb lens, light weight, desposable. They come in many different styles. Go to your welding supply house or safety store.

I use the ziplok with ice and made some t-shirts with a big pocket in the center to hold the bag. Worked great (almost too great). I felt much more refreshed after long stints in the car.

I have never heard of P1 in BMWCCA club racing. Stock, Prepared, Mod. K Stock, K Prepared, D Mod. No P1 at any of the races I have attended.

It looks like the guy that did Kershaw did it. I was at CMP this past weekend. I stopped doing drivers schools there some time ago and now I remember why. The first half is great and I don't mind...
You take one end of the strap and fish it through the eye of the other end. This makes a loop that gets tighter (chokes) as it is pulled. Make sure you wrap it around the item to be choked before...
I think the strap goes around the bumper shock in a choking type manor. There is no screwing to the factory point. Bimmerworld has these for $20 I think.

Bryan,
I live in Ashland, KY and would love to get to know fellow racers in the area. I race a E30 BMW ITS car mostly in BWMCCA racing but plan to try a few IT races this season. I also have a...
Try this one. It was posted on the BMWCR list.

Daryl,
The screw pulling out of the steel is a due to using the wrong screw for the application. No disrespect to your screws, but if they were true "sheet metal" screws they are not designed to...
There are very high grade and strong structural screws that are self drilling and tapping that are used all the time in the construction industry. I used Tek 5's (or something similar) and screwed...
Do these 10/10th RX7's have Motec? Could not other cars be helped by it? I only hear it being used with the BMW's. What about using it with the others?
Michael
Thanks for the input. The car has it's annual tech and log book. I recieved my license through my experience in BMWCCA club racing. I have lots of Mid-O experience and know my way around the track...
I am planning on attending my first IT race at Mid-Ohio in September. I have done lots of BMWCCA races but I think they are a little more layed back then SCCA.
I was wondering how does the day...
Thanks,
Now do 2 double's count as the four? Maybe see some of you at Mid-Ohio for the doubles.
