Stephen, the "4 wheels off " clause of 6.8.3 only applies to temporary and airport circuits that are marked. So the "off course excursion" portion of 6.8.3 is open to interpretation by drivers and...

hoop,
it all depends are where either the Chief Steward is located at that moment, or what the starter and/or start judge see. The start judge should be on the starter's stand as well.
I was...
Looks like some folks might want to re-read GCR 6.8.3. As an SIT, if I had seen this from the tower (which is admittedly difficult because of the pit wall hindering line of sight in this case), I...
Joe,
Here's one of the valve spring compressors I have:

It consists of two towers that mount to the head, the crossbar and the handle...
Now that's funny!!! :023:
See ya at the track (hopefully not as a Steward...ha, ha)

This thread raises a lot of interesting points, many of which need no elaboration. That being said there is a lot to be gained by "giving back" to the club. I've worked the odd corner over the...
There's not 100% agreement that it's better. If you think about it, the rear beam flex is actually in the HELPING direction (toe OUT on the outside laden wheel) which helps the car to rotate.

Hi Jeff,
Please let me know if I can help at all with getting a split start. I am friends with some of the NCR "management" and have a good relationship with most stewards, so with whatever...
I can understand wanting to make the prod guys the boogeyman on this one, but if the IT guys take an honest look at the schedule the race groupings really are a function of trying to get 4 separate...
Mark,
Us old timer VW guys have seen this before. :mad1: Usually the fix is to do BOTH master cylinder circuits at the same time. This will give a full piston travel in both circuits and get...
Hi Chris,
No, we won't be at the Sprints this year, but look for us in '08. After 12 years of racing, 3 championships in the last six years (2001 SARRC ITC, 2004 & 2006 SEDIV GP), 3 top 10...
My pleasure, Kirk. I'm going to take this year off to re-charge the battery/bank account etc., but I'll be back in '08 loaded for bear and ready to collect some of that VW $$$. :OLA:
Let's get...
Now this comes out.
Last year would have been worth at least $2,400 to me. :mad1:

Old Guy,
You are right on so many counts. I wonder if as a whole, the SM community is glad that the class went national. Has that change affected SM racing at the regional level as you...
I use Mobil 1 synthetic gear oil in my gearbox w/ Quaife. Friction modifiers are unnecessary since the Quaife doesn't use clutch plates. I've had my gearbox together for 5 seasons and every year...
Travis,
Your points are all valid. I just want to make it clear that I didn't post this to be a troll or to start any sort of flame war. I posted it because I think the national club racing...
Here's something I posted to the prod website regarding the "best 24 classes participate in the Runoffs" discussion. Please keep in mind that the idea of the post is to get everyone thinking about...
If you make a template, Kevin will make you a custom scraper in just a couple of days. Making a template isn't too complicated, just some sturdy cardboard or other heavy material is required. Then...
Well, I tell all my competitors that crank scrapers will add absolutely nothing to their WHP. ;)
Seriously, when I added a custom crank scraper fitted specifically to my crank/rod setup (I made...
Try some 1/8" thick x 1" wide aluminum strip from Lowe's. Make a "flat" Z out of the clip, so that the part of the clip that is above the windshield is parallel to it. It's easy to glue a strip of...
Here's the trophy we give to the Prod Festival podium finishers:

It's a replica of the track (VIR).

I do have one (a Tekonsha Prodigy) and it's the only way to go, IMHO. I've had others and they worked OK, but the Prodigy is worth the money. It even told me I had a short in one of the brake...
I have had enough of this board and certain disagreeable people.
Good luck to all.
