No to going National...I'm old school, and think that the purity of IT would be quickly lost.
I drive in ITC part time
Jeff,
Congrats on your 1st win, I remember I almost jumped out of my car because I was so pumped!
That being said, you are going to have a blast in GT Lite. It's a whole different animal than...
Tim, :026:
You mean to tell me that all those years ago we were fighting it out, that you never won a race? We had a few side by side finishes I remember!
Well, congrats on your 1st win....
Krys was absolutely correct....love him or hate him, he always did what he thought was fair and correct for the SCCA. The very 1st protest I ever filed was against him, and he was the one to tell me...
Yup, I'm with Mark Coffin, I wish I had known about crank scrapers back in my ITC days as well. They are worth every penny, and Kevin does excellent, quality work. I also have to agree that if anyone...
Just another idea to toss out here Gregg,
What is the "life expectancy" of the Issac if it is used, but never "tested"for lack of a better term? Based on that figure, you might consider...
I used to run a 4:38 gear in my ITC car, and never came close to running out of gear, but still had plenty of grunt through and out of the infield there (you'll need it to get out on the banking!)....
Just to chime in here..
For anyone who has never driven the "roval" at Rockingham, it is unlike any roval you've ever driven. It is a huge handling track, and because the oval section is not as...
Dick,
Kudos to you! You said a mouthfull when you said " the culture of SCCA" . Many people don't have a clue as to the many aspects of what it takes to allow us to go racing. Without question, I...
Scott,
I'm interested to know why you'd even think you'd get flamed for suggesting working corners before going racing? There is no better way of learning A LOT of "do's and don'ts" than watching...
Question: How much money does it take to get started in road racing?
Answer: How much money do you have? Take that and double it.
Good Part: It's the most fun you can have with your clothes...
Adam,
Enduros are by far the best bang for the buck! You'll enjoy them because a lot of times the fastest car doesn't win.
In SEDIV ECRS, you are required to have a 5 lb (min) fire extinguisher,...
Remember that if you are going to a Lexan windshield (Nascar takeoffs are the way to go), you also need 3 straps (bars?) on the inside as well. Use Tims rear straps as an example, put them on the...
Tom,
To add my 2 cents, we split fuel line (rubber) tubing, put that over the end of the clips (glue into place) and bend the clips so the rubber is touching the windshield. We just used a vice...
Tim,
Rock on!!! Good to see the you back @ the pointy end!

Mark
Two quick things..
Though I agree w/ David, sand can be slippery on the same slope...
And....the unexpected consequences can far outweigh the intended ones, so, as others have said, please be...
Since we're throwing ideas out..
Local college newspapers..catchy one page ad (cheap) or put a flyer in with their paper/newsletter
Local car shows are great, especially benefit ones.
Put...
Good for you,
Welcome aboard,
and Good Luck with your effort! :026:

Keith,
You traitor! Get back in your 210 so we can share some development information :P !
Either that or give me all your trick 210 stuff, so we can catch the VW's, Suzukis, and Hondas! :lol: ...
Not to stir the pot...
Most of the people I've talked to are not "afraid" of IT going National, it's a rational conclusion (for those of us on this side of the fence) that it's not necessary to...
I'm with you Joe, well put.
That is one of the points I have been trying to make. The majority of us common racers really don't have a clue as to the financial aspect of how our club is being run. A...
The question isn't whether Solo generates a profit,and quite frankly I'd support Solo even at a loss, as many racers (myself included) come from the Solo ranks. The question still remains...is Club...
One other thing to consider..
Have a dollar amount figured in just in case the worst happens. If the renter totals the car, he pays you X dollars, and you get to keep what's left of the car. God...
Josh,
What you are asking is part of the discussion. That is why we need the true costs for each division. Solo looks good with the numbers you provided, but as we've been trying to determine, if...
