Hi folks,

I am the IT7 drivers rep for the Washington DC region for 2010. I am reaching out and see if there is interest in picking one of the MARRS race weekends this year to get a bunch of...

Congrats on the license and the car! I had the pleasure of running with your dad out at Nelson Ledges last year...well I was in the same run group, can't really say I was running with him :)

[quote=tom_sprecher;289917]It is possible, but highly improbable unless I can find a good diet and lose 60#. ;)


My 1984 is now down within 45 pounds of weight. I have a .120" wall cage (If I...

James- thanks for the response. Your point is much more clear to me now. I think Jim has spoken well for the IT7 class so I won't go down that road. We certainly don't have to agree on everything...

Wow- there is a lot of bitterness flying around considering this is what we do for fun. We have not turned a single lap with the new MARRS groups yet. It sounds like it is a done deal so lets give...

Lots of shops do the rebuild. Kearney Racing did mine. A friend is running an ISC box and another is running an SDJ box (that tells you how long it has lasted.....). Lots of the parts are still...

Tom, J- thanks for the advice an info.

I am a firm believer in the less parts there are, the less parts that can fail- That and the fact that I am already 108 lbs over weight (we did a pretty...

Three years ago they recommended using the third gen valve assembly now (90 psi where the old 12A racing one was 110 psi) and shimming the front pop-off 1/8" or so. The third gen valve is actually...

So to ask the original question one level deeper...I have heard from several people MSD boxes are worth some power. Anyone know how much power? (I have two used 6A's in the garage and I am trying...

Tom- maybe the people that feel like you do should go to SPU or just do track days. There are few rules to stand in your way of your "having fun" there, and those of us that respect the rules and...

Wow, I am disturbed at what was interpreted as legal here. It took me a while to realize people were serious......this seems so far out of the intent and wording of the shifter knob rule I have no...

For my rebuild I had new stationary gears and bearings, new housings and seals, but the old rotor bearings. The shop (Kearney Racing) had me do the fast idle break-in for several hours ( I think...

Okay- here is my $.02. What I was told by several people as I was building my car is also what makes sense to me:

The upper and lower links are locating arms, not traction bars.

The popular...

Gordon,

I went through this when first building my car (also an 84). I did have to tie a couple of the power wires in to the same feed. Additionally the 84 fuel pump will not run through the...

Tom- I welded a bar to a socket (19mm I think), and dropped a 6mm hex wrench down through the socket into the shock. Voila......it's down to righty-tighty at that point

Well it is obvious the answer is set it where it works for you......I just moved mine from nuetral to about 1/32 toe out. I'd describe it as squirmy under braking, but the turn in is much improved. ...

I'm only 5'11" but have a short inseam (30") and tall torso (more ape shaped than human.....) I have settled for a fairly leaned back position and remounted the seat all the way in against the...

I have the catch can connected with 1/4" or so hose to a washer bottle on the shock tower above the header (I hope I never spray oil out of the top....). Anyway I never have oil in the can. I am...

I've been curious about this mod...anyone know the HP gain?

Since IT7 is a region specific class and not part of the GCR remember to check your regions rules. As previously mentioned the SEdiv has the spec tire rule, I don't know what other region specific...

Tom, remember the Roebling school......I would have hated that without my defroster. I agree that it is worth a lot of effort (and a few pounds) to keep it. I also use mine on hot days on the grid...

So did you get what you were looking for in the end? I have not seen an IT seat mounted to the cage, but I have seen it in GT and SPO cars. My cage and seat mount were done by a very experienced...

Hey Neil,

I can bring a couple 6A boxes from Eva's car down this weekend for you to try if you think it's a bad box. Are you running the early distributor or later? If it's the early style I can...

Tom,

I do have the two bars running forward. The footwell in our 1st gens is pretty cramped down there so I've lost the room for a dead pedal. It's totally irrelevant for the sprint races, we'll...

Hey Tom,

A few things I have seen (though don't like much myself) are putting the pump(s) and filter(s) in the bulkhead at the fuel cell fill, and also I have seen the filter mounted in the...
