FWIW - the 'Rollla is a totally different animal. While I've argued that MR2's can be had for pocket change and built to race IT easily - the AE86 is a rare and sought after beast due to the...

Anyone wanna buy an ITB MR2?

Will the inevitable karting that we'll do after tech be a points race?

Um...

If we are all going to race the same tires, why don't we all just run shaved Toyo RA-1's. That way everybody saves money. (about $200 less a set, and one set will can last a season!)

I seriously do have a question. For the zillions of cars that come with a donut standard but usually have full-sized spare tires (either a factory or dealer option), can we put in a full sized...

Umm, I would think that 9.1.3.D.7.a should apply. I don't agree with the lead weight/concrete etc. tortured interpretation. But I think it would be reasonable to replace it with a normal...

So can I run in IT7?

Not interested in bringing my knife to a gunfight if all the other knives have left!

LOL - no thread is long enough if you want to start on politics with me. :mad1:

LOL! If we ever meet, I'm buying the beer! (and I actually am semantic!) http://www.xs4all.nl/~ernstmul/images/jewish/jsmile001.gif
No hard feelings dude. Hard to get tone in an email (sometimes...

It's OK - I've been called an ass before, I have pretty thick skin. But I really didn't want to turn this into a "CR are communist idiots who get hard over Camrys" thread. I'm representing my...

If you are just using it for towing – sure. But it’s not JUST about economics if you don’t need one and want to use it for a daily driver.

Along with the convenience issues (terrible ride,...

Dick's right. The current crop of Diesels are huge, heavy, and adopted from commercial vehicles - that's why they can't be used in the smaller trucks.

That article is old. The 3.6L is too small...

Good question - yes the brakes are huge. But I think that's more about resisting fade when you load the bed to GVWR. The distances are most likely due to the tires. The big HD trucks need tires...

Sorry, the link doesn't get you any data unless you are a subscriber (only free videos and an overview). For risk of getting a talking to from my boss, here's some data on the Dodge Rams...

Jeff, I'm sorry - you're truck is the best! And certainly a great choice for everyone. Oh, and Jeff - there's no reason to read any more of this post, it's not for you.

We did a test this year...

LOL - I love it. Diesel HD trucks to pull a little car on an open trailer. :blink:

For the record, I test these things and the very BEST ones out there ride like crap, have stopping distances...

Most people on this forum will most likely suggest something that is far overkill.

Dick is right on target. Get yourself an aluminum trailer and you'll be able to have a MUCH better daily driver....

I appreciate the bumps, but a little off topic guys.

Back on topic:

Where the poll sits:

34 people on this board support a move to B at the process weight.
0 support leaving it in A

I would think that's the way to go. I have a Kirkey Intermediate (with most of the the rib protectors cut off), but I'm a fairly big guy in a little car. If you've got a little room to work with...

Looks great!!!! Well done!

I'm out of town for the Thursday event - but I'm very interested in getting involved. Living 30 minutes from the track certainly helps! I'd definately be interested in going in halvsies or...

Next week open practice....

So here's where we stand....

34 in favor of moving the car to ITB
0 in favor of keeping it in ITA

Wow... this really is a controversial one! :P

The loud cars were part of the reason the dragstrip's not there anymore.

3 miles?! Come on down one day and I'll give you a royal tour!

Just wanted to share...
