Thanks. I am glad I posted here then. Did it tell you why it got bounced back (so I can complain to the service provider)?
I will use an alternate email address and try sending my questions...
I was interested in advertising on the IT forums (banner ad), however, I have not heard anything back after submitting an inquiry 3 different times from...

I haven't seen it advertised anywhere either, but I would assume it is still valid. I have done it in years past with a form with the past years date. They so far have honored all requests and even...
Good to hear. Do they have new forms available or do we just use the 2009 forms?
I am disturbed by this as well. I thought that the member input was that this should be recommended and not required. It does not give me a good impression of SCCA if they ask for member input and...
I have a Gear-X final drive from Special Project Motorsports in my YS1 and have had no troubles. Kiwi is a good guy and helped me quite a bit when I was looking for gears.
Wow, $50? Lucky you. When my windshield cracked and I priced out Lexan it came up about the same price as glass (~$150). Are you sure the Lexan was the required thickness per the rules? Did you...
Stupid. I qualified in that spot, I want to start in that spot.
I was wondering. I was talking with Doc about wheels for the CRX at the last Autobahn race when you guys were looking at Kovar's car.
Look forward to seeing you guys out next year.
I was too. I know a guy (preps 2 CRX's) who swears they aren't worth anything (well, not enough grip to overcome extra rotating mass and rolling resistance) and still runs 205's.
My suggestion...
It sounds like I'm in the minority, but here is what I like:
- I like the first session of a weekend to be practice (work out cobwebs, learn tracks, learn competitors, etc.)
- I like at least 1...
So either run the 225/50R14 V710's or pick a different final gear and run the 225/50R15's. I actually run both of these sizes to purposely change my effective final gear.
Not that much. I'd...
I have fit 225/50 V710's and RA1's on 6" wide wheels on my A car before. It works fine with no issues. I thought I had more grip stuffing the 225 on a 6" than I had when running a 205 on the same...
I read the entry for the RA race I attended earlier this year again. The cancellation date was the Wed before the event. Any cancellation after that would be charged $25 (refund amount would be $25...
I have only been to a sum total of 2 SCCA races ever, but I didn't even realize this. I checked the old entry for the race I entered this year, and sure enough they would charge you a late fee if...
This is my experience. I am faster on Hoosiers and Kumhos than on RA1's. I have never run Hankooks personally, but a Civic that competes with me runs them and he is as quick as me on Kumhos.
I...
Looks like people have you covered. You can either choose to get the DX classed or swap to the EX (all required parts must be swapped so it looks like an EX). Unfortunately I have not encountered...
There are plenty of aluminum enclosed cells that are FIA approved.
As far as legality of non-FIA cells, I am not so much bothered by the actual interpretation. I don't really care either way. ...
I have used factory, Fel-Pro, and Cometic without any issues on IT motors. The current motor is using a Fel-Pro.
I believe the DC Integra can run in ITA, ITS, and ITR (although the ITR car is the Type R which does have some "additional" chassis structure so would not be as pure an example as above).
I have used 32 front / 34 psi rear with mixed success in wet conditions (normally run 28 / 30 in the dry).
I am going with totally legal. Check GCR 9.1.3.9.e (covers the seat brackets) and 9.1.3.9.f (covers center console brackets).
Careful what you wish for. I don't like my car weighing 2595 lbs when stock weight was 2549 lbs either (I actually have 160 lbs of ballast). However, I'd like it less if it got pushed to ITS and...
