I raced F440 back in the 80's and 90's (now F500), and it was a great experience until the SCCA got involved in an engine program and rules creep ruined the class. We had 15 car fields at regionals,...

Since this has become something of a catch-all bashing of SCCA management, I wonder how many others of you could care less about Speed World Challenge, Trans Am, Pro Racing, or any of the other...

Last I heard, the Runoffs races get broadcast on SPEED sometime after Christmas at around 2:00 in the morning,; if this is the best marketing tool SCCA has to present itself to the outside world....

This has gotten a little off the point, I'll belabor it no more after this:

My comment about SM driving manners is based on the fact that my co-driver and I have both been nearly hit, and squarely...

Jake poses an interesting question, and I guess the answer is that the necessity of adding cars to save dying classes is the only reason I would suggest running IT cars "as-is" in Production, plus...

I've read about a thousand posts on this issue, and I cannot for the life of me understand any reason other than some form of misplaced elitism why anyone would oppose IT cars "As-is" being classed...

This might be old news, but I just visited the Road Atlanta website and found a new (to me) regulation affecting pit vehicles. All scooters, ATV's, pit bikes, Razors, etc. under 125 cc are...

Any idea why a Regional was scheduled in February when there was a June date available? Looks like our already meager track time will probably be even more limited, although I'm sure the entry fees...

$3500 would certainly be the low end, and might not get you a car that would ever be able to run near the front, even with development. If you go this route, bear in mind that the first couple of...

Regarding NASA in general, I had given thought to using one of their events at Road Atlanta to
shake down a rebuilt car, but was shocked at the entry fees. Last time I checked, they were a
much...

As both a racer and a graphic designer, the biggest problem I have with most car graphics
is that they are just too darn "busy". NASCAR is a perfect example of massive graphic overkill, with the...

I also agree that The Club has no business building and selling race cars;
my initial reaction to the FSCCA cars was "Why is SCCA essentially duplicating
cars already in existence?" One only need...

Since the cancellation of the Atlanta Region Labor day races last September (which came as a huge surprise to me, never having experienced this since I started racing in the mid-eighties), I don't...

Another wheel you might consider is Revolution. We have raced these classic 4-spoke wheels on a Midget for several years, and found them cheaper (and lighter) than Panasports. Now I'm afraid of the...

I dislike today's litigious atmosphere as much as anyone, and used the word "sue" in a figurative, not literal way. I agree that nobody forces anyone to race, and that. yes, it can be terminally...

Thanks fot the further input on cells in general. I'm curious as to what the group's take is on my argument concerning the lack of required cells in IT versus the ballistic bladder required in...

Greg,

Sounds like you have a very well-thought out program--hope you are successful; I will not be leaving ITC as you did as a front-runner, more as a moving chicane.

Your last post sort of...

Greg,

I've got a current GCR, but there seem to be some unclear areas in that never-never land between IT and Prod. The cell issue is one of those; my bladder is a polyethylene shell filled with...

Thanks for such detailed and helpful replies!

Greg, it seems to me that it would be a real challenge to get a forward brace thru the firewall to the shock tower; is that what you did? If not, can...

Has anyone converted an IT car to Limited Prep Production? I am confused as to exactly what is required in the way of forward braces for the cage; we are running an ex-ITD Midget in ITC, and see some...

One of Raymond's comments goes right to the heart of the matter, in that a situation on the track might cause a driver to have to "give up his race, or position". I believe that in any situation...

First of all, I'm gratified by the responses to my initial post--I was beginning to think I was alone!

I was extremely disappointed by the Stewards' failure to take any real action in this case,...

This post is prompted by an incident at the ARRC, but has been of growing concern to me for a good while now. I drive an ex-ITD MG Midget in ITC, simply because that's the only place for us now...
