Though he doesn't know it, Paul Newman is responsible for me becoming a scca club racer. In 2002 I went to Road Atlanta to work a corner. I was working turn 6 when my instructor pointed to a car...
Cris,
The primary reason for going to a limited slip or locked rear end is that the inside rear tire is slipping during acceleration coming out of a corner. Body roll transfer weight to the...
It was indeed a fantastic weekend for racing. The ProIt fielded forty five cars. Though most were Meotters, it was still the cleanest regional event I have attended. Only a couple on track...
Scott, White smoke = coolant, Blue smoke = oil. The water passage in the intake is there to provide quick warm up of the fuel on cold days. From your description the manifold is your most likely...
Is the infield portion lighted, or do we need to add additional lighting to our cars?

I've used the same HF jack for 5 years both at the track and in the shop with no problem. Last summer I bought two more because they were on sale. No problem with any of them. Two years ago I...
With EFI one of the main advantages is that the ecm (spelled computer) will automatically make those various changes dictated by weather. Stock GM units measure OAT (outside air temp) MAP, temp,...
Heavier yes, but added ballist can be used to balance the car. IE: more weight on the front wheels equates better handling. <_<
Anybody have any video or comments about racing at Nashville?
I ran them for the first time at Road Atlanta in July. Turned the fastest lap ever in an 88 Pontiac Fiero. Weight at impound was 2674 w/driver. Previous tires were Hoosier 225/45R15 R6. The Avons...
Run from the garage screaming! If this guy spent 10K on this car he got shafted. Just from the photos you can see 1. passenger door bars do not intrude yet inner panel is missing. 2. Builder did...
It sounds like you have an air bubble in the slave cylinder. Sometimes it it necessary to crack the bleeder and pull the plunger back into the cylinder then close the bleeder while holding the...
If all corner workers at RA were trained the same as I, You could have an enteresting conversation with the CS.
The GCR does not define when a pass is complete which leaves a lot to local...
Must be wearing an ISSAC. Minimum head movement. Maximum protection.

I worked as a corner worker for two years before grtting behind the wheel. I was told by my trainer that if a driver passed another under a local yellow flag before clearing the incident he was...
K That would seem to be incident specific. If you are on his back bumper at speed a pass may be the best way to avoid a collision. I have seen cars go off track to avoid a collision and pass the a...
During the start of a race there is often a malai going into the first or second turn with cars wrecked. The yellow flag comes out. Cars are stoped in various locations. Some on track. Some off...
Ben, Those are very good power numbers. :D With the Fiero average of 18% driveline loss that would be about 165 crank HP. With a fully developed chassis you should be very competative....
Thanks for the replys. Since I am a realitivly a new driver I need all the help I can get, and since smoother IS faster I will go with the larger wheel.
Thanks

As the title says what diameter steering wheel works best? 13, 14, or 15 inch. Obviously a 13" wheel will steer faster, and a 15" wheel will be easier to turn. I drive a 2600 lb car, and looking...
My car has a plastic roof where the antenna mounts. Currently having com difficulty at RA on the back side of the track. Would a 6" diameter circular piect of aluminum make a sufficient ground...
G Force sells Fia camlock 6pt harness for $134. Most other brands do too :026:

How is it that officials operate under policy when everyone else MUST operate under rules? Does the rewritten rule require a fresh annual before racing in 07?

I have a set of Vertex 5 watt UHF radios which I use at Road Atlanta. They are great on the front half of the track, but I loose contact on the back half. Even that limited contact beats a sign...
