Thanks for the info. Paul won't be back until Monday. Rob43, you are the first I've heard that prefered a tire over the Hoosiers. Any details why? What kind of times are being put down at Summit...
I'm trying to get down to MARRS race at Summit on the 24th of April. I'm in Baltimore. Where and/or what is the best way and best price to purchase some Hoosiers and still have enough time to get...
Is there anyway to make sure that the belts dont' slip?
I should clarify. If memory serves me, it was the racer of the formula car that I was renting during the school. He and another formula racer was pitting for me. They both also gave me tips of how to...
I wear all my gear all the time. I did a NASA event with an in car instructor. He wore jeans and a T-Shirt and told me that it wasn't necessary or required to wear a full suit since it was a HPDE. I...
Sounds about right to me. It's unfortunate that a better or different mouse trap gets kicked to the wayside like that. I don't think design should be a factor as long as it doesn't hinder performance...
I can see your point. As for the belt slack, it just looks like a lot of slack. Plus, when I first started to get my liscence, my instructor asked if I wanted the belts tight because he liked his a...
So it's the single release point that is holding up your design? If egress is the only real difference between being able to play or not. I will just take some extra time and practice getting out of...
GBaker I see your point but what is the problem with having your equipment certified? I honestly don't know. It would seem if you did, from your perspective you would and do have the best product out...
So what's the verdict? You guys are scaring the hell out of the newbie who needs to buy one of theses things. Isaac becuase of it's lateral protection, HANS because of rep, Defnder because is offers...
I will try that as well bilf. I hadn't noticed if the trailer lights were showing any signs. Mainly because I'm driving the truck. But I'll check it out.
Would a pulse preventer do the trick and prevent having to rewire? Also, where can I find wire diagrams to wire a trailer for interior lights/battery etc.?
Thanks. The short answer works. It's too bad. I'll save my breath to argue that it should be changed. But if anyone ever takes it's on seriously, I'll yell and scream with the best of them. As for...
1. What's keeping IT from being a National group?
2. Can I run an ITR BMW without changing anything?
3. Is it worth it to run it without mods if I can?
4. Are you guys "inviting" vets and pros...
Thanks. It looks like in the end it's better in the long run to redo than to chase. Meanwhile, I will look for that ground because I don't know if I'll be able to rewire before March. Come on spring,...
I've looked for a bad ground and I looked for corrosion. The only thing I found was that the contacts had been wet. I blew it out and sprayed some electical connector cleaner. It worked once or twice...
Back again. I have an enclosed car hauler. Sometimes when you turn on the signal light the trailer brakes engage in sequence with the signal creating a herky-jerky turn. Sometimes it happens by...
I've read the posts but am not much closer to an answer for myself. Same as the origianl question with the same cost perameters but for a 94 325, a 06 F150, and 2000 or newer car sometime in the...
I'm in the NE/Mid Atlantic area so there is a little snow. Right now I'm looking at General Grabber HTS, Toyo Open Country H/T, or Firestone Transforce HT as my top three. Then Goodyear Wrangler...
Thanks!!
I have an '06 F150 Lariat that is my partial daily and tow vehicle for an enclosed trailer. I read either in Grassroots or Sportscar about buying tires for your truck that have a longer lifespan and...
What are average race times for ITR at Summit Point, VIR, Beaver Run, Poconos, Jersey and NHM? I made the exact same decision last year and spent this season on track getting to know the car and the...
Great discussion. How often should you check, where/what parts exactly, and what do you look for besides an obvious crack or welt on the E36?
I haven't really assumed anything. I just wanted to see the other side of things. The lower control arms on the E36 are relatively flimsy, but the subframe looks fine to me. I've owned four BMW's and...
I was wondering if anyone wanted to weigh in on this. I recently did an event with NASA. They have started a Spec3 ("SpecE36") class. One of the requirments is that the shock/strut towers, subframe,...
