Hit up a P2P client.

I've found quite a few various F1, WRC, etc clips, plus a bunch of Top Gear and Fifth Gear episodes.

New episodes of Top Gear seem to be available within a couple weeks of...

Corrado Fabi, I believe.

IMHO, this makes much, much more sense than our drifting infatuation. Excellent way to bridge the gap from Solo to Club Racing, while offering an avenue to get new people interested.

Kirk:

FWIW...

Unfortunately, I can't provide the documentation, as I forget where I saw it, but I did recently see where they were soliciting paid drivers to run T1 next season. $6500/National...

That'd be one P.L. Newman, no?

Otherwise...

1) I am 27. I currently race an Olds Calais in ITS. I started racing this car in 1997.

Rich:

I heard that a lot of those were due to the new curbing serving as a launching pad. Can you elaborate on that?

Debbie Lafond had a bunch of pics at PRI. The track looked greatly...

Congrats on the ALMS support races! If only the Calais had 4 more cylinders, or spoke German. http://Forums.ImprovedTouring.com/it/biggrin.gif

That makes irony #2 in the lauded SCCA/IMSA...

I'd forgotten I had this file on my HD:

I've heard (may have even received) similar spoofs trying to get my eBay account PW.

Basically, if it's asking for personal info via email, delete delete delete.

IMHO, drifting does not make a good fit for the SCCA beyond a way to chase dollars and pander to "what's hip now." It is a judged competition, which goes against the other facets of SCCA...

Yeah, thank goodness you don't have any hacks like Boris Said, Jan Lammers, and Duncan Dayton filling your ranks! http://Forums.ImprovedTouring.com/it/biggrin.gif ...

I thought the STRANA trucks were a hoot to watch last weekend. Definitely cornered quicker than I expected.

That makes too much sense, Lance.

Would certainly make eating out much better as well, though! http://Forums.ImprovedTouring.com/it/wink.gif

Maybe a few more ponies, but primarily suspension and tires. Our car still has whatever Delco slapped on for Firehawk in '88, and we run whatever tires we have. John has spent a lot of time and...

David:

Don't know besides checking the OVR site every so often.

John Herman won both days in ITS.

I think Jason Albright won IT7 on Sat, didn't watch the end of Sunday's race. Brooks won...

Toby:

Sorry about that, OVR's "merchandise guy" aka co-race chair Phil Alspach was also in one of the garages. He most likely had GCR's with him. If you don't have a contact with your region,...

Per Gary Barnhart (Safety Steward, I believe) on Sun...

Broken arm and some chest injuries, which I took as sore muscles, etc from hitting the steering wheel. Apparently the report of a broken...

All:

I've uploaded some pics from last weekend. Dind't get as many tin-top shots since I was in the Pace Car for Group 1, and my camera elected to test it's warranty coverage on Sunday morning. ...

Is that related to George Costanza's Human Fund? ;-)

I *think* crew passes are usually ~$10/person. The only other way to get into a Mid-Ohio SCCA race (not counting Runoffs) is by buying a Mid-Ohio season pass for all the spectator/pro events.

If...

Bill:

I'm not as familar with Mansfield, but exits 169 (the aforementioned Hanley Rd) and 165 (Oh Rt 97/Bellville) off I-71 have several hotels to choose from. Each are roughly 10 min from the...

Bill:

I'll chip as another offer for help. We'll be in the center garage building, red/white/blue #71 ITS Olds Calais.
