As I mentioned in my previous post, I think it is important to keep the categories very simple on a forum that has so little traffic. While I understand the desire to sub categorize for purposes of...

The format is the sole reason that I do not visit here much anymore, and when I do visit it seems traffic is way down from before the change over. In my experience the only time this multi-section...

Thanks, Norm

I realize I can find the licensing guys name. What I was getting at is they will not know me from adam.

Anyway, I suppose I should find my 06 gcr and see if there is any mention of this type...

Hmm, interesting how that works. I don't even know who the current licensing steward is, never had to meet him/her. Rep should be fine as far as I know, license is clean...

For the first time in 5 years of racing it looks like I may not be able to get the minimum 2 races in this year. Last year I just barely got the the required 2 in, and this year is looking worse. Our...

Remind me again what the drop dead date is to have the door bars installed?

Thanks

I have a Bendpak asymmetrical 10K two post lift. It's one those things that I should have installed in my shop when I first built it 7 years ago. It is an incredibly productive tool.

I went around...

I have to watch myself as I tend to throw all the kids into the wannabe racer/tuner category automatically. As someone else posted there are some kids out there who are serious about racing and...

No cage, just a vertical tube behind the driver and one tube angling down off the vertical to the floor (such that it is). I don't recall for sure but I think they have to run a c-channel across the...

Oh, I'm well aware of the costs for both the 4-cyl. class and the tube framed "limited sportsman" classes (which is what I raced).

My neighbor runs at the front of the "hornets" class with a $600...

Isn't that the truth. I spent 6 years in and around the local circle track scene before coming to road racing 5 years ago. The cost structure and mindset is completely different. Their trophies are...

Most people have a coronary when I tell them how much it costs to race. I've found the best way to discourage most potential newbies is to simply hand them a copy of the GCR (I keep a couple old...

I get the same type of questions as well. Latest was this year when my family and I came out of the restaurant where we stopped on the way home. A women and her son had parked next to our rig and...

Time for some humor. They say the ability to laugh at yourself is a positive trait, so lets hear your embarrassing racing moments.

I spun out on a victory lap once...

This was a rain race,...

My visitation to this site is almost nil anymore. There are way too many sub categories for the amount of traffic this site has. I'm simply not willing to wade through the maze of categories.

I...

No practical suggestions for you here. I long ago used up all my "good neighbor" points with test sessions. Apparently they didn't appreciated the residential street course I designed.... ;)

That video deserves a thread of its own. That just absolutely made my day, what a total riot!

No more rules, please? No more barriers to entry than already exist. Just stop.

Let the scca school instructors and stewards to their jobs. If the student passes the school/test he or she is good...

Oh yeah, forgot about the National Anthem. They have it everyday at our regionals, usually after lunch. We always stop what we are doing and face the flag at attention for the Anthem. If we can't see...

I run in two different regions. One region has a drivers meeting right in the middle of lunch every day whether we need it or not, and most of the time we don't.

I also view this as a waste of...

How does your region handle drivers meetings? How many do they have during a typical weekend, what time of the day are they held? Are they informative, helpful, etc?

Edited to add: Forgot to ask...

I made the mistake of telling my son about this concept. Oddly enough he is not so enthusiastic about working on the race-car anymore...
