    Threaded body shocks have always been legal, but using the threads on the body for adjustment has not. So the car that you saw, just because it had threaded body shocks on it, doesn't make it illegal.

    Sorry, threaded body shocks were never illegal. However, using the threads on the shock body for ride height adjustment was illegal. As long as you permanently locked some sort of perch to the body...

    I'm sorry, but I thought the appeal had already been heard, Sunday morning, that is the reason that they announced the disqualification the next day. SCCA Pro usually gives you the chance to justify...

    Jon,
    Different engines and exhaust systems have an effect on the outcome, but generally we see a 2-3 hp gain over the DC. The biggest difference we see is the engine continues to make power at...

    Jeff,
    How did it go this past weekend at Road Atlanta? What did you think of the track? Are the drivers mean and evil as described, or are they just some intense competitors?

    Jeff,
    You've got to go to Road Atlanta. It absolutely is one of the most fun tracks in the country. As far as rough drivers go, I think people cause there own trouble somtimes. Go, have fun.

    I'm not a Honda expert, but I hope you are using a boring plate. On that motor, there is nothing supporting the top of the cylinders, so they move around when you are machining.

    I really suggest you call Blake or Tom at OPM and they will talk you through the installation. The object of those bearings is not to have any movement back and forth.

    What do you want us to tell you? You had a worn out motor 8 races ago, and now its still worn out. Darn, I hate when that happens. A good compression number is generally above 165 psi.
