    Default 2013 date for I.T.FEST will be in August

    Hi everyone,

    While this is still unofficial awaiting Mid Ohio's schedule release, I think it is safe to announce that the I.T.FEST will be August 9th-11th, 2013. I will let everyone know if there is a sudden change in the date.

    Best Regards,

    Todd Cholmondeley

    Should be my second event of the year. Really enjoyed it last year! Had some great racing with a IT7.

    Discovered I had a nasty crack (9" long running from the lower control arm to the top bolts of the knuckle) in my right rear trailing arm when I ran the car last October. Was not easily seen until I removed the lower control arm. Replaced the trailing arm along with some suspension freshening should help the whole not spinning randomly thing.

    Along with some other winter tweaks really looking forward to seeing how the car feels.

    If anyone is interested in doing some instructing this year for the PDX the cost is $60 to get your car on the track for the day. The obligation is to take a newbie in their street car and teach them the line around the track in multiple sessions throughout the day.

    Hi everyone,

    I know its early in the registration process but I thought I'd give you an update on I.T. class entries.

    Right now ITC is leading with 7 entries followed by ITA with 6. ITB and ITS have 2 a piece. Nothing yet from ITE, ITR or IT7.

    If you are interested in a garage we have 10 singles and 7 doubles left.

    Best Regards,

    Todd

    I didn't register for it because I might be stuck at work, but if I can be there I'll do it. Can we register late for this?. I like and hate instructing there (I puked 7 times last fall instructing there)

    Hi Adam,

    I understand the puking. If you can let me know the week of the event that's cool.

    Unfortunately I am not going to make it. I lost third gear at Grattan over the past weekend and will not have time to rebuild the transmission in the next week & a half.

    Don't give up too soon. I can work miracles for making racers be able to make their races.

    Ask Kevin Ruck, Ian Green, Colin Brotha and a bunch of others.

    Colin Brotha, 2011 NASA Nats......

    http://www.nasachampionships.com/presspop.php?ref=242

    “I got good start,” Botha said. “Manny Coats was behind me, and he worked me over for a few laps and went by. I got by Erik and then I didn’t have anything for Manny. I would get close in traffic, but couldn’t catch him. I want to thank HPD for helping us out. Myer Motorsports helped me rebuild my transmission last night as well as Hawk Brakes and Hoosier Tires.”
    Sam knew I was coming up to spectate or help. He called me about a 3-4 shifter fork. Instead I brought a complete shifter fork assembly. Sam already had the tranny apart and I stepped in, finished it and by 9 pm Colin has headed back to his pits on Saturday night to install it, you can see the results on Sunday.

    I wonder how many customers of mine are entered already?

    Downing brothers, Hardinson father and son, Ryan Scott, Lee Grimes, might be missing someone.

    Wait, your not on the list yet,

    Throwing this out there because I am not sure if I will be making ITfest.

    Since I am not a customer of Bonespec yet and am in need to have a transmission rebuild anyone towing from West Michigan area that might be able to take a box with them?

    I can pay in either Cash or beer. I will even chill the beer for free.

    Thanks!
