Lime Rock June 21st

Dude, I'll buy the tix if you can't go!

Floor seats, about 15 rows from stage....... Not a chance of selling them. I'd blow off the afternoon race before I would sell!! Cripes, where's my motivation gone for racing???
Mickey, let me know if you dont get hooked up for crew spots.

[Magical Trevor]

Last-minute shameless plug incoming...


Got a family member or crew guy who you won't keep busy with flatspotted tires, bent fenders or blown gaskets on Friday? Have them get a bit of low-risk,m high-fun driving done on Lime Rock's infield courses (With lead-follow on the big track at lunchtime) for only $110. ($15 weekend membership required if not already cardholding member) Walk-ins will be welcome at registration Thursday night or Friday morning. Loaner helmets available.

Friday Fun Performance Driving EXperience

And, hey, if you find you have the free time, we could use another instructor or two as well.

Looks like the I'm out for the weekend. Car isnt ready...............

Does anyone have room on their crew list? Dont mind spending the $10 entry fee but need to get my truck full of wheels down to Smarty and dont want to carry them from the in-field!!

[Greg Amy]

I'm also withdrawn. My group is now 100% Miatas.

If you can't get on a crew list, I can toss you on the guest list.

Considering going back to ITS or ITR? I have to imagine that's going to be the norm at least for a while.

Considering going back to ITS or ITR?

Yes, considering changing to ITR-spec, and then running STL in the Majors. But there's several useful, desirous, yet IT-non-compliant changes* on the STL car that I'd really like to keep...so it's not likely to happen. - GA

* e.g.,
- Power steering removed, less s**t to deal with
- Coil on Plug (uses the stock distributor but does not "distribute" the spark in the stock manner). Coils and ignitor are inside disty and overheat and crap out. Shitty design.
- 4-bolt wheels; ITR only came with 5-bolt, no desire to buy all-new everything (I run 4-bolt Volk TE-37s)
- Brakes, would have to source ITR stock brakes
- Aluminum flywheel - don't really care about this too much, I can R&R it in four hours; "zero" while I'm replacing the engine with the ITR version
- Splitter, cannot run an effective splitter in IT because the Integra has no underhang below the vertical body outline
- Battery relocation - not that big of a deal
- Fender intake - 30 seconds to remove a tube
- Cage and safety equipment is still compliant, hood and hatch are easy to replace, easy to re-install headlights and move ballast.

Hey, at least I don't have to reinstall a washer bottle...!
