For those who are friends with Jesse on FB, he just posted some pics of a brand new build for a customer. A plain white-wrapper for now. Very cool.

What would everyone build if they couldn't do a FWD HondAcura or a Miata? I am looking for something different. I think the chassis limits (other than year) are gone other than the Lotii. So who has some fresh ideas? FD RX-7 with Mazda 1.8? NSX with 2.0L Acura? 240SX with 2.0L Nissan?

I heard that the PTB have voted to not include STL as a 'medal-eligible' class for 2012. Seems as if all that double-dipping by non-STL cars didn't actually 'count' toward real numbers that were to be considered. Still get to run, but not for the jacket. Looks like they will need boost the...

OK, just put a bid in on a complete thefted-out 1990 NSX. Anyone have a source for the dumbed-down cam for the K20A2 or do I need to have a custom one ground? Figuring at 2665 and 220whp, it could play.

Yes, this months 'Pacesetter' in SportsCar is FOM's own Steve Ulfelder. Lot's of great info about him and his quest to become a novelist.

PS: why doesn't this and many other threads not appear on my 'recent' page?

SO what cars are people thinking have a chance? I have my idea...to be sprung mid thread!!! Greg is thinking Teg with a what? Ben likes a turbo and an SIR? I am thinking its going to be Honduh-land. Specific output to cc's is their wheelhouse. If turbo cars dominate, expect SIR spec changes.

I would enter a second class and double dip if the second fee was 50% of the first. Anyone else?

Our donor has arrived. Hardtop is here. Steve got way too good of a deal on the car I want to make it a street machine. 48K miles and straight. Updates will be posted here all winter as the progress happens. Today it got it's baseline numbers on the dyno and it starts getting gutted. We...

Great job making the year great. I hope to travel to some new tracks next year (Summit, Nelson and VIR) and take in the ProIT series. Congrats to the organizers for putting together a popular series! Good luck in 2010.
