So on Friday morning, there's the typical qual session which determines the PM qual sprint. Considering that only the Sat PM session is a valid race, it kind of seems that taking Friday off from work isn't all that valuable other than seat time. The only thing that matters is the Sat am Qual...

Posted over on the Sandbox but know some of you don't make it over there. You're smart! :) For several years I've been wanting to make the trip down to Road Atlanta to do the ARRC. Especially with the Runoffs being on the west coast, maybe there will be more motivation for people to attend...

In order to eliminate cars showing up along side the grid fence a qualifying session or two before their time to qualify, would it be possible for other solutions? Some other regions base it upon previous qualifying times or just by pulling a number out of a hat. What are peoples' thoughts...

Every year it's a struggle to determine where and when events will be hosted. Go to SCCA.com which has some, but is missing a large number. Always seems like it's up to participants to do searching an piece them all together. I realize it's very early for '14 in the N.E. but this is also true in...

Okay, so it's actually called PDX but whatever. SCCA is running a PDX event in conjunction with the Fri / Sat regional races. The region has novices who want to attend but the region is turning them away due to not having enough instructors. IMO, that really sucks. SCCA really, really needs...

I know that we used to direct them to [email protected] and Rene' was handling them. Sent an e-mail a couple of weeks ago and a quick follow-up to confirm that it was received. Not sure if the e-mail contact has changed, my e-mail is in a spam folder, or just haven't gotten to it yet...

After briefly experiencing Spec Miata and great plans not coming together, I needed to come back to improved touring. Just love racing with mixed cars. Plus I have to go after Abhi and Lawton! Figure that Mickey will find me. While not an Andy Bettencourt build, the car is pretty damn well...

Is there a central location where updated track records are posted? I went to the NE DIV site and it seems to be a bit outdated.

The track rules mention overnight camping fees. Anyone know how much it is and where payment is made? Do most people camp inside the infield or somewhere in the outfield? No fires in infield but not sure that really matters. Does it get relatively quite at night at most SCCA venues held...

Anyone have the contact information for reserving a regional number? I can't seem to figure out who is having the fun of doing that this year.

Last weekend Greg Amy, Jake Gulick, Jake Fisher and myself got together to mess around with the three primary certified head and neck restraint systems. It was really interesting and my preference was a bit different than originally thought. Not a surprise to many of you are the politics behind...

So...... Other than tGA's Integra fun, haven't heard anything. How did things go Stephen with the new car? ITB results?

Just as the title states, this thread contains the Improved Touring Advisory Committee's (ITAC) operations manual.

When dyno results are supplied to the ITAC for review, how is that information interpreted? What I mean by this is the process generates the crank HP rating versus what most of us would provide, the wheel HP rating. Does the ITAC have assigned drive train losses for various cars for this...

Want to dispute the classification process or how things are or have been done? Don't like how on-track performance isn't being used more than indicator, or how the base multiplier for the class is off? Save it for another thread, maybe here. The puropse of this thread is to help identify ITB...
