I had a question for the community- One of my students is doing a science fair project in which he would like to mimic the helmet testing done by the Snell Foundation. The test which he'd like to demo is the internal accelerations tests, using an accelerometer inside the helmet during several...

I'm surprised no one posted this yet, but I had gotten the word this morning that Dick Hummel passed away. The info I saw from DC Region said that he and his wife were killed in a car accident near their home. Dick was an MR2 driver from DC Region, so was well know by many of the racers...

Happy Groundhog Day, the official holiday of the IT Forums. :)

I'll be there providing tire support with TreadZone. If any of y'all are there, stop by and say Hello. Look for the big black Hankook trailer near Gasoline Alley...

Just FYI all- There are still spots available for entrants/students at the PDX at Pocono on June 16 and 17 (Fri and Sat). Go to the TriRegion website for more info- www.triregionracing.org Also, we are still in need of instructors and other workers. Instructors are given FREE TRACK TIME in...

I'd like to know (if you'd care to share) who all will be coming to the Round Table from the IT forums. I'm considering having a little "meet-and-greet" session right after breakfast on Saturday morning. If there are at least a few people coming, I'll arrange for it. I think it would be cool...

Sorry for the late notice on this, but it has just kind of been morphed... At the NEDiv Round Table, we were originally suppposed to have a session on Enduro prep. While it was my intent to have this to hopefully introduce more people to this type of racing, the session has recently taken on a...

I'd like to invite all of you to the 2006 NEDiv Round Table that my region is hosting, March 10-12. We are continuing the recent trend of having a track (actually 2 tracks) of programs geared towards drivers. Some items will be specific to Club Racing, including an Open Forum discussion for...

I believe I mentioned once before about a local club putting on one the these SCCA PDE (Performance Driving Experience) events. At the time, I think several people, including Kirk, and maybe Jake?, indicated an interest in participating as an instructor. Well, now is the time to step up. I...

So, um, Greg, What'cha runnin in One Lap? ------------------ Matt Green "Ain't nothin' improved about Improved Touring..."

I'm posting in a new subject for a couple reasons, but most importantly, I would like to know thoughts on this. If I submitted the rule as proposed below, who would support it, who wouldn't, and why. Please do not turn this into a "it doesn't matter because it won't get changed" thread. I'm...

The rules and such are all up now at scca.com. I'm looking forward to feedback about my first foray in the rules writing process... Also, notice that IT cars are eligible for level 1 (PDE) events, so inexperienced guys can get some cheap driving instruction and more importantly, SEAT TIME...

Just wondering who, if anyone, is going to the SCCA National Convention next month. I'll be there, so if someone wants to meet up for a beer, or just to tell me off in person, let me know! I'll actually be one of the presenters, with the "new" Time Trials program in Club Racing (the New...

OK, according to the GCR, the purpose of IT is as follows- It is the intent of these rules to restrict modifications to those useful and necessary to construct a safe race car. So wouldn't it make sense that wiring is not limited to the stock, and I quote "UNMODIFIED" harness. This means that...
