So, I just watched the F1 practice fron Bahrain on SPEED, and what a spiritual lift! I couldn't help but notice some interesting factiods that relate to IT at this juncture. First, V10s are out, V8s are in, in an attempt to slow the cars down. Right...like that'll work! So far, in practice...

This is probably equally appropriate in the "support" section, but maybe some brainiacs on the site know... My inbox is full...again....and there are PMs I need to keep. Short of cutting and pasting to a word file or something, how can I save these? I have tried both options in the "archive"...

OK, so the recent changes to the class structure have been received, in the big picture, rather well. Amazingly well, when you consider the number of changes. Except for a select group, the BMW E36 owners, who have been, lets say, rather vocal in their ...ummm...disagreement. So, lets just...

I'm posting this on behalf of Bob Dowie, last years ITAC CRB liasion, and current GT Ad hoc liasion and CRB member. As the SIR technology is new to us, he thought this explanation and listing of sources might be helpful and useful. I would like to point out that this is the first time that I am...

I read the term "rules creep" in many posts here, and it always seems to have negative conotations... But...is it really THAT bad??? The automotive world, and racing has changed a LOT since the 80s, and so has the ametuer club racer. How many of us would drive our car to the track, and to...

The truck is a 2001 GMC Sierra 1500... Rear wheel drive, 5.3L automatic. Pretty standard stuff. I tow my 22' enclosed trailer with it, and the brakes on the trailer are great, but, the stock brakes on the truck are nearing the end of their useful life, and before I am out in the snow changing...

On fast moving threads, like the recent Lexus IS300 in ITS thread, the pages get added quickly. When I check in, I may have last read say, page 7, but it's now on page 9. The little page icons would display a 1, 2, 3 > 9. So to get to your last read post you need to click on 9, then go back...

I have recently aquired a set of 5 Gotti 3 peice 13 x 7" wheels with a 4" backset and 4 x 110 bolt spacing. (or is it 4 x 100? I always forget...whatever it is it is NOT the same as Hondas and VWs.) Sadly, they are rather mangy. Assiming that slight runout areas of 1/16" laterally is OK, a new...

OK, here's some info on NHIS. Others should respond to this thread with updated, or more info, or PM me and I will add/edit the info. 1. Camping - yes. B-, You're in the grass paddock. Some guys bring thier motorhomes, but I have no idea what they do for dumping etc. 2. Showers - A. Two...

I LOVE this ! How cool...directions, the line, where the power outlets are...and....how about a section for local auto parts stores?? If we all put in our local knowledge, the afternoon thrash of just trying to find the closest store to buy a replacement widget would be SO simplified. We...

OK, so I couldn't sleep... the new site is great, seems to be chugging along fine, and has lot's of cool new features...note the graphic capabilities! And it can do some sorting and research... So....who can tell me who the first guy to register was (there are actually about 7 answers, but I...

So, does anyone know where my favorite about to be racer Simon is, and what is he up to??? It's been a long time since I've read anything from him, and I'm curious! ------------------ Jake Gulick CarriageHouse Motorsports ITA 57 RX-7 New England Region [email protected]

SO, a guy walked up to me on grid at the ARRCs, and ID'ed himself as a pro photog. I knew of his work, and he said he had a website...but for the life of me, his name has escaped me. Anyone know who it is? ------------------ Jake Gulick CarriageHouse Motorsports ITA 57 RX-7 New England Region...

OK, the winter is almost here, and another year went by without me doing enough driver development. Part of the plan fro next year is to venture out to some new tracks... So...who has the best system for learning the tracks we run in cars like we drive? I'm thinking that i would love to see a...

A protest story….a bit long. Many of you are not aware of a recent protest action in the NE division. It has been discussed in the NE section of IT.com under the heading of “Hawthorne Protest”. I suggest some background reading. I warn you also that this write up is not a short one, but even...

Ok, I'm thinking of adding the RX-7 to the list of cars to be considered for a move to a lower class by writing an "official" letter. So...if we WERE to be moved to ITB, lets look at the issues. 1- Wheels. No more 7" wide rims. The often used sizes on the 7" rim are 225/50-13 and 225/45-13...

Hey guys- Just wondering if some of you SE guys know of who the Hoosier supplier was at the ARRCs last year. I heard good things about them. I am considering bringing some whwwls and mounting a fresh set on for the first session of the test day so they will be ready for the practice/qual/ race...

Whats going on with the "closed" threads> They looked pretty innocent to me.... If GRJ doesn't get edited or locked, I don't know why these would..... I wondered if it was because you had a forum on the ARRC site, and wanted all ARRC talk there, but thats silly, and there was none there...

Ok, some of us RX-7 guys think we are underdogs in a major way in ITA. But the writing on the wall says we're here to stay. PCAs may add weight to some front runners, but adding weight to ALL the frontrunners AND the new cars coming from ITS isn't very likely. And while we might get a weight...

OK, the cheating thread and a discussion at the recent apres Comp Board bar meeting brings up this idea. Lets start with some truths: 1- Most of us don't like the level of cheating that is suspected of existing in IT. 2- None of us wants to be the bad guy to write the paper. To that end...
