I have agreed to organize the NER information booth for next weekends races at Lime Rock. Should be a wild event, as they have a bit of everything. Including our own Speed World Challenge, which is perhaps the best raing in the country right now. Past events have been phenominal races. Watching...

It's my opinion that we should all be mandated to have an low oil pressure light to alert us to potential problems, which would help avoid oiling the track, and help save our motors. Recently, a racer lost an oil line and flew off the course. He had been troubled with a coolant issue earlier...

To some of us with a bit of history knowledge, and especially to us in the Northeast, the name Jim Vaill has special meaning. Jim Vaill, the man most responsible for carving Lime Rock out of his fathers gravel pit with a bulldozer creating one of the great American road circuits has passed...

OK, it's Sunday night, the racing is over, and I'm dying to know...(wish I ws there...) What happened?? Who won? Who crashed? Who had great moves? What was the best race?? Did Ray Lee take his first Acura win and redeem himself? ------------------ Jake Gulick CarriageHouse Motorsports ITA 57...

Can anybody suggest a solution? I can't get my pilot bearing out. Actually, the pilot bearing race. The bearings and cage were toast and are on the floor. I have tried: -The cool dual "hook" opening slide hammer puller thing. No avail, not enough space behind the race to get a grip, it...

OK, guys.....opinions needed. I currently have Tokiko Illuminas on my 1st Gen RX-7. I'm considering a change in spring rates as recomendations have gotten stiffer since I built the car. I'm concerned that I will be over springing the dampers. So, what do you guys think the Illuminas can...

I'm finally getting to corner weight my car, and adjusting ride height has proved difficult. What are you ITA RX-7 guys running for ride heights? I've been recommended to get the car to the 5" minimum, but theres just no way. Tire contact is a huge problem at any height approaching 5". I'm...

I posted this on the NE section of the site, but no response so far... I'm making a pilgramage to the 70's home of the US Grand Prix, Watkins Glen, and I was wondering if anybody had some setup thoughts. I have a choice of gearing, either stock or 4.88, and would like any susp. setting advice...

Hey guys.... Sorry if this is redunant...I searched the site for info on this but came up empty. I have the standard coilover strut setup on the front of my 1st gen RX-7, but the rear has just racing springs in the stock location. I'd like to corner weight the car, and I know some guys have...

I'm doing a little research, and... Can anybody point me to a good source of info for spec Miata? Rules? Parts sources? Hot tricks? Best year and options? Hints? A web site maybe? Thanks! Also, what do you all think of the potential of a Miata as an ITA car??? ------------------ Jake...

Why is it always an hour earlier than reality on this site? Is it an attempt to shock us procrastinating racers and get us back out in the shop?? ------------------ Jake Gulick ITA 57 RX-7

Well, I tried to search the archives, but to no avail, so sorry to repeat this if it's been covered before. OK...Does anyone have a good solution for the loud obnoxious noise problem when running the race car in the shop and around the house? My car has the usual header, and a twin primary...

I hope this hasn't been covered to death here.....but what's the best oil for an ITA rotary? Does anyone have any data from testing or an article they could refer to? Thanks, ------------------ Jake Gulick ITA 57 RX-7
