There’s a need to create a resource to serve as a volunteer recruiting tool as well as provide information that existing volunteers and regions need. A few regions have asked if I would expand my website to include this type of information. I think it’s a fantastic idea but can’t take on this...

Having run a couple of MARRS races, I really like how they handle the grid for qualifying. None of this line up along the fence four sessions before yours crap. Especially for tracks such as LRP where these cars get in the way, why allow it? Regardless of when you get to grid, your starting...

So I finally got the race reports and in-car video up. The trip to the event and hotel situation is probably more entertaining than the hub snapping off my car, and Kai ending up in the hospital. There are two blog posts for this one! During the ProIt race when it started pouring, cars were...

Almost more for while on grid than actually racing, I'm beginning to wonder if a driver cooling system might be worth the investment? Opinions for and against them? Jerry - while at the Glen you mentioned some other way that you put one together. Could you explain what you did and tell us...

At last weekend’s Watkins Glen national, they decided to have a triple split start to give some separation between the classes in group 1 that had 72 cars. Something I’ve never seen before but overall worked out quite well. Glen Track Map...

Looking to attend the upcoming Watkins Glen National event, and then the SCDA event which occurs the next two days after the racing. The Glen does not allow camping during the SCDA event, and I'd like to find one location to set-up. Looked at the Watkins Glen State Park, but a few people...

FREE Mentor Program and Guide Into Racing It’s been a long time in the making, but the new website which contains all of the information from the book I wrote Go Ahead – Take the Wheel and the new mentor program are up and running! In addition to the previous focus of helping people get out...

Odd - I looked in the NE section of this forum and only see two threads. Do I have something set incorrectly on my viewing options? Anyway, has anyone heard of adjustments of the run groups. Between the regional and national groups, there are a few which are oversubscribed.

I'm getting quite tired of paying ~ $25 per tire for mounting & aligning. There are a couple of places that will do it for less, but they also involve a 1/2 hour drive, drop them off and come back another day. In the end the cost savings is minimal when everything is factored and just not worth...

I'm getting closer to launching the mentor program and new website. Before I can make the "application" for students, I need to obtain some mentors for various forms of motorsports including autocross, HPDEs, time trials, and/or Club Racing. If you have experience in any of these areas...

Anyone have sample competition licensing school exams that you would be willing to forward to me? I want to create a mock test for people to take in order to help better prepare them for the school. I'm curious to see what some regions use. Thanks!

(Cross posted from roadraceautox, but know some don’t post over there.) For a few years now I’ve pitched the idea to SCCA of developing a mentor program. They liked the idea, but for whatever reason it’s just never happened at least on a larger scale. From what I understand there are a couple...

Anyone have the contact information for reserving a number for national races? I went to the NER site and couldn't locate anything.

Trying to coordinate a few things with work and want to confirm that the track portion of the school is held on 5/1 (Sat). The NER site shows 4/30 but appears there's just a 10 pm class session that evening?

I can't seem to find the records published anywhere for the various IT classes. Anyone know where this information can be found or exactly what the track records are?

Just wondering if any other ITB drivers from here are planning on going to the Glen Fun One? Thus far there's only two signed up. :(

For the Fun One at the Glen, the supps state that camping will be in the paddock area and no infield camping south of Wedgewood Road. If camping in a tent, do you really need to camp in the paddock? Is camping in the outfield allowed?

I’m hoping that by trying a few new approaches, it will be possible to get the SCCA edition of “Go Ahead – Take the Wheel” in more peoples’ hands. Probably the biggest thing I’ve done is create a new affiliate program where anyone can join and earn 35% of sales generated from links they create...

<rant on> Jake G. called me today about tickets to attend Saturday's AMLS event at Lime Rock Park in on 7/18. He said it was $60 for each ticket, but I had a hard time believing it. Quickly logged onto the LRP website and yup, $60 for Saturday alone. In years past I've always thought the AMLS...

Anyone have a good recommendation for a shop to repair a tweeked rim in the central CT area? I don't want to ship the rims out. Thanks.
