    How to measure static damper ride height?

    I've looked for the defination of how to measure this, but haven't been successful in finding how to complete this process. Koni explained it to me over the phone, although I was having a difficult time understanding how this is done. If I'm ever able to get the darn bolts out of my rear...

    Time for the NER and other regions to develop “ownership” of specific tracks?

    In the NARRC thread, there’s been discussion about membership involvement with regions. Rob Breault Dave Patten I’ve often thought about becoming more involved with a region, but wonder which one? I consider the NER to be my home region, therefore that would be the obvious decision or would...

    Trying to understand chassis tuning

    Chassis tuning has been a weak spot of my racing program and is something I would like to begin learning more about. Thus far, I have found the process to be very confusing and intimidating. Depending upon whom I speak with, I receive varying advice. What makes this especially confusing are the...

    Power steering overflow (for a Neon)

    This past weekend at a HPDE with our Neon, it looks like the power steering reservoir is over-flowing a little bit only while out on the track. I've heard of this happening with other vehicle makes, but am not sure how best to resolve the issue. I checked the fluid level, and it appears it is...

    Tire vendors & support

    I believe this came up before, but it's now lost in the 20 pages of other discussion about the event. What vendor(s) will be at the event to sell tires and mount/balance them. My primary concern is that there will be enough support to meet the demands. The Hoosier & Goodyear vendors at the ARRC...

    A different perspective from a racer's mother

    I though this was an interesting and very different perspective from the types of reviews my book has received thus far. It’s also pretty funny and I can easily picture what she is talking about. I wonder why? LOL "Written by Author Marisa De Franceschi. Marisa has been a published author for...

    Racin' is Rubbing, or Is It?

    There's been talk about various moved professional racers have made lately, and personally have conflicting views on the subject. IMO, in club racing people should try to avoid contact as much as possible. Sure, I'd hit (I mean tap) my friends while out on the track but someone who I don't know...

    New Lime Rock Website

    I saw a picture of no name straight, and it really got me ready to get out on the track. Check out the new site. My only complaint was I couldn't find my name in the Lime Rock's Legends page. What's up with that? Gesh! Lime Rock's Web Site Oh, for all of us IT.com addicts: Wi-Fi isn't just for...

    In another thread I recently posted, the purpose is to shed some light on the actual protest process. How to file an effective protest & more Before getting to that point, the actual decision of moving forward with a protest needs to happen. In previous discussions we’ve discussed ways to...

    An Education and Guide to the Protest Process

    Since we're still in the winter months, I might as well stir things up a bit. :D We’ve often talked about how we are responsible for self-policing our classes, but many of us are intimidated by the protest process. This maybe caused by a lack of knowledge of how the process works, potential...

    DIY vs. Bought Air Intake Systems

    I will be replacing my air intake system and have been evaluating buying a built system versus building my own. On some of the Prelude forums, people talk about making their own air intakes from tubing bought from J C Whitney. Essentially the process involves cutting a 180 degree mandrel bent...

    Possibly experiencing issues with my tranny, but not really sure

    I posted this on honda-tech but maybe someone here has an answer or suggestions on this? During the off-season I had a new final drive installed in my Prelude and just completed the engine install. When I go to turn the rotor, it is very difficult to move. If I put a tire on it, I am able to...

    Using a different size rim for practice days?

    I have a feeling I already know the answer this but keep trying to convince myself otherwise. Last year I damaged a couple of my 13" rims and for a few reasons have decided to buy 14" rims for the upcoming season. My delima is what to do with all of the 13" Hoosier tires I have. (There all are...

    Compilation of Mid-Ohio Videos Thread

    Since there will be many of us who have never been to the Mid Ohio track, I'd love to see some videos. Besides that, it would be great to get us through the winter months (at least those in the colder climates). So, whose got video they willing to share?

    National license requirement to instruct at competition schools

    Last year I sent in my membership and license renewal for a regional competition license and later decided that it might be nice to offer assistance instructing at the two competition racing schools being held in my area. I was surprised to learn that in order to be an instructor at these...

    How to reach outside of the existing racing community?

    The primary motivation for writing my book Go Ahead – Take the Wheel was to show people that getting into racing is possible for the average Joe, and break down many of the myths people have about racing. One area I continue to struggle with is how to effectively gain exposure for my book...

    May 18th & 19th Lime Rock Double

    I keep thinking that it would be really cool to have a different type of race weekend format. I know in the past we've discussed some ideas, and the inverted starting order quickly comes to mind. At first I thought it might disrupt the points chase, but the other night I was watching the British...

    Watkins Glen Events

    I'd like to do a race at the Glen this year. Are there any weekends when car counts are typically higher than others? The Sept. 15 & 16 double event is tempting. What are others plans for the Glen this year?
