I was at the Lowes race shop today and looked that their HVAC hoses. They have some aluminum 3" hoses. Do people use this as a cheaper solution to brake ducting hoses? ------------------ Dave Gran NER ITB #13 '87 Honda Prelude si

I currently have 5 of these 6" x 13" BBS wheels and have been told they come from a VW. I'm not sure if they were standard or an option. In the future I'd like to pick up some more of these (3 or 4). Here is what is on them: BBS 6Jx13H2 191ET 33 KBA40599 Any ideas? The wheels are not a 4...

I've looked around the paddock at quite a few cars that have fabricated air intake heat shields. I looked through the GCR and can not determine if this is something I can legally do. (I ask because I would like to do it as well.) Any thoughts about its legality? ------------------ Dave Gran...

Well, you've got me curious about the history of IT7. When was it first formed? What was the reasoning / motivation for it to be formed? (I did a search and was not able to find a history of IT7) ------------------ Dave Gran NER ITB #13 '87 Honda Prelude si

For the past two years I have not been using a baffeled oil pan. In the past I wasn't very concerned because the motor in the car was pretty old. Now that I'll be putting in a fresher motor, maybe it makes sense. One way for me to look at it is that I've been running with the OEM pan for the...

I've heard a bunch of people that use 225 Hoosier tires on their 6" rims, which really surprised me. I realize that it may be possible to stuff them on to the rim, but I have a hard time believing that is the optimum size. So I'm curious, what width Hoosier tire do you use. (I am specifying...

Yeah I know - it's a bit early to start thinking about the 2005 ARRC but I'm seriously thinking of making the trip next year and need to coordinate my work schedule. Is the ARRC held during the first week of Nov. every year? Based on previous years, there is a practice session a few days...

Over in the Northeast forum we've been discussing the possible increase in entry fees at one of our tracks, Lime Rock Park. All of this discussion has gotten me curious; how much are the typical entry fees in your neck of the woods? Is this for a single or double race weekend? Approximately...

How much does adding a front air dam / valance help? Especially on ITB, C and A cars, I've always viewed this as an item more for show. Now that it is winter and I'll have some time on my hands, maybe it would be worth spending some time to add one. What cheap and fairly easy methods have...

Any idea how many spectators usually attend the ARRC? How is the track for watching the race as a spectator? ------------------ Dave Gran NER ITB #13 '87 Honda Prelude si

Anthony, Could you shoot me a real quick e-mail? Thanks! [email protected] ------------------ Dave Gran NER ITB #13 '87 Honda Prelude si

For the most part the NARRC is viewed as just another race weekend with no more emphasis placed on it. It certainly pales in comparison to the ARRC. What can be done to make more of a "championship" race? ------------------ Dave Gran NER ITB #13 '87 Honda Prelude si

For a while now I’ve been trying to figure out a way to manipulate my ECU, but am not having much luck. The cheaper methods that are currently legal are not possible for my vehicle’s ECU. It may be possible to modify it within the current rules structure, but it would be very costly. Besides...

Before this gets lost in the other LRP discussion, thought it would make sense to create its own topic... “Another important item on tonight's agenda: ideas for recruiting worker volunteers. There is a growing groundswell of opinion that we the drivers should play a bigger role in not only...

Yeah I know there is a Watkins Glen event next weekend with EMRA, but this happens to be one of my favorite events of the year. (Of course I'll be at both events.) On Sat. October 30th, EMRA hosts a sprint race as well as a 1 hour enduro at Lime Rock Park. I highly recommend you participate...

Do any regions use a registration system completed via mail? I’m not just talking about signing up for the race itself, but the part that is done at the track. We have often talked about how to speed-up the process and make things easier for everyone involved... I realize that some people...

To be more specific: Dry – the new Hoosiers Intermediate – unshaved Toyo RA1s Rain – Hoosier Dirt Stockers In what stages of rain should the various above tires be used? I realize that if the track is currently wet and it is not raining, it makes most sense to use the Dry tires because after...

With all of this talk of PCAs and car weights, I'm curious how much 100 lbs (and other increments) effects the car's performance. Yes, I totally understand the obvious physics and recognize that weight does impact performance in several area. For example, people have talked about adding weight...

Maybe this is a silly question and the answer is simply just because. I was thinking about the upcoming NARRC race, and wonder why this (or other regional championship events) are not as big of an event. Is the ARRC officially the national IT championship race or has it simply become thought...

Originally I thought that the final decisions were being made sometime in August. But in the August Fastrak thread Darin mentioned that the BoD meeting is in Nov. Also, when will the finalized decisions be made public? ------------------ Dave Gran NER #13 ITA '87 Honda Prelude
