Well, now that the write up is finished (just awaiting pictures and video, should be up probably tomorrow night), I can finally talk some smack and think about next year. Hopefully, for next year, I'll have a little more time with the new brakes, the Blethen brothers will be old enough to drive...

Is there going to be tire service at the track? If so, when will they get there (i.e. any chance I could get things started on Wednesday evening after arrival?)? ------------------ Bill Planet 6 Racing bill (at) planet6racing (dot) com

Just to make things easier, I thought I'd start a post so that we can easily track down each other at the ARRC. Name: Bill Hubiak (Planet 6 Racing) Car: Saturn SL2 #/Color/Class: 92 Blue ITA The team should be in Planet 6 Racing shirts/attire all weekend, so we should be fairly easy to...

Well, in preparation for the event, I'm looking for track notes to know what to look for. I have plenty of videos (but can always use more) to relate things to, but would be nice to pick up any secrets to getting around the place... ------------------ Bill Planet 6 Racing bill (at)...

OK, so in preparation for the ARRC, I'm going over everything to make sure that it is a safe trip to and from the track. Brakes, suspension, cooling, you name it. I was thinking last night and couldn't come up with the answer, so I though this would be the appropriate place: What do I do when...

Well, with the impending rule change and since I have the nose off the car right now anyway, I figured it would be a good time to look at adding the front tow hook. But, my question is where best to add it? I don't have a factory front tow hook, so I can just extend that. I want to avoid the...

OK, here is a weird one... I'm having a problem with the brakes on my Saturn and I'm hoping you all can help. At my last race, coming into turn 8 at Road America (a left hand turn at the bottom of a hill), my brake pedal turned to mush and didn't really inspire confidence. The first time this...

Well, since I've started planning for this, I thought I should bring this topic up over here. Who's planning to go? I'd like to get an idea of who is going and when you are planning to arrive so that maybe, just maybe, we can either get a spot where we can all paddock or at least make plans to...

Well, it looks like we won't have to buy new helmets to replace the SA95 helmets until after next season: http://www.smf.org/pdf/m_sa_k2005_timeline3.pdf Snell won't be officially certifying to the SA05 standard until October of 2005, so no helmets would be available until after that. And...

David: I know you know the Coello boys, so I thought I'd go through you. Last time I was at the farm, Niki was selling sets of tires. I bought one set but am interested in more. Any chance you can put us in contact with each other? Thanks! ------------------ Bill Planet 6 Racing bill (at)...

Well, it appears everyone has been quite busy: http://www.scca.org/_Filelibrary/File/04-0...08-fastrack.pdf ------------------ Bill Planet 6 Racing bill (at) planet6racing (dot) com

OK, I'm not going to rag on drifting or anything like that. I just wanted to point out the quote on page 52 of the July SportsCar, embedded in the picture with the Falken Tire car: "I had to come up on out here and see these boys act a fool!" DRUNKEN FIRST TIME DRIFT FAN I'm making no further...

I'm going. Who else is? I'm doing my rain dance now in hopes that it will all be dumped early in the week, giving plenty of time for the ground to dry... ------------------ Bill Planet 6 Racing bill (at) planet6racing (dot) com

Anyone ever do this on their own? I cracked the windshield last night while trying to put the dash back together and, while the initial crack site is less than the size of a quarter, a crack that extends about 1.5" from said site is present. Every glass person that I have talked to has said...

OK, so I put my engine all together and torqued everything properly. Monday I started the engine and brought it up to temperature. Noticed an oil leak, so I shut the car down and fixed that yesterday (new sensors for autometer gauges needed to be even tighter). Today, restarted the car and...

Well, now that Kirk has a car and a license, I thought it was about high time we all got together in one location so we could put names to faces. So, I'm proposing we all start planning now to attend the ARRC. I'm sure we could find a nice gathering place (although I haven't talked to anyone...

So, I was at Barnes & Noble looking for "Tune To Win" and came across a great book on engine blueprinting. Very detailed and discussed way more things than I thought blueprinting involved. This led me to the following question: To what extent do the IT rules allow blueprinting? The book I...

Again, saw this on another forum. Posting it here. Please keep your eye out... ------------------ Bill Planet 6 Racing bill (at) planet6racing (dot) com

Guys: Saw this over at SCCAForums.com. Thought it worthy of posting here: ------------------ Bill Planet 6 Racing bill (at) planet6racing (dot) com

OK, so today at lunch I decided to do a little looking to see if I could score a good deal on wheels on e-Bay (knowing that I probably wouldn't). In the process, I've come across several decently priced wheels, similar to the following...
