    Since IT is regional...

    Some good conversations on another thread got me thinking.... What if we made cars from other sanctioning bodies legal in our class. I think NNJR PRO-IT allowed some spec bmw and spec 944 cars to race as an ITR or ITS car (can't remember). Another example is what STL does to drive...

    titanium exhaust pros and cons...

    I am currently having a unique stainless custom header made for my RX8 and I have the ability to also get a titanium exhaust from that point back. I am not sure if it's a good idea or not. Does titanium last long? Is it durable? Can it withstand a lot of heat from a rotary? Does it allow...

    2014 NERRC Championship

    A few of us are going to chase points in ITR in hopes to grab a trophy at next year's banquet... :-) since I started the trash talking with a few of them, then didn't do so well I decided to see how many drops we get but didn't see any 2014 rules. Is it the same as last year that we take our...

    MX5 NC (2005 and newer)

    I didn't see it in the GCR, but honestly I am not an expert at miatas and they have a LOT of versions of them! I THINK the NC is the same as what they use in the MX-5 cup, T4, and the new WC TCA class (yes it is in other pro-racing but I was keeping to SCCA). Is it listed in IT anywhere...

    participation or points, what matter more to you in a championship?

    Which do you prefer and why? Currently the championships in the Northeast you must complete a certain number of events to be eligible. But at the same time you also get drops so that it isn't thought of as a participation championship. For example: "NERRC CLASS CHAMPIONSHIPS*are decided by...

    towing with your RV....

    So I see people towing enclosed trailers all the time with class A RV's. My hitch on my RV is only rated at 5000lbs and 500 tongue weight, I can't imagine others are much higher so how do they do it? Should I change it, and if I should where do you get a hitch for something like this. I have...

    Differential advice... Any shops in New Hampshire??

    Although our trip to the Devil in the Dark seemed flawless we have determined that we destroyed 2 ring/pinions over the weekend. At the finish the announcers had been howling at the moon and so was the RX8! After day 1 I complained of a small "driveline noise" which we determined to be the...

    Pre paying for the season...

    So every pro racing series that I know of has a season price and often a partial season price. Does anyone think something like this would work within some of our regional series, like NARRC or maybe something like NERRC that is only administered by NER? It would potentially be helpful for...

    Clutches... What are you using!

    My last few threads have given me some great feedback so I figured I would get some more advice! I had an ACT 4 puck spring type clutch before but it didn't last as long as I thought it would. They also offer a 4 puck solid, and a 6 puck solid or spring type. Not sure if one type would last...

    Oil coolers, what are you using??

    I am thinking of making a few upgrades to my oil coolers in the next few months. currently stock the RX8 has 2 oil coolers on each side in the front bumper. I am thinking aftermarket ones made for racing must be more efficient and offer better cooling... any suggestions? Also what are the...

    Brake pads... what are you using :)

    As the title says. Post up some of your opinions and suggestions on what your using. I used Carbotech in the past as they had great customer service and custom made pads for our Audi's but now that I am running the RX8 I have a lot of options! I would love to here from some of you... I have...
