back in the day, I remember some great big time races at Lime Rock. Pretty recently too. AMLS was pretty recent. IMSA, Rolex, multiple big days every year. Some years I had to pick, because I was going to Lime Rock all...the ...time. Won't be a problem this year. THey have ONE significant Pro...

Lately, there's been some chatter about how good the newer street tires are and how they make very good race tires. Chump, lemons, etc guys use and abuse them for hours. Other than the 'divide by 4" thing, the Chump and lemons guys claim that the racing is cheap largely due to the tires lasting...

FYI: Yesterday Dave Parker of OG Racing in VA posted this letter from NecksGen, maker of a very good Head and Neck Restraint. Cliff notes: HANS wrote a spec, people make products that fit the spec, and HANS sues them out of business. This is #2 for HANS. (there may be others I am unaware of)...

OK, its not for a race car, but I'm sure some of you BMW racers know the agony I think I'm about to dive into. Need to replace a starter on a 330xi sedan, '04. Bentley suggests a few simple things, like removing it from the bottom, after removing shields, fuel lines and lowering the...

Here's a letter I sent to the ITAC and CRB, since it's a new year and all. And it's not Ground Hog Day......yet. ;) Now, the ITAC and CRB have MASSIVE support for this on file AND they have the rule already written, so, Jeff, Travis, should people write in AGAIN to support it??

I posted this on the brown board, but this is IT.com, so it should be here as well..... OK, It's a week out, the 13 is over, so we are pretty settled on the entry list. Who's going to win? I'll take my shots. Some very tough calls. ITR: Kip VanSteenburg. I helped pull his motor down at tech...

Greg Amy, (formerly ITA Nissan, ITS Integra, ITB something weird), and Tom Hoppe (Formerly ITA Integra), Kirk Knestis (ITB Golf) and Taylor (?) Traftz(?) are sharing his ITA Miata at VIR and have a pit cam set up streaming live. Currently, 3 hours in, they lead by 2 laps. Cameron Conover, who...

Wow! I'm the first poster in the first new category on IT.com in years... So, to make it relevant... What's the status of the new STL rules?

So, in my attempt to install the waited for all summer and just arrived engine parts to rebuild my motor in time for the NARRC Runoffs, I have discovered my micrometer can't decide on measurements. Take 'em twice, viola! Two different readings. Three tries=three readings. So, I've decided to...

I have gotten official word that the ITAC chairman, Andy Bettencourt has resigned. (for those who don't know, ITAC is the IT advisory Committee that is charges with setting race weights, classs structure and writing/changing rules, and operates under the CRB.) Andy can explain his reasoning...

Major headline, for racers: SFI or FIA Head and neck restraints WILL be required 1.1.2012 To me, this is a major point of disillusionment. To wit: One year ago, the mebers were asked for input on the subject. Overwhelmingly, racers form all points ov view were against such a mandate. A month...

LOL, check out the current registrations for the Regional on the 20th. There are almost more IT-7 cars than ITA!?!?! And equal to ITB, and more than ITS. What is this, some kind of alternate universe? I know, it's early yet.... http://www.nescca.com/registration/currentcount.asp?ID=165483831

I am looking to redo my studs for the season. I'd like to get 12mm 1.5 thread pitch studs that have a section that screws into the threaded hub. They use an allen key to seat them. 2" available threads after that to accommodate spacer and wheel. Old source dropped them because "1st gen guys...

Aren't you guys at Roebling this weekend?? Results guys, results! Inquiring minds need to know!

Well, I'm back at home, and as soon as the car gets off the dyno, the season will be over. So it's time to think about next year! I thought some ARRC feedback might be helpful to the event organizers. Butch, you've come here often looking for input and ideas, and I've watched you work for...

So, down in the NE section, there's a tread about the events at the track. While that thread is about specific things, I thought a more general discussion might be in order. So, what do you do when you screw up? Or, what do you think SHOULD be done. Case in point, on an out lap in qualifying...

OK, so, what's happening in IT up at the Speedway this weekend??

Ok, so I done blowed it up, LOL. The PP and clutch that is, at about 7K in 4th at Pocono. I left all the Humptey Dumptey parts there, so there's no crazy gluing the 100o bits back together. I have a couple transmissions, but they all have syncro problems. So, the good book says we have ONE...

I have been getting erratic readings from my AIM system as it reads the RPMs. I'm using a stock ignition system, and I have been meaning to upgrade for years. I'm a little concerned that my spark isn't what it should be. What is the best practice for a 1st gen racing ignition system? (And, for...

So??? What's happening up there?? I'll start it off. TGA (the Greg Amy) is in Jeremy's Acura teg-r today testing and has spun a dozen times in his own oil that is spewing everywhere, from the overflow or something. (A quart per session) OK, part of that isn't true...it's just a nasty rumour...
