Greg et all, as some of you know a bit about my car and the difficulties it would have being transitioned to STU in its present development state, I wanted to run a directional concept by everyone for their opinion. I have an ex-WC Cougar (click on the images link for pictures) with a...

Okay guys, I need some hand holding. I am looking at running my ex WC Cougar in STU at the Glen Race in October. I hold a CASC National License and my car is still WC Legal. I think my license is fine for a one off, the car is legal, but I just need to have it approved by ......? I am really not...

Has anybody heard anything about an updated rules package for the B Spec Class? I know a team in Canada that wants to build a new Fiesta to these rules and is wondering what is going on and if the car is even going to be legal. Does anybody have any information on the class or knows who I...

I met with the distributors of the subject products at a Car Show up here on the weekend. They are both new products coming into the Canadian marketplace and I have no knowledge of the products other than the information I was given by them. Has anybody had any experience with their products...

I am looking into what events I can possibly do with my potential STU car in 2011. As I am based out of Oakville Ontario (Toronto) I am looking at a 4 1/2 hour tow to Watkins Glen, a 6 1/2 to Mid Ohio and a 7 hour to Gingerman. Am I missing any possibly closer events, like Nelson Ledges or...

Just read through the December Fastrack and a couple of things in the STU Rules adjustments jumped out at me that I need some clarification on. Engine rules are okay, but I will need to send my VTS in to get the compression allowance from my VTS. The bigger issue, as I see it, is the head...

I just want to understand the direction that STU has taken in the last couple of years. My Cougar is a legal 2009 World Challenge Touring Class car, that has had no changes made to it. It meets all of the weight and build rules for that time. Is it still legal for STU? I read all the...

As an addition to my previous oil thread, we have been trying to diagnose an oil pressure issue that we had with the car at a race this past weekend. It is a really odd issue and I have some ideas, but I wanted to throw this out to you guys who have a lot more experience with piston engines (I...

I am going out with my Cougar this weekend, so I double checked my alignment to make sure it was according to target. In doing this something started to bother me and this is where I need some help in understanding what other people are doing and why. The car has an extremely long wheel base...

Last weekend, I was out testing with my Cougar (ex WC) and an interesting problem popped up. The track is a very tight track with a lot of hard second and third gear running and only into fourth a couple of times a lap. We normally run with the electric fans running. On initial startup the car...

I asked this before, but it was over a year ago and I was hoping for some new ideas. I purchased an ex-Speed WC Touring car last year and as part of the spares package I received a brand new set of 3 way adjustable Morrisdampers for the Contour/ Focus/ Cougar platform. I have absolutely no...

Just a question to try to determine where my car would fit in if I decide to come south of the border to play with you guys. Try to imagine a 1991 RX7 built to todays WC rules. Main differences between my car and an ITS car is welded in 10 point cage, no dash (like an E-Prod car), bridge port...

I need some help from the experts. Some background, I am running a brand new bridgeport 4 port motor in my sorta like a WC RX7. I like to think that if the WC still allowed 1991 RX7's in the series, my car would be the type. I run mid-pack WC times. We are running a Turbo II oil pump with an FD...

Really odd thing happened at Mosport this past weekend, trying to narrow down the problem before ripping the whole thing apart. Some background. I am running a stock 86-88 6port in our Touring GT Championship, sorta a poor mans Speed GT. I am running an RB Baffle plate, the 80 psi pressure...

Just heard through the grapevine that at the 2005 Labor Day ALMS Weekend that the CASC is putting on another Touring GT 45 minute race. I have spoken to the President of the CASC and he has agreed to allow all SCCA IT cars and SCCA licensed drivers to run in this event with the regular CASC...
