Is this something new with SCCA events? Anyone have any insight or knowledge that they can impart? http://scca.cdn.racersites.com/prod/...l%20Waiver.pdf Dave Dewhurst just posted something similar on the Prod site.

What regions, if any, are thinking about scheduling events at the National Corvette Museum Motorsports Park in Bowling Green? I know that the Tennessee Region is one of the closest, but they are only interested in Solo. Same goes for the Kentucky Region, I think. The track is shooting for...

I apologize if I missed an earlier thread about this. The National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, KY is planning on building a new race track across the interstate from the museum. I just got their latest newsletter, which indicates that they have started clearing the land and have staked...

I just ordered a pair yesterday from Dean at Datsunparts dot com. He is asking $130/each, or $230/pair. He just got his first shipment of 15 pairs. Datsunparts mostly caters to Datsun Roadsters, but he has other parts as well, and apparently specializes in remanufacturing NLA Datsun parts. I...

I am planning on using Jiffy-Tite fittings for the fuel sample port on the new race car. I will be installing a female quick-disconnect like this behind the gas door: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/JIF-21306/ The description says this fitting is valved. My questions are, does it need to...

I need some sources for number kits for the new race car. I had several saved in my Favorites, but apparently a lot of them have gone out of business. Any recommendations? :shrug:

I got my cage builder lined up. While thinking about what I wanted to do with the new cage, it occurred to me that I might want to change where the lap belts are bolted. In the old car I used the factory connections for the lap belts, but my seat was also mounted to the factory seat brackets...

Well, I finally got off my a** and got back to building the new race car. I'm ready to start building the cage, but I'm having trouble finding someone who can do it right, and do it right now. I live in the Nashville area. Any suggestions? :shrug:

I just found out about an event that is happening this weekend at Nashville Super Speedway. It's called the Import Alliance Summer 2010 Meet. I was seeing a bunch of dropped and hopped Japanese import cars heading east on my way home from work yesterday and was wondering where they were all...

My Username and new Password do not work from the Home page Login box. I was only able to log in after an error message when I tried to post a new thread. Also, when I went to User CP to reload my avatar, it is set to Do Not Use Avatar, and will not let me change it.

It's official. Randy Shedd came over to the house last night and looked at the wreckage from the Barber race in July, then looked at the roller I bought last year with the intention of slowly building a replacement race car while still racing Old Yeller. He and I both agreed that I would be...

I'm entered in the April Regional at Roebling Road. I've never raced there, and am considering camping at the track. Roebling's website says they have hot showers and water and power hookups. Is the camping area in conjunction with the paddock, or is it a separate area? Are the showers...

Does anyone know where to buy steering rack boots that fit? I ordered a pair from Victoria British / Blackdragon, and the diameter of the big end is too large. I tried NAPA this afternoon with the same result. I think NAPA and Victoria buy from the same manufacturer. I found some at Courtesy...

It's finally time to buy a new helmet to replace my SA95, and I'm looking for recommendations. In Carroll Smith's book DRIVE TO WIN, he makes the comment that anyone who is not using Simpson helmets is crazy or words to that effect. He wrote the book a few years ago, however, and it is geared...

I'm looking for companies that make headers for a square-port 240Z. I've seen what Motorsports Auto, Victoria British, PaceSetter, Arizona Z-Car, and Stahl have to offer. I even found some Nissan Comp headers. I'm hoping to find someone that makes stepped headers (1-1/2" at the flange...
