I've switched from my van to a motorhome. http://grandrapids.craigslist.org/cto/4651202538.html Near Grand Rapids, MI.

I'll be visiting my son in Arlington, MA (NW side of Boston) in a couple weeks, driving in with my 26' class C motorhome. I won't need the motorhome while we're there (probably for a week or less), but I'm having a hard time finding a place to park it within an hour's drive of his house. He says...

Bought a new seat, so figured I should actually read the rules for mounting it. Found 9.3.41 Seats, which includes this: The back of the seat shall be firmly attached to the main roll hoop, or its cross bracing, so as to provide aft and lateral support. I certainly know about a seat back...

Planning to repaint the entire race car. Here's what I'd LIKE to do: Prefer single stage paint (no clear coat), but not mandatory Paint in my garage, with compressor and spray gun, and not poison myself Touch up with rattle cans readily available locally or online My internet searches haven't...

Has anyone compared the R1S tread compound with the R1? Grip level, overheating, heat cycles, tread wear, feel, etc. I've been using R1 for several years and love the extended life over the purple crack.

S4 RX-7. Not a new issue for me, but still trying to solve it. I don't heel-toe downshift (I've tried, but might be too old to learn :) ). The two tracks I most commonly run require a 5-3 downshift at the end of the long straight. I prefer to row through all the gears on the way down - when I...

So here I am trying to decide whether to bail out on racing this weekend. Predicted heat index values in the upper 90's. My primary concern is not comfort, but medical/safety. I'm 61 years young, no medical issues, but not really in shape. I don't tolerate heat well and have had a couple...

I picked up a Yaesu FT-60R radio primarily to use for course control work (starter), but might want to set it up in-car. It's a dual band radio - will transmit 137-174 Mhz (VHF) and 420-470 Mhz (UHF). I'm not yet licensed for any of those frequencies. What frequencies are typically used for...

Memorial Weekend https://www.motorsportreg.com/index.cfm/event/event.advert/uidEvent/428BAB1C-D70E-8748-E91BB16854191C6D Last year the IT guys made a strong showing at this event in STU. Anybody planning to go this year?

I'm planning to sell my '91 DD Miata. It's got a hard top, but it's kind of rusty, so I don't think selling the top with the car will add much value to it. Are those tops still in demand with Miata racers? What's one that's mechanically fine but tired paint worth? Is shipping it feasible? Seems...

'91 daily driver. When I disassembled it, the front main bearing was very tight in the bell housing. Likewise when assembling - I had to use the long case screws to pull it together. With it assembled, it is so tight I can't turn the input shaft without turning the ouput shaft. I didn't check...

'91 daily driver. When I tore it apart, the long bolts through the Power Plant Frame and the differential were frozen. I finally won, but now the PPF doesn't have the "nut" inserts in the rear. What's next? Fabricate something? New PPF? I couldn't find it listed on car-part.com. Also, do I...

I've got an S5 flywheel, with S4 transmission. I've been running a solid (no springs) 4-puck clutch disc with aftermarket pressure plate since day one. I've come to think that a less aggressive clutch disc might be more desirable. Should I use the stock disc, or does a performance aftermarket...

How does entry to the track work for the Friday evening Test & Tune? T&T registration starts at 3:30, with cars on track at 4:45, but the sups say gates open at 6 PM. Also, are the garages being rented to the PDX participants? If so, when will they be clear? Sure would be nice to set up in the...

What's in a garage at M-O? Power? Bench? Table? etc. Thanks,
