How do we know we're right on this? I have recently learned that when the ITAC uses "what they know" to change the multiplier to a number other than 25%, they use the assumption of 15% driveline loss in a FWD car and 18% in a RWD car. Where did these numbers come from? How have they been...

I need to transport a miata fender from KC to STL over the next month or so. If there's someone willing to move this item for me there might be some Boulevard beer of your choice coming your way. :)

Curious about what people think ITA & ITS will look like over the next 3-5 years. What cars will be competitive that aren't currently being run right now? What cars might fade out? Will IT go national? What happens with car counts if it stays regional/goes nat'l? Feel free to throw in a...

Does anyone have Chris Albin's email address? thanks.

my letter to Heartland Park, the CRB, BOD, Jim Julow, and many others. if you feel the same, please share with your RE, BOD rep, or whomever will listen. Heartland Park Staff - Please forward this message along to Ray Irwin and Ed Ozment, as I could not find their email addresses on the...

so i got talked into running a short 'endurance' race this weekend with a buddy, but we have a slight problem. based on fuel level estimates, we'll be about 7 gallons short at the end if we split the two hour race in two, roughly 50lbs light to be conservative. i suggested he just drive as...

Most of us have said many times how much we wish we could get more media coverage for SCCA, and many of us also realize that NASA is kicking our butt in PR. Well, some local Club Racing guys are helping to change that. For the last few weeks local members Jim Wheeler (A-Sedan driver), Ron Keith...

our latest peoplesoft conversion update at work isn't really working at all, which means i'm sitting here killing time thinking about racing. in my constant debate on whether to go full-on IT racing and build a car to the IT ruleset, or to get some toyos and go back to SM, i started pricing out...

So i'm trying to help this guy get going in ITS, he just had his first race weekend and was disappointed in his lap times. I'm not surprised, as he's got a freakin street car with a roll cage in it (even rolled across the scales around 2900lbs). he's got some sort of aftermarket shocks, a cone...

background; i took my transmission out last week to do a very basic rebuild consisting of only rod ends, forks, and seals. i never took ANYTHING off the input, output, or countershaft. the brass and bearings pretty much all look perfect, so there's really no reason to replace these items in my...

mylaps is up. http://www.mylaps.com/results/showevent.jsp?id=190125 http://www.mylaps.com/results/showevent.jsp?id=190481 what is ITM?

i don't race an ITR car, but i think it's the coolest class in SCCA, and i'd love to be able to keep track of what cars are being built, where they are, and how everyone's doing. so....if you have, or are building an ITR car lets hear it. Name; Region; Tracks you plan to run; results; what...
