Looking for some info on a battery for the car. I can purchase a stock battery relatively inexpensively or go to a "racing" battery which is much more expensive. What are the pro's and con's of just getting a stock battery. Weight is not an issue as I have to add weight to the car anyway.

I tried to find something in the GCR about replacing safety gear after a wreck. I of course cannot!! Do we have to replace belts or any other safety gear after a wreck??? Helmet did not impact anything so I assume that is OK.

I would like to remove the cage from my current car and install in another. I have heard about the cutting off of the roof and install method which is time consuming. I have also heard about the cut and sleeve method. I have checked the GCR and can find no mention whether this is legal or not...

So do you all think that as far as rain tires are concerned 2 sets are needed. 1 set, possibly full tread RA-1's, for intermediate, slightly damp, partially damp, drizzle conditions 1 set , possibly Hoosier rains, for actual its raining and the track is WET conditions. I was told Hoosiers will...

I have a set of dirt stockers I received with a car I just got. Any chance these are still good. Great tread, looks good, not sure how to find the date.

Have purchased a new car. Fully set up Integra. I am leaving a 95 escort. I would guess the change in handling is dramatic. The new car is set up much stiffer than what I have been driving. My question is should I regress on the stiffness of the car ie make the springs/suspension softer, and...

The GCR states you need a shop manual for each car. But I do not see what format it must be in. Now that we get the GCR in a CD format is there any reason why the required shop manual cannot be in CD format also.

I have disconnected the front sway bar in my FWD Ford Escort Gt. I have 500lb springs in front, 600 in rear. Koni double adjustable struts, 8611's This action has been recommended to me for better cornering. However without being able to run a test day prior to a race I am a little apprehensive...

I called WGI to check on a garage during the WGI regionals and was told this was handled by the sponsoring SCCA region. Does anyone have the contact required for me to obtain a garage reservation?

Would a 1.6 Miata be totally out of the question in ITA when there are 1.8's out there. A 1.6 might be coming available real cheap so I was wondering. However if it is wholly underpowered for that class then I will forget it. I dont think a 1.8 was available in that year so I assume I cannot...

Tried to contact DaveITB1 but he is not accepting PM's. Dave if you are out there I would like to contact Smarty for some tires. Website does not work. Can you help me out? Thanks Dan

I cannot connect to Smarty's site. Anyone have any info on why?

So with about 3 weeks to go June 18th LRP school and regional registration is still pending. Knowing how much this weekend will cost would be nice info to have. Anyone know if the is a problem with this event?

I do not see any registration hours for friday evening. That is going to make for a very busy Sat morning. Anyone know why no reg the evening before.

Before I screw this up completely I figured asking would be the best course. It is my understanding that you can change things on your car as long as that "thing" came as a stock OEM configuration. I would like to change my car from a power steering type to manual steering. According to the...
