i am converting my ITB CRX Si to be legal for GP as well. i will likely get something like the fuel safe enduro 8 gallon cell for G PROD (hopefully HP by next year).. http://www.racerpartswholesale.com/fsafe2a.htm i am concerned about how to "frame" it in the back and not weaken the uni-body...

the original log book is getting close to full and there is an entry / item that needs to be fixed before going on track (a cracked turn signal lens). for going from ITB to GP, the turn signal lens needs to be removed and will not be an issue. but i plan to run the car in both classes this...

i'd been looking at Hondas but man these are tempting: tab to page 7 at http://www.meijer.com/OnlineAds/default6.aspx?sid=22 $899 for a honda 2000i is pretty good for wow $99 on sale. i know, its not good for much and is "dirty" power but the price sure tempts one. i could get this and a...

i'm going to add aluminum windshield clips and was wondering if anyone has any suggestions for how to bend to the proper contour and how to attach. don't want a stress point on the glass and want to have it bent to be almost touching and not look like a hack(saw?) job. tia, tom

now many might think the cockpit is a given and then it is a toss-up of the other two. but i would also like some input from corner workers on if they think the most likely places for a fire (due to oil/gas at the motor or gas at the fuel tank) is the best place to stop the fire and its...

i am planning vacation requests for next year's ARRC event. i have never been to road atlanta and expect a huge learning curve for the track first time. but it has brought up another idea with regards to trying to judge competitiveness. at first glance, it looks like the times of the top cars...

not sure if everyone was aware of the new website: http://www.greatlakes-scca.org/

i am updating / upgrading the ITB car to allow running National races to have more flexibility in running more race close to home. the fuel costs for two long tows can go quite a ways to paying for a fuel cell, etc. i have also asked about what to do at the Prod board and some have said that...

per the 2006GCR: 2. Each mounting plate shall not be greater than 100 square inches and shall be no greater than 12 inches or less than 2 inches on a side. Cars registered prior to 10/1/95 are exempt from this rule. i am looking at a used car that has a logbook that was issued prior to...

lately every diesel pump i frequent has a sticker attached saying that it is illegal and harmful to use the fuel in 2007 and later diesel vehicles and gives some numbers regarding the ppm levels of sulphur. so are there other pumps out there or are they out of luck? note that this is based on...

i'm doing the motor work and want to add essentially 0.45 compression points. i have a decent understanding of how to know/calculate everything except the compressed gasket thickness. can i do a ratio of a new gasket (e.g., assume 50% of original thickness) when compressed? or do you pull the...

the worst part is that i already have an inverter and it is something that i am capable of doing. i asked a quick question and he had one of those inverters the same basic size as my Peak 350 watt that i clip to the battery. he uses the 12V into the trailer and then had this mounted by the...

with all of the rules "clarifications" lately in the various threads, i have realized that i am a cheater in thought and actions and wanted to apologize to everyone for past and future deeds. 1) i will install a micro sleeve to save a crank if needed. even though i don't know what they are...

given the high cost of travel with fuel costs, i figure i can save money by going to production :119: and running some local national races instead of driving 400 miles to a regional IT race. if i am reading the prod rules correctly, the only things i have to do are: a. windshield clips...

is anyone in CEN DIV or elsewhere thinking about going to H5 next year? the NASA championship at Mid-Ohio has a certain appeal but there are so few cars that run H5 around here that it could be for naught when it comes to meeting the invite requirements. i too have not decided but am wondering...

i am thinking of moving to gp from itb with my crx si and want to get an idea of how competitive i may be without going big bucks on the motor. the obvious thing is the 100+ of lead in the car i had to add to go from ita to itb. now don't laugh, but i may be able to save money by racing in the...

i've decided to go the nitrogen bottle in the trailer route. what is the most common size that will work and not break your back hauling back for refills? for those using the quite large bottles, do you haul back in the trailer to exchange or pull out of the trailer? any thoughts on what...
