The test day at NHMS is labeled as SCCA only. How do you sign up for this test day? I do not find anything at either the NESCCA site or NHMS site. Also can someone remind me who I speak with to get a garage.

I am now trying to understand the voodoo racers call "suspension setup". I truly understand suspension is undefinable due to its drivers "feel" component. However there must be starting points. Springs heavier in front or rear and why. Do spring lengths matter or can I adjust the coilovers to...

On another thread there was some talk about the usefulness of a DL-1 system. I searched and found a Vorshalg DL-1 data acqusition system. Is this what you guys were referring to? If so I have a question-- in addition to the box what do you need as far as sensors are concerned??

Do wheel spacers really do anything. I understand that they will give a wider stance thus helping in the corners but are spacers in the 10 to 15 mm width really worth it??

I checked the Mylaps site and found no results for the Last Chance race at WGI. Looking at my list of previously accounted for races there are no WGI races listed going back to 2007. I have LRP races and NHMS races listed but none from WGI. Does anyone know why this is?

Running at the Glen this weekend had a so so prac/qual. Tied last years fastest time 0f 2:34. Not very good for experienced drivers and only mildly dissappointing for new drivers. Discussed issue with crew and an idea to change timing came up. I have a 1.8L Mazda engine in a Ford Escort. Changed...

Possibly a dumb question but I have to ask anyway. Is it better to run with the least amount of fuel the car needs for the race to lighten the rear end for ratation or is it better to have the weight for traction in the rear. This is a FWD car.

Well it looks like we will be able to experience some wonderful rain racing at LRP. A setup question? Disconnecting the rear sway bar, installing rain tires are obvious rain setup changes, what about the shock/struts? Soften all, just fronts, just backs, I am not clear on the physics of these...

Registration is now open for the NARRC runoffs at LRP. Supps did not list rain!!!!!

Anyone know why the registration is not yet available for the runoffs at LRP. It is only 3 weeks away. Also even though this event is the "Runoffs" I assume anyone can race or are there specific qualifications?

I am running Toyo R888's and have found what is to me an unusual wear pattern. The 888's as you know have chevron like grooves. I have on the front tires a pattern where the inside groove edges are sharp and very worn. The outside grooves however are not as worn and the edges are kinda rolled...

I am trying to install a new oil pressure gauge in a 95 Ford Escort GT which has the Mazda 1.8l engine. I have purchased and tried 3 different adapter fittings all of which do not quite have the corrct thread. Everyone with a Protege or Miata must have already performed this procedure. Does...

Has anyone received the official results from the Pig Roast for Group 8. We went to get them but were told there were none because they were out of copy paper. We signed up for email copies but have not seen them yet either.

Went to LRP this weekend for the Koni Challenge. Great race, good learning experience. watching their lines and taking notes will come in handy later. I went to the track store and purchased a couple of how to books and noticed a nice stack of the David Gran books. I thought it would be a great...

I cannot locate anything in the GCR specifically concerning the replacement of Fuel Injectors. I assume that the rule which states that if the GCR does not state it it cannot be done. I assume then that you cannot replace stock Fuel Injectors with higher flow injectors since the specs would be...

Rebuilding a Mazda 1.8L BP engine from a 91-95 Escort GT or Protege and am having trouble finding a new Head bolt set. Does ARP make a set or is there another manufacturer. I assume we should not reuse the original set.

Anyone with an opinion on types of brake pads to use. Have 95 Escort GT and have been using Hawk Blues and Blacks. Are these really neccessary in ITA or am I wasting money.

I would like someone else to help with the interpretation of the new ECU rule in ITA. Is it OK to add on to the stock ECU a Venom type piggyback Engine Management system? I cannot find a replacement for the stock ECU so I cannot actually change it and now alterations do not have to be all done...

My engine, 91 Mazada BP 1.8l from a Ford Escort GT, exploded rather spectacularly during the last Test and Tune session on Thur at NHMS. Anyone with info on this engine as far as good parts suppliers would be greatly appreciated.

Anyone know if the Albany area Tech inspection has been scheduled yet?
