For the first time in 5 years of racing it looks like I may not be able to get the minimum 2 races in this year. Last year I just barely got the the required 2 in, and this year is looking worse. Our business has gone insane last year and this year, and we are playing catch-up with regards to...

Time for some humor. They say the ability to laugh at yourself is a positive trait, so lets hear your embarrassing racing moments. I spun out on a victory lap once... This was a rain race, with a heavy, steady down pour, a full wet track with periodic river crossings at some corners. About...

How does your region handle drivers meetings? How many do they have during a typical weekend, what time of the day are they held? Are they informative, helpful, etc? Edited to add: Forgot to ask about the National Anthem, when is that played at your races? Does everybody pretty much stand at...

Been looking for a starter car (street car) for my soon to be driving teenager. Only want to spend 2-4K for this first car. Been looking at older BMW's, 240sx type cars thinking that with some work he could use them for track days should he be interested in that. He is also 6'4" now at 15 years...

I like to try and keep the car clean and presentable during the coarse of the weekend. Depending on the weather and what else needs fixing this can be a challenge. The only thing I've really used is one of those floppy duster thingies. This works, but only if it is a light cover of dust. Often...

How many of you guys wear ear plugs? I'm interested in the custom molded type. Do those work well? Any idea what their db rating is? Do they stay in your ear pretty well? I'd like a set I could use in the race car and at the range. I use noise canceling ear muffs when shooting pistol, but those...

So, your race car has been sitting outside for last umpteen months since the last race of last year. You need to change the oil before the first race of this year. Do you: Start the car and warm the engine before draining, under the old adage that warm oil flows better.... OR do you Push the...

deliver my race parts on days when my wife happens to be home??????? Had the old ups gal trained to put the packages down by the shop, right in front of the roll-up door... out of sight. I have got to get this new guy trained... Wayne

Alright, my belts have expired and I need to order a new set. What's the hot ticket in harnesses these days? Do I have to get a 6 or 7 point system, or is the old standby 5 point still ok? Is the multi point set-up really that beneficial for a sedan with up-right driver? How about comfort and...

Where can I find the 2003 runoff results? I've tried looking through the scca site but can't seem to find it. Thanks Wayne

I've been semi seriously looking for an enclosed trailer for awhile now. I've come across a 2001 pace american shadow, 24 footer. Has spare tire, hitch stuff, etrack, floor tiedowns etc. Used 20 times since new. I have a couple questions with regards to using a enclosed trailer. Not so much at...

My son has expressed interest in these cars for his first car. He has $1000 to buy his first car. Dad "might" be persuaded to loan him an additional $1000. What can you tell me about these cars? What are the main differences between the 240 and 300? Are parts hard to find for these things...

My license is up in November. Do I need to have the renewal paperwork to hq by the 1st of November, or by the 30th? Wayne

Well, I'm three days away from a double race weekend, and as usual I'm behind. I didn't check the car out directly after the last event like I usually do, and am just now getting it looked over. I've found problems with two of the four Kumho ecsta v700's. These tires have four races, four...

I would like to buy an older car for use as a commuter over the next two years. The car will then be given to my son when he turns 16. He will use it as a daily driver, as well as track days, high performance schools, and autox. Rear drive is a must, would prefer 4 door but might consider a two...

Hypothetical situation. Driver A is excited because for the first time in several years his run group is scheduled to be first out. This means he may actually get home before O-dark thirty on Sunday night. 95% of the time his run group is last out, resulting in getting home extremely late on...

Any of you guys tow your trailer in the car pool lane? In our state the only requirement is to have two or more people in the vehicle. I frequently tow both my race car trailer, or my rv in the car pool lane. Many times I can make pretty good time in that lane. Wayne

Would you still race if you had to do it all alone? I'm not talking about if you currently have two crew members and then you cut down to just your wife. I'm talking about totally alone. There will be no-one at the track to help you (other then possibly the guy in the next paddock if he takes...
