I have a 2007 Toyota Tundra longbed with the 5.7l engine and towing package. It's 2wd and standard cab (if that matters). A friend has a 20' enclosed that I'm considering and it has electric brakes and a load leveling hitch. I live in the "mountains" of western North Carolina. Was wondering...

I'm looking at buying a 1979-85 Rx7 that a friend uses as a daily driver. I'm trying to decide whether to drive it as it sits, pull and part-out the 12A and replace it, or what. I'm considering a 13B or maybe even a SBC or 5.0 Ford. As an IT7 driver, I know that 12A parts are getting scarce...

Had a brainstorm the other day about the lack of parts for 12A rotaries. Was wondering if you could do an engine swap on a first gen Rx7 and run in ITE? I've been thinking about a 302 Ford engine, but not sure I want to run in SPO. Ideas? Scott Franklin www.NutDriver.org

Thought that this would be an entertaining discussion on the true (comic) meaning of flags. One I've read somewhere before was "Single yellow: Some jerk has spun/crashed/stalled ahead, but was kind enough to get off of the track". Now, for your input..................

Just got home from the Petit. Was with Scott Sharp after he pounded the wall at T11. Can't print what he told me, but it made me wonder what the more interesting excuses you've given or heard that led you to speak to a corner worker or steward might be.

Well, I've been married for more than 6 months now and I need the group's help again. The spirited discussions that we had about marriage versus racing have let me to pick the community brain about the expense of racing versus kids. I got my wife a kitten hoping that it would do the trick, but...

Captain Who and I have been discussing the pros and cons of renting versus owning recently and I was hoping for the input of others more knowledgable than we. At present, we have an IT7 car that has cost about $7K in blown motors since this time last year. Other than consumables like front...

On Thursday the 14th of June, there will be a meeting/social at Ryan's on Lauren's Road in Greenville, SC to discuss setting-up of a chapter of the CCR to better serve the SCCA members of Western NC, the Upstate of SC, etc. One of my personal complaints with the region is that the autocrossers...
