    Kid Support of help at LRP?

    So... I am stretching to make LRP given single dad status and a couple of complexities that come with that fact. My daughter will be with me on Sat AM for my Group #1 and Group #3 run groups. I will have "coverage" for the PM races, but am reaching out to see if my daughter might be able to...

    Unofficial/gentleman's tire rule?

    Good evening... I have been quite fascinated by Dan Sheppard's IT7 efforts last year where he ran the NER season with the same set of tires. I love this idea in terms of playing field leveling, cost managment, and tire management. And cost management again. Yeah... not a winning idea if you...

    Any EEs out there? Is this easy?

    Ah... a little project idea/pipe dream for y'all who know about electrons. I have a lap timer that needs a beacon. Thinking about using the lap timer a bit to get some more real time feedback if something I am doing is working or not. However, never had such good luck with beacons and IR...

    Part to buy or borrow?

    Looking for the "rear section" of Springfield dyno exhaust for a 1.8 miata, though a 1.6 might fit. Way down on power and found a substantive crimp in the section (thanks exhaust guy). Pretty sure that this is not the full casue, but I would like to start some of the triage. SafeRacer does...

    Fire system v. hand held extinguisher

    Hey folks... I had a good set of laps at LRP last week and was pretty sure that I saw GOD as close as I would like to in the next 40 plus years... Wow... a decent lap reqires a lot of "sucking it up" on my end... but eveyone else seem ok with the madness into west bend and the downhill...
