I've been enjoying reading all of the race reports so far this season, and I'm anxious to join the action, but was called earlier than expected this spring to work on a new race series and assist with some young driver development. Here's a sneak peak for the Northeast Division IT crowd of a...

Anybody know when on-line registration will be activated for Pig Roast weekend at NHMS? The "paper" forms are posted on the ner.org site (complete with sanction number), but the on-line registration site still lists them as "pending".. Just curious.. -noam

A little of topic, but I need to get a non-drivable (slightly tweaked) pickup truck from Hartford, CT to southern Maine. It's a little too big & heavy for my trailer/tow vehicle. Wondering if anybody in the greater Northeast Region has any thoughts. Please contact me directly at noam.levine at...

I KNOW a bunch of you will be racing on Saturday and Sunday.. Why not stay another day and help out? Since you'll all be at NHIS racing Memorial Day weekend, why not stick around on Monday and give back to the region by sharing your knowledge and enthusiasm for the track as an instructor for...

I know everybody's planning for Lime Rock this weekend, but it's not too early to think about RAL - particularly the past ability of the IT community to garner charitible contributions for the cause (with Tim K. historically going way above and beyond the call). Unfortuntely, even though I've...

I'm used to cars with spin-on filters that I could add a sandwich plate to. Any suggestions for adding a cooler to an M44 engine? Is it similar to adding a cooler to the 6-cyl cars? Thanks, -noam #18 ITA BMW Z3 NER SCCA

Can anybody lend any tips on what I need to hammer, drill, or unbolt to disable the steering column lock on a Z3? Can any of you E36 folks provide some insight as to what you did on your cars? Thanks, -noam

I'm planning to add NASCAR-stlye door bars to my cage. ITCS 9.f. says "... The driver's door window glass, window operating mechanism, and inside door latch/lock operating mechanism may be removed and the inner door structural panel may be modified, but not removed..." if NASCAR-style bars are...

I know there was a whole thread recently on wheel widths, but I just encountered a new wrinkle that may cost a fair bit of change. I'm starting to set up a BMW Z3 for ITA and I picked up an ex-SSB car as a starting point. The car came with 16x8 wheels as was allowed in the SSS for that car...

Looking for a good race header for a Z3 1.9 (M44 motor). Haven't had much luck locating one. Anybody have any thoughts? Thanks, -noam

Just wondering what the consensus thought is on the competitiveness of the 318ti in ITA. Anybody running one? I currently run an older, outclassed Honda in A and am thinking about moving to a RWD platform (and one that can be run in both SCCA and BMW CCA club racing), but not sure I'm ready for...

So, what exactly happened in the group 1 race? I saw double yellows coming through Big Bend, but by the time I caught up to the back of the pack (granted, it took me a lap or so - pace car came out behind me), they threw the checker as well. Saw Jeff Leone's Fiesta (I think) in the armco at the...

I'm in the market for some new 13x7s for my 1st gen CRX ITA car, and was wondering what backspace folks are using... The current wheels I have rubbed (ok, they self-machined a bit) on the inside, so I was wondering what other folks do to make a 7" wide wheel fit under a 1st gen car. Thanks, -noam
