Just out of curiosity... I've always raced under the philosophy that we do this for fun, and it is much more fun to actually compete with other drivers for position than to win running all alone. Of course the ultimate high is to have good, close racing, where you come out on top; but with the...

Minutes are here Tech bulletin is here Of note in IT: CRX 1.5 (88-91) moved to ITB '86 Mustang GT in ITR ITB MR2 loses 100 lbs - Yea!! ITB Accord loses 100 lbs 4th gen Camaro 3.4L in ITS

Supps have been posted, and registration will hopefully soon be open (it was, now it's not...) for the final DC Region event of the year, the "Something Different" sprints/relay/PDX at Summit Point, Oct. 6-7. The Saturday will go like a normal MARRS weekend (this is not a MARRS event btw)...

As the title suggests, we are in need of a few more instructors for the PDX on the Shenandoah Circuit this Saturday (8/4). If you have instructing experience, want some free track time & free food, sign up and come on out. Info is on the DC Region's website here. Since registration via DLB...

Just to expand on a topic that started in the Mark Pombo crash thread on RRAX; how many of you guys do the left-foot brake test going into heavy braking zones? I never have, mainly because I questioned its usefulness. I always figured that by the time you realize something is wrong, and react...

I will be replacing the wires this week on the 240SX, and thought I would poll the Nissan guys to see what you are using and what you thought of them. I've only been running Accel 8mm Spiral Core wires so far, and really have no complaints, but just thought I would get some opinions before I...

Was just perusing ITB specs, daydreaming about racing something that might actually have a chance at a win...but I digress... Came across the B13 Sentra in ITB, and I see it is classed at 2520 lbs. I'm thinking, wow that's heavy for ITB, it must make gobs of power. I look it up and, um, no...

Has been up since Friday - the sauce is weak around here this month... Minutes are here Tech bulletin is here Of interest - under "What do you think?" "Member input is requested on whether an allowance should be made to permit disabling power steering assistance on IT cars, including...

Minutes here Tech Bulletin here Nothing much really for the IT guys, some thing for the ST crew - I'll let Greg elaborate on those. I was very happy to see the rule that now recognizes ARMS and EMRA comp licenses; as I just recently made the decision not to renew my SCCA license this year in...

You guys are slipping, these have been out for a few days: Minutes here Tech bulletin here IT highlights: Wheel diameter proposal goes to BoD. ITB Golf gains 45 lbs. Letter both for & against "inconsequential items" removal...hmmm. ITAC wants you. Lots of ST clarifications, etc. Nobody...

The DC Region is hosting its final PDX & Track Trials on the Summit Point main circuit the weekend of Oct. 23-24. PDX both days, Track Trials Sunday only. More info here.

Quick question for all you 240SX guys - I noticed Saturday as I was taking the car off the trailer that the brake lights are now always on. Since I was re-decking the trailer all day Sunday I didn't get a chance to look at it, and with a race weekend coming up I would prefer not to - can't...

Ok, so I'm sitting here playing those mind games you play when you need a break from the daily grind, and was thinking about what my next IT project might be. Since a real, competitive ITR car isn't going to fit the budget I've been thinking about looking for an ITB car. The fact that it is...

For those who don't patronize the other board: I'll let some of the participants fill in the details, but there were some excellent races yesterday and today at Summit. As seen from pit lane: First, our old friend and girlie car driver Rob Myles (aka wreckerboy) did the geezers proud...

Ok, I'm pretty sure I know, but just wanted to run it past our resident rules experts: any factory option that was available for the model/year car listed on the spec line is legal, unless it differs from something listed on the spec line (e.g. trans gear ratios, rotor diameter, etc), right...

...to run leak-down tests if the compression numbers look really good?

Registration is open - they're using DLB Racing for registration now, just look under North Carolina Region events. Already 20 cars registered in ITR/S/A/7/T3 with 3 weeks to go.

Has been announced - details here - no love for the regional racers this time around, only for the Pro Solo, Solo National, and Runoffs (limited classes) guys.

For those who may have missed it - Nissan has instituted "racer support" and contingency programs for 2010. Information on the programs is here; click on "2010 Racer Support" for program details, and there is also a link to the Nissan Motorsports catalog. Apparently the racer support program...

Has anyone ever asked for this car - '95-'98 Tercel - to be classed in ITC? Seems to me it would be a good fit - FWD, 93HP/100TQ, and with a curb weight around 2,000 it would probably make the ITC weight (~2200) with even a portly driver. Edit: oh, and I forgot to add the most important part...
