    rabbit gti and tires

    Can I use full tread Toyo's for DE and novice schools? I'm looking to keep my costs down, so I'm trying to avoid buying a set of drys and a set of wets. I want to get away with 6 tires this year. Since Dave questioned the ability of full treads holding up at Lime Rock, I'll add that I'll mostly...

    Ever use a Chevrolet Caprice as your tow vehicle?

    This just made me crack up: http://www.autoblog.com/2007/02/09/beater-...police-package/ It can even do some autoxing.

    The story of the runaway tire

    So last night dave was attempting to help me bring a couple of tires from his house to my car. Well, someone (not me) decided to roll one of the tires out the door. You can guess what happened next; Dave lost a grip on the tire and it started to roll down his yard. We just stood there in the...

    Rabbit GTI engine hiccup

    I'm looking for some info on why my 84 GTI seems to hiccup when accerating between 1000-2000 rpms. Past 2000 it's smooth sailing. I did find an old thread about a similar (if not the same) issue being fixed by changing the fuel filter. I'm going to try and change that this week, and try some...

    your new "competition" for next year

    Hello, Quick intro. Dave Gran's coworker for the past couple of years. Got me into AutoX. Then I got out to Lime Rock last November, and was hooked. Had to race. Got a side tracked earlier in the year; hawaii; needed to stop renting and buy a condo; girl; you know the usually life things. Then...

    driving a racecar on the street

    After soliciting comments on tow vehicles, I'm now looking for thoughts on just driving the car to the track; at least for this year. I live 50 miles from Lime Rock, but I'm going to try and get to driving school at NHIS in April. The latter is about 3hrs from me. I may have stock suspension...

    what to look for in a cheap tow vehicle

    According to Dave Gran, I'm going to need my own tow vehicle. Apparently I can't convince him to get a 2 car trailer. Something about being in love with his tow dolly, or some other such nonsense. Also, I decided against using AAA to tow my car to and from the track. I figure I can get away with...

    MK3 Jetta suspension options?

    I'm starting my research for the suspension setup in my MK3 Jetta. Mostly just looking for some manufacturers and the good/bad of each of their offerings. I know a few names, but assume I know nothing. Any comments are appreciated.

    Any interested in a video or web hosting service?

    I need some way to defer the costs of this new found hobby, so I've been thinking about doing a bit of video side work next year. What I'm imagine is that I capture the video from your camera at the track, then take it home. Create a DVD playable in a normal DVD player, with all the fancy menus...

    legal question

    Newbie here. As someone who has just been introduced to IT racing, and starting to take baby steps to becoming an IT racer, I've been thinking about something. Legally speaking, can racers be sued by other racers? Whether it be for car damages or actually bodily harm. I'm under the impression...
