Yes, the Glen National is not a double. Yes, the Bonus group FF-FV-F500 gets two races at this event. The Bonus National idea was tried at two events in 2011 and were reasonably successful. This year, all the groups get a bonus race at some NEDIV National. SRF at NJMP in June, EP FP HP GTL STU and S...

Fastrack publication on the SCCA web site is normally on or about the 20th of each month. Henceforth, the Club Racing Board Minutes and the Club Racing Technical Bulletin will be posted in preliminary form as early as possible and usually no later than the 13th of the month. These documents will be ...

Before you write off the published speed trap times, check some information from your data systems against this: the total track length is 4.04828 miles. That is 21374.9184 feet. If your data system is reporting anything significantly different, then anything it reports with regard to speed will be ...

From the map I was given showing the timing loops and the distances between them, I had estimated that the first of the loops for the trap was about 750-1000 feet from the apex at T5. Since then, someone who seems to actually know where they are located, posted on another forum that the first trap l...

Seems kind of complicated. What is wrong with X finishes, Y starts in division, top z positions in division points, with atleast W points. ... Nothing .. it worked quite well for YEARS. But THAT wasn't offered as an option by the CRB in this FT. Feel free to propose your (retro) alternative. SD Jus...

As a Runoffs Rookie -and more to the point here, a Road America Rookie - you should be aware that there is a Rookie Mentoring Program that is intended to introduce newcomers to RA. It is run by experienced drivers (Jim Dentici is the head honcho for this) who give advice about the facilities, the tr...

I got an extra frame with a Zink I bought and have had no luck identifying who made it. The car was raced in the SE at some time but without a rollbar stamp, there is no way to identify it. It looks like the rollbar was updated and was never restamped. The frame is a modern design (versus a 30 year...

In the July Fastrack, released today, the proposed manifold rules for FV have been published. Whether you are in favor of the proposed rules or not, please make your opinions known via the CRB letter submission form at crbscca.com

The rocket fuels could pass the DC test at the track, but never the full $250 lab test. Brian I agree, but now the onus is on the racer since no region is going to pop for $250 to test fuel. The only way a fuel "cheater" will be caught is by protest from another driver. You can bet that t...

I expect that there is confusion because the average person, racer or otherwise, has no idea what the DC level of any fuel is. Certainly, some general guidance would be appropriate. Maybe we could figure this out as a group ... rather than 500 separate racers with a rulebook in hand. DC of unleaded...

I don't know why there is any confusion. The current (2010) rules are that any class (except SSB/SSC) may run any gasoline that meets the DC (<15) and prohibited substances restrictions. It is that simple. As for ethanol attacking some fuel cells, yes that can be a concern. If you aren't sure about ...

I am somewhat out of the loop here and am wondering whether standard unleaded pump gas is now legal, and if so, is it advisable to run it in our engines. Yes, you may choose any fuel that does not exceed the allowed dielectric constant and that does not contain any of the prohibited substances (in ...

Because this list is for manufacturers who are approved to make cells for SCCA but who have not gone through either FIA or SFI approval. See GCR 9.3.27.

The first manufacturer has been put on the SCCA list of alternative fuel cell suppliers. You can see the official list at http://www.scca.com/documents/Club%20Forms/2010%20Tech%20Forms/Approved%20Fuel%20Cell%20Suppliers.pdf. Eagle really only deals with bladders and not containers. For formula and s...

... I don't know exactly where the AIM beacon was, but it was pretty close to SF as best I can tell. At about 125 ft. past SF, ... The data was captured using the timing loops at S/F and 120 feet after S/F. The results are very accurate because they use the on board transponders. At RA, there are a...

But, is there any LEADED gas with less than 110 octane available? There are some, but rarely are they available at a track. VP has several, but you would have to get them from a VP distributor and bring it with you. However, starting January 1, 2010, you will no longer be required to use leaded fue...

Kevin's response was an error. He mistakenly thought the notes were referring to dry sumps, not sump extensions. Please continue to submit input on the sump extension proposal.

Until it rains.
