Re: Possible to change User ID?

I wonder why Kevin needs to change the Kartgraphix when he already has another account under his name Because I moved to a new computer and lost the passwords. I asked to have it renewed/resent, they re-activated Kartgraphix, and not my name identity. Now any time I attempt to log on to the other, ...

Re: Low turnouts

...I am one of those interested but have left. Now you have a fairly negative post saying that the grass isn't greener... I would love to see it flourish again, but I don't see anything changing to make it so. I am not selling my car hoping that I can get back in for some of the reasons I did in th...

Re: Low turnouts

Driving events are never run by the track, they are always run by another club, like BMWCCA, SCCA, NASA, ASA, AS, POC, PCA, some vintage group, regional club like the MWCSCC, race schools, or a few barely for profit organization (these come and go like the weather, as there is rarely "profit&qu...

Re: Low turnouts

I started doing track days ... While not a competition you get tons of track time... My first move into motorsports was BMW CCA, Road One, and other track days in various cars. It'ts fun, and yes, you get a load of track time for less. It's also a lot less stressful for equipment work, since goign ...

Re: June Sprints

I can tell you what it all looked like from the other end, but you wouldn't be able to read it from the tears in your eyes (some from sympathy, most from laughter.) I could not have screwed this pooch any worse had I actually tried, wearing a clown suit with big floppy shoes. Wasted the test session...

Re: Low turnouts

In my opinion, racing for $$ is a bad idea, especially in formula cars at the club level. Every time I have been involved in a $$ race a couple of drivers turn into idiots and start taking to many risks, eventually taking themselves along with other drivers out of the race. I built circle track mot...

Re: Low turnouts

Geez :roll: What a downer/depressing thread. Take a look at member numbers in the various classes - I mean the member's SCCA number. Since they are sequential, it's easy to see where newcomers to the sport are going. Look at Cendiv Points standings over the last 2 seasons... I have the highest memb...

Re: Low turnouts

Another thing making Vintage popular is that it de-emphasizes competition for championship standings, which relieves some of the feeling of failure, and lessons the stress of the whole effort. We've looked at vintage classes from sports cars to formula, and everyone we talk to about it comment that ...

Re: Low turnouts

I've spent a lot of time and canvassed a boat load of "X" drivers on this topic. The problems are just not as simple as making racing a little less expensive or some other superficial issue easily addressed. The reality is, motorsport has evolved, while life as we know it has become more c...

Re: Carb Air Scoop?

Several years ago, I took a 90degree exhaust pipe and adapted it to the carb top, and over the top of the roll bar. Direct ram air. ... Also having an air filter presented a problem. I opted for having an air filter v a ram induction. ... never saw anymore RPM or change in lap times... Gaining a ra...
