Re: Laguna Seca practice for FV's only this December

Kim, This is a fantastic idea, but I have just one suggestion.... well.. maybe more... Can you move the track a little closer to the EAST side of the country (like EAST of the MISSISSIPPI) ?? And make fuel a LOT less expensive?? And provide 'concierge service' along the route from Atlanta to Califo...

Re: Goodbye National Racing

As Ian said on the Left Coast board:

"OK, I've read it twice and I think I get it. We've had a two tiered system for decades but at the end of 2013 the scca will to totally revamp the system and move to a two-tiered system. Have I got it right?"

Looking at the pictures, it looks like the front of the covers is beyond the front of the axle beam. But it hard to say.

You will not find a cleaner Vee.
Its true I am normally looking at the tailpipe. But normally in my mirrors when you are going around backwards behind me.

Re: Goodyear tires

F500 racers have been in the same boat with just Hoosiers for several years now. Shoot does this mean we will lose all awareness of other cars on the track, take two laps to get up to speed, only have that speed on straights and throw an anchor out in turns and basically get in the way of any good ...

Re: Rough ride for Skip Streets this past weekend

Ouch.. Is he OK? Pretty close racing there, did he touch wheels on the front straight when he pulled out from the draft? He's fine it sounds. Looks to me like Coley Tipton missed a shift and they did touch coming on to the main straight. Also, you can see from my dad's cam that it looks like Skip g...

Re: Class getting younger?

Just thought I would post this for kicks. At the Portland 4th of July Double National, the podium on Saturday (Race 1) had an average age of 33. Probably the youngest seen in this area in 20 years! (The old timers didn't think that was nearly as funny as I did) $hit! I was the oldest one of the gro...

Re: well attended races in California..

Go to the site Leroy pointed you to. Also, keep in mind that if you run a regional instead of a national, you will deal with a large field of club fords. They will cause you serious headaches and, when they inevitably go off the track at Laguna, you will spend the rest of the race behind a pace car....

FV Drivers: But manifolds are already on probation.

Hopefully there are some Animal House fans here. Thanks, SCCA. NO reason to let us know... :roll:

Re: Runoffs race link that will work for Mac

Also, works fine on my Mac. It would, however, be nice to be able to slow down, skip ahead, pause, etc. Cant do that with the way it is set up now.
