It was published as a part of a discussion on insurance that SCCA is paying $29.50 per car entered for race insurance. That includes national and regional events assuming minimums of 95 cars at a national and 55 at a regional. Or, about $2,800 minimum to insure a national event. Overall, they...

Latest design concept for the 2012 IRL cars backed by Chip Ganassi and Ben Bowlby (Lola's old chief designer).. WHAT This is NOT a joke! So far, nobody understand how it will turn based upon weight bias and downforce numbers talked about. More info...

So there I was, driving on I-5 and I-18 from Tacoma to Issaquah at about 3:30 PM in the pouring rain and 41 degrees outside. Yet, the freeways looked like a Friday night before a race weekend. One truck towing a trailer with an MGB in it and SOVREN/SCCA stickers on it. 2nd truck towing a...

Depending upon a decision under consideration by the SCCA's CRB, a 'study' may go on during the 2010 season evaluating a proposed SPEC TIRE for Formula Ford. The rule IF it goes through would effect the 2011 season. As ICSCC follows the SCCA FF rules, you might want to be aware of this and...

Yes, even if it's just a lapping day. If you have a problem with your car, DO NOT enter a HOT track in 'counter course' direction to return to the paddock. Just a reminder. I wouldn't bring this up at all cept for having to RED FLAG the track during Proformance's lapping day today due to...

Here I sit drinking coffee and it suddenly 'hits me' what's going on today... Dang! I wanted to be at some of those meetings.. :mad: Should-a put a sticky note on the computer screen.. :rolleyes:

Happened to be in the neighborhood today and pulled off in to Speedware. Be aware they are dismanteling the show room and moving that operation over with their prep shop. Avoid useless trip... be aware.

Yes folks, save up for that new harness. Remove your racing battery from the race car and FULLY charge it. Then, once a month put the charger back on it. You'll have a nice battery to start the 2010 season and some extra change toward that new harness :D Charging once a month is better for the...

A decision from the weekend SCCA board meeting: Minimum Driver Age The Board approved a proposal to lower the minimum age requirement for participation in Club Racing to 15 years old on a conditional basis. Drivers must have previous racing experience (ie. karts, midgets, etc.) and must be...

It happened this weekend and has had an extensive thread on Apexspeed about the 'need'. When we first went through Jeff's FC preparing it for the track, I was rather surprised to find the cell breather routed UP into the roll bar shroud with NO one way check valve in it. As I recall as far...

Steve, NOTHING I've tried has fixed this odd thing. EVERY time I come to the Forum, it shows that topics ORP Update, Apology and Fire Safety threads have NEW posts in them. They DO NOT plus, it shows that the NEW entry's were made TODAY (what ever day it is) and that they were made at times...

Curious thing happening since late yesterday. When I visit the Forum and view threads, the Forum normally 'resets' and shows that the topics have NO new posts when I come back. However, now, the same old posts that I've already read are showing as having new posts? Hmmm :confused: The other...

I know some drivers have registered for this event. You should be AWARE of this: http://www.apexspeed.com/forums/showthread.php?t=34933

NO, this is not a question of 'is the race on'. Ken, I was looking at the ORP web site and a quote.... "jersey barriers have been placed around the base of each elevated turn station' and there's a photo of one. Question: Are ALL of the turn stations elevated? Assuming a standard riser...

Having just had all the rivets fail that hold one side of our lower rear wing element on, it is a coincidence that I came across this video by Belling in his FB at Pacific from last year. Look at the BEATING that wing is taking in just 2 laps of Pacific...

Ed Scheid has put his 88SF Reynard on the market after just completing a total rebuild. It's a great car if you want wings and an EZ car to learn. Keep it in Conference!! http://www.apexspeed.com/forums/showthread.php?p=212056#post212056

Here's one TOTAL complete package to go open wheel racing. Formula Continental, closed trailer, complete tools package and big spares package located in California. It is a heck of a bargain. http://www.apexspeed.com/forums/showthread.php?t=32636 If you have all the other stuff, he is...

Sorta, but drivers will barely notice it. They added a drag strip cutoff road (BEAUTIFULLY PAVED) directly in front of the Turn 2 station. The perception looking back toward T1 is really gonna fool the workers. The 'illusion' is, you're now about 15 feet closer to the track! But it is an...

I went in search of info on Jim Hall and Hap Sharp running the Lister Chevy's "back in the day" and stumbled upon these old images from Kent. They were posted by a fellow calling himself Raceannouncer3. Worker photo looks like 3A and reminds us of what "watch my back" was/is all about. Anybody...
