    Safety at the Rose City Opener

    Last year at the Rose City Opener we had lots of people do some strange and dangerous stuff on Saturday and this resulted in the veins in Gary Bockman's head coming close to the brink of exploding during the drivers meeting, not mention the corners workers that felt unsafe doing their jobs...

    Recommend a good frame/unibody shop?

    I had a big off last year at ORP and the car saw another off during practice at the enduro. I'd like to see if it's all straight. I also have some things I need bent back into shape that I'm uncomfortable doing myself. As always, please and thank you.

    Cost of Racing... I need your help Eric!

    I didn't want to hi-jack the HANS thread any further so I decided to start a new thread: I use all the costs associated with racing in the equation. With that being said do you still come to the same number? If so, I could use your help. Between food, lodging, towing costs and fuel... then...

    Old Video but always worth watching again

    1980's DTM... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gw-AxiVqihM I think with a few well placed video cameras inside and outside of the cars and someone with the free time on their hands, the PRO3 field could make a video of themselves that could look a lot like this.
