Dunno about the Bundy car, but rumor has it that there may be as many as THREE HP 924s running at Summit Point next year!

Based on my VERY bad experience (sample of one) don't buy an electrically activated fire system. I had one in a Sports 2000 Lola and when it mattered most - nothing happened. It had a test LED that lit up that morning but did zilch when the big red button was pushed. Several times. :eek...

Certainly sounds that way to me.

I move that we declare the first inductee by acclamation. See picture for suggestion... :)

More positive spin: There are now 14 (!!!!!) HP cars registered for the Labor Day MARRS race. Marques include: MG VW Honda Toyota Mazda Porsche Mini

As a long time racer who has had more than one waiver along the way, I see no real harm in the online requirement. In fact it wouldn't be that bad an idea to require EVERYONE to do the training at least once every 5 years or so. If you don't believe me, ask 5 long time racers what the SCCA...

Mike - what system are you describing?

Why would the rulesmakers go to all the trouble of completely redefining and upending Prod when they could simply say "GTL cars are allowed to compete in FP"? Or "GTL cars sans wing are allowed to compete in FP"? I do think that the doomsaying and woe is me that seems to bubble up quite often...

Half serious suggestion: Use CIS or something similar where fuel is metered by pressure not pulsewidth and the flow is continuous. Another half serious thought - would it be legal within the rules to have the throttle body(s?) / injector(s?) external to a plenum that fed the manifold? You'd...

Umm - There's some bad information here along with some good. N95 masks have proven to be VERY effective at protecting the wearer from COVID infection, and they aren't hazardous to a healthy wearer. COVID viruses don't just float around as individual molecules, they degrade / die very quickly...

I had forgotten the wedge shaped trailer!

Hi Jason - We're interested depending on the schedule. Is that out yet? Might also be interested in putting in some sponsorship $$. Al Seim HP VW Scirocco 1.6 HP

Devil's advocate - if the cracking is just at the very top and is caused by the unthreaded major diameter running down into the threads exerting a bursting force at the surface, is it possible that it does not need to be repaired? Depends, I suppose, on how deep the threads go.

That's cool! I remember the car, Linda Sharp and Jim Fitzgerald from back in the day - and even sat next to her at Fitzgerald's SCCA Hall of Fame induction. Mike Unger is a long time historic Datsun racer and is now running a new build Honda S2000 in SCCA EP. Edit - I see that Mike posts here...

I don't know BMWs at all (unlike Mr Pettinato), but a few caveats: Prod is a lot more liberal than IT, but in very specific ways - some things aren't more liberal (aside from SPU!). Level 1 Prod is more liberal than Level 2. All the Z3s are Level 2. So read the Prod rule section of the GCR...

Hi Jimmy - If I understand correctly, the question is "does the spring rate change is a spacer is added to change the length?". No, a good race spring should have the same rate Or at least very close) at any compression.

Curmudgeonly warning re LEDs - there are LED bulbs out there that are quite bright viewed directly but that (presumably due to the spectrum emitted) are much dimmer when viewed through a red plastic lens. When we bought a used Focus SVT street car, I noticed that the tail lights (forget whether...

1. I agree that the ProdRacing site, for much of its life, was virtually unmoderated. That worked OK at times, and at times I think that it did a disservice to the Prod Racing community in that it was (at those times) considered by many to be a very toxic environment. I've been reading this...

Not sure if they still exist, but there used to be some local shops who relined shoes for industrial stuff, fork lifts, trucks etc. But I got mine from Porterfield.
