Texas Region has opened registration for the SOWDiv end of 2015 (Sat double points) and first race of 2016 (Sun). Four HP cars already entered and I'm giving Eric Yagel a free ride in my Civic to make it five. Eric and Sydney Davis are getting married Friday. So, happy wedding present Eric...

Anyone with any experience with the above transmission? I'm thinking about putting one in one of my vintage cars. James -r

I uploaded my Q1 video from today to Utube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Sre7m-yCb0 Let you guys see what the track looks like since we'll probably run there in 2015. My 1965 K-Code Mustang. I'm driving the Pro/Am tomorrow with Rocky Moran. He's almost as big as me, which is surprising...

Anyone going to be there? I'll be there tomorrow for the Track Owners/Managers meeting Wednesday. Have a follow up meeting Thursday at 5 PM. Rest of the time I'm trolling. James Rogerson

In order to gain larger fields and reduced entry fees, I'm proposing the SCCA open up all our regional races to non members and their "home organization" car class. They get no tech other than safety and they aren't eligible for any points in the region or division. The Vintage guys tack on an...

I have a friend in Canada that is looking to purchase a car from Wire Wheels. Anyone ever do business with them? Good or bad results? You can send me an eMail if you'd prefer. james-at-msrhouston-dot-com Thanks, james

Our friend Alex has been in and out of the hospital now for the last couple of months. We thought things were getting better, but today he took a sharp turn for the worse. They put him on dialysis and got things going again, but he's in ICU. Spin the prayer drum a little harder tonight...

Got call and eMail concerning sale/purchase of Mid-America Motorplex. Not for me. I'm already in as deep as I want to be and I've done systems consulting in Omaha in February more than once. I don't own a coat and I'm not buying one. Anyone looking to join the track ownership club let me...

My experience with different sanctioning bodies begs me to pose this series of race propositions: 1) One Steward everyone has to answer to for all on track behavior. a) Spin, four wheels off, or heaven forbid have any sort of contact with others or fixed objects go see the steward...

David Koller's STU car is in the shop (Solstice) and the top row of the inter-cooler is ballooned up like crazy. It's as if the thing was stopped up. Anyone seen this type of behavior? James Rogerson

This is the Sunday race with drying track. It didn't really rain, but the track was green and slick. MSR Houston HP track record race. James

Saturday Qualifying was perfect. Then it rained. Indy and Indy Lights have been running for three weeks and the track was pretty tacky. I ran HP and then left the Honda at Black Flag and got into the FF for that race. Both in the rain on slicks Saturday. Not a lot of fun, but young Andrew...

My tin can Civic is forever getting crap flying in the passenger side window. Last time I ran the car I got junk all inside from that side (Yes Matt it was when I went off in 8 at Mid-Ohio). Is there a consensus on legality or should I say illegality. :lol: I know I can put the one just to...
