Found this old pic of the first lap of the 92 HP Runoffs. In the picture in order is Bartell, Hussey, Yergler, Stone, Clemenson?, Canfield, Oleson, Feeval?, Purgeson.

Available - (4) Four Hoosier Radial 215/530 R13 S80 Radial slicks with (currently 5 but will have) 6 heat cycles when removed. Plenty of rubber left. $300 OBO available at Homestead or Sebring Major or will ship at buyers expense.

Caution - Long Post At Sebring this weekend my first run with a new radiator had no issues with temps and everything was normal with water around 185 to 190. My second run had normal temps for most of the run but towards the end it got hot and boiled over. I couldn't find anything wrong other...

How about a decent race report for the Rose Cup race. I have been on Race Monitor and MyLaps now and can't figure out what happened. Jason Isley isn't listed. Parker Johnstone did one lap of the race both days. Jamie Bestwick is in an H car again. What is going on? I have never seen such...

Boy, do I hate to have to write letters to try to get adjustments in our class. I wish the CRB would be more proactive in making adjustments, but they probably feel good about the parity in H because the lap times are not too far off. But that is only part of the story, and the LBC’s really...

Absolutely interminable line waiting to get in. Haven't moved in half an hour. Did anyone think this through? Sorry but a little antsy after 9 days on the road and nothing else to do but complain. Finally got in after 4 hours and have a nice spot so I'll shut up.

Looking for help with a ride to the track for a crew member on Saturday Oct 4th. He gets in to San Jose airport at around 6:00 pm. I've also posted it on the ride share forum.

I use a Fluidyne Scirocco type radiator and was told that it can't be re-cored, so I need to replace it. Their price is $299. The Fluidyne was a good piece, but does anyone have any good experiences with other radiators of this type for about the same price or maybe even less?

As some of you know I had an unfortunate meeting weith the wall at the Runoffs. The front valance looks to be unfixable and I will need new headlight trim rings and light holders. Any help would be appreciated.

Maybe it is time to take another bite of the apple on this rod issue. Keith blames the CRB for messing this up and not allowing aftermarket rods, but in fact IIRC they put the question out to the membership and got around a 50/50 response that weighed slightly on the side of not allowing the...

Wets - (4) 20.5 x 7.0 R13 F2000 Front Radial Rains One race (win - they work good) and a few laps on the monsoon at M.O. Available at Road America or pay shipping. $350 OBO

Yes, there actually was a Lime Rock National, or at least there was supposed to be. In fact I was supposed to be there, but for a last minute "issue". The results are not listed in NESCCA or the points standings. Does anyone have a link to the results, and does anyone else find Mylaps to be...

This post is difficult for me because it sounds like sour grapes, but I think it is time to make a push to bring back G Production. We all know that the reason it went away was bogus, and now with combined class races at the Runoffs and no 2.5 rule, they could easily bring back G and find a...

For anyone who might be aware of my oil pressure issues over the last year or so, including the Runoffs, I found something that is worth sharing with those that may not know this. I use an external oil pump and a specially designed pan on my Spridget because with the stock pump and even a...
