I would thus say that Mr. Plucker's summary above is legal. I will restate: Produce an alternate anti roll bar (ARB) that primarily serves as a good suspension location link. It has to have the stock mounting point but doesn't have to use an identical mount - just one in the same place in all...

So here's the relevant rules section: 1. Suspension control arms are unrestricted, provided the quantity of these items remains as stock. 2. Suspension bushings, bearings and ball joints are unrestricted. Tapered holes can be drilled or reamed, to allow a bolt to be used in place of a ball...

Wife had an '87 Thunderbird with sunroof and non height adjustable seat. I'm average height but have a very long torso. With sunroof open I could just barely see straight ahead over the top of the roof while seated. Suited my no-very-tall wife just fine. I didn't drive that car much.

Also Ken Slagle. Worth looking into but remember that the rules change and back then everything Prod was "full prep" with typically looser suspension allowances, and IMSA even looser I'd think. I can't remember what year it became legal in Prod to move pickup points - probably AFTER the TR8...

What Jeff is describing is the classic Ford McPherson strut suspension, which (for economy and simplicity) reduced the number of parts and unibody attachment points to an absolute minimum. The Ford Fiesta shared that design, which as noted uses the sway bar for fore-aft suspension control. (I...

Heck, I'll pay the domain fee. I don't have a Facebook account and don't plan to start now. Like some others, I'm still a Prod racer, just not a super active one. I run a few MARRS races each year - MARRS has a great HP group btw, we had 12 HP cars for Labor Day last year.

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...
