I have garage space in Woodinville. There are usually a couple of PRO3 cars in residence in the offseason. Give me a call at two-oh-six seven-one-three three-three-four-five.

The focus is for race volunteers to get together and discuss things related to their respective roles and specialties - registrars, flagging, race chairs, timing and scoring, stewards, etc, etc. But drivers should feel free to attend as well. Learning more about what it takes to put on a race...

I have 100% confidence that it was not directed at you Wes.

From section 302.G of the Competition Regs: "... Any holder of an IRR license who has not raced for two or more seasons may be required to compete in an Observation race at the discretion of the License Director. Further, any IRR license holder who has not raced for three or more seasons may...

All good points Bruce. Let me add a couple of considerations: Physical distancing is harder in a turn station or timing and scoring or a safety truck or in race control than in the paddock or in the cockpit of a race car. But perhaps not impossible. Our volunteers, many of them in the more...

This rig has been a fixture at Conference races for the last 5 years, and now it's time to pass it on to the next racer. I bought both the truck and camper new in late 2010 - its maiden voyage was a trip to the 25 Hour that year. I wanted a rig that would be comfortable for 1 or 2 people for a...

For all of you who prefer not to run your race cars (or even weed whackers) on corn juice, the pure-gas.org guys now have a free Android app. It's primitive but it lists stations in order of proximity to the phone and integrates with navigation so you can find them. Didn't see anything about...

Robert Fleming, occasional PRO3 driver and purveyor of vinyl graphics, has offered free (that's $0.00) driver name vinyl for Enduro teams. In return he asks that you stick a 3" round decal with his business name on your car. Free shipping too. I plan to sign up, although Robert might...

I was talking to Fred Wright yesterday and he mentioned that he has 3 registrations in the OW run group at the 4/1 lapping event. I'm in no way scolding the OW community, but with numbers that low this is likely to be a 1-time thing.

Camera: I picked up a Contour Roam camcorder a couple of weeks ago. Don't remember the exact price, but it was under $200. It doesn't come with a micro SD card though - that's a separate purchase. I got to use it a little bit at The Ridge last weekend and the quality is fantastic at 1080p...

Anybody know if there's a gate charge to get into the Roll-X race as a spectator at PR this weekend?
