    Group 2 and 5 check-in: What's a definite, what's a maybe?

    -----*Categories updated 2/16----- I haven't talked to some of you much during the off season so I wanted to take this opportunity to find out who's joining us again in G2 and G5 and who's changing classes, cars or lifestyle? It would be nice to get a feel for what y'all are planning and...

    Special Race brainstorm

    First off let me say that those who have created and facilitated the special races in the past deserve a round of applause and the marketing/posters for the German and Japanese challenger were outstanding. Even though I didn't participate in the special event during the Spokane Triple I thought...

    ORP and some dorifto hoonigans.

    This is a fun Youtube Vid. I admire the filming the most and would like to do an ICSCC promotional video shot in a very similar fashion around one of our race weekends. Just have to figure out the logistics of it all... Have fun: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Te0V71sGoxA

    The everyman crapcan thread.

    It seems there was expanding Crapcan conversation with the IT-J thread and the Enduro thread that we need an official Chump/Lemons/Star Projects thread... a "crapcan" thread. I figure that Conference folks like to crapcan as well so hey, why not? Star Projects RAT RACE (I couldn't find a...

    New computer, got bored, made video.

    If you guys have any footage you want featured in my next venture in boredom then just send it my way. Heck if you have video ideas, send them my way. I didn't ask permission from anyone and used footage that isn't mine. If any of the footage in this is yours and you don't agree, I will...

    My favorite part of the season caught on camera... And what's yours?

    It was something more than winning a championship, more than doing my first enduro and more than beating Rick (I can't help myself dude). I had my first engine failure of the 2011 season during practice at Mission. The E Crew was very nice and very gentle in towing the car back (didn't even...

    HANS, SCCA and the recent SFI money grab. (Link to another forum)

    Not everyone here is a member of the Sandbox but this was interesting thread to read. I don't think there's any wonder why we've seen more #700 number drivers and we'll probably see an increase next year if SFI and SCCA keep going down this road. -Colin, who's not a fan of the SFI.

    I figured everyone who runs a 205/50/15 should see this ($69 R888's)

    I deliberately didn't post this in Buy/Sell since I'm not selling anything and I wanted the majority of people to see it. Order now because I bet they will run out very soon. http://www.onlinetires.com/products/vehicle/tires/toyo/205%252F50-15+toyo+proxes+r888+86w+bsw.html edit: I have no...

    Remember that girl who whooped everyone at the Karting Enduro?...

    Her name is Jessica Dana for those who don't know and she apparently has aspirations of whooping everyone in NASCAR as well. I have my alarm set to the radio and I woke up a news report of Washington's own Jessica Dana trying to get into Nationwide. In the interview with the news station she...

    Open Discussion involving Race starts

    It is my opinion that the start in G5 last weekend could have been done better and a discussion involving good starts can improve the racing experience for everyone. I also think there is some wording that may need to change in rule E/C 709 after what happened. Here's what it looked like...

    The video HOW-TO for the simplified man

    Subject 1: Formats Video Formats are essentially "Containers" in which the audio and video are stuff into. Sometimes the Audio and Video file in the container are separate, other times they're not. These "containers" are essentially the "video format". There are many formats for videos...

    Why FWD? Cuz you can burnish your brakes in the air!

    Since most members here don't visit the Sandbox I'd figure I'd post this here. Air Bedding! http://www.vimeo.com/25952814 For reference, this is the second "session" of that day and my camera battery died before it was over, which is too bad because you don't get hear the girlfriend yell out...

    The Long Tow: Thought about tires lately?

    Ok, Y'all have been towing longer than I have but I obsess about things. When I began towing I noticed the difference between trailer tires and normal tires: Trailer tires max PSI are listed for COLD inflation, however normal tires are not. So with the tires on my Van rated at Max load @ 51...

    Bedding Pads? ST43?

    I've been running the Cobalt XR1's for a long time as they are my version of a "miracle pad". Smooth sexy braking, and they go deep every corner of every lap without giving up. Best part, just put them on and go. Bedding in brakes is completely foreign to me. However, everyone says that the...

    Action Auto

    I can't believe I've never heard of these guys. Apparently they have 4 locations and the owner has owned it since the 1960's.. Oh yea, he's a car guy. This place is great! They have Wilwood 570 and ATE superblue, all the amsoil and redline brands (even the european formula) and they actually...

    See Honda, you ARE doing it wrong! :rant:

    There's 23 entries in NCW this coming weekend and not a single Honda/Acura among them.... Heck, all season long we've had huge NCW grids (well, ORP was a little sparse for NCW) and not a single Honda?! (Penick's Acura doesn't count) Sure, we get made fun of all day long for being FWD but who...
