haha yeah... and okay am i reading this right...

on page 109 of the SCCA rule book section C sub-section 4. it talks about Turbos. is it telling me i cant upgrade my turbo?

and then on page 114 in section Z it says Camshaft has to remain standard so i cant put in a diff cam with a bigger profile?

Any other scca members get Sportscar (scca's magazine)?

It has a great 36 page feature on the Solo National Championship from Topeka.

Gives a full demo on all the variety of classes in the SCCA. I would recommend anyone to look through just to see what is available.

Any questions just ask. Do you already have a car you are building? Road racing or autocross? There is a Chin Motorsports track day at Road Atlanta November 28-29, Chin is kind of a more hardcore track day group but I will be there and another in this thread I can talk to you. First event in 2009 should be in Feb. or early March for Road Atlanta, and there will be a PDX session which is great to get your feet wet.

The first event at road atlanta for SCCA is Febuary for the 6 hour enduro.

The other events will have PDX's. I have some of the events posted on my site www.divemotorwerks.com

says the kid who has never done one... WTF why am I even responding.
:rolleyes:.... Why would I ever try and win an HPDE? I dare you to come to an HPDE and try and win. I'd love to see K childress throw you out.
Who cares about winning when your trying to enjoy the art of driving and the power of automobiles you love is in your hands...

I know you can read, for the most part, so i'll show you for the 2nd time..

Flat no flat, i'm on the track having fun.... When's the last time you were on a real track? Go ahead, keep lieing to everyone.

that is...all that matters.

Anyhow. Just got more PM's. This is great. There will be a total of 3 hours of track time per person, per day. So I can def accomodate many of ya'll if you want rides, no worries. We will also have 3 other full time track cars for rides as well, but we will have family and friends there getting rides too. These cars do have full cages, unlike my car if that makes you feel safer. All cars have 5 point harnesses. Looking forward to meeting all of yall

It's not quite a ten hour. It's an eight hour. And, yes, in two weeks-ish, we'll be at Road Atlanta for our season ender. Should be a great event, and I'm really looking forward to it. The enduro will happen on Friday, then our regular HPDE and racing programs on Saturday and Sunday.

Our first event for 2009 will be at Carolina Motorsports Park in February, iirc.
