Re: So I was thinking of getting into Autocross
hey, it's cool that you're looking into autocross. i came in 60th at a national competition in 2007. first i would verify that you won't void your insurance policy. it's possible that if they got wind of you autocrossing, they might deny any claim, even if it stemmed from something unrelated to auto...

threw a rod with 5 to go
It's a long video. You can fastforward to the last five minutes if you want to see it blow. I had a 10 car lead with 5 to go. It was a 75 lap race riddled with cautions. I knew my car was fast, but I knew I had to conserve tires. I wasn't worried about getting passed early on, just so long as I coul...

Re: Did I strip the oil pan bolt?
I'm a stickler when it comes to rules. So I always use a torque wrench. But that doesn't always prevent you from stripping the bolt. I know this because I broke the head off of a bolt using a torque wrench. While the torque wrench was partly to blame, because it never clicked, the idiot using it was...

Re: race3
We checked the tire, the tread had a large puncture in the middle of its surface. Once inflated, it quickly began to lose air. Looks like I did not crash into the car above me on the restart after all, at least not as a result of driver error? I am on my way to a flatter track next weekend, slightly...
