  1. I believe SCCA allows the Spec Mazda hardtop, but I don't interpret the SCCA for WSSC. I will say I've been to a time attack event where a Miata with OEM hardtop was racing. I drive a Solstice with a rollbar, sometimes.
  2. Hi all that attended AutoX three. I want to apologize for the fuel leak and creating a safety risk. I fully appreciate and respect the decision to shut me down. I did smell fuel and had been checking my car out but it was evaporating and I couldn't source the leak. I so appreciate the spotting of the leak at my parking spot. It turned out to be a frayed line at the point where it bends and runs down the firewall. I think there may have been a firewall rub that wore through. I connected with the orginal builder (Chuck Mallet) who said it had never happened before, to his knowledge. Anyways, always a first and I am sorry for the incident.The new line will include a sparkplug boot over that area of the line. Safety first!
  3. Hi all, thought I'd share some dashcam footage from yesterday's track day. So much fun! Thanks to all the volunteers and the other drivers for a great day! "Kliener Schlingel" (Little Rascal - GolfR) ran well and was in her glory. Love the track improvements. Should be a great season! P.S. Ignore the date stamp...camera setting was off. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1lFAgAr3-rm9BvpH-3CPvEpC4b8b33EBc?usp=drive_link
  4. Hi there, since track days are non-competition is it possible to bring a friend for passenger seat ride alongs? I have my TA License.
  5. OK, thanks. Running on PC is no good for me.
  6. What software is this track on? I use Gran Tourismo for PS5. Never heard of Gimli being available on it.
  7. Hi, Always confused about this. Is it correct that I don't register with WCMA for a racing number if all I'm doing is TA and Autocross? Also, is the number reservation seperate for TA and Autocross? Finally, is the number reservation for TA and Autocross open and how do I do that?
  8. I'm a rookie who doesn't really understand classing, PAX, PIP, etc., and frankly doesn't really care. I compete against myself and enjoy as many cars on the track as possible, when I TA. But I'm in favour of access and participation so, as I understand this, the 13 class system may be best for that. I'd be happy with a really simple to understand 3-class Extreme for everybody...perhaps based only the horsepower to weight PIP. I know there's tons of other technical things to consider but I'm not into it and never will be. Just want to mash my pedal in a safe, sporting and fun way. Thanks for engaging in the discussion, appreciate everything the volunteers do. Cheers.
  9. Fantastic, thanks to all involved with this project! Can't wait to try it out. Maybe I will start a savings fund for WSCC contributions...everytime I buy new race tires, 10% of the cost gets set aside for a donation to future track upgrades because it all comes back to me in tread wear savings .
  10. Thanks for the update, glad you will be back in action!
  11. Hi folks, just wondering about update on the crash at TA Event 4 between the Lotus and Subaru (?..I think)? How is the recovery going with the cars? Always sad to see damage on the track, but so glad there were no injuries.
  12. It seems I drive slow cars slow (Solstice 2.4L) and fast cars slow (Golf R, LS2 Solstice) . Anyways, totally agree with your point. I really get a rush from big torque but driving is the real factor. The fellow with the white Porsche at autocross last weekend, wow, that was a combination of everything in perfect balance. It was poetic watching him.
  13. Slipping clutch toasted my results.
