The time has come to part ways with my trusted steed. 1987 Mazda RX 7 Sport, 1.3L NA Rotary engine, 5 Speed with Limited Slip Rear end, converted to 5 Lug “Hard” Suspension with 4 piston front brakes. 3rd owner, car originally from MD. Well sorted/balanced track car, 133k miles on chassis, interior ...

I guess it depends on what is "local" for you. The only place I know here in eastern MA is HMS Motorsports in Danvers.

I'm thinking a test n tune day with just licensed drivers to start when ever we can get back on a track would be a good way to try out any new procedures. Drivers meetings we sometimes meet outdoors now, so just spread out at little more? could be challenging at venues with poor PAs . Tech; stay in ...

Our thoughts and prayers are with you both. If anyone can beat cancer's butt it will be Laura. Hang tough and know that there are many people in your extended family sending lots of love.

I'll second what Bob said, car trailers usually are set up a little better to secure the car. A utility trailer may not have brakes which is important when hauling a heavy load. The other issue with a utility trailer may be the ability to open the door of the car. Typically utility trailers have a r...

That was fun. I tried 5 times most times I was in the 25-33 range but pulled off a not human 184ms once. Too bad most of the people we share the roads with probably have the reaction time of a 90 year old.

Will Hot Lap Ride Alongs be offered at this event?

Thanks Dave, I will order my belts accordingly.

I have a driver's seat with provisions for a 6 point harness but my passenger seat is only set up for a 5 point harness. Can I run 6 point driver side harness and 5 point harness on the passenger side? I do occasionally ask for an instructor to ride with me.

This is a hoot, definitely would freak me out if I saw it coming down the road.

In as much I would like more track time, the three hot laps is a special kind of competition. Like others have said you have to be ready/on for your three laps. I have run in another format where you are on the clock all day long. The traffic is always there but it is about the same for everyone and...

I co drove with licensed/student at one event this summer and it was a bit of a challenge. Ideally you will want to run different tires especially if you are ready for R comps so that means tire swaps between sessions. We lucked out that most of the time we had a session between our run groups but e...

I'll start.... https://youtu.be/5RQirsdwy4k Just after the crash I thought I had come in too hot and power-slid off the track. Upon review of the video, the rear end steps out and I didn't react quick enough to save it. In looking at previous passes through this corner, RPM's and speed seem similar....
