Sorry to read this. I knew Bill from auto crossing back in my college days and then caught up with him again when he started road racing. It was always a pleasure to talk with him.

Do SCCA licensed drivers need to obtain a license from your group?
The first 3 numbers of the log book number identify the SCCA Region that issued the logbook and assigned the number to the frame. In this case 026 refers to SCCA Region 26 which is the Northern New...
That is a wonderful iconic car.
The RF-85/86 has different rear rockers for running slicks and treaded tires. The US rockers (slicks) have a flatter angle than the UK (treaded) ones in order to keep the shock end of the rocker in...
That is interesting. What is the thought behind not allowing rain tires? Slicks don't work well in the rain and switching to Dunlops or Avons from slicks would require some time consuming suspension...

Survey Submitted. Good luck. Go Hokies!

Glenn celebrates his win.
I always felt the Z-10 looked like a McLaren M23 without wings.
Rent a SRF for a weekend and see what you think. I raced FF for years but needed to go back to driver's school this Spring after a 10 year break. The SRF I rented from John Haggerman was fun to...
I remember seeing that Theodore at EMRA events at Summit Point.
Does the F1K have a solid axle or am I missing something in the photos? I can't see that beng competitive with FB cars if it's a solid axle rear suspension.
Regarding the suggestion to change to inline 4 motors only aren't there a couple of RC-51 (V twin) powered cars already out there? Seems unfair to make them illegal. I was looking forward to see how...
First use of carbon brakes in an F1 race was Rolf Stommelen in a Brabham at the Nuburgring in 76. He finished 6th. They weren't like today's carbon rotors. The rotors were steel and had been...
It is best to register in advance but you won't get passes for yourself, crew and vehicle until you get to the track and go through registration. Your crew will have to go through resistration also...
