I did the Lucas school at PBIR in the fall. It had it's plusses and minuses, like everything else. Expensive, but on the less expensive end of the professional schools. Fun, well prepped cars,...

For those of you who couldn't make the last race of the season, you missed great fall weather and lots of on-track action. Decent but not great fields, I think we had 14 or 15 CFs/FFs, and another 4...

It's a bit lonely out here in the camping area behind the paddock. Either I must be the most low budget racer in the club or the rest of you are smart enough to not tent with a forecasted temp of...

Gregg - Sorry to hear about your dad. Hopefully, we'll see you out next year. If the FC group grows at the same rate as this year, next year should be even better for the wings group.

Five days away and a great fall forecast. Sunny both days with high of mid-60s on Saturday and mid-70s on Sunday. I finished putting everything back together this weekend after working on the setup...

Since no-one has started a thread for the last race, I figured I'd start one.

The last race of the year for the FRCCA is at Summit Point on the main track on October 13 /14. We are sharing the...

For those of you who might have stayed at home due to the weather forecast, you missed a great weekend of racing. Weather on Saturday was warm, and windy, and Sunday was picture perfect blue skies,...

The schedule for this weekends race at NJMP has been posted on EMRA's web-site. Looks like 4 sessions each for FV/CFs/FFs group and the winged group on Saturday. Then on Sunday, we are all together...

Greg - Agreed, and well said. Defining ones goals, expectations, budget, etc. will certainly play a large part in what series / car makes sense for an individual.

Maybe in 15-20 years when I...

Okay, I'm very very new to racing, but I hear that a lot, and I don't quite get it. I guess it depends upon what you want to get out of racing. I have had some of my best on-track "racing" with my...

Can't speak specifically for the MK8, but on my MK9, Scotty at Taylor was a big help. He'll even email you a drawing for you to take some measurements which will help him calculate the correct size...

I struggled with my new ReplayXD 1080 on Saturday, so no videos from that day. I did get video of all 4 sessions on Sunday. I'm still learning the quirks of the camera system, so I lost the last 2...

In case you haven't looked at IMGs list of participants yet, someone (the team owner apparently) is bringing an Audi R8 LMS Grand Am race car to run in their sprint races this weekend. At 500+ hp,...

Yes, my whole clan is coming. This should be an interesting experience, as this will be the longest time we have all been together in one place since my brother went to Marine Corp boot camp, a...

This should have both the daily cost and the weekend cost info in it.

Race 5 (Saturday July 14) and Race 6 (Sunday July 15) schedules have been posted on IMGs website. The FRCCA generally partners with someone, WKC, EMRA, IMG, etc with track rental. IMG is the host...

Cool videos, particularly enjoyed the audio on the standing start one :thumbsup:

Hopefully, we'll see the car at an upcoming FRCCA event, I'd enjoy taking a closer look at it.

Unsure if your question is in relation to the FRCCA or the ISCCC, but all the FRCCA info can be found on their web-site:

It's all about perspective, as a rookie driver, I am more "comfortable" at a track with run-off room. It has nothing to do with looking at the apex or not looking at the apex or the proper or...

Forgot to mention that I started trying to upshift with-out the clutch, the 2-3, and 3-4 (albeit I didn't use 4th much at that track) went okay, the 1-2 didn't seem to work-out quite as well for me,...

Thanks for the replies, and input. That was my 5th full weekend of racing, so I'm still very much a rookie. Of the tracks the FRCCA runs that's probably my least favorite, although some of the more...

I posted some videos from this race weekend up on Youtube. Note that these are from the back (the very back) of the pack, so some of them are a bit sparse in competition after the first few laps. ...

The actual results and all the timing sheets are now up (wow, I'm not last in points:thumbsup:):

Here are the very very unofficial results from this weekends races at the first FRCCA race weekend of the year. We were at Summit Point Raceway on their Shenandoah Track, running Saturday CCW, and...

Randall - No admission cost. Just tell the gate you are with the FRCCA and they will have you sign a waiver. We are sharing the track with the WKC (a kart club) so don't be surprised when you come...

It looks like it should be an interesting and very busy weekend for the first two races of the season on May 5/6 at Shenandoah at Summit Point, WV. It's an interesting track for those who have never...

Fred,

That's probably a question best officially answered by John Heckman (FRCCA owner). However, in the two race weekends in 2011 we ran on the short course without the carousel. We ran one...

Another thumbs up for Dave and Ellen. They have been very helpful on trying to diagnose the problems with my old Stack system. Just got the memory unit back after only a few days with a replaced...

Rich,

I think you first need to decide if you want to get a Mechanical Engineering Degree (BSME), or a Mechanical Engineering Technology Degree, or go to a school such as UTI to learn Mechanics. ...

John,

John & Sue's email is listed a couple of screens down on the home page, left side.

Glenn

Glenn - Haven't tried clutchless shifting yet. Thats on my list of things to practice next year once I get better at consistent lap times, corner lines, and braking points.

TJCEZAR - Agreed it...

It was a great weekend at NJMP, good weather, decent fields, good racing even in the back of the pack, etc. Also nice to see other families with kids at the track and the general family friendly...

Ditto that statement Actually I will score some much needed points on the domestic front, as I now can spend tomorrow afternoon doing some neglected spring yard work rather than trying to wrap up...
