PA Hillclimb

Track events and hillclimbs are different and unique to themselves. I love both for different reasons. As i missed Jeffererson this is the first i am hearing of the idea I think it is great. I think either format would work and i really wouldnt care which one would be implemented. As for the racers...

I too now have a PM I sent last night to Rick Kase still sitting in my outbox. I am positive I hhit the submit button.

Thanks for the observations. My rollbar is an Autopower Roll bar constructed to SCCA specifications appropriate for the weight of my car. The 911 is a unibody car and the rollbar does mount to the floor and the rearward braces mount to the inner arches of the wheel wells. At both locations there are...

Thanks Rich, I am dating myself a bit...when I mentioned B/P, I was thinking B Production, but a quick visit back to the SCCA GCR, I see that B/Production is no more. I will likely stay in SSM, but I was considering changing my bumpers to so vintage RS style fiberglass pieces and I don't think Stree...

So \....if I modify my car with changes that exceeds the SSM class, I guess I would go to B/P. Does that move require me to add a full cage to the my roll bar?

I have sourced a kit that allows the bumpsteer adjustment to me made at the outer ends of the tierod attachments to the spindles....that will get me around the relocating the rack technicality for street prepared. I have a few more questions as we sit around this winter and contemplate the next seas...

Mrevilracing, For some stupid reason, I read your first post wrong and thought you said I would not be able to use the Boxster brakes. That is why I quoted the rule book....I guess I need to go back to reading class with my 7th grade son and work on comprehension skills. Thanks for your help input!!...

Correct me if I am reading this wrong: 15.6 paragragraph H. Says: "Brake calipers may be replaced, provided the number of pistons is equal to or greater than the original number of pistons. Caliper mounting brackets may be replaced to accommodate this change, but may serve no other purpose. Alt...

Thanks The bumpsteer kit is simply spacers that raise the rack a bit for when the car is lowered...I just read the street prepared rule about steering racks and it seems the spacers that change rack location are not allowed....... So i guess i removed the bumpsteer spacers or move on to SSMod. I hav...

Thanks Rich, I looked thru the web based 2009 solo rulebook and it appears that my car would run in B/Street Prepared. It also appears that you are allowed to use any brake caliper that uses the same mounting points. If anyone else has more insight for things I need to prepare for, please let me kno...

Can anyone help with my answers to my questions?

I have decided to end my Formula Ford racing to spend more time with my family. I do still intend to do some competition and will run some hillclimbs and track events and recently bought a 1986 Porsche 911 Carrera. It has a stock engine and transmission but the catalytic converter is removed. The su...

I think those here know this, But I want to point out that the GCR spefically mentions a FIA certification along with the SFI for driving suits and other apparel: Excerpt from the 2009 GCR: "Driving suits that effectively cover the body from the neck to the ankles and wrists. One piece suits ar...

I will be interested as well...as I would like to bring out my Crossle formula ford too.
