Shocks, calipers, and rear wings/spoilers are covered by the "readily available" tag in the rules. Of those three, I only see shocks being an actual competitive advantage. Others might disagree. ...

"6.33.6 Any non-remote reservoir shock absorbers, of any origin, that are readily available to the public from a retail source for less than $1,000 a pair may be used provided they attach to the OEM...
The issue with discontinued parts probably needs to be discussed. What is the value of AST shock/struts if you can't actually purchase them? For reference, Dan's Camaro has them and I don't want...
The Stoptech rotors are pretty high quality and generally last a long time. There are several factors that can affect their life like how hard they are used, how good your cooling is, what pads you...
Glad they are doing something. Curious how that will work. I'm assuming by class? Which class goes in which order??? The faster/more powerful classes often have some of the slowest drivers that...
I'm not currently a CMC competitor so I'm not going to officially submit anything but I would like a couple of CMC rules looked at:
1) Hood gutting. If (when) you forget your hood pins and your...
That CBP was clockwise so not much help...

Speaking of history, this one brought back a few memories: Wayne's old AI car currently for sale on Racing Junk along with Wayne and I racing at TWS in 2004...

Car just has to meet safety rules for comp school. It doesn't have to meet any class rules for any particular class.

Or just buy a set so you have some spares. Your probability of needing a spare is inversely proportional to your availability of a spare. True for everything, not just wheel studs...

The system is broken. Everyone new one I've seen lately has been old stock with much of the life used up. Yours is the worst I've seen. You should be able to return it and complain but it's...
Interesting memories buried in there. Introduction of the dyno sticker? Who came up with that crap...
The dustup between Varner, Cory, and Wayne sounds pretty tame when written up in Grassroots....
From a single car in mid 2003 to the list from 2004 is a huge jump. Pretty amazing how quickly things blossomed. It was a lot of fun...

Mike Bell was the first AI entrant in 2003 with a single event as the only one in the class. Mike Bell, John George and I raced AI at Cresson on August 2-3 of that year.

All rated helmets pass the same test. The test is pass/fail at least as far as the public is told. Some helmets may or may not be safer but it probably doesn't track with the price. Really...
Josh and I had an event at MSRH last weekend where the temperatures were in the upper 20's both Saturday and Sunday morning. I don't know if it was necessary but we both chickened out and added...
I haven't looked at the specific wording of the rules. An onboard fire system and a fire extinguisher effectively serve different purposes. An onboard system is something you pull when fire erupts...

Didn't really happen this weekend. Josh beat him by a little bit in qual and the first race. After that, he had bent valves in his car and raced a different car that wasn't up to the task.

Wish we knew where it was. It was cool. I can't even find a picture of it to show Josh...

Congratulations to Josh for winning the 2021 NASA CMC National Championship!

It's going good so far for Josh. He got pole, won the first race, and set the track record today. His fast lap gets him pole for tomorrow's race. He's been battling pretty hard with Hunter Lydic...
