Last time I checked at a dealer three years ago, it was $146 an hour. Independent at the same time was about $103. In the SF bay area.

Laguna Seca is a track that people from around the world lust over. I don't think much of San Francisco, but the Monterey Peninsula is a destination in itself. Be aware that the winter is the rainy...

Please let us know what they tell you, as far as measuring any flex.

The other nice thing is if your cage is not 360 degrees welded up, you can get that finished with the roof off.

Regarding 13/13 racing, I wasn't talking about making risky moves on them, but vice versa. There are race classes within NASA where "rubbin' is racing" is not just an attitude, it's a way of life.

Definitely get an extinguisher. I was at a DE where 3 Porsches burned. One of them was a nice 993 right in front of me. No extinguisher on board, the passenger running through the paddock trying to...

Considering they are going purely by lb. per hp, 911's should have a nice advantage with their low hp/high torque and rear weight bias.

How is that 13/13 rule going to work? Are they going to have...

Another avenue to consider is BMW club racing. At least you won't have to drive a Miata. :)

BMWCCA has similar 13/13 rules to the Porsche clubs, and there are Stock and Prepared classes where the...

It sounds like you have a peanut head like me. Bells are shaped for bowling ball heads. You may find that a Simpson fits you better.

If you do the head gasket you will also need a new timing belt. Once you relax tension on the belt you have to replace it.

It sounds like you want to "do" rather than "watch". In that case, forget the Monterey Historics, Tribute to LeMans, etc.

That's one of the great things about the Open Track Challenge - instead of bench racing you can go look up previous results. Even the fastest Evo's can't touch Jack, and if you count the expense of...

Holtville was the track there. It was still in occasional use even last year.

Infineon but not Laguna. Laguna will probably also never be in the OTC for two reasons:
1) very expensive track to rent

964 Turbo. 993's are too commonplace, and 930's aren't really any faster than a 993 until you mod it.
