Should be soon. I sent it a while ago but Hardigree said it got lost in the mail Read more

The problem is actually too much grip or aero downforce. It is too easy to go flat which means that the entire field is virtually going the same speed which is what forms the packs. At 200+mph a pack full of open wheel cars is just a wreck looking for a place to happen. Read more

Not to get into a huge debate but I've seen all of the in-car footage (4 cameras) and Figge at no time turned into Skeen. I've know him personally for a long time (he's was my next door neighbor for years) and he's hugely experienced (Champ Car, Grand Am (Prototype), ALMS (Ferrari), ect) and has never had a rep as a Read more

Yes racecars are safer now than they ever have been but it is still a dangerous sport. If you look at both Gunter's crash and McNish LeMans crash, it was only a matter of pure luck that neither driver was seriously injured, but more importantly that the safety crew and photogs that were standing in front of the Read more

I think Caswell's passenger door is itchin' for a Holland sticker Read more

Good catch. I'm not heel-toeing. Because of my braking issues I'm using engine compression to help get the car slowed down Read more

Yup we're at Mid O. Glad you stumbled across the series and gave us the chance to make a fan out of you. Read more

Actually the bearings themselves have been totally solid with no "issues". The only thing we're getting is a bit more flex in them with the racing slicks we are running. Read more

Nope. The problem with my brakes was caused by simple pad knockback. I have a tendency to be more aggressive on the curbing during a race. That has translated into worse pad knockback then we have seen in testing. When the pads get knockedback us drivers have to be very diligent in tapping the brake pedal to snug the Read more
