East Tennessee Region SCCA

You guys won't recognize the Locost... I'm actually going to run with the hood on the car this year. I've just finished the adapter that bolts to the throttle body and Tyler has found me a piece of 3" stainless intercooler pipe... now all I need is an adapter to connect the two. Basically, I ne...

I may contact Mouton's and see if we can just link to their classing information. As far as tech... since I don't run it, I don't know the common issues you guys run in to while running tech. Why don't those of you who run tech get together and compile that portion of the FAQ? If Scott's post covers...

I'm in the process of compiling an ETRSCCA FAQ and I would like to get input from everyone. I'm really just looking for information that applies to our region. I'm looking for things you wish you'd known (or been told) about autocrossing with the ETR region when you first started. Check out the Solo...

Wayne, can you give me a list of the current officers? Also, can you guys check the contact info page: http://www.etrscca.org/contact.htm and let me know of any changes to phone numbers, e-mail, etc. Also, you can let me know if you want any info removed (if you don't want your phone or e-mail liste...

The annual tech form is now available (pdf format) on the Solo II area of the web site.

Here is a direct link: Annual Tech Form

I'd like to apply for an annual tech sticker. I guess we'll have to wait for the rulebooks to arrive before we can do it? (The stickers are going in the rulebooks, right?) If we do it at night, won't that be a pain for the inspectors? Should we do it soon, or wait until a few weeks before the first ...

Yes, Chris, you will get a renewal notice in the mail.

The 712s should last you a season easily, so long as you manage tire pressures properly at events (we can help you there), they would definitley outlast a race tire anyway. The Kumho MX tires are great tires, similar to the Azenis (Falken) as an intermediate tire between street and a dedicated r-com...

If you are new to autocrossing, I would suggest that you run your first season on street tires. Trust me, it will make you a smoother, better driver and you will gain more when you switch over to race tires. Race tires will mask poor driving habits and make your learning curve steeper. If you don't ...

Call Ground Control. They've set up just about every kind of car for both autocross and road courses. I'd be really surprised if they couldn't tell you exactly what spring rate (and swaybars) you need for autox.

Anyone know of a good and cheap place to get brake rotors turned? John Brown, will Ted Russell do it if you carry them in? How much?

Thanks

Did you check the checkbox for "log me on automatically..." ?

Well, it depends on pavement availability, but there are two big issues that I can think of right off: 1) We need more saftey stewards... and, of course, they need to be people who show up regularly and will take saftey seriously. I don't think we have anyone in the club who is certified to train ne...

Holy Crap!!! Was that expected or a surprise?

Yep, late March or early April.
