Re: 2024 Discussion Topics - Need some responses before the start of the race season

From the VLR manual: "Vortex engine works with commercial gasoline, leaded or unleaded, as well as racing fuel, with minimum 95 Octane" Pretty sure we aren't meeting that minimum octane rating with co-op pump alone. If we are seeing pre-ignition (detonation) then this is going to impact pe...

Re: VLR battery box buttons

Agreed -this is nonsense and at the club level at least we shouldn't care about a switch.

Re: sold please remove

or better yet, just put SOLD in your title and leave it there; it's useful to others to see what has sold recently and for what price.

Re: EZ Hack For Those Struggling To Stay On Top of T & T Times/Dates

When I started the Race Day and Track Info forum, it was intended primarily as a space to let people coordinate. This was before we had a paid T&T marshal on specific days. Unfortunately, what ended up happening was that I would say I'm going out with my son and then a bunch of individuals would...
