It was asked where to find uprated axles (not "axels"!) for the Spitfire. Got that, and also if it is not too much a stretch of the topic, just found out about a supplier of another key part that peo

Are you sure about this? What's the source? Hate to sound so skeptical -- Bob Sharp is a giant in SCCA racing history (6-time National Champ, and IMHO his battles with Tullius over the years make it

This is definitely NOT the 6-time National Champion Bob Sharp, who lives (still!) in Wilton, Conn. I'm so glad. His son Scott, I just saw, is happily tire testing for Firestone at Indy this week, not

You're exactly right, Bill, and I do much the same albeit with a lot less thrashing about it. Club racing with a crew of "self" mandates that. In my case, through many years of doing this, I have a b
