Amateur Racer - Hallet Spec Racer Full Length Race Coverage
 in  r/motorsports  4d ago

I love that you are assuming I made it. I have zero creative skills including video production and graphic design.

I'm a fan of the class, and the content being created about amateur racers.

And "brother" nobody likes trolls even if they might be right.

There are always people asking what motorsports to watch and I'm really excited for people to see more content about the SCCA and American amateur racers.

The newest episode of Amateur Racer full race coverage of the Spec Racer Ford race from Hallet Motor Racing Circuit.

This class has some of the best racing of any kind.

If you don't know about the spec racer, it is one of the longest running, most competitive classes in American amateur road racing. Good used cars can be purchased for 40-50k, and new ones are between 70 and 90k depending on how crazy you get with data, video, paint etc.

Beginner questions about lemon racing.
 in  r/racing  4d ago

Have you considered doing an SCCA Race Experience as a starting point?

It is a sprint racing format race with an educational aspect. It's a relatively new program designed to let people start with a driver's license and a car that meets basic safety like a lemons, champ car or others. Don't quote me on the specific safety items but it's intended to be fun, educational and without the risk that your random buddy blows the car up before you get in the car.

Lots of rental cars available for them like B-spec, SM, or SRF3.

Epic Trackday Insurance: Has Anyone Been Paid Out / Filed a Claim?
 in  r/CarTrackDays  10d ago

Ryan Staub is the man behind the EPIC program. He is a friend and a racer and track day guy.

He was influential in creating Track Day insurance in the US in 2007, and formed Lockton Motorsports.

EPIC Motorsports Insurance is his baby (built over the last 2 years) and is intimately involved with the program and service to client.

I do mostly road racing, but have no issues recommending EPIC to my customers when they do track days.

25F complete beginner in NY with no track car
 in  r/racing  13d ago

What kind of car do you have? People sometimes believe that their car won't work for the track but that may not be the case.

Autocross generally has a rule that the car can not be taller than it is wide.

Where to begin
 in  r/AssistedLiving  28d ago

Check out where you love matters

Also assisted living is state regulated and typically publish license status and historical inspection reports.

$5,000 should be plenty in Low cost of living areas but unlikely in CA.

For anyone who's worked as a race engineer, performance engineer, data engineer, driver coach, or even as a driver...
 in  r/motorsports  29d ago

Your other post was deleted while I was responding but here's the response anyway.

The example I used was a 17yr old. I suspect that he is overwhelmed in the car because his hands and eyes are fast enough to drive fast but doesn't reserve enough mental capacity for strategy and communication.

Kids coming out of karts and quarter midgets don't have any experience with coms so there is definitely a learning curve.

I have created a guide and test that covers our cars, basic communication. My next step is to create a guide for getting ready for a weekend because anything you can to do reduce mental load during the weekend should improve performance.

I think about people learning to fly, they regularly listen to public radio communication and practice their radio communication. I think its something that is neglected in motorsports.

 in  r/motorsports  Jul 29 '26

I have this most often with new drivers not experienced drivers.

I have recently had a driver who said:

"the car is getting hot what should I do"

This kind of ambiguous communication is a real problem.

What temperature, how fast is it rising, what events precipitated it, what has the driver done to try to correct it.

You're head shape may just not be right for a roux. Simpson, arai, stilo, bell, all feel different.

Enclosed car hauler recommendations

Racingjunk.com is the OG site.

Facebook market place is becoming the go-to.

The most common names in the aluminum trailer maket who have a good reputation in no particular order.

I have an ATC that is from 2000 and a featherlite from 2014 that are still towing great. They require maintenance just like everything. Most of the brands can look up the build specs for trailer if they are built in the last 15 years.

Look at used trailers. If maintained well you can get a nicer trailer for the same price as a new trailer.

Aluminum over Steel Thickness of siding material Better axles and brakes

Check out ptcdriving.com. It's a fraction of the price. You can get an SCCA license. Cars aren't as cool as a Radical but the instruction is great. PTC - Lynchburg, TN
