Forum will no longer be utilized!

After facing many challenges with utilization of this forum for many years, the board voted on the evening of 1/12/2026 to stop use of the forum in favor of the modern, more effective means.

Most of our general club organization will now be coordinated via Discord and results from our events along with schedules and announcements will be hosted on our main alscca.net webpage.

What does this mean for the old forum? Well, in short we are going to stop using it. This has been reviewed several times in the past few years, and there has been a desire for some of more tenured members of the club to have the historic content preserved. In an effort to preserve this content, it was discovered that we could not simply export the content to be placed in a modern website. This forum will now become an archive only forum and will not be monitored. If you wish to preserve any of the content, this is your time to search the pages to find it. There is no promise that this content will remain available forever with the fragile nature of this forum.

    Dec 2017 Chumpcar @ Barber

    My team & I braved the snow & the cold for the Chumpcar race at Barber on December 9-10. This was the second outing for 2008 Accord Coupe. We had some issues Saturday that put us at the back of the pack. The worst was a slower car that moved over on Mark and he ended up against the foam barriers along the armco near Station 4. We were behind the wall for most of two hours checking out the front suspension and adjusting the car's alignment.

    I got tapped to start the Sunday race...my first time to be in a car at the start. Gotta say that stint was the most fun I've ever had on a racetrack. We started 29th and I worked it up to 6th before pitting in 7th. This video is the first ~15 minutes of that Sunday run. We stopped for fuel prior to the quiet hour and discovered the front brakes were almost gone. The guys got the rotors and pads changed just before the race went to parc ferme conditions but the extra 30 minutes behind the wall looks to have cost us a potential class win and top 5 overall.

    Big thanks to ALSCCA's Delanie Calhoun & Manuel Mota for answering my desperate plea for help and coming out on Saturday to help with pit crew duties. Work had called two of our guys away and we would have been up the creek without you guys. Thanks!
