Today, Feb. 21, 2003, we mailed the February 2003 issue of North American
Pylon.
Lead story this month cover the SCCA Cal Club season opener at Hollywood
Park, the horse racing track, in southern California just off Interstate
10. They had a 344 driver field.
And we covered the Jan. 26 Super Bowl Sunday SCCA San Francisco
Region "Boondoggle" season opener at the Network Associates Coliseum in
Oakland, CA. Da Raidahs were busy blowing the Super Bowl in San Diego.
Events are a bit few and far between this time of year. We also
covered SF Region's second event at Candlestick Park in San Francisco and
we have a feature on the region's re-do of their Timing and Scoring
motorhome, a very classy affair.
We have a site map of the new autocross site west of Phoenix, AZ.
The 800' x 800' site didn't take up the whole property so Dan Maloney built
a 2.5-mile road course, too.
This issue goes to all the former Stopwatcher readers in the
Washington, DC, area.
Inside we have stories on
Carroll Shelby's new 289 Cobra for the street. Ol' Shel is
now 90 years old!
Another Paul Haney chapter on shock absorbers.
Another Bryan Beckman piece on the Physics of Racing.
PROrg's first two events at Tallladega and Houston.
We salute C Prepared with a feature that includes photos of 22 CP
drivers and their cars that didn't trophy---this time--at the 2002 Solo II
Nationals.
We have a feature on General Motors' new 3.6-liter V6 with Double
Overhead Cams and four valves per cylinder. There's variable valve timing
for both intake and exhaust. Zoomy stuff from the General. Seth Emerson
describes all the V6s ever used in the now-discontinued Camaro.
