Raffle WARNING!
My experience from the last raffle was that they send them out in batches. If your check has cleared, or your credit card has been hit (mine was, 10 days ago) don't worry. You will have your numbered ticket in hand before the raffle.- dblankenbaker

IL VCA chapter parade lap the NASCAR race in Chicago
Ralph, Very few people have contributed more to the club than I have. When we needed to create/compile the electronic version of the membership database 5 years ago, I was the person who set it up. I still support it to this day. I was drafted by Jay Herbert and Steve Ferguson to create the...- dblankenbaker

IL VCA chapter parade lap the NASCAR race in Chicago
Ralph, you should work with the club's Communications Director, Gary Grubbe, to come up with a way of equitably notifying all members the next time we have a "short notice" event like this. Maybe a club mailing list is the answer? Maybe a mailing list in combination with a phone list...- dblankenbaker

Spark Plugs
If your heads are domed, or if your plugs are coming in more from the top down you'll want the gap up. That is actually much more common. I was speaking to Gen-1 heads which look like all the open space is below the plug. Maybe Gen-2 heads are significantly different??? Perhaps there is...- dblankenbaker

Spark Plugs
People might recommend other plugs, but people who have tried other plugs (myself included) and gone back to Champion swear by the stock Champions (part #412, I believe). They should come gapped .035 out of the box (doesn't hurt to check). I don't know anyone who has indexed their plugs...- dblankenbaker

Intermittant headlights...what's going on?
Re: Intermittant headlights...what\'s going on? There is a self-resetting circuit breaker in the headlamp switch. It takes care of any shorts upstream of the fuses (otherwise you'd burn fusable links, or melt the switch). You should have heard it click when it tripped off, and yes it would...- dblankenbaker

Plate holder
The license plate is clamped against the center upright of the fascia. It clamps on fairly tight. It has a slight "nose down" attitude because the center upright in the fascia has this same attitude (at least on the Gen-1 fascia). I have never had it on for more than a few days of driving...- dblankenbaker

Lets talk about brakes again
I had the same thing happen in the middle of a track weekend a few years ago. The pads were low. I had previously run pads all the way down to the backing plate w/o leaks (you've all done it... admit it), so I started thinking I was done for the weekend without new seals. Steve from AutoForm...- dblankenbaker

Dyno results.......... impressive, but how?
steveb, If your car is '96 GTS VIN 0700, the original owner is Tom Pianovski (Illinois VCA member). The headers/exhaust are SVS. (I happened to see that car there, but didn't notice who the current owner is.) David- dblankenbaker

Alignment Help
A car will pull towards the side with more positive camber. Since the Viper runs negative camber in front, it will pull towards the side with the least negative camber. From your specs, the LF was actually the side out of whack, unless you roadrace with Hoosiers or slicks and run -2.0 camber...- dblankenbaker

Would this be under warrenty???
If your car is still under the 3/36 warranty, and if the crack wasn't obviously caused by hitting the console with a hammer, etc, then the answer is "yes".- dblankenbaker
