B2 Motorsports blog
The B2 Motorsports blog: road racing in Huntsville, from the shop floor.
Race weekend recaps, driver stories, and a running Getting Started series on the practical questions: what the rulebook requires, what things cost, and who we buy from ourselves.
What's here
Two kinds of posts.
Recaps and driver stories from our own race weekends, and a Getting Started series aimed at anyone new to road racing. Newest first. Newest first.
Consider this the road racing blog Huntsville drivers use to get up to speed. Most of what is below came out of our own race weekends: recaps from Road America, Mid-Ohio, Atlanta Motorsports Park and Road Atlanta, and drivers telling their own how-I-started stories in their own words. Alongside those we are building a Getting Started series: plain answers to the questions a first-time renter or a new SRF3 owner asks. Each one is sourced from the SCCA rulebook, our own driver-registration paperwork and the suppliers we buy gear from ourselves. Two entries so far: how to choose a prep shop, and a walk through buying safety gear: what the SCCA requires for a helmet, restraint, suit, gloves and shoes, what a legal kit costs at a few different budgets, and where B2 buys its own. If you are working toward a license, start with how to get a racing license. More Getting Started posts are on the way. If you are looking for a specific answer and cannot find it here, our FAQ and the Race With Us page cover most of what a first-time renter asks, and you can always reach out directly.
