Building and Racing Cars: Seeking Help with Engineering and Physics Challenges

[Scargo]

I am retired. I have a hobby of building my own engines, transmissions and doing all the work to my cars and racing in advanced high performance driver education (HPDE) or "track day" formats. I used to road race... I am building an 818R kit car but currently have a fully track prepared Subaru STi putting over 400 WHP to the ground.
I have an minor engineering schooling background and tons of "experiential education" but occasionally am stumped and need help with simple or somewhat unique issues usually related to engineering or physics.
I was once a specialist in thermoset plastics and silicone rubber molds. I know Rapid Prototyping, adhesives, plastics and more and may be of some help in those areas.

Enjoy the PF! The Automotive forum was recently merged into the ME forum -- I think you will have fun in there (and the other forums here).
