Re: Where did everybody go?

Facebook. Ha, guess I'm out then. Just incase you were attending or thinking of attending the Auto-X on Mar 25 and 26th 2023 : Facebook (Cal Club Autocross) shows it is still going to happen on the main page (as of Friday Feb 24, 2023). Facebook shows it is canceled on the Cal Club Autocross group ...

Re: XEV/XS Rules

Sorry but I see a few things in this message string that are disturbing. The protest is worth the conversation and getting to a finding is important. What I see is a breakdown in our club's management and some disturbing statements by our Board rep. The breakdown is upsetting and as a result the mem...

Need a good (1974-79) 260Z and 280Z shop in Orange County, help.

I know we have a few early Z owners in our club so I just have to ask. I have a friend who wants to sell his clean STOCK original 280 Z and he needs a good mechanic in Orange County (or near) that knows how to work on the mid to late 1970s Z cars. The car needs to pass smog and it may need some fuel...

Re: Extreme street, should it replace CST?

Cool. It would be nice to use the scales a few times a year just for fun. Sport seats can save 20 to 60 lbs. When a car is on the fence fuel level is factor. It would be nice to have the opportunity for the car builder to weigh in just to know.

Thanks for the answer.

Re: Extreme street, should it replace CST?

The one question I have is weight, how do we measure it locally? Do we need scales for some events or just not do it like local SM? Using the allowances provided it is possible to build an incredible power to weigh ratio car. Some cars can reduce weigh from stock. An S2000 (stock 2813 lbs with heavy...

Re: Historic 1 Proposed Rules change.

I am requesting that the HCS level of preparation be acknowledged as acceptable for cars that run in all class's for cars that compete in the "Street" level of preparation. I see your point but it takes more than that to make it work if the HIST PAX structure that we have is used. PAX get...

Re: Historic 1 Proposed Rules change.

Just some clarification. Looking at some of the posts above I see HCS and HIST blended and confused with each other. Cal Club has something in place (a PAX structure we call HIST) however other regions do not have anything for older cars. HCS is confusing. It is just an offering to local regions fro...

Re: Historic 1 Proposed Rules change.

I think coil overs are not a big problem for HIST2. Think about STS as a starting point. Way more to think about. Best done in a different string as this string is about allowing HCS or not into Cal Club HIST1 as it is listed in the letter.

Re: Historic 1 Proposed Rules change.

Doug, I am not suggesting we limit the Historic 2 to just E and H Street. Until we have anyone running we will not know the effect of a HCS level of preparation on a group of cars with production starting in 1975. What I am asking for is HCS preparation allow for spring that could be other than sto...

Re: Historic 1 Proposed Rules change.

Doug, I feel that your proposed 0.870 index does a good job of dealing with the fastest-possible HCS-prepped car. However, it leaves the rest of the field (literally everyone in the class today) in the dust. That is what HCS is all about, just like SM. So far the PAX has been so soft and the fast c...

Doug, A 911 could certainly be prepped to be extremely fast, especially a turbocharged and fuel injected 74 model. At least one region actually excludes the 911, probably for this very reason.
