Hey all - Have a fun one to bring out this weekend: 2019 Hyundai Veloster N, Performance Pack. All stock, except for RE71's on a base model 18" wheel. Car is OE equipped with the 2.0 turbo, 275HP, 6-spd manual, FWD, eLSD, active suspension (strut front, multilink rear). I expect it to eventual...

looks like you can dunk it in your gas jug too, but it doesn't say what the tolerance is.
looks sketchy af
I think that russian tester is more meant to help combat watered down gas than for exact octane for compliance reasons.
Maybe SEB should buy one, test it vs its favorite lab

Updated as SOLD!

Seriously? $5000 kit just to make sure you fuel is compliant....omg lol Please tell me the SEB worked out a member discount rate? Lol Seriously though, since things are self policed, is there a cost effective procedure drafted by the SEB for Street and ST competitors? I would like to think these ru...

at least one can measure octane. I think you can only do that with a lab, correct? Is there any home garage use tool that can be reliably used to help drivers check if their own fuel is compliant? My chemistry knowledge is limited on this, so if there are any such tool recommendations, please share!

Sounds like you have never been to a trackday event, huh? Tell you what. I think you need to go and see who our regional motorsports competition is and what their customers are doing with their cars. Maybe by seeing it first hand, you can start to understand what we are up against to attract more dr...

My take on it is it's not about cheating, but more about broadening our regional inclusiveness.

I would imagine our more serious national level competitors would run per national standards to get their cars sorted for Lincoln.

Honestly as I personally disagree with the recent SEB rule change purposals, I am bias, but I do think Adam's proposal has some merrit. Regionally, it can be argued that the recent octane rule and current seat proprosal for ST classes threaten to deminish our local market competiviness to attract th...

Bump for March update

MSR restrictions dont let us edit the field names, unfortunately.

There IS wording at the top explaining the options.
Any suggestions to draw more attention to the wording to make people actually "read"?

Annant: If you're interested in being Tech Chief in the future, there's a couple of things you need to study up on. While you don't need to be a tech expert, you are responsible for our first line of safety, so please take a moment to read (and re-read) the documents linked below: First of all read...

Not that it's going to be changed.... but... the problem actually starts by calling them "fun" runs. It implies a carefree jaunt of wild abandonment, i.e., conefest! Perhaps a more pointed statement about staying sane at the fun run drivers meeting is called for....... :think: :? :wave: :...

Thanks Steve!

We need a Youth Steward for the event.
If you are available, please raise your hand.
Thanks!

Selling a practically brand new Bride AIR seat. Used for 1 event, plus about 10 days of driving. Very lightweight (15lbs.) Fits comfortably to a 34-35" waist. 32-33" waist might need side pads to tighten things up for autocross. Lower thigh bolsters make ingress and egress easier, yet stil...

FWIW, I was the first group starter and spaced the initial cars at 20 sec. Anthony came over and requested we close it to 17 seconds which I did for the rest of the group. When it was my turn to run, I noticed we were back to 20 seconds. First group we had perhaps four "hold the starts" l...

Awesome RPH! We are getting there!
With the reruns calculated in that averages to about 23.5s interval between each driver on course.

Give it a rest George.... Gesh..... And even mentioning 3 runs in a dying region with consistently less than 125 entrants should immediately lead to some dire punishment like being forced to run your CM car covered in I'mWithHer bumper stickers. Average number of entries in 2017 was 155 with a medi...

the goal really isn't to pack up at noon or 1 pm. the goal is to stop running hugely inefficient events so that we can get more runs. I'd like to see us move in the direction of having a morning session and an afternoon session where everyone has the option to drive in both. it would probably requi...

Feedback from other regional organizers (Milwaukee, Wash DC, etc.) show that they typically are able to churn out anywhere from +950 to 1300 runs in a one day event. If we could reach close to the 1200 runs per day level of efficiency, we would be able to provide either 4 runs per driver up to 300 d...

Why? Events with low RPH would also indicate long work groups.
Focusing on increasing our RPH should benefit many aspects of the experience of our events in general.

I would also like to see a keep "the December format option with fun runs". I find that not including it shows your personal bias and doesn't leave a possible choice And the poll question you proudly wave wasn't biased. If it had said, "Would you like to see the December format used ...

This Dewalt is my favorite. It has been used on countless wheel changes, other mechanical jobs, and general house use. The batteries last forever and the gun has enough torque to break free lugs so the whole wheel change process is quicker and takes less effort. https://www.amazon.com/DEWALT-DCF880H...
