XSA and XSB now have pax factors. Perhaps this will impact any decisions.

XS-A 0.844
XS-B 0.864

How is it any different from every category above street?

I don’t think there is any requirement to be ca smog legal to run in xs.

Has anyone compared xs to cam? You may find some similar wording.

I'm just asking for opinions, I'm not sure how the reasons for the change impact your opinion.

Either way, as Jon pointed out, it has been walked back so I guess it doesn't really matter anymore.

As some of you may or may not be aware, at the national convention this year the national staff announced their intention to change the national championship run day schedule. Historically we've run either Tue/Wed or Thur/Fri and the newly proposed run days would be Tue/Thur or Wed/Fri which would i...

I’d probably go 245/265 but I’m not exactly a street tire squishing expert.

How wide are the wheels?

Thanks Marshall. Since the content test is water-absorption based, then I would think significant water contamination should show up in the test results. I assume driving the "clear space" at the top down. Which I'm not seeing. Seems like you have it backwards. When you do the water test ...

well as long as there isn't so much water that phase separation occurs (like exactly what happens when you test E85 by adding water) then it's safe to run. I think E85 can hold something like 4% water without phase separation, which is likely a big source of error in the phase separation testing of ...

E90 is common.

I haven't really had any problems with the E85 in socal. the main problem with old e85 is it absorbs water from the air, but the good news is you live in a desert.

It is in SS effective immediately.

Build a better scissor jack? What is failing that can’t be made thicker?

This should keep the calculator racers busy over the holidays.

I believe the software is what costs 7500 bucks. I have no direct experience with reflashing an abs module but it can be done.

no this is an OUTRAGE! What is our region leadership thinking?!?!?! Adding a cool new venue as soon as it becomes available without actively coordinating with every single one of our members and their vacation schedules. I say we all give up autox entirely!!!! :lol: ...that's why we have drops. I'm ...

I figure this might be enlightening.

Mike is on point. The bosch programmable abs has come down in price. There are now many different ways to hack in a factory abs to almost any car for quite cheap (hint: the race abs is just a factory porsche 911 abs unit with different software). The performance delta between fully programmable and ...

Nice job on the course this weekend and congratulations on your first CSCC overall championship!

It should be obvious (my snarky comment clearly didn’t come across well) but we have an entire class (csm) dedicated to lower treadwear tires that people can run right now. Why can’t the track day crowds run in that class? What problem are we solving?

Why wouldn’t we just kill csm while we are at it? And why limit the treadwear to 100, why not cut straight to the chase and make the treadwear limit something like 41 (hoosiers are treadwear 40)?

caution: it has more than 5 HP.

This stuff isn't hard, and I know folks want to do a good job, but if a long standing rule is suddenly overturned, there should be NO QUESTION as to why and a whole lot of open debate. Derek I feel like you are under estimating the difficulty of having an open debate with thousands of people (autoc...

I don’t understand the “transparency” angle you guys have focused on. you all have stated the exact reasoning the SEB made its decicion in your arguments but still claim you don’t see the reasoning. I have personally spoon fed you the rationale in this thread and still you claim there is no transpar...
