Have to wonder the reasoning behind not allowing the FRC in, but allowing the more powerful coupe to play? Must be because the FRC is so dominate in AS? Oh yeah, a coupe won in 2011 & 2012. :lol: Proposed new listings added into STU (via Tech Bulletin): Corvette (1997-2004) (Non-Z06, Non-FRC )

Bump with new price.

Gone.

No cooking. I'm assuming the track vendor will be open. There's plenty of run time to make your own lunch run time though.

Our Divisional Solo Safety Steward at the time said we had to line the entire road course with cones. That was pretty much the death siren on us ever running Buttonwillow or Willow again. We tend to blame costs and attendence and other important realities. But the safety restrictions placed on runn...

That is a nice car Bob. btw, if it were slated to be a Challenge car it would have the code R7F on the build sticker. The Challenge cars had Z51 suspension like yours, but WITH the FX3 adjustable shocks - the civilian FX3 cars had the softer Z52 springs. Your car is a lot like the very fast and succ...

On exhausts, the thinking is pretty simple: Keep it legal (turn downs under the car are illegal in this state and most every other) and keep it safe (avoid CO recirculation into the cockpit) to allow true "arrive and drive" street cars not being penalized. If competitors no longer have to...

Can somebody please explain? Don't see the rationale. Because the rule was written by a BMW or Subaru owner? }:) What's the deal with full-length exhausts? The rule was fine the way it was. Many times, cars are quieter when the pipe is turned towards the ground under the car, so what's the benefit?...

Exactly my thought, does anyone know if its street legal?

I would think that would only take an exhaust change every other year. ;)

When my back was turned some desperate individual jumped in to the Prius C and took some runs at the El Toro Tire Rack SCCA ProSolo. Thus far we have not identified the suspect, but our crack team is working to track him down. Our biggest clue to who this may be comes at 1:13 in the video, he seems ...

From Chris Harvey of the TR: Tire Rack's official update regarding the subject: Hankook Tire has changed the Uniform Tire Quality Grade (UTQG) Treadwear rating of their Ventus R-S3 Z222 Extreme Performance Summer tire.

BS is also sitting at 4 cars.

I propose that Doug be our official spokesman to SEB!! ;) On that very subject, I'm seeking opinion from those more wise... Would it be more effective to draft a collective letter to the SEB that essentially has multiple "signors", or will it be better to have individual input? I'm thinki...

we could talk about C4's on r-comps but how about we take a more relevant example and consider a car that isn't on the border of extinction. how much camber did your rx8 have? -1.4 in the front. In STX trim -3. Hard to imagine that with the same tires, less spring, and sitting taller it will run be...

whatever road racer... :lol: my stiff car with lots of camber also has struts and r-comps. so the point is street tires and double a-arms are not going to be camber challenged. were you planning some sort of stock class return that this change ruins or what? you got so bored with the current stock ...

i would argue that both would be faster with using the same static camber setting and stiffer bars than the same bars and more static camber. I know you have a lot of experience with the shortcomings of a stock class car and its suspension. ;) You argue it all you want... As you hop into your stiff...

This stock proposal truly makes me ill. When I started in 1993 the stock class rules were very much what they are today (less the new rear bar allowance :unimpressed: ) now toss them out and largely start over due to stock "participation" concerns and "barriers" to entry. This is...

Marshall Grice wrote: how many double a-arm cars are camber limited? how many are still camber limited when you can change both sway bars?

there are also no camber allowances for solid axle cars...but do they need any?

Both my C4 Corvette and RX-8 would have been faster with more front camber.

i don't see any allowance for 'hacking up the towers". it seems pretty straight forward to lay a stock strut next to any aftermarket one and compare the extended length. The camber plates or strut towers aren't even involved in that measurement. It will be easy to push the top mounting point o...

Today newbie shows up and gets dusted because his stock car does not have "race" rubber and remote shocks - of course has nothing to do with the fact they are new. In 2014 newbie gets dusted because they don't have camber plates, both swaybars upgraded, optimized gearing by tire diameter c...

:shock: Wow. Wheel sizes, camber plates, no remotes but can still use doubles and two years of screwing around with tire changes. :roll: So the perception is saving a few dollars on tires, but spend it now in other places. Good luck with the interpretations of 13.5.A.4 when you are giving people cam...
