Re: F125 is not in CPM or did I miss ---

It's not like you guys are running head to head. each class has a roughly appropriate index to correct for the performance differential. It seems somewhat odd to me that we actually track CPM as a class for points considering it's not a real class by national or local rules. Agreed., take the GP ca...

Re: F125 is not in CPM or did I miss ---

Don, what do you feel is bad/unfair about karts in CPM? Eric, they are not in the class by the rules ! Don OK, so you're not conceptually against karts in the class. Your only problem is that karts are not specifically called out in 7.x.x.x. Explain to me why is it acceptable for you to choose to m...

Re: F125 is not in CPM or did I miss ---

The idea behind a prepared or modified car is exactly that... to prepare and modify a stock bodied car, or build one up from scratch to be competitive within a certain set of guidelines. For prepared yes. For modified no. Many of the mod classes are based on purpose built road racing cars, BM (Form...

Re: F125 is not in CPM or did I miss ---

All very good points! Seems to me that CPM is the Rodney Dangerfield Class, that is, come see me when you have no class. Since there are no rules for this class yet I think somebody needs to propose some. Till then what? I don't anticipate F125 being a class this year. That would leave Rick a man w...

Re: F125 is not in CPM or did I miss ---

By the supps there is no CPM class. According to the supps the two GP drivers should be reclassed to GP, the two EP drivers are stuck in EP and the three F125 drivers have to go back to playing with themselves. OR, we could all unbunch our panties and play nice together. I kinda think it's funny th...

Re: F125 is not in CPM or did I miss ---

SCCA classes F125 as a Modified Category class. When we first started and didn't have the numbers we would get put in with other Modified vehicles at ProSolo, precedent set. Eric is running CPM since he will likely be driving Robert's FF at times. Since he and Jon were in CPM I chose to run there, ...

F125 has never been in CPM, as far back as I could find. I also checked the minutes for the past Sept, Oct, Nov and Jan and there was no mention. The event registration had F125 in run group 5 not 4 with us. Did Rick decide to change the classes. I thought for sure Christine would catch it and pull ...

Re: 2011 El Toro Pro Solo 4/8-4/10

Joel, swapping the engine puts you in XP or a modified class, over 2.0l is EM. So look up the Prepared (Section 17) rules and then go to App. A for the weight and other requirements for XP. The same follows for the Modified classes, Section 18, Appendix A for the weight and other requirements. Both ...

The strap will work, maybe---alot of pulling on a motor that has not been run in a couple of years or so :?: :?: . I jumped the battery with a car battery or a battery charger (can't remember which) to turn it over when I started it... The Burris battery is really dead!!

Kurt, it is very easy to patch f-glass, get a bondo kit from Pep Boys or the like. I may also have the brackets that are needed to support that seat, I'll look.

If the course was all one speed I can see that being less fun, but that's certainly better than the tight corners followed by open section courses that rewards having power and doesn't emphasize driving skill. For the civic's, I bet it was nearly all one speed!! For QV and I it was close to being a...
