Cal Club Autocross Forums

I'm putting this note in both the E-board and public forums, so people in need can access this info. We use a Quest 2100 sound meter and have one of the extension cables; I believe the ICM-50. This is the same meter used by SCCA National. Our extension cable is damaged - one of the ends was torn off...

I believe the software is what costs 7500 bucks. I have no direct experience with reflashing an abs module but it can be done. So back to a big price tag.... I've used the software with the race ABS module. It works very well considering you can alter just about any parameter.... So yeah, back to y...

I'll add that lifting at the meter doesn't quiet your car for the remaining 99%+ of the course, so if your car actually *is* too loud you could easily be the guy getting us kicked out from the venue. That's firmly in the Not Cool camp, both for you and for us. So no, I'm not in favor of "just l...

Hi folks, I'll be there on the 4th with my Mustang & want to be prepared with solutions if it's too loud. For the side pipes, I can reinstall the factory baffle plates or cap the tips with metal/silicone sheet held on with band clamps. For the exhaust tips, I'm thinking of rolling up coarse ste...

In addition, the class has to meet section 7.2 requirements for the events you attend: 7.2 CLASS Separate Classes exist for women that choose to participate in Ladies classes. For the purposes of Regional Championship Points Calculations: a. An Open Class consists of a minimum of three drivers. b. A...

He requested this months ago during a Board meeting and the Board decided it was reasonable to grant an exception for it.

Aaron, 93 dB at 50' is moderately, but not crazily, quiet. If you have a large V8 and put on an exhaust that allows you to enjoy the sound more, you may be on the edge. If you do the same on a turbocharged car, it's rarely a problem. For example I was co-driving a friend's FRS last year and I think ...

You can, but you should keep in mind that there isn't any security on-site for us. Anyone walking down the street can step right onto the property, and anyone driving down the street can drive on. My suggestion is to use the buddy system and some carefully selected locks. Lock as many trailers toget...

In addition to Anthony's comments, we generally want to capture sound at the "loud" point on course so to the extent possible, we'll measure it where drivers are generally full throttle and in the upper rev ranges. Full throttle at 1200 rpm doesn't usually reveal much about how loud a car ...

Heads up for everyone: the MSR event will be live shortly - likely within 15-20 minutes.

Marshall, is the Porsche ABS computer a standalone unit? Or is it built into the pump?

That may be the Droid I want for the M3...

Like I said George: there's nothing we can do to make everyone happy. The poll we sent out has shown the majority of our respondents prefer a straight points event or a points event with an extra drop (the latter was the leader.) We need to prove we are a "good tenant." Hosting a school or...

<t>Doug, I understand your points and agree. Unfortunately there's nothing we can do to make everyone happy, so the best alternative is adding the drop. Perhaps that can be refined to *only* drop this event if the member doesn't run, minimizing - though not eliminating - the effect of an extra drop....

Please write in, but know that NO traction and ABS is basically the current rule, unless you already have them on the car, from the factory. This causes the problem. I don't think we can reasonably say "you have to delete these things that are already on your car" and conversely (some of) ...

I'm well out of the loop on the SEB side of things, but perhaps Marshall could chime in here and explain some of the background for consideration. I know that Prepared has been... "stable" (to use a positive term) on their ruleset, but when someone in an OE car comes in and romps on people...

Small teaser, but "this may be the last event before Nationals" may not be technically correct. Stay tuned...

Subject to change on Saturday if groups need balancing. You will be notified by email if a change is made.

Rick, I'm getting a "Connection was reset" error message on that. Is the link still supposed to be live?

First, welcome to the region! The Seattle group is probably one of the best in the country, but saddled with some venues that are looooong drives from the major city center. If you haven't already checked it out, be sure to peruse our New to Autocross forum. There are lots of good posts there that s...

Tim, I'll add one more thought: when you ran with us before you had to buy a Weekend Membership. If you saved the form for that or have the ID number for it, that should qualify you for a discount on your regular SCCA membership. So see if you can find the info on that if you'd like to save some mon...

I'm not familiar with the latest 200 TW hotness, but others here are and you can probably also get to the Grassroots Motorsports (GRM) tire comparison and see what fits your budget / performance goals. I will say, though, that if you really mean "track" in that statement above, that's a di...

Hi all, just did my first autoX this weekend (non-SCCA), and am looking to get more involved. My current setup is: 2015 NC Miata PRHT Tein Flex Z Coilovers Adj Front & Rear Sway Bars Full Exhaust - Header, Midpipe with Cat, Muffler Tuned ECU 17x9 wheels w/ 245/40-17 Firehawk Indy500 (340TW). Li...

It's so old I doubt any sanctioning bodies would accept that as "safe" today...

A couple refinements on Shane's post: We - well the Solo Events Board which oversees the National rule set - increased the wheel offset allowance to 7mm, so there's a little more wiggle room in your choice. For those who don't speak metric, that accommodates +/- 1/4". Tire requirements are 200 ...

Bill, you should be able to check the status and renew online if you'd like, otherwise I'd call HQ in the morning and ask them for assistance.

How did it work for you Fred? I'm not a FWD person, but it seems to me you want to be on the gas a lot earlier coming out of turns in FWD than RWD. How was the throttle response on your car? I haven't driven one yet, but it seems like they should be getting to the point where these F.I. cars don't s...
