914cup 2005
a virtual autocross series.... 914ers are encouraged to participate in their respective autocross series, and report those times back here for a virtual, nationwide 914 autocross competition! How it works: Class your car. Enter an autocross in your area. Compete. Report back the event's TTOD, your fastest time of the day, your class, and some other minor bits of information. Points for your submitted times will be generated and entered into an ongoing series for 2005. At the end of the 2005 season, the best of each competitor's SIX (6) events will be tallied. How do I sign up? go here: http://www.stanford.edu/~neb/914cupmain.htm Rules: -Open to 914's only. -4cyl, 6cyl, SBC conversions, rotary conversions, EV's, tube frame cars, and other customs are welcome to compete. Simply, the car MUST have started its life out as a 914, and retain some spirit of a 914. -Cars will be divided by points into four (4) classes. Competitors are responsible for classing their cars themselves, and for policing each other if necessary. -see below for classing information -Eligible AX's -Only submissions from an official, timed AX event run by a sanctioning body such as PCA or SCCA is eligible. -In order to preserve competition, only AX events with a minimum of 5 total competitors will be eligible. -if 5-10 total competitors, event points will be handicapped by .8 -if 11-15 total competitors, event points will be handicapped by .9 -if 16-20 total competitors, event points will be handicapped by .95 -if 21+ competitors, event points will not be handicapped. -Competitors may enter and submit times from any number of AX events they wish. -AX "training schools" are not eligible. -If a competitor competes in multiple sanctioning bodies (e.g. PCA and SCCA), s/he must account for two seperate entries in 914cup; one for each sanctioning body. In this case, the competitor may submit his/her best series results for end-of-the-year 914cup standings. -Only events held in 2005 will be eligible. Eligible Submissions: -Definition: TTOD here refers to the fastest officially-recognized run by any production-based car. This specifically excludes open-wheeled cars such as SCCA's A-mod or F-SAE classes, as well as (very rarely) some PCA Exhibition-classed cars on a case-by-case basis. -Each competitor must submit their personal fastest official run of the day, as well as the official TTOD for the event. A score will be generated based on a ratio of the TTOD to the competitor's best time multiplied by 100. e.g. if the TTOD is 37.286, and the competitor's best time is 41.615, then the competitor will earn 90 points for that event. (37.286/41.615 = .895975009 * 100 = 89.59 rounded to nearest integer = 90) -This score will then be modified if necessary based upon total number of entries (see above, "Eligible AX's") -TTOD will always be 100 points, except AX events with less than 21 competitors, where TTOD will be either 95, 90, or 80 points (see above, "Eligible AX's") -All submissions shall be Raw Times -- not indexed (i.e. do not submit your PAX results) -Fun runs are not accepted for a competitors best time -All submitted times must be officially recognized by the organization that you run with. -i.e., if a competitor disputes a time with his/her sanctioning body, s/he must nonetheless report the officially recognized time. If such a dispute is resolved in the competitor's favor, s/he may have his/ her score adjusted accordingly. Score Keeping -Scores will be tallied continuously throughout the autocross season. -Scores will be reported in integer form. Only in the event of a season-tie will scores be calculated to the n-th decimal necessary to determine a winner. CLASSES: Competitors must class themselves by adding the following points in tally according to their 914. Competitors may switch classes mid-season, but end of the year standings will be tallied for the highest class that competitor raced in. Backdating (e.g. exhaust, bumpers, doors) is free. Stock = 0-99 points Improved = 100-249 points Modified = 250-349 points Super-Modified = 350+ points Tires Width: 205-width and under = + 0 tirewidth (for 305 and less): (2xx – 205) = penalty points greater than 305 width = 100 penalty points. i.e. : 205 or less = +0 215 = +10 225 = +20 235 = +30 etc.... 305 or greater = +100 Competitors running slicks in non-standard tire size must convert sizes and add points accordingly. http://www.csgnetwork.com/tireinfo4calc.html Type: DOT Street Tires with treadwear rating over 100* = +0 *exception: Falken Azenis = +50 DOT r-compound tires = +100 non DOT tires (slicks) = +150* *Competitors running slicks must run in S-Mod, at a minimum of 350 total points. If the competitor's total class-points do not add up to at least 350 points, they must nonetheless report 350 total points for all purposes of classing. Brakes free all classes Suspension non-stock rear springs/torsion bars +30 fine-adjustable coil spring platforms +10 (e.g. threaded collars or sim.) non-stock sway bar +30 Interior Interior has been substantially gutted and lightened = +20 Race Seat = +10 Body/Frame car has been lightened by replacing body panels or bumpers with non-stock parts (fiberglass, carbon fiber, etc.) = +10 per body panel car has been stiffened by reinforcing suspension points (extra bracing, cage tied into suspension points, etc.) = +20 inner or outer long reinforcement: +5 for cars that have been lightened/stiffened beyond the above: please add points as you deem appropriate. Transmission non-stock gearing = +15 LSD = +40 Engine/Flywheel/Exhaust/Induction/etc. Displacement (4cyl) 1.7 - 1.8 = +0 1.9 = +15 2.0 = +30 2.01-2.2 = +45 2.21-2.4 = +60 >2.4 = +75 Displacement (6 cyl) 2.0 = +45 2.01-2.3 = +60 2.31-2.6 = +75 2.7-2.9 = +90 3.0 = +100 3.2 = +125 3.6+ = +150 Induction (ALL CARS with internal combustion engines):* Stock FI = +0 Stock or non-improved Carbs = +0 Non-stock FI = +15 Non-stock or improved Carbs* = +15 (this includes all dual carbs on T4's) *for conversions such as SBC/rotary: if the induction is an improvement over a common version of your motor (such as a big carb on a V8), add points as as directed. Cams (ALL CARS with internal combustion engines):* stock = +0 non-stock = +20 *for conversions such as SBC/rotary: if the camshaft is an improvement over a common version of your motor, add points as directed. Ignition: free all classes Other: V8 conversion = +70* *Add additional points for induction and cam (etc.) if necessary. Exhaust, including headers, is free. Rotary/Suby conversion = +75* *Add additional points for induction, cam and turbo (etc.) if necessary. Exhaust, including headers, is free. Electric conversion = add "Engine" points as you deem appropriate Other conversion = add points as you deem appropriate Flywheel (All Cars): stock = +0 lightened = +5 Forced Induction (All Cars): car is turbo- or super- charged: +40 Exhaust (All 4cyl and 6cyl): mufflers: free all classes headers: +15 This post has been edited by nebreitling: Mar 28 2005, 12:32 AM |

I think the "super modified" would be more fair.
Anyone running slicks should be there regardless, IMO Change the Modified maximum to 350 pts. or so. |
