nope. good question though, i'll clarify that in the rules. the bilsteins's height adjustment is terribly crude, no way you could corner balance off that. we're talking threaded collars or similar here. paul: looks awesome. |

Been out of town a bit, just catching up on this thread. Looking at the points totaling more closely, my car #2, borrowed from a friend, was calculated wrong.
180 tires 23 x 15 x 9 slicks 70 suspension 30 interior 20 body- cage 150+ body- lightened/missing panels 55 trans 75 2.45 4 cyl 15 carbs 20 cam 5 flywheel 15 headers. total 635. I have never driven anything so beasty. Hope I don't suck to badly. Friend is buying car from owner in TX, we expect delivery end of feb, into march. He wants it in the paint shop asap so it'll be looking good for the season- I'll see if I can post a few before/after photos when its in MN/WI. By the way, color is to be.... yellow. Any change in point totals for that? List master- please update the point totals. I expect Rob, who I do not think is active on this list, may be wanting to sign up in his new 914 as well. I'll get after him when things slow down for the both of us and the car is here and ready to go, and have him pick a screen name and sign up for the cup. Thanks again! David Parsons OttoX914 |

We need to get these rules finalized. Then, I can spend some time discovering the loopholes. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif)

Avatars Mode: OFF because of the recalcitrant few. Group: Benefactors Posts: 767 Joined: 8-January 03 From: Georgia Member No.: 110 |
I'm In,
Help me out here, SCCA Street Prepared is what Stock or Improved? (I think stock for my car anyway, only reason it is SP is removal of the air injection and backadated HE's. I think it would be helpful to relate 914 cup classing to SCCA and PCA classing. Re. LSD: Keep the extra points for LSD I agree Re. the number of events: For the highest number of people to be able to participate, I think that it should be kept low. Here in New England, we have a short season usually six to seven months. Most organizations around here only run once a month. I agree Re. carbs: Yes. Points for carbs on 4-cylinder cars. I'm not sure about non-stock carbs on stock 6-cylinder cars. I agree on the 4. I think the 6 should be able to use any stock carb or fuel injection with no penalty. Re. min. # of total entries for an event to count: Lower the number of entries to ten. Then, if less than ten cars run, hit 'em with an handicap. I'm not sure I have an Opinion, the last Auto-X I was at here has ~ 150 entries. Re. EV's : I think we should reserve the right to retroactively deduct points from Otmar if we find that he is consistently kicking out butts. I think if everyone else is going to be on the honor system of classifying their car, so should he. Re. a dual entry (e.g. one for PCA/one for SCCA): If we allow dual entries, the points should never be mixed. If you declare upfront that you will be running one PCA and one SCCA, you can't at a later time take the highest six (or whatever number) from both groups. However, if you don't declare that you are running with two or more separate groups, your highest six (or whatever number) will be your points. I agree Re. TTOD set by open-wheeled formula cars: Production cars only. I agree, But this may be problematic, AFAIK SCCA does not specify that FTD is a production car or not. I assume that this will mean me looking through the results and picking the Fastest Production car, if FTD is run by a F440, or FV or Formula SAE as is usual. It won't be published as "Official FTD - Production car" though. |

BUMP!
okay, i know some of you guys are downright horny for this thing to be finalized (trekkor (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beer.gif) ), but it's going to be another week. DON'T WORRY -- IT WILL HAPPEN we can do it fast, or we can do it right... seeing as how most AX seasons haven't begun yet, there wouldn't be many results to view anyway. i know, however, that some of your seasons have already begun -- that's alright, just hang on to your results! we're going to try to keep get this thing as automated as possible. you will all owe Andy a beer after this. |

I'm gonna get a late start, but I'll be there for the finish (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif)
Got a call from Mr. Sheridan today. My *8 lb* hoods are OTW. He says he now makes em' from a good percentage of CF to stiffen the outside edges. He obiviously takes pride in his work and does all his own lay-up. Pics to follow. Got a line on some VERY light not-for-road 16 X 10 wheels. I'll paint the car on the weekend of 5 March. I'm going to the SCCA kickoff party this weekend....it just happens to be at a spot that sells Hoosiers.(insert money flying away smiley) Assuming all goes well, I just *might* make the SCCA AX on March 19/20....but I'm not putting any money on it. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) This sucker better be fast or I'm gonna give my long suffering wife the opportunity to take me out before I cut my wrists. |
