SCCA Oct Fastrack
Let the ruminations commence:
http://www.scca.com/documents/Fastra...ck-oct-bod.pdf My comment? RX8 is now in STX with 265s. Just give me my jacket now. (I think this is what I'm gonna do next year if I can unload my truck.) --kC BUY MY TITAN!

ITR in DS no more.... I fail to see why there was a need to bury the car that was an easy 50% of the DS field at nats this year.

So, the 135i and E46 M3 are now in STU and can use 285s.

Allegedly, the SEB made a mistake in sending some things to the BOD, and the BOD, as usual, made a blanket approval without knowing.

I thought I'd heard something about that. I'll bite my tongue for the time being, but at least 1 of the proposed moves makes no sense. Putting a FWD car into a "sports car" class so that it doesn't taint the class for RWD saloon's is puzzling at best. The Mini is just as quick as the R, put the R in GS again if you're gonna move it!
Thank god I'm not one of the black helicopter crew or I'd think BMW has paid off the SCCA again. HS, GS, SM, and potentially DS would be BMW classes. What other make is "the car" for that many classes? |

Edit: Well, not SM so much anymore. That is the AWD class...

Getting rid of the single turbo only language was good, I wonder if a Supra could actually do anything in STU?
RX-8 + 265 = time to let the 2.5 WRXs in. |

Hardly a clarifichange. I remember putting the turbo heat shield back on Keith's car back in his STX days (didn't make it back on by accident during the down pipe install IIRC, then when noticed was put back on to make the car legal). The turbo has never been considered part of the exhaust in Solo rules context and similarly the turbo heat shield is as much a part of the exhaust as the throttle body.

My comment? Inspect your brake lines carefully, traitor
Well, if you win nats, maybe the AWD cars can at least get 9" wheels to legitimately run 245's. Quote:

Are heatshields changes allowed in ESP? IIRC, the rules state that heat shields may be removed but someone mentioned that because it touches the engine it was part of the engine?
EDIT: So, these changes are all approved now? So I can change calipers and rotors in ESP? I like how they changed the working for brake ducts to eliminate the "must be ina forward position only" wording that no one could explain to me. Too bad I just bought some 4000 series DBA's as it looks like 2 piece Al hat rotors are now allowed. Looks like pitch mounts can be changed to anything as long as they retain the same type (ie piston vs solid rod). Last edited by Mechie3; 09-23-2008 at 04:46 PM. |

Man, if all that stuff gets approved, I can see a good 90% of the existing GS cars (flipping through the rule book) should then get moved down to HS....if they can't compete with a 200hp LSD turbo MINI with wide tires, how can they compete with even more hp/tire/brakes with roughly the same weight?
Letters starting now....how about the 2.5RS in HS? Yeehaw! |

Well crap. I've been running w/o one for two years now and with the TXS TMIC, you can't. I'm assuming that I can remove it to allow fitment for the TMIC?? {crosses fingers} |
