my car isnt really dialed in for one specific event. Its just dialed in for the street I guess lol.

My car is setup well for auto x just the driver isn't.
I may have missed it but is full exhaust required for max effort?

 

The only rules for Max Effort are listed on page 1. Pretty cut and dry as far as rules go.

 

David, I'm planning on running the EE class with my car. It has full interior and exterior, with the exception of the two drip panels or trim strips (whatever people call them) that run along from front to back of the car. Is that ok? One of them flew completely off @ 140+, the other bent in half at the track. I'm afraid I won't have time to get those replaced.

 

I'd say no you can't, that should put you into the Q16 class :].

 

You really think so? Car is no where near fast enough to be in the Q16 class, i would not bother entering that class. Its a street car and has everything required except for those trim panels... waste of money to buy more as they'll probably get destroyed again. It used to be a salvage car, so some areas that the clips attach too are non-existent

 

I'm just kidding around with ya! I'd bet $1k there will be no issue.

 

I highly doubt that. those panels are notorious for lifting at high MPH. there will be other evos with them missing or damaged.

i had to replace the entire driver side on my car. plus they weight next to nothing.

 

when you're there look at other evos you'll see missing panels or damaged.. they are a crappy design the wind gets up under the front plastic pieces and it flys off around 130-140mph after so many times..

i used stronger clips on mine and it has been ok since.. but its a dumb design.

 

Haha, ya I know. I think this is our 10th year out (maybe more?). You see all kinds of little things missing. When it comes down to it, if it's something small like this, it's never an issue. If you roll into EE with non-DOT tires, that's a different story. I remember a while back when there was discussion around the carpet trunk covers being required in 1Gs for certain classes. That was near impossible to find (at least used)!

I'm excited for this year, should be a great time. Where all are folks staying at?

 

My friends and I are staying at the track. Can't wait.

 

It's going to be a great time for sure!!

 

I will let it slide on those pieces of trim. I have no idea how they could fly off, my car has been to probably 170 mph multiple times and our black car is verified over 170 mph and neither have ever lost them.

 

Hopefully we will be able to see results close to real time this year. It's painful sitting back not knowing what is going on!
