So a current NASA TT license is sufficient for driving experience to run in the Time Attack? Looks like the classes are coming together pretty well; hopefully the dates work out for me so i can make the trip out there.

 

Spring Mountain Sept 22-23rd ----My Vote goes here.

I dont see it fair to have cars like the GSC EVO, AMS TT, ROBI's Car or god knows who else will show up. in the same class as say a DD car running a bigger Turbo. these cars need to be seperated. i think they should be unlimited. the CyberEVO and the XS Car, if they are out there they should be in the same class. I know the HKS car is pushing the limits of the class with all the carbon and so is the COBB car. the Cyber evo and XS car for what i have seen are as much an unlimited car as ours. the COBB and HKS Car is a whole nother beast. with the carbon body on the HKS Car, and larger motor in the COBB car along with the carbon. I say run a Minimum Weight limit in the Unlimited class of say 2500lbs

 

Some good points greg. We could run the three class and allow those two cars to run exibition.

A NASA TT license or any other competition license is perfect

 

How about this? I could also take out the wide body for modified class

Assuming Nitto is still on board, which I think they are, there will also still be the Spec NT-01 Prize for the fastest car runing NT-01 tires. You will have to be in one the the first to classes to be eligible for this.

 

Also, AMS and GSC...how heavy are your cars? I would like to up that weight limit for unlimited if possible

Track is looking mroe and more like SMMP. We should have this set this week

 

rules look good IMO.

what's the rule on a bolt in cage for unlimited?

 

I am going to have to change that roll cage rule in unlimited. I put that there when it was all out cars runing full slicks and crazy power. Basically now, if you car is legal for NASA TT safety wise, its legal for us. So for all tech and safety rules, check www.NASA-TT.com

 

car is 2750 w/o driver.. i say get rid of the "No use of ballast to meet restriction" i think a min weight is good if you want equal cars and some good competition.

 

I was trying to avoid certain 2200lb cars from backing their way into that class by adding ballast

 

Sept 22+23 @ Spring Mountain Motorsports Park it is

 

How about limiting Street class even further with the following:
Must have stock engine, must keep internals stock
Must use street tires with a tread rating of 140 or above, No R-comps allowed
Must use stock turbos
Must use pump gas, max of 94 oct
Must have a cat/HFC

Thoughts?
I would love to be able to attend this even if it is just to watch ...

 

AMS car is 2785 or so currently i think... and will probably lose some more weight before next year kicks off.

 

The stock internals isnt bad, but I think i may just limit it to stock compression/displacement.

I put the 100 tread wear tires because we want as many people as possible to run Nitto NT-01 tires for the spec nt-01 challenge. Other wise the 140 street tire is the way we would have gone.

Stock turbo is hard because it very difficult to verify, so we just say externally stock

Pump gas is also hard to verify, hoever it is easy to tell if its leaded

Most people do not have cats, so that would take out a lot of people

 

I really want to participate however Im setting my car up for the Redline (Street Class) Time Attack series and the 255 width is killing me. I will be running Bridgestone Potenza RE-01R and they are 265/35/18. Also the two way adjustable damping is way to low ... who runs two way coilovers ... all the basic coilovers that most people buy like the Tein and such are way over two way adjustable. My coliovers are 4 way and that super low.
