I would tend to think so, but front mounts haven't been disallowed in the past, nor are larger ones disallowed on Evos, etc.

Question: Are the security issues going to fixed this year? By issues I mean over-involvement in basic activities (like going for walks) and exceptionally rude attitudes?

People are complaining about tubular manifolds and stock appearing turbos having made it through last year even with Jordan in the tech lane.

So you're saying you (MAP) had not intended on teching, but BIR's staff was just late on the scene?

I also quite like Brad's idea of having a basic tech, then a class tech controlled by the event organizers.

x2, that should speed things up I would think. Let BIR do what they are good at (or at least what they have a clue about) then let MAP put them in their respective classes.

No I'm thinking the AWD cars need 67mm to run with those 62mm Hondas!

Mike, If you have nothing smart to say then say nothing at all.

This. I know some shit went down this past year that I only heard mention of, but security were flat-out dicks to some of us, especially compared to last year (2010) when they were over-the-top cool. Less mall-security-vs-skater-punk and more friendly-peacekeeper please.

Just get a DJ that doesn't play shitty music and isn't 17.

For racing, have you looked at other established events and maybe use a some of their format?

what about some index classes for those that aren't 62mm or stock appearing?

turbotalon1g · 12-10-2011

Stock appearing shootout rules:
Three rules for this class.
All body panels must be run.
The turbo on your 1g/2g DSM MUST appear to be a stock turbo for ANY 1G OR 2G DSM and NO nitrous.

GENERAL RULES
-NO nitrous allowed in any class except for TT, B1, B2 and Quick.
-DSE, ESA and EE are classes designed for street cars. These classes are required to run: mirrors, headlights, wipers, full body panels, full interior and full exhaust,
-Full interior includes EVERYTHING except for the trunk area. If you have a roll bar/cage that makes it impossible to re-install the back seats or some interior trim pieces that is OK.

I like your ideas, just got a few other things on my plate at the moment sir. I'll certainly reference this when we finalize the classes this year.

Me too, about 95% sure I am going to be doing the road track over drag this year. Somebody needs to call my car a 'janky piece of shit' again so I can get all pissy and motivated to put in the wrench work...

BriK · 12-13-2011

Sorry I'm a little late to this thread.

FWIW, the Zamp FSA-2 is a full-face, SA2010 approved helmet which retails for ~$170. Some vendors on eBay sell it a bit cheaper; some even have the "Make Offer" option and rumor has it they accept offers of around $115 or $120.

It won't even get to that point, he'll forget to put a fan on it and it'll overheat and blow up in traffic on the way up.
