Re: Proving Grounds 2012
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?

Re: Proving Grounds 2012
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.

Re: Proving Grounds 2012
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...

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.

Re: Proving Grounds 2012
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.

Re: Proving Grounds 2012
Well I should be there with the race car. If I can get a dog box in the car by then it should put on a good show.

Re: Proving Grounds 2012
Heh, well. Won't be anywhere near stock appearing by the time this rolls around anyhow. Still going to see if my Dad has any interest in bringing my car up there for it.
Might need a good driver to take my car for a run or two down the strip if he does.
I'll be out of the country until 2 weeks or so after Proving Grounds =/

Re: Proving Grounds 2012
I just read the last page of Brads thread and thought the question here was better. So can you run a 16g on a 2g? stock is t-25 which means a t-28 is our only option to be an upgrade. Just wondering cause Ill throw a 16G on my 2.4 and call it a day. LOL

Re: Proving Grounds 2012
We are trying to figure out what is fair between us (I think) and waiting to see what MAP says.
Basically I think its stock appearing for the engine bay so stock manifolds and say TD05/16G style looking turbos should work.

Re: Proving Grounds 2012
You have to think about all the other possible cars too, it isn't the DSM Shootout.

True, I still think they could enforce stock appearing turbo and be good.
