2) "The lower control arm bushings may be replaced with eccentric bushings", how are you going to determine spec?? Either get rid of this rule or spec it.
I am not aware of any eccentric bushings so far, for any of the cars.
3) camber is often taken at the knuckle joint. As easy/cheaper than the slotted tops. This is the typical IT camber correction and well within the rule intention of this class.
Maybe the top strut bolt hole s should be allowed to be slotted?? Otherwise you will have some insert ,with a support bearing that fits inside the stock holes?
Doesnt make engineering sense to complicate a simple matter.
RE the cages; looks like they can not be tabbed to the A pillars or roof,B pillars.
Would structural epoxy stuffed in the A pillars/cage seam, be allowed??
Edit, Ifound one car without rolled rearfenders.
TIA, MM

I asked if they were going somewhere to eat inside or grabbing something in a drive thru as I didn't want to have to undress and redress over and over again. They said drive thru so I said I guess I'd go.
TRICK!
They took me somewhere to eat INSIDE. I argued and argued about it and tried to stay in the car. It didn't work. I ended up walking into a restaurant with my suit on. Words cannot express the embarrassment I felt. It was the worst thing I've ever felt. I felt molested.
Photos popped up on Facebook, I deleted them. lol My face made the reddest apple look white.
The guys that wear suits outside the track drive me insane, it was horrible playing that role. :(
/Story.
Jake... Kai will be with jlo while your in line... :)Quote:

Ha, thats a line I wouldn't be in for a second. I have ZERO interest in her. (Suspending, for a minute that i'm a nerd with a keyboard and me and Jlo is preposterous)Quote:

The chick in that Fiat comercial is match for Sophia Loren back in the day, well, like 3 weeks ago actually. I gotta buy one now!!
Not for nothing, we looked at the Fiat B-spec at PRI and was rather impressed with, of all things, the roominess!!! Sat a 6'2" 210 lbs driver in the car with no issues what so ever!! The seat could go down another inch and a half and back another inch as well.
She is hot.
Look around for contact info on racing the FIAT?? Top secret. same with Ford,
The Mazda 2, has the huge advantage of Mazda Comp,that answers the phone.
Mini has the dealer in the SE that will sell the kits.
Right now; the manufactures that appear to be in, are Mazda, Honda, .
Maybe Fiat,maybe Mini, maybe Ford. "MAYBE" MEANS THAT THEY HAVE NOT ANSWERED any email request for info.
Chevy has not replied at this point.
Nissan and Toyota will have no support @ this point.
For cash payouts, you will need to buy the factory kits for the car of choice.
SCCA has said that the FIAT will not be outclassed.
My reading into that, means that the rest of the cars will be slowed down. Interesting in that the Mazda 2 has no plate, and a good weight. The Fiat will have to weigh about 2000# to run with it.
I should have a car this week.

Ken Grammer has put up a "B-Spec" Forum:
http://www.b-speccars.com/
STill no real news. few contacts. "I know a guy @, but cant say who.."
The only real access is Mazda . They dont have kits ready yet as of 12/17.
The Ford has part #s on the parts site, but must be one guy only in charge, and "he is out of town until Jan 2".
The rumored entry fees are still on the roof for WC @ 2500$ per weekend .
I guess that you have to pay big money to be a "pro". New version of "Pro", is that the race is recorded for later TV at most .
If you win one of the "pro races", you should only be out of pocket about 1000$. Not counting the substantial peripheral fees.
Toyota and Nissan are not involved,as a result you can not enter either in a Grand -Am race.
That about the news for now. I am looking @ Ford , MINI and Mazda for the rental.
The ringer car should be decided by the second race. I will build what ever that is, for the second car.
Come on spammer, at least put a p*rn link in your spam. Kids these days can't do anything right.
