Yes, simply rule. But what does mean, in terms of compliance and enforcement?
I jumped into this old thread, because i had people that were arguing that "similiar" meant very little (valid...
You are right, the rule is an AND. The rule applies to both the amp-hour and weight of the battery. We are focusing on the weight portion here (if you didn't notice). Which is the portion that is...
Yes, i know the process. However, that is not the direction i am going here.
It is obviously that the intent of the rule was that batteries are restricted to w/in a few pounds of the original...
So, what is the official word? It seems like "similar" is way too nebulous. How is the OEM battery weight determined, since most OEM specs will not designate the weight?
Seems like this either...
I agree. It doesn't make sense at all to put them in their own class, since all the other things are much more variable and indicative of their performance. ie, hp, weight, handling, aero, etc. So,...
Yes, but i thought he eased up enough to allow for the early apex, and only blew it when he tried to accelerate too early out of the exit.
I just looked at the pressure that a leak down tester works at, from what i can tell, they are used at around 90-150psi. So, to get the same result, all i need to do is do a normal compression check,...
Also, anyone know what a duke based fiero normally should run for compression, in psi?
Yes, Pennock's is the best Fiero forum on the web (though their forum software leaves a bit to be desired). Posted there...i'll see what they say.
Did the latter (spin the engine w/ starter...
Sorry, forgot to mention. Yes, the #1 and #3 plugs had a good amount of white on them (tho only on one side of them), which is also why i suspected coolant. But again, i don't think blown head gasket...
Hi all, I have a bit of white smoke on my Fiero. It doesn't smoke when idling, but after idling a bit, if i rev it i get a good puff of white smoke. Smaller amount if i rev after not allowing it to...
From my read, when the rule says that the "body outline does not include bumpers or bumper mounts", it means an old style (chrome) separated bumper. In fact, the rule clearly states an exception for...
You got it exactly Jake. And yes, ITE should work for us. We might also try to schedule it around a historic event the week before or after, to optimize their time down here. Thanks for all the...
Wow...i didn't realize ITE was soo wide open. Exactly what i want...just safety. SFR ITE rules:
ITE – Improved Touring E
The only IT rules that apply to ITE are those listed below.
1. Any tub...
Right, vintage would be easy for the 850. Only problem is we were looking to both race...preferably SCCA.
Thanks Josh, yes ITE is a possibility. They had 8 cars over 1:50 at the last laguna...
Hi all, my brother is racing a 850 spider in historics and conf (ICSCC) in the n/w, and he wants to come down to race at least one race in california. However, i have yet to find a *single* class...
I think your key word there is "all". You don't move all the ITB cars to ITC, and don't kill *all* the ITC. You move the slow ITB cars to C and you obsolete the slowest C cars (ones not raced...
I agree w/ the comments that whether we move cars down or add a new class, it is basically the same. And, YES, Andy, the moving down approach does mean obsoleting *cars* in C, but Greg's point is...
Yes, it is just you. I put the "going to be about 32%" in quotes, because it was an exact quote from YOU.
I have to agree w/ Andy here. They made a decision based on the knowledge they had. That is all we can ask. They thought that the dx engine could do 35%, and now we have an example that is "going to...
I got that same jack. It was the only one i could find quickly that would fit under they car. I like the lightweight'ness of it, but don't know how long it will last. I've only used for 3 races, and...
Exactly my point. I can do it at the track, but it puts a strain on already minimal budget and crew (crew, what crew? ;).
Dave, yes, yes, and yes.
Proof is needed. Open up that contingency form that Andy posted the link to.
And the verification doesn't need to be an SCCA official, and SCCA may or may not be happy...
Oh, and here is the list of race-tire dealers/distributors:

I just got an email from Jeff at Hankook. He says he knows of no one, other than Tire-Rack doing the heat-cycling service.
He also says that they did NOT buy into SCCA doing the sticker/tire...
