As I stated in my letter, the parity you seek can't be achieved by whole sale changes based off of vehicle architecture. Thank you for the polite reply, but it appears you're not ready for the...
That's ok because I'll buy you a Beer over Authentic Mexican food in Monterey.
Then you have STU's 50lb weight break for solid rear axle cars, and 50lb weight penalty for alternate rear suspension for solid axle/semi-trailing arms. Seems it's already in writing. It seems...
EP has the perfect example in three cars that share the same displacement motors, the e36 sedan/Z3/and Z4
e36 325 sedan - 2525lbs
e36 Z3 2.5l - 2450lbs -> 75lbs lighter
Z4 2.5l ...
This points to the failure of the straight weight/displacement method of determining competitiveness. So, I'd argue that other than classing the not otherwise classed, it's time to move on to spec...
Greg will get the chance to race a fast CRX at the runoffs, although when I talked to Paul at his first race with us he was running a 1.6 dual cam. But he was competitive with the best of the...
So if I do better than the 328 sedan would that be because I'm a 2-seat sports car, or because I have the same head/intake manifold/throttle body and he's saddled with an extra 330lbs for the extra...
I'm just looking to do the best I can, there are actually two S2000 to watch for. While Rylan scored the #1 spot in the Majors, he doesn't hold the lap record for STU at MRLS. That belongs to...
But in the end what Sports/GT type cars are being a problem in STL? I'd contend it's not a Z3, S2000, or even a NSX, if there's only one or two Sports/Gt cars being an issue then why throw all the...
FYI, here's the thread on the Prod party. Rogerson and I will both be there as well as several GTL guys such as (former ITB) Tim Linerud.

I'm going by the number of racers who will be at the runoffs because there are a number that qualified outside the Majors path. As for what would happen if STU were to go the way of STO. I could...
Preface that I'm not a cage builder. But, I have done a lot of welding close to things that need protection so I do have experience with this. Buy one of those kevlar welding blankets at your...
I wouldn't be so pessimistic about STU's future. Sure the majors participation isn't as high as it had been in the past, but we're already at 11 STU cars signed up and I'm sure there's at least a...
I see you're in Greg. Are you racing the same motor you had last season? Also in is Tim Linerud, in the GTL Rabbit, and Rylan Hazelton in his STU S-2000.
Sounds about right. Current race lap records at MRLS:
ITR
1:43.359
77.94
JOSH SIROTA
CUPERTINO, CA
99 BMW
I'd argue, rather successfully I might add:rolleyes:, that the passenger volume of a car without a roof is essentially infinite. With Special Me specifically called out as being included in both STL...
Aka: The rules are what they are, until they're not.
Sew two old T-shirts together with a few pockets to hold ice packs ($1 ea at Walmart) and for less than $5 you're got a cool shirt that you can change out the packets for frozen ones. It's enough to...
By that reason, the 325's M20 normally called 2492cc motor is actually a 1247cc's because that's what it uses in one revolution of the crank, so it's STL legal then :lol:
The vast majority of SM guys in STL out here are there because they won't get enough points to qualify in SM for the Runoffs. So to qualify for a class, any class, they can race in and earn a decent...
Thanks Greg. I thought it might just be, "just racing".
I saw that as well, haven't had anything from Kirk's facebook feed yet either.
I love my full length wink mirror. From my first weekend in the car, I was able to spot when Andy Porterfield's GT-1 Camero was about to pass. To clear blind spots with the hard top, and no side...
MGB is in ITB but only from '68-'80, this one is a '63.
Uh, you should know this but e-30 chassis is '85-'91 so it is (no debate) ST legal. I remember reading the Road&Track where the e-30 was...
