IT-level cars coming to a National near you? B Spec Race Cars

Can I wear my firesuit at lunch too?

But you could get sponsorship! You could race national! You could be on TV! You could go professional, cause after all, you'll be supporting pro races and you'll be sure to be picked up!

Or, you could just be driving a 90hp econobox that costs more than a top level IT build and is slower to boot.

[Knestis]

I'd totally do it. They aren't going to be substantially slower than ITB cars, once they are fully developed - probably 5 seconds at someplace like Atlanta, based on what we saw at the ARRC. And more importantly, there should be real racing. I *really* need to get my televised 1985 Laguna Seca Alliance Cup race digitized off of VHS for you to see...

Only if you wear the ripped one so your ass hangs out.

No. Kirk, I really like you, but no. Leave that on VHS and in the 80s.

Settle down Beavis. Nothing to be gained from looking at my ass.

I project the lap times @ Sebring @ 2:52, ITC speeds. or our 500$ Chumpcar speed.

The racing should be very good tho.

The Payout per manufacturer may lead to a concept that has not been seen before; Drafting with aother brand car, to get by the same brand car..

SCCA and modernize dont go well together. The cages are still IT point of contact style cages,(floating).

Only if that suit has huge Porsche emblems festooned everywhere and if you take lunch in downtown Watkins Glen...(or some other downtown)....on a tuesday...

CRB guys. can you look at these points please?

1) All of the cars that have been built , have rolled fenders to clear the tires, just like the rest of the IT cars.
Should it be fixed now as an oversight?.

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

What do you mean? Rocking a Fiat 500 in Bspec totally warrants a Ferrari suit with matching red shoes!

Story time about race suits to lunch.

As most know the ARRC was my first race, well I did the test day Thursday and my co-driver came out to drive the later half and asked if we (myself and my one volunteer crew member of the day lol) wanted to go pickup lunch. 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.

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)
Of course, Kai and Jlo is even more preposterous.
(Had to get that in Kai. )
