Mike - If you want to drive an STU prepped C5 we can definitely make that happen

yes, please explain the phobia...

Why?

I'm glad I don't have to buy that size.. :shock: Those aren't even big enough for my land yacht. The Star Spec IIs do not come in any sizes that are large enough, in fact. Really? The star spec and rs3 both run pretty big and I can find sizes for my Zed. The 275 star spec is just as wide (tread and...

It's not voodoo so it's probably 6 of one and half a dozen of another thought depending on car one usually has better options for compatibility with both stock and 2.5" springs. FWIW: I had GC plates front and rear on my STi. I loved the range of adjust ability, they "added travel" an...

^ Would have like that option last year

@Nathan...before buying any new tires, consider looking at SCCA Solo National Championship (or ProSolo) results. Its a wealth of information on not only the competitiveness of certain cars in certain classes nationally, but what is this years "must have" tires for street tire or "r-c...

Great event, lot's of track time with some big rigs that run 16 sec 1/4 miles. In years past I've made 10+ passes I know a few cdc regulars are already signed up and I'd encourage anyone who wants to make some passes down the strip without the hustle and bustle of a street night or long lines of a t...

Awesome pictures, thanks Don!

FYI the FAQ section of the website could use some house cleaning due to this rule change. All of the barcodes with a 6 for HP can be removed and the 1.04 multiplier listed for over 350hp needs to be removed from the list in the FAQ.

If you care or ever will care about SCCA the diff will make a difference. STR vs STS My 1.6L miata had the viscous rear diff which are known to stop working. I also drove a 1.8L with an open diff at a few events. I much prefered the 1.8L. Both had the same Andy Hollis style suspension setup koni's, ...

Make sure the Sunday course is just as good.....please

I no longer have a dog in this fight, but Organizers should know the rules:

1DOT approved street tires will have a treadwear rating of 140 or greater
2As measured at the driven wheels
3Curb weight without driver or passenger(s) onboard

Thats copy n paste from the FAQ

What was the decision here?

I've proposed a spirit of the rules SCCA index in the "changes for next year" thread on this forum for at least the last 3 years. The first 8 cars in index points (maybe more?) are prepped to an SCCA class, run SCCA events, and may or may not make good cars for their class. The CDC index i...

Since people wanted numbers: In 2010 Wade finished 4th in index points and I was 3rd. It was a 2 point margin. Remove the 1.04 index and wade would have been 3rd in points that year based on the Jul 31 results alone. In 2011 it would have made no difference, too many drops and AJ and myself captured...

This thread has become a bit of nonsense.... Really this only affects Wade (maybe) and Ben. Right? Larry, Jen, and Mike are organizers, Fast Fred is under 350 already and Bishop bought one of those voodoo magic AWD rides. Wade removed the blower so it may or may not affect him next season. So really...

Fred is suddenly the defender of all things cdc in 2012? new year's resolution?

Another event had to be canceled. So, what is the decision here? Will the championship be based on 800 points, 700? We have no choice but to drop 8 events, since that is what we said at the beginning of the season. We will contact Harry Grove this week to see if they will credit us another weekend....

Simple really. If you care about points and read the rules change thread you knew from the begining of the year that the championship would be based on 800 points (16 events - 8). So just keep the championship to 800 points and the problem is solved. So either drop 7 with the current schedule or dro...

I second that motion ^

There are only 15 with the one Hylton event getting cancelled. Seems silly to drop over half. I think 4 would be good. ;) Yes, we drop 8 events this year. Actually, we have 16 points event this year. The Hylton event was re-scheduled not cancelled. I ran out of fingers, but I think I counted correc...

Mike, We're dropping 8 this year right?

http://capitaldrivingclub.com/forum/vie ... =11&t=1073

So with 16 events the max point total should be 800? I think the current results need to drop 1 more?
