Re: RFK stadium
They weren't interested in hosting auto-x events for a long time. After the global RC event they held there some people inquired into holding autocrosses. Basically what it came down to is it's expensive and the insurance required is also very high.

Re: Proposed alternative CDC index system, XLS linked
But this takes away my index advantage in the mini that weighs 2504lbs and makes 198whp
It's a good idea but I'm not sure how realistic is is to implement. People aren't going to know exact whp or weight measurements for their car so what do you do for those?

Re: Ideas for the 2015 Season
Here is a thought that might accommodate the afternoon and morning concept: Like how Autocrossers Inc does it on their double days, make every day a morning and afternoon session, i.e. making each day "two" events. Sign up for the one you want, or both, and come get your 4 runs in the hal...
Re: TIRES
I ordered some Xida (gen 2)'s with 800 / 500 lb springs. Just need to wait several months for them to be built. :-( Hopefully they won't be too stiff, but we'll see. Regarding CSP vs. DP, I have a moral objection to adding an interior to a beautiful stripped car just to meet CSP rules... but I migh...
Re: TIRES
sounds like the rs3 is the way to go, good price point and high grip. Just keep in mind the RS-3 sidewalls are a little squishy. They are a great tire if you can properly support them with a wide wheel but on a car that pinches tires and is kind of front heavy I'd lean more towards the Z2. The stif...

Re: Selecting differential ratios
If you haven't read this little CVD bit by Jason Rhoades (multiple time national auto-x champ) then it would be good. This part is about acceleration and showing how it isn't ultimate power/weight that affects acceleration but also gearing. He has a spreadsheet where you can plug in FD ratios and se...

Best bet would probably to buy a spec miata or maybe spec e30. Probably going to cost around $10k That said, I have a 94 miata in decent condition that I wouldn't mind getting caged. I don't have the money for it this year though, dumping it all into the FR-S. It hasn't seen a track day, but it wou...

Re: Rivals or ZII's
I ran shaved pixie dust R1Rs in 2011 and 2012. Switched to Rivals for 2013. Mistake! Back to R1Rs for 2014. This^ Z2's will not outperform rivals in the heat. We spray our Z2s heavily when it's hot and they hold up fine. I was never a fan of all the noise the Rival makes. I guess I could get used t...

Re: New Changes for the 2014 Season
rules look good. just out of curiosity, are hoosiers really only worth 1 second on a 40 second course versus 200 treadwear tires? I think you'd be surprised. The new crop of tires (rivals, Z2s, etc) are really fast. The data I've seen has them coming pretty close to matching Hoosier levels of grip ...
