um, i dont exactly get the points system, is it a handicap? sorry, not really familiar with road racing stuff. Want to learn tho.

Time Attack = time trial
One at a time, against the clock. Practice all day, timed runs in the afternoon. |

Looks like one badass event to me.
Hopefully there will be picture/video coverage. |
Updates to rule set. See OP

Somehow in every single one of these classing systems my daily-driven car ends up in Unlimited/SuperModified/HolyFuckYouOwnAMoneyPit. :bang: I am going to try to make it out to this, depends on my tire/$$$ situation.

R-comps +6. 8" wheels+2. Suspension +2. Turbo +4. Intake +1. Megasquirt +1. Exhaust +1. That's 17 points right there!
There are no points added for stripping/ lightening the car. Where are the points you get back for not having stripped and lightened it?!? Working AC, power windows, power steering, cruise, carpet, seats, etc. should all be worth something back! |
Cue, those are NASA rules, this is different I suppose, made up by local racers maybe?
Wish we had shit like that closer to home... |

We need this event at Road Atlanta in the spring. I'd be there.

Yes I am a dreamer! |
This sounds awesome! I'll probably be there representing street class unless I somehow miraculously get my turbo on by then.

are drivetrain mods penalised?
my slow-as-stock car would already be in modified at least and still not be significantly faster |

Driving and tuning ability will make up the difference. My experience is, the more you regulate a class, the more cheating you have. Have simple rules and the cheaters mix in with the legal mods that aren't regulated. I know many of the cars that will show up. Most of them would be a second faster if cornerweighted and aligned. |
If you want to help deal with gutting interior and points for that, have it work like a local club did here in Atl. You were required to have X interior panels to fit into a group,
Street cars where required to have "Front half of interior, including both front seats and carpeting. (a few missing pieces is ok)" anything above modified/street was free to have completely gutted interior. You could do the same such as +1 for removing ac& p/s or +1 for each also +1 for no carpet etc |

Guy has both, removes one and carries one more point than guy who had neither to start with.. Overall, I see very few tuners doing any substantial weight reduction. I'll leave that a gray area for the first event and see how it goes. If the series take off and tuners start really stripping cars, we'll build a points table for it. |
Man I wish I could do something like this. My dreams will come true. Oh yes. They will be mine.

Ok, so the common turboed car around here should be in the modified group if they'd stick with a 7" wheel without R-comps.
My car would then be Tires +2. Suspension +2. Turbo +4. Intake +1. Megasquirt +1. Exhaust +1 for a total of only 11 points? Unless suspension mods are cumulative also. Add for springs, then shocks, then sways, etc? Exterior engine mods are cumulative? Ecu+1, intake +1, etc? If exterior engine mods aren't cumulative I could then run R-comps over 41 with 7" wheels and be at 14 pts. Am I figuring this right? |
