I would consider running RMU except for I don't have a 6 point cage and have zero desire to run one for driving on the street. Running the Ace's would be nice though. |

I'm sure there will be some ironing out to do, but so far miata's haven't been terribly competitive in any class (besides darby in street mod - and she's likely going to track mod next year).
its also a first year thing... we wanted to keep a loose ruleset to invite lots of participation and see where any issues come up for the following year. it'll be fun, and complaining will always happen - some with good reason. we'll figure out where the thin parts are and go from there. i think it'll be great for miatas in the midwest, and for gridlife. the sheer number of miatas we were able to get out for round 5 this year was amazing and awesome to see. |
Is an airdam considered a "major aero device"? I have effectively an S2 car with a wing(airdam, splitter, wing, 1.8, 225's, gutted) that seems like it slots into RM1 with some additional power added to make that 150whp.
I'm also still confused about how this class works with the rest of the GL format, is this it's own independent series, run at different times then the rest of TA cars, or do we run with the other TA cars and times also carry over and compete with Street/Track Mod/Unlimited ect? |

To get the latest and greatest in Roadster Modified heres the FB group chat. A lot of questions can be discussed and talked about on this group page. The rules can be subject to change if enough people within the RM group agree on the same rulesets.

I for one, am pumped. My car slots perfectly into the RM2 class with 250 rwhp, aero, stock block, stock trans.

you will still enter into one of the GL classes: street, street mod, track mod, or unlimited. you will then enter into the RM class that you fit into - points will be tabulated separately. so you could kill it in one of the RM classes, and get destroyed in the GL class that you are entered (most miatas are long-shots for the GL classes SO FAR ;) you'll need to read both sets of rules and pick your battles in terms of car prep... i'm pretty stoked about it |
excited to see this. My car is pretty set up for RM1 as it sits :)

Not sure how I feel about needing an SCCA licence to compete in gridlife but ok. I guess we'll see what all that will require... besides the ~$70/year membership.

EDIT - NM found the answer in a FB thread.

I'm only assuming, but this could be due to the criticism of the caliber of some drivers who jumped into the Time Attack classes with little to no opening passing experience. I know at RA 2017 I questioned the quality of a few Mustang GT driver's who were holding me up and lacked situational awareness. RA 2018 was a demolition derby by some standards. I think a licensing program is something that GL needed.

Question about "stock engine"... according to a thread on their FB page, "stock engine" = completely stock internally.

Yeah with that in mind... RA this year was the biggest shit show... Although track officials said the amount of cars involved in incidents was by no means above the average. I guess statistically, the GL event was tame-average for the amount of cars they had running that weekend.

So go nuts with headwork was my interpretation. A WHP cap is a WHP cap, doesn't matter how you get there as long as its not above. |
