time attack racing

[jdm eg99]

is there any time attack racing anywere here in atl ? other than road atlanta ?:bump:

[matthewAPM]

there are no other tracks in GA...

[Elbow]

Why OTHER then Road Atlanta? You don't like the best?

[EJ25RUN]

I agree. RA is one of the 5 best in the USA.

Well I know RR. I meant no other tracks in GA are holding a TT event.

the redline time attack hits nashville superspeedway @ the end of july

their rules are weird. modified class calls for 50 treadware rating tires.... hoosiers are 40 and RA1s are 100 kinda weird

[Bus Driver J]

All the info you'll need. The rule book and schedule are on there.

NASA this weekend..anyone...anyone?

[OnURleft]

Yes. I time how long it takes to get down our .5 mile long ditch of a gravel driveway up at our lake house. Maybe we could have a competition for all lowered cars that can get down it as fast as me

[Elbow]

My car is lowered, I plow over speed bumps.

yea i checked that shit out, then i found out it was mostly on the other side of the country.

[matthewAPM]

^ yep. only 2 of the 8 are "near" us. Oh well, road trips are half the fun!!!!

[OnURleft]

Cars with cut springs can't compete. It's in my rule book.

[redrumracer]

^ yep. only 2 of the 8 are "near" us. Oh well, road trips are half the fun!!!!
but not in the car I wanna run it with, esp if something happens on the track. Hell if it was closer I'd do it.

[Thighs]

simon doesnt have cut springs silly goose.

[Blitanicle99]

I cannot wait to get back to the track. We will be going to every track event the car is ready for.

Redline guys...why not run NASA? ..........lol

Well redline is easier to get into for one, no need to do so many of these other things just to do one thing.

although NASA does have more(alot) local things.

[Elbow]

Well yeah it's easier but that doesn't mean better lol. You have to have more experience for NASA....big deal.

[redrumracer]

Well yeah it's easier but that doesn't mean better lol. You have to have more experience for NASA....big deal.
yea id rather just pass tech and then go out and beat on my car, IMO redline just has a better setup for those like me.

[matthewAPM]

trailer. I know im going to be putting my share in of road miles later this year. (damn RTA schedule)


Redline guys...why not run NASA? ..........lol

exposure exposure exposure!

[Big Baller]

Redline guys...why not run NASA? ..........lol

If I go run a Redline event and win, Ill take home enough contingency crap that it justifys the money I spent to run.

If I win a NASA event....I get nothing

I won my TTS every time I entered in 07 and I wouldn't say it was very hard. The only reason i would come run this year would be to chase Reese Cox in TTU

this is very true. Reese's vette is the only car worth running against in a car like yours. As for me, I have looked at records for E36 M3's with equal mods....my 325 the same times?

So are you guys going to be ready for the first event??

I hope so, I've got my motor almost ready to go in the car, I need to get enough money together to get a center diff for my tranny and then I should be good to go.

Cage still isn't in the car either, I need to get on that as well but I started a new business and its taking up a lot of my time.

Yeah, two weeks is not much time, and being on the east coast its less then that.

Im kinda in the same boat as you. LOTS of stuff is getting done to the car so it wont be ready until mid season...hopefully by the autobahn event.

So Unlimited can run non DOT-R tires now? What do you plan on running, the yok's or the pirelli's?

[Elbow]

What's TRA?

[matthewAPM]

What's TRA?
sorry, i was typing to fast. haha edited

[Elbow]

yessss?? RTA- Redline Time Attack

[Elbow]

When did you decide to do that?

[matthewAPM]

When did you decide to do that?

When I drove my car a few weeks ago and decided to keep it. haha.

PM me...

[Elbow]

Yeah but it's just Solo 1 at the end of the day, and NASA runs better tracks, it's all good whatever you want to run run I was just curious.

I'm only running the 4 east coast events.

I'm undecided on a class yet, I'm waiting on an email from the UK on if the wrc roll up window regulators will fin in a standard door, if they will I may put the car back together enough to run in street class, so I can win the Jim Russell Driving School thing. If not then Modified.

[matthewAPM]

This is true. And at the end of the day, "solo1" pays more then regional road racing.

And I have ZERO interest in running NASA. I would much rather run a series with tons of competition and contingency and TV coverage...something you don't get with NASA.

Yeah, same here for this season as long as the car is together by the autobahn event.

Yeah, I saw that thing for the Yokohama shootout. That is awesome! Sadly, my car is to far away now from street class:(. But what I dont understand (and I might have miss read this) is why Yokohama says you can run any tire even if its not there tire, and as long as you have there sticker on the car you are in the shootout??

[Elbow]

Solo 1 doesn't exist anymore, and Redline doesn't really get "TV" coverage.

[Big Baller]

Solo 1 doesn't exist anymore, and Redline doesn't really get "TV" coverage.

There is a 12 show series this year dedicated to only the Redline Time Attack Series, Franchise Teams get guaranteed coverage there and on the podcast and in the magazines....I would say thats good coverage.

[Elbow]

On what channel? And coverage for what? Corporate sponsors won't care about time trials, it's like autocross. Plus no wheel to wheel competition meaning larger real teams wont scoop a driver up because he can qualify good lol. Just saying.

[Big Baller]

Ill have to look at my media packet when I get home. Corporate Sponsors don't care what kind of racing it is as long as their are viewers. I'm not looking to get picked up by a big team. If that were to happen that would be great but the reality is that its probably not going to.

[matthewAPM]

Solo 1 doesn't exist anymore, and Redline doesn't really get "TV" coverage.

really? please do some research on both...

Last time it was on speed...and what do you mean coverage for what?? haha. Coverage for the event...like all racing?

Sponsors don't care about coverage? If it is oh so much like autocross, then why do so many people have sponsors?? I think a company would much rather sponsor a car for a series like Redline with TV coverage, then a SCCA regional event with ZERO.

And who said anyone was running time attack to get picked up by a team? :no:

[Elbow]

Well I just thought that was your goal as it's mine to gain exposure and move up. True SCCA regional racing gets nothing, and one event a year on TV doesn't matter either. I have never seen Redline have their OWN coverage like own event. I didn't say sponsors don't care about coverage, but to get a BIG sponsor, they want more then just viewers. I know you can get sponsors for it as you can autocross, and obviously bigger being a larger series and not in a parking lot lol.

Quit confusing me.

Like young people in motorsports, they want to make it to a professional series where they dont have to pay for it. Right now, Redline is the smartest way to get on track. It would be almost impossible to get a sponsor for a IT car where you get one event covered in a magazine ONCE a year. Redline has some new exposure opportunities for teams. This includes TV coverage. And for sponsors that dont have the money to make commericals, this is the next best thing.

[4uh8ers]

While you guys are on the topic about sponsors, what is a good way to try and pick some up????? Do you need to just have a good sales pitch, or do the reps go out to the events and come up to you if you are running well??? I am runnin auto x and a few pdx's this season, cause this is my first year of competetive racing. I am just curious.

Ask yourself this first, do you think you can win any of the PDX's this year or finish top 5? That's what a sponsor wants.

It's been posted countless times here, there is a schedule of all events somewhere in this section, probably on page one.

BUT www.soloatlanta.com. That site has everything you need to know.

eBay can fix that for you.

[Big Baller]

I am going to run the Redline at CMP and maybe the TN one, I hate the rules though, because my center console is gone I have to run in Modified? LOL That's just plain stupid, it doesn't even weigh a pound.

I would put some kind of console back in it, because you are going to get raped in modified.

yeah, modified is going to be a bad place for your car. Not that miata's are bad cars (because I owned and loved mine), but you have to deal with some really fast cars including a LS1 BMW :ninja:

You know theres no tire size limit in modified right?

You better find a way to stuff 315s under there or you will be playing catch up.

Read the rules very carefully they have changed them a lot.

They are printed out and sitting on my desk. The thing is trying to fit a 315. I know it can be put in the rear on a 17x11 but you cant stuff that in the front. Its just going to take some testing to figure out what works and what doesnt. I will be max'd out on tire size for sure.

Fender Flares....get some

[OnURleft]

500whp, 2300lbs, 285's...I think I'll be competitive...

and about $20,000. You better get an LS2 or LS3. LS1's are everywhere in E36's these days.

I am. The biggest flares I can get. I can run 315's in the back no problem, but cant say the same for the front...

LS3 fits fine, so will an LS7 or any LSx for that matter. There is no replacement for displacement, LS2's and LS3's make more power..stock, modified or boosted. I know all about it as I had the cash to do one, that is, my brothers motor in my car + 383 stroker kit from Vengeance and I turned it down unlike someone who is all talk and no action. Oh yeah, you don't need boost to make 500whp from an LS1, let alone a $25,000 turbo kit to make 500whp...that's just stupid now isn't it.

From what I remember your brother has an LS1??

LS3 does NOT fit because of the oil pan. You would have to either make a custom oil pan OR front subframe. Both of which I dont want to do. Secondly, you can pick up a LS1/T56 for $4000 plus or minus a few. Why waste money and time????

And when did I EVER say I was boosting the LS1? NEVER. I would NEVER EVER boost a LS1. Waste of time and money. TRM (who you say is the best ever??) said that it would cost around 25k for a turbo kit done and installed? WTF?! Not only will i weigh less but I will make the same power and not be scared of blowing it up everytime I drive it.

And why stroker kit? Heads, cam, header and a tune and ill make 500whp? I know this as my dad's race car made this...

......... 25k for an LS1 turbo.. maybe HAH.

E36 Turbo kits are 5.5 by the way, listed on the website. A fully built motor with a forged crank and what not + tune, clutch etc would maybe set you back 12-14. Again, something I considered. You should've listened, now your stuck with a useless non-vanos car you paid way to much for.

Again, maybe you should go back to 3rd grade Math...
-LS1 and associated hardware 8-10k
-Heads/Cam/TB/Headers/Tune - 2-4k
-17x11's and or 18x10's -2k
-330ci stretched fenders + paint -1k
-DOM cage- 3200
-Wing-500
-315's-2k
-Install-?
Where are you getting 10k? Lots of work for a car with only about 400whp. Like I said earlier
and about $20,000



And why stroker kit? Heads, cam, header and a tune and ill make 500whp? I know this as my dad's race car made this...



oil pan...

Last I checked we have a heads/cam/headers/TB LS1 tuned by the most reputable LSx place and it's about 90whp away from that. Your dads slush-o-matic didn't come close to 500whp. Lying is not the way to have a conversation..

First off, we are not talking about the camaro here. Im talking about my dads gutted, caged, etc etc trans am.

Would you like to see the PM from your buddy about a TRM turbo build for the M50?? 25-30k

here is the real cost....

-LS1 $4,500 (est)
-vorshlag stage 1 kit $5,000 (est)
-Heads/Cam/TB/Headers/Tune - $2,000
-18x10's -$500
-molded 240sx flares- $300
-Front half of cage- $1800
-all body and aero-free
-285's-$1600
-Install-free
-brakes-free

I would guess all in all the car could be done for $20,000.

And when the fuck did i EVER say i was going to turbo a LS1?? Please quote me.

Your a fucking idiot. really. Not only does the LS1 save weight, but it save tuning every time I go to a track, money, and it will last forever.

Why spend double the money for a LS3 when I can make the same power outta the LS1? Im not going for 800+whp here. 450-500 and ill be happy.
