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.
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??
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
id like to get into a little autox, when is the next event?
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.
I would put some kind of console back in it, because you are going to get raped in modified.
I know that's what I am saying. I will find a console for when I run it or borrow one lol.
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
Simon, PM me, I got a few questions and ideas for ya
Hell there are a couple of 500+ whp cars running in street classyeah, 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
Simon, PM me, I got a few questions and ideas for ya
i was thinking about doing the Tn one, if i have the money at the time then ill prob do it.
better get that suspension set up first...
i finally fixed that. But my car is having other problems also now.
When did you get a LS1??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

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
