Hrmm I see, I was watching a video of you racing at RA too and it didn't seem that loud. It will be hard to get my car that quiet but who knows maybe a really good muffler will do the trick. I thought the racing event for RA was Sunday only, and Sat was for Auto-X or something else?Quote:

I am not an SCCA Member. So what is my total cost if I decide to come? Out the door? Who do I pay for each part?
Who is handling the tech? Is this run in quiet time on Sunday?
I am on like my 6th or 7th HPDE(Full weekend events) mostly with BMWCCA... Does that mean I would be in run group C? I am in B and last two weekends with BMWCCA I get signed off so where would I run?
What are the passing rules? Over the roof to the inside of the track? You say "street exhaust"... Well I pass emissions but it won't pass noise if it is quiet time...
To add to his above - what needs to be done to volunteer? (this would be for the next event). I'd love to volunteer and then run my car.
Yah that too...
This is not completely true. While it is only "100 dollars" it is the same cost of almost EVERY other HPDE event. Take BMWCCA at RA. It is 400 dollars for 8 20 minute sessions on track. On top of that you also get 8 20 minute class room sessions talking about car control, traction circle etc etc etcQuote:

So it comes out to the same price... 100 is less than 400 but it is the same overall price.
*edit*
25 minute sessions on track and in class room. So BMWCCA is cheaper per minute of track time ;)
Halston as far as I know its just a Sunday morning thing. I'm working the event and I signed up just to took around on Sunday...2 sessions is just enough to get me wanting more so I will prob be on street tires on that note. Your car is to loud from what I remember at CCA so i'd pass unless you want to run the E30. If you do go through though i'm sure you'd be in the intermediate group like CCAQuote:

Hey Ian what needs to be done to sign up to help with the event? (maybe not this but for the future)

Unless I short shift... ehehehehe
I made it through last time... Need a proper turn down and extra resonator but I am not worried.
send MatthewAPM a P.M and he will get you in the right direction with SCCA.Quote:

alright I'm signed up.
Hahah
I don't want to break the rules :) Just trying to get the details... No e30 though... Wheels would fall off and I would get run down by anything!
The very end of the year. We are working on that now. Also, I will be letting you know about our plans for the nelson leadges 24hr.Quote:

Hah I plan to have my race car = loud then fun street car for sunday mornings to run = quiet time. My parents/siblings cars come in good use a session(S5, GTO etc.) and will greatly come in handy during quiet time if I ever get to loud.Quote:

They are real yes. They are for sale yes. I have 3 7.5's and 2 8.5's. I currently have RS2's on them at 235 all around. One of the fronts (spare) is not painted. I want to sell/trade them w/o tires
Dang I need 4 8.5's. Kosei's here I come. No more borrowing slicks and wheels from buddies. If you don't want the kirk bar I have cash ready.Quote:

Me.
And to clarify still some people seem not to understand. This weeknd is an actual road racing weekend, not just track day toy stuff, there will be real race cars, real racing, etc. The PDX is a driving session on Sunday morning during the quiet hour, between real racing, due to Hall county noise stuff, that's why your car has to be quiet. The SCCA does tech and all.
and they do not accept cars with
-fart cans
-primered cars
-fake nitrous bottles
-spoilers on cars that dont need them
-any jdm or wanna be jdm parts
Also, fake carbon fiber exterior or interior parts or amps over 50wQuote:
