we need to figure out what "events" would do a good job of showing a well rounded car. obviously drag racing, and a road coarse, would be the big events. skid pad testing is pretty easy to calculate, as is brake testing. a mandatory "cruise" could be used for determining fuel mileage.
the classes could be broke down into level of mods catagory. no-tubs, bolt on only parts(excluding items welded for safety...like s.f.c's) mildly modded, mini tubs, engineered suspension set-ups(complete reworked subframe instead of bolt on upgrades) then the unlimited class...where anything goes. all cars must be true street cars, registered and insured. |
We are in for whatever. I guess what I was thinking was a magazine quality put up or shut up head to head manufactures competition. My stuffs better the your stuff, JustBringIt! Maybe that could be done inside of a general membership competition to allow everyone to have fun. I say it is a open event, to many classes does not find a winner. Speaking of winner, what are we looking for?
In todays world, Scott would need to look at liabilities before sanctioning such an event. |

I guess I could find something to bring out.. :unibrow:
A few years ago, there was a event called the Texas Triatholon. The first year, street tires only, autocross, road racing and drag racing. It was based on a points system and the best overal car won. The first year I won it in a bone stock '99 Viper GTS. There were about 40 cars and there were several cars faster then my Viper at the drag strip, but I won the other two events so I took the overall win. I would be so in on this, there is nothing better than spending time in your car at the track. If you want to have it here in TX. I could help getting tracks here.. SW |
Scorekeeper?
Even though I still dont have a car, I would love to help out and be involved in this. Since I am a CPA, I can keep score for free if needed. (Not judge, just tabulate the votes.)
Even if you don't need a scorekeeper, I will try to make this. Sounds like a lot of fun. |
Well, you're gonna have a lot of cars showing up in FLA for Power Tour, right. So why not run the challenge right before the tour and then? Take a nice leisurely drive up to Jersey.

Recently I've been approached by a magazine about Lateral-g being heavily involved with an event like this that currently in planning. I won't give any details because it's been discussion only to this point, but I wanted you guys to know that I think this is an awesome idea and I'll support it in any means possible and that there's a good chance that something like this might just happen. :)
