Lateral-G Open Challange Event

[race-rodz]

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 think we need to have at least 2 classes, one for bolt on mods, and one for tube chassis cars. I'd love for this to be an event for manufacturers to show off their products and vehicles, but it would be more fun to have the whole club involved.

So? What are we going to do to make this happen?

Hmmm.. how could PHR be involved? Maybe in determining classes? Arbitrator?

Where would it be held?

I guess I could find something to bring out..

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..

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.

Is there a section for posers?
