Who's in? It's $175 and includes a transmitter. There is a handicap system so a completely stock zx3 can be just as competitive as John's 400hp monster. I did the event 2 years ago at beaverun and it was a total blast.
I already put in a request 2 go next year...to run.
going to try to make it up just to watch and learn this year.
Still not 100% sure i will be there though.
It is sort of difficult. Basically you have to login first. Then "challenge" will appear on the nav bar. You may have to e-mail Nik your mods and he'll punch it in for you.
On Saturday, you get the transponder for the whole day. They are trying to get enough cars to have a "challenge" session only. 2 years ago we just took the fastest time from any of the sessions. I actually only ran one session because I thought my transmission was toast but it turned to just be a leaky seal.
I believe but not positive that you need at least an SA2000 rated helmet... Most motorcycle helmet are m2000 or m2005.. they don't have the nomex lining required...
[scratch] i find it strange that i can't use my helmet that i use riding a GSX-R 600 that's more dangerous and MUCH faster than my car but its not good enough to wear racing my slow car at a road course? [confused] [}]
The issue isn't one of impact resistance, but rather providing the driver enough protection to get out of a car in the case of fire.
SA helmets are lined with Nomex, fire retardant material, whereas motorcycle helmets are not.
Some clubs allow M rated helmets to be used given that drivers are only wearing long pants and long sleeve cotton shirts as opposed to full driving suits.
Personally, I think it is a bit overkill, but at the same time I see its purpose.
I soooo wish I could go to this, but my clutch is on it's last leg after the last autocross, I boost, it slips. You guys have fun now, and see if you can get some pictures. [thumb]
