"Unprepared" refers to car classing. As in street prepared or prepared catagory vs. stock category. In this instance a car running in a stock category class is an "unprepared" car. I have to strongly
Greg, GH, If you read 2.1.A it states: " Speeds on straight stretches should not normally exceed the low 60's (mph) for the fastest stock and street prepared cars". Clearly this does not apply to car
Gosh, Let's stop being foolish with semantics - the course design violated the rule. Cornering speeds were faster than 45 mph. The course was therefore illegal and protestable. Alan, We're not being

The Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 139 which becomes mandatory in 2007 may "reverse the trend of competition tires becoming more like their brethren, and force them into becoming more like
Should the SCCA start looking into this possible tire dilemma now? No, because the SCCA can't force the tire companies to build anything unless the tire companies WANT to build it. And if the point h
With Danny Shields' recent articles about this and several postings touching on this subject along with high speeds being obtained by high performance stock cars (like SS), it is now high time to pro
Very good question Mark. I don't have scientific data on this, but in my experience, a 75' wide slalom would produce 60mph slalom. This is very common at ProSolo's. I'm thinking 45mph would require s
If your idea is to reduce speeds in Solo 2 (by any significant amount) by means of tire restrictions, then you'll have to mandate much more than just getting rid of DOT-R tires, considering that curr
Despite what some might suppose, Doug Gill does not want to read every post in this thread. He has asked that the SEB address be dropped from these posts. If you have a comment on the subject for the
But the insurance companies can tell the SCCA to make it safer and what happens then?? One obvious way is to SLOW down the course by tightening it (I DO NOT want this). My proposal is to slow down ju
What if, say, Toyo were to make a new tire that's otherwise identical to an RA-1, with a 140 rating? Now, that's not going to cause a big problem by itself, because I'm not sure the RA-1 is faster th
There are good reasons supporting both sides of this particular debate, but the stuff you write above is pretty much idiocy. I don't know if its on purpose or not, but idiocy it remains. Mark Mark, I

figure how to tie it down on my trailer. I was told there are four (4) slots in the frame that take a "TEE" type hook - then you attach the straps onto it.. By any chance, is this "TEE" the same as u
Mark, When you and I discussed the problem before I left the Evo school last week, I didn't think of the possibility of suspension binding at the time, but I completely agree with Dick that could be
Randy, I believe Ron Bauer was the one who had the Boxster wheels for sale. If his have already been sold, I have a set of the same 17" factory wheels I'd love to sell. His had tires mounted on them,
Brad, Have him check out Trailex aluminum trailers at <www.trailex.com>. They have both open and enclosed models. These trailers are very popular with PCA folks, among others, so they already know wh
The Trailex enclosed model *may* be an exception to that, FWIW. It is one of their open trailers with a full aluminum floor and aluminum wall and roof panels, with a vee-nose. IIRC, total weight is a
I know Pace sells them as an option for their trailers, and I'm sure that the other car trailer mfrs do, too. I would also assume that they are buying them rather than making them for themselves....a
