<quoting me> and vague wording. Did you read what I wrote after that? I'll quote: "If an SS (or ASP, there's really not that much speed differential these days) car is clocked at 83 mph, it is clear
Wrong. Dead wrong. Read the rules, particularly the list of mandatory sections. You couldn't be more off base. ALL the Solo2 rules - even the sections that are optional for Regional events - are bind
The formula for angular acceleration is A=v^2/r. Solving it for r (the turn radius) gives r = v^2/A. For 45 mph in a turn to cause 1.1g angular acceleration, the turn radius is 123 ft. Looked at anot
interesting. That is not a reduction, it's an increase. The 70 mph speed you quote was for the fastest car in ANY class, including A Mod. The revision to top speeds changed that. The rules now restri
Byron and I both did that one yesterday. It depends on the assumptions you make. With mine - 1.2g cornering capability, 6' wide, and just barely missing the cones - the spacing was 68'. If you make t

We both use the formula that I worked out ~10 years ago. The difference in our numbers was due to different input data. Using the corrected car width and cone size that you provided later, the formul
<quoting Charlie> Not a bad idea (for the old British cars). If the clutch MC draws from a higher point in the reservoir than the brake, you lose your clutch as an early warning that your brake MC is
and We (Texas Region) bought a new system with laser photocells back in 2000 or so. At that time, the photocells turned out to have issues if they got too hot (outside temps in the triple digits did

If it happened that way, I could understand SCCA responding in the negative. Clearly, what Steve set out to do would have required substantial funding. I'm not clear on what you're saying. Is Steve n
Would you please share with us who has been talking about such cutbacks, and what they've been saying? That's a good-faith request, BTW, not a challenge. I know the Regions make a profit (25-35%, IIR

We're all in agreement there. A financial statement is the accounting equivalent of a political campaign promise: you can make it say whatever you want, and then pretend next year that you really sai
Uhh, no. Solo2 is a grassroots _amateur_ competitive sport. Other than the general PR for the club that all sanctioned events provide, it is NOT a "sales tool." Attempts to make it such will eventual
As I pointed out earlier, EVERY SCCA-sanctioned event has the same PR possibilities as Solo. As a spectator, I think wheel-to-wheel racing is much more fun to watch myself. To what end? Should Solo c
Well, in case you're mistaking my position, let's get some things cleared up: I did compete in Pro Solos. From 1989 through 1992, I ran in one to three Pros a year. I enjoyed the competition format,
Several thing jump out at me about this series when I look at the PRO website: There still is not a good description of the competition events (earlier on, there was a little more information than th
