Choice of FSB or RSB in stock!... not many FWD in C-stock but I wonder if this will make Cooper JCW competitive.... how about stock FSB and removed RSB on the 8? |
^Yeah if you want to drive something that pushes like crazy...
I might have to play in BSP some next year. Although I think the S2000 will be a tad bit faster, it will be a closer battle than with the boosted machines. :) |
it will be more than a tad faster due to the weight and size advantage
the RX-8 needs to be in DSP |
Well I wonder how many STR guys will switch to BSP now...I'll pick up another set of used Hoosiers to play just for fun.
|
only those with deep pockets, a fully prepped SP car is not a cheap build
|
I was hoping for street tire stock classes but that don't seem to be happening!
|
^Because it would be slow and boring... :dunno:
|
They are discussing a special PAX street tire combined Stock class for Nationals
Which is totally absurd IMO |
and when no one shows up to run the street tire PAX at Nats, they will find something else to complain about.

Agreed, although the RX-8 can run a lot more tire without screwing up the gearing (at the expense, I assume of yet more width). But really: this. Which won't happen, b/c THINK OF THE BMWS! Won't anyone think of the BMWs? :rofl: Seems to me the timing is perfect to write your letters to the SEB/SPAC, as there's no way the RX8 can be seen as escalating either cost to play or performance in DSP, imho. |

Speaking of DSP, Focus SVT will be moved out of DSP into FSP... Maybe it's time to sell my beater car and get one of those babies! |
^I was speaking from a Nationals standpoint...Not local. Our local region as well as many others around here have a Tire class that is a pax'ed based class. 140 treadware or higher is required and you run with your base Stock/Mod/Prepared class...

It would also be cheap and convenient and not much slower for where I live. 80% of the events I attend are in rain... buying Hoosier wet or R888s are great but A6 becomes a waste of money... the last time I bought a set, I had to wait 8 events before I could use them ... and did I mention I hate kneeling in pools of water to change tires!
BTW, one of the primary reasons I bought a trailer was because I hated changing tires in 95 degree/100% humidity and or rain here. |

I disagree about the BMW's getting in the way of the RX8 going to DSP. Now that they've opened up the UD/BD opportunity by putting the E46 on the same line with the E36, DSP's balance has really been tipped...so much so that you HAVE to spend $$$$ to build an E46 car, if you want to win. Also, the performance potential, mostly because of gearing choices, has taken a huge leap up.

Funny how those E30 and E36 owners aren't as up in arms about the E46
I was just about to submit a letter to the SPAC asking for them to revist the RX8/DSP move given the 2011 results |
I'm not sure DSP will be any slower than the new BSP.
