Ok, so how is this thread better than the other

I would suggest placing links on your first post, for Solo2 website, as well as any sites that Ulllose can come up with regarding Solo2 rules/regulations.

You could always put up RX8 Cup info on the first thread as well, so we can track those who are previous cup holders.

speeddemon32

is that a better start?

Does the RX-8 cup extend to San Diego events? Maybe there will be a divisional cup for SD.

How 'bout putting a blurb about the next event with a link on the main post too?

speeddemon32

so a turboed 20B in an RX-8 would be in SM right?

speeddemon32

I think RX-8 Cup should be ........... 3 or more drivers?.... maybe 4 or more???? what do you guys think?

I dont know about SD??? I dont think I will start running there any time soon due to schedules, but I think if you guys down there have the right number of people that would qualify as an RX-8 cup... right?

speeddemon32

Snow... thats funny.
you are on a roll today.
get back to work.

SnowFl8k

Work? Whats that? I'm home already

speeddemon32

oh.... well screw you then.

5:00 cant come fast enough!!!

mp5

Yes.

Yeah, we don't really need a cup. It's usually me and Jason, with occasional guests. If Keith comes down again, we could do an SD cup.

speeddemon32

that's true.... so should we make it 3 drivers or more?

speeddemon32

I wonder if we should exclude SM???
only reason I left it, is for us BSP/STU guys that might run it in the future. (like Toca, or Keith if he is forced to)
they really need to have a class that is BSP and STU combined. (BSP rules with body kit would be great)

I still cant get over the HUGE spoiler, but no wing thing. all well, If you want to play their game, you have to play by their rules right?

ULLLOSE

iTrader: (1)

Yes it would.... Pretty much run what you brung. Just has to have Mazda power and DOT tires.

speeddemon32

he he, sounds liek a fun class.

mp5

The cup is just for fun. Unless some guy comes out with a turbo and smokes us all, then it doesn't really matter. Like I said before, we could always go to PAX... which I might be in favor of if you guys keep modding at the rate you're going.

speeddemon32

non PAX is our only hope for EVER beating ULLLOSE.

but to be honest, that would be the "most" fair way.

??????????hmmmmmmmmmmm?????????

speeddemon32

hey what do ou guys think about a very small shot of nitrous for auto cross? somehting liek a 40 shot. safe, hardly noticable, but still more power then stock.

would have come in handy on the last track. (and yes I know nothing beats seat time) just curious.

Most clubs wont allow a nos bottle in the car at an autox. One time on a Sat night in PHX we were setting up a course for our Corvette club and I test drove it in our Miata with a 50 shot of nos... The next day none of the vettes, even mine, could beat the time the Miata put down on the bottle.

ULLLOSE

iTrader: (1)

We dont need one... We will just take the SB one.

mp5

He will go down eventually, oh yes.

mp5

Very good read for noobs: http://www.tirerack.com/features/solo2/handbook.htm

kwescott

Maybe the SD Cup can be the red housing

And then if you are really good (i.e. Ulllose) you can win both the SD and Fontana events in the same month and have both the rotor and housing

kwescott

PAX does not give us an advantage, it gives him more of an advantage...doesn't BS get more handicap when compared to BSP and STU?

mp5

Yes, PAX gives us stock guys an advantage, but it does nothing to help me against ULLLOSE. What it does is allow me to beat BSP without actually beating your times.

Some numbers:
BS .822
BS .843
STU .820

STU actually has it the easiest. For a typical 60 sec course, BSP would have to run about 1.25 secs quicker than BS.

mp5

Having said that, I'm down to run heads up with you guys for awhile. Just thought I'd throw the info out there. I haven't shown you my real stuff yet, just sandbagging so far...

kwescott

STU does not have it easiest though, cause the tires kill you in that class....I know.

Have you or Ulllose ever run on stock tires?

mp5

I only meant that STU has the "softest" PAX, not that it was easy to be competitive. Yes, I drove on the stock tires for almost a year. The stock tires suck, but the top street tires (Yokos) are getting closer to r-compounds in grip.

speeddemon32

thats what I was saying.








Nitrous..... damn that sucks, I reallyt thought it would be nice to run a 50 shot. are there rules against it? (in the rule book)

mp5

Just did my 30k service and had the dealer put in Redline fluids for the diff and tranny... unfornuately the morons forgot to put the fill plug for the diff back in.

Fluid all over the exhaust and a nice smell to match. I'm stuck at home now and they're not open tomorrow. Hopefully I can get things sorted out tomorrow and make the event Sunday.

speeddemon32

I hope you get it all worked out!

kwescott

yeah, that stuff does smell bad...I can't imagine what is smells like when it is burning....

Yes street tires suck but the mods in the class more than make up for it. The STU index is weak when you look at the other ST classes. STS and STX cars both have to go faster on ST tires than they do in stock class trim for PAX, STU does not have to go as fast as the stock class cars that make it up, that is why it is weak. I am sure if the class lives that will change over the next few years.
