Just seems like a lot mildly prepared cars are ending up in unlimited. Not -just- you.
Maybe they should move it up to 12 points and up for unlimited.

I'm sure there is no requirement to make any more than one event.

i was gonna vote to increase mod class points to save a few guys in mod class but i change my mind to keep the mod class at 11 points max cos

the original concept was to keep some r-comp guys with less mods run with street tire guys with more mods in a fair game since some wants to run their street cars on r-comp

now if someone has more mods + r-comp, i donno what to do with street tire guys, we can let these r-comp guys have fun in unlimited class (just block your biggest competitors Krazik at the gate) or they can come with good street tires and have fun in mod class

BBK doesn't have noticeable laptime improvement, I can lock up my tires easily on stock calipers, if all the podium finishers have BBK to prove it has significant advantage, then we will know, altho I don't think it will happen

I don't think rich guys should get penalty, it's up to them to put on something expensive that won't make the car go faster.

camber arms or camber joints (or even RCAs) should not have points, I see almost no top runners use them or found them not that helpful

weight reduction should keep the way it is now, anymore weight removal has philosophy towards race cars, street/mod class should all have daily driven cars, keep it simple

there are only very few guys want to remove passenger seat to bring extra spare tires (I have never seen many pp do that), if they really need to, I don't think they will complain to keep oem size battery, oem spare tires tool box to even out the 32lbs oem seat (all those stuff are all SUPER EASY installation, we couple guys always bring oem spare tires so there should have no problem to find spare tires if someone really need that much space to bring extra stuff)

in the summer, quite a few guys have cool suit, which require a big ice chest. it is usually mounted on passenger floor. I also like to carry a regular wheel/tire as spare for flat spot / bent wheel (quite a few end their day early with 1 ditch). jack, jack stand, helmet, etc.

many many track Miatas run w/o passenger seat. the reason is above.

just penalize passenger seat removal 0.25 pt.

you are using them. They give big improvements on handling.


LOL

why is it about me? put more of the low mod guys into street and more of the low ul guys into mod. I'm not gonna be doing more than a couple events. I can't even make the thunderhill event since I'll be in germany at the ring.

if you haven't found the usefulness of max caster w/ -3-4 camber you're missing it

I'll sure as hell unbolt the seat at the track if I was competing. 2 minutes for 30lbs? It's 4 bolts.

that should be the idea. otherwise it just wiped out most street tire drivers in mod class.
