East Tennessee Region SCCA

What in the world. I have been under the impression that I would have to get a new helmet for months now! At the same time that's some egg on the face it's nice to know I can put more towards tires this season. the 2000 ruling came out in a recent FastTrack ... so none of us knew this until recently

is it dealer/port installed ? or is it factory installed

if I understand the rules ... factory installed shouldn't affect it's class ... but I'm no were near a rules guru

hey ... I like perfect tan lines ...






wait... are we talking about the same things ?

Current and 2 previous would be 2015, 2010, and 2005 right? Doesn't that mean that 2000's are no good this year? that would be the normal interpretation of the rule ... but for some reason they wrote in the 2000 as being ok for this season ... as long as it's in the rule book for 2016 ... it's good...

read the SCCA rule book ... for the upcoming season they have added the SA/M 2000 this is different from normal ... who knows why they've added the 2000, but they did usually it is, as you pointed out the 2 previous Snell Foundations standards Grace period maybe? I don't know ... this is the first ...

now I can come up with 9 ... thanks Clyde

I would think a turndown on the exhaust would help a car like Walter's. Turndowns are legal, directing to the side opposite to the sound control microphone is not. A turndown with the exhaust ending behind the driver but still under the car might help even more. I see a lot of race cars with that k...

well I can count 8 ...

you're right ...there's nothing we can do about tire noise ... but we CAN do something about engine noise ... lets make sure we control the things we CAN control, then see where we stand

Since it seems we have to use a SA2015 helmet, where is the cheapest place to buy one? I think a closed faced would be more appropriate since I plan to eventually (sometime this year) do an HPDE event and a full face, I believe, is required. who told you that you had to have a '15 helmet ? not only...

67 (by the time the season get really underway) is too young ?

I'll be interested in seeing where Mike B and I fall in on that list

and my old guy memory could be the problem here ... because even with those low readings I was still gouging you about being quieter than a cobra as many can testify ... at Chilhouee, lots of folk (JY, Rife, among others) were concerned that I was breaking sound ...DeWit was running sound and we mad...

Heh, happened to have that information handy and dated... Your last appearance at Pelli was 08-09-15, your runs were recorded at 87.8, 85.9,86.9, 86.4 It must have been a "low db condition" overall as my recorded runs were 89.0, 87.8, 89.3, 88.7 (new improved auger design). The high car w...
