Looks good

I've created a spreadsheet to help in your classification for your car. It's beta, but I think all the bugs are ironed out. Nothing new, just allows you to play a couple what-ifs with different setups. Click the appropriate link on my exciting Corvette Challenge title page:

Are you gunning for the Geekmiesters job ???

Nice work ....


DH

Dreamin

Richard EVO

Very nice work. Too bad I don't have any use for it anymore.

Dirty Howie

For those of you that don't have Microsoft Excell you can get Open Office for free. There is a Windows and Mac version that you can download here:

The carcass is sitting in my garage. I can drive it about 2 miles at the most before it overheats. I don't think I can get a timed lap at the next event (or even get it there).

ryan0

Wasn't there some talk about Laguna not counting for points?

Dreamin

It was suggested by a few drivers that it should be a 'full event'... so we changed it.

Note that the lowest event's score will be dropped.

looks like Mr. Vetteguy2005 is starting to think about changing his setup... -pp

I actually read the rules for the first time I discovered that I was 10 points over the required parts to qualify for modified that blows. Man if someone only made a roll bar for my car I'd that really works, maybe I should get a Hans device.

stano

Dreamin

I think you're exactly right

Dreamin

Yes, sell me your sway bars or get a Hans

Cloaked323

The thought has crossed my mind on both items, how much is a Hans will I need a special helmet? In fact I've done my fastest times at WSIR on MPSC and stock sway-bars. When I look as "CLion's" times I know that the car is capable of quick times with nothing but Hoosiers, I like his approach of not adding things to his car, I should have followed his lead.
