slower.. well slower. Dougie in his EH was close, about 3 sec difference, had him in the corners but he'd just walk away on the straights. |

If there is support I will look at permitting the removal of some material where a full 6 point cage with intrusion cars is installed Its just not safe to remove metal from a car that hasn't been reinforced. cheers Jeff So the entire body is to be untouched both internal and exterior skins. Are we making race cars or posers, 2 ways to make a race car go fast add more power or make it lighter, since we are capped on the power side of things if you want to go fast then it has to be more stripped down than Alfie Langer at the Normanby |

how much non structual metal work in in the body?!! I mean ours is empty... QUOTE - that uncaged cars cant remove or modify any of the original metalwork. - that 6 point fully caged cars with both side intrusion bars can remove stock side intrusion bars. I like this ^^ @SlowBus, they are never going to be that quick, but they are fun when your racing someone else while going at the same speed and hvae the same handling characteristics

Why spend heaps of time and money making them fast, or at least, faster, or, less slow  ? The aim of the series is CHEAP fun, not sub 60 Lakeside laps! Have ten of them running around together, door to door, evenly matched, THAT is the aim of the game. Get your heads around that and you'll have much more fun, not worrying about what demon tweak Billy Bloggs is doing to his between rounds.

Everything is always alot more fun when you are winning, and since most of the cars are running sprints it wont be door to door racing. |

No matter what metal is removed we need to make sure that they are still safe, or the powers that be will just ban them altogether if we start using cars that are so stripped out that they become unsafe/unpredicatble. |

Win with skill then, not because your car's lighter. I know it's not door to door racing, it was a poor metaphore for the timed laps. And we all know that when there's a few evenly matched cars on track near eachother it turns into a bit of a dice |

QUOTE (Marlin @ Mar 30 2010, 10:04 AM) Win with skill then, not because your car's lighter. We obviously see the series different. I won't get into it if there needs to be much preperation to the car needed, I have a real car I'd prefer to spend time and money on. The attraction to the series for me was an excel can be kind of treated like a "tear-off", if you blow it up or bend it, just get another and swap your bolt in cage and tyres over into another $500 excel and you're away again....... This. Stock body. Save arguments. We are running and need to keep our shitbox road legal, so most people have an advantage on us already.. but its too much fun to give a shit about. come circuit racing for door to door action

nice. my spair wheels are exactly that 15x7 ET38 QUOTE (slow bus @ Mar 29 2010, 07:32 PM) They have 38 stamped on the back of them so assuming they are 38. It is the biggest rim you can fit under the guard of an excel, and I only paid $100 for the set, they are strainght balanced and no cracks
so using 4 of the QR "special" tyres, wheels and tyres will be under $500  I have pulled half a 20l bucket of sound deadener out already and still have the front to go, going to attack the doors and rear section with a grinder to pull out more weight, with a bit of work I think you can get them under 900kg including cage  |

It may be possible to run a race / sprint / Hillclimb series over 5 or 6 different tracks if there is enough interest. |

QUOTE (nodrog @ Mar 30 2010, 04:12 PM) Who do we contact to check on other sizes? those are the sizes closest to the requirements for the Excels. Let me know what other sizes you need and I can follow up on them. pretty certain you can get them in big sizes for bigger cars etc. |

QUOTE (trackattack @ Mar 30 2010, 08:11 AM) I personally would like the rule to be - that uncaged cars cant remove or modify any of the original metalwork. - that 6 point fully caged cars with both side intrusion bars can remove non structural metalwork, but not alter the exterior panels. Unless there is a huge backlash against this then I will probably instigate the above. what do people think ? I Already knocked the front on my car and the metal in these is light weight and very workable I would keep as much as the metal as you can, i have most my interiour out but i have some with full cars doing 4 sec's better that me and i am a light weight guy, focus on engine health and getting around corners, tyres |
