mwilson7 Posted November 15, 2004 Share Posted November 15, 2004 It has been suggested on some other forums that there is going to be an East Coast AI Series in 2005. Can anyone shed light on this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karluver Posted November 17, 2004 Share Posted November 17, 2004 I read something on the EMRA web site about a North East AI series, but they are not affiliated with NASA, from what I under stand, a group of A-Sedans and ITE cars got together and formed a group similar to AI. They are going to run in the North East with selected EMRA dates, and also do some Summit Point dates with NASA AI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff F Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 Yowza, there's a well written ruleset 9.5:1 rwhp to weight ratio maximum.9:1 rwtq to weight ratio maximum. 4.85:1 combined rwhp + rwtq to weight ratio maximum I'm just a simple engineer, but my calculator says that if you were right on 9.5:1 on hp and 9:1 on torque, you'd be at 4.63 combined... so you can't legally make it to 4.85:1 combined without violating the hp or tq. Minimum 52% front, maximum 48% rear weight distribution Once again, twice as many rules as needed. Stock style front or rear suspension - sub 75 lbsBoth - sub 150 lbs What does "stock style suspension" mean? Dodge vipers - add 150 lbsFord GT - add 150 lbs Yeah, let me just go ahead and pull 200 HP out of my Ford GT. I'll just leave the blower belt off...

swhiteh3 Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 Umm Jeff.... 4.63:1 results in MORE power than the 4.85:1 limit. Check your math. It looks like these guys have been reading what's going on in NASA, and tool a few of the ideas that have been thrown around without any real attempt at being logical about it. Hmm.....

Jeff F Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 Good point... but it still seems like one more rule than needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnbasf Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 What about the East Coast series?? Back on track here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karluver Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 I spoke to the guys in that group, the info on the web site is old and has not been updated yet. They are going to run AI rules since they intend to run several races with NASA at Summit The only exception is they are going to let vettes run up to a C-4 with a weight penalty tbd, but the vettes have to run on the same size tires and hp to weight as AI + the added weight penalty. Since I am in the North East I am going to run with them, most of AI races are to far south for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does NASA just let anyone sign up for the big bore race and not actually belong in a class? --chad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Watson Posted November 21, 2004 Share Posted November 21, 2004 Ladies and Gentlemen, please let me clear a few things up. We are NOT affiliated in any way with NASA or the AI series. We are simply a small group of racers from the northeast who race with EMRA. We like racing with emra in thier ST classes because its fairly local and fun. We just wanted a new class that is more competitive so we formed our own club and made up some rules similar to AI rules so that we could also race in AI when it was within driving distance. Sorry for the not so hot website but its free and I'm not that computer literate. The website and rules are not set in stone yet. Our club is only a month old and we plan to have our first get together to hash out all the rules and stuff shortly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnbasf Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 People have called me about this?? Any news??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Watson Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 Our series is right on track. We plan to run the full emraracing.org sprint race schedule, one emra 1 hour enduro, and one AI race, all depending on the schedules set by the above groups. Please visit our website for more info at http://www.geocities.com/northeastiron and that should help you out. Our class rules are similar to AI rules so we can run AI when they are within driving distance. The tracks we plan to run at are pocono north, pocono south, pocono double infield, lime rock park, watkins glen, beavrun, and summit point.

JWL Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 John- We're still trying to get the dates selected and work out how we will score this deal.
