roadracetransam Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 #1 Currently there is +12 for changing suspension monting points, let it be 1 or 20 actual mounting points. Could we separate the front and the back of the car: +6 for changing front suspension mounting +6 for changing back suspenson mounting #2 Since in most cars with full roll cages the back seat needs to be removed for instalation, could we make the removal of back seat like the dook gutting and NASCAR door bars? Make rear seat removal free with roll cage. #3 Cars equiped with torque converters -4. #4 Black cars -8. OK, ignore #4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The back needs to be modified and chopped up to still fit, when you can't squeeze back there anyways. But if i have to reinstall and mangle my rear seat back for -2, i may Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
860TTC Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 If you have a roll cage you should use the Alt Weight method. Sounds like an unnecessary rule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbrew8991 Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 I'd like to request an addition to the online calculator minimum competition weight for your car it would either be 99lbs below the official listing for that car or if you're using the Alt. Weight Method the weight should be easy to calculate. this should clear up a bit of confusion and lessen the number of times Greg gets asked this about every single car that competes next year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom A Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 it would either be 99lbs below the official listing for that car or if you're using the Alt. Weight Method the weight should be easy to calculate.Alt method doesn't work like that this year. If the OEM curb weight used for base classing purposes above in 6.3.2 (no driver, with fluids and fuel tank filled) minus actual vehicle minimum weight (with driver)* is greater than: 5 lbs +1, 20 lbs +2, 35 lbs +3, 50 lbs +4, (snip)… *Actual vehicle minimum weight is the vehicle’s lightest weight with the driver and safety gear, during any competition session. Any driver/team who’s vehicle at impound does not meet the minimum weight that they have declared on their car classification sheet may be disqualified and lose all accrued points for the season if the number of modification points based on the lighter actual weight puts the car in a higher competition class.

kbrew8991 Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 that was posted before the new rules adding your minimum weight to the calculator would really save a buncha questions tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
