I would tend to think so, but front mounts haven't been disallowed in the past, nor are larger ones disallowed on Evos, etc.

Question: Are the security issues going to fixed this year? By issues I mean over-involvement in basic activities (like going for walks) and exceptionally rude attitudes?

Re: Proving Grounds 2012
 

So you're saying you (MAP) had not intended on teching, but BIR's staff was just late on the scene?


I also quite like Brad's idea of having a basic tech, then a class tech controlled by the event organizers.

Re: Proving Grounds 2012
 

x2, that should speed things up I would think. Let BIR do what they are good at (or at least what they have a clue about) then let MAP put them in their respective classes.

Re: Proving Grounds 2012
 

I think the true street class should be 67mm and smaller!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Proving Grounds 2012
 

haha sheeiiiiiiiit! You finna run drag radials?

Re: Proving Grounds 2012
 

We need rhino there as the band this year! they are awesome! Please try and make this happen.

Re: Proving Grounds 2012
 

No I'm thinking the AWD cars need 67mm to run with those 62mm Hondas!

Re: Proving Grounds 2012
 

Terrible

Mike, If you have nothing smart to say then say nothing at all.

Re: Proving Grounds 2012
 

This. I know some shit went down this past year that I only heard mention of, but security were flat-out dicks to some of us, especially compared to last year (2010) when they were over-the-top cool. Less mall-security-vs-skater-punk and more friendly-peacekeeper please.

Just get a DJ that doesn't play shitty music and isn't 17.

For racing, have you looked at other established events and maybe use a some of their format?

what about some index classes for those that aren't 62mm or stock appearing?

Re: Proving Grounds 2012
 

Stock appearing shootout rules:
Three rules for this class.
All body panels must be run.
The turbo on your 1g/2g DSM MUST appear to be a stock turbo for ANY 1G OR 2G DSM and NO nitrous.

GENERAL RULES
-NO nitrous allowed in any class except for TT, B1, B2 and Quick.
-DSE, ESA and EE are classes designed for street cars. These classes are required to run: mirrors, headlights, wipers, full body panels, full interior and full exhaust,
-Full interior includes EVERYTHING except for the trunk area. If you have a roll bar/cage that makes it impossible to re-install the back seats or some interior trim pieces that is OK.

Re: Proving Grounds 2012
 

I like your ideas, just got a few other things on my plate at the moment sir. I'll certainly reference this when we finalize the classes this year.

Re: Proving Grounds 2012
 

Sorry, just mega pumped for basically the import event of the year, there is a lot of talk in other states as well.

Re: Proving Grounds 2012
 

Me too, about 95% sure I am going to be doing the road track over drag this year. Somebody needs to call my car a 'janky piece of shit' again so I can get all pissy and motivated to put in the wrench work...

Re: Proving Grounds 2012
 

Sorry I'm a little late to this thread.

FWIW, the Zamp FSA-2 is a full-face, SA2010 approved helmet which retails for ~$170. Some vendors on eBay sell it a bit cheaper; some even have the "Make Offer" option and rumor has it they accept offers of around $115 or $120.

Re: Proving Grounds 2012
 

I beat your janky POS last year and I'll do it again this year!












*hug* did that help? :)

Re: Proving Grounds 2012
 

You're janky piece of shit better not spew coolant all over the track.

Re: Proving Grounds 2012
 

It won't even get to that point, he'll forget to put a fan on it and it'll overheat and blow up in traffic on the way up. :D
