GT6 SOLO Nationals

Spool and I will be there, its the first weekend in August, because the last weekend of July they are having an event also.

We can all hold hands!

In reply to Apexcarver:

Congrats on getting married!

Not to be a strictler, but SSR is C5z only, not c6z's... :)

Ive built my SMF car, in the process of the DSP car and SSR car.

1. 04 Z06 [SSR] - 28.230
2. 04 Integra Type S [SMF] - 25.621

Ill take first please... :) (for those who want to be haters about it... I ran a 25.9 the lap before lol) Im posting a video of my lap to facebook currently!

Rulebook says

Chevrolet Corvette (C6 chassis, non-ZR1) (2005-13)

I took that to mean including the Zo6. Going to have to dig a bit to be sure. Anyone got evidence one way or another on this?

*edit, 9th, 51st, 91st, and 190th places in pax at 2014 Dixie are 2007 Z06es in SSR *

By all means, open to reasonable protesting and challenges.

I like this idea. Need to pin your standings board to the top post though.

I musta miss read my rule book for it....

I see what I did. Corvette (C6 chassis, non-ZR1) (2005-13) Corvette Z06 (C5 chassis) (2001-04)

It lists the C5z but then says the C6 chassis... Reading >me

Can you give hp and weight numbers for the integra?

I think we might lax on it for stock/street, but for higher classes we should probably keep them.

I remember the weight being 988, Im not sure on the pawr... Ill look tonight

Done.

Here is the update for those who don't feel like clicking back.

Im going to try again tonight with the RSX and see if indeed I can replicate or better it.

New ES time - 99 MR2 Spyder 29.363 raw, Pax 23.90148. Forgot to grab the weight, but HP was 158.

The RSX/Integra is at 455 HP/273 Tq

I have discovered that I am not good at this...

Ran like 75 laps last night over the course of a few hours, couldnt get past my 25.6, But I did run alot of 25.7-25.9's

And I have the top time... coincidence? I think not! I must just be good at momentum around a tight quick course.

I found that running AM really messes you up for running anything else that session. I have a time drop to put in later on that.

You really have to line things up and go easy on the power at times, just like actually autocrossing. Thing is, there is such a disconnect due to it being a videogame.

Plus, so much matters on what car. I was faster in a 73 mustang than an '05

Try the SSR C6 Zo6, its delightful drifty fun!

It is! I actually rolled mine a couple of times lol. Hit the curbing just right and you'll barrell roll into the wall haha

Spool, try the Suzuki GSXR/4 for BM. Its a challenge NOT to roll it.

I noticed that the Mr.2 S would also do a nice slow roll if you hit the curbing just right with the inside wheels while the car is setting on the outside bumpstops. For that reason alone, I believe the Spyder is unsafe at any autocross, anywhere, and should be banned by the SCCA. The fact that is was almost a second and a half faster than the NA Miata I tried has nothing to do with it. The fact that my "real life" autox car is an NA Miata is, likewise, nothing but a coincidence. Think of the children!

Got Spool for SSR dominance.

Still working on something for onebadrsx. I wonder if SSR can catch it.

I think I can with some more seat time with it. The biggest trouble area for me is putting the power down on the sweeper. The car just wants to drift the entire thing lol

I was wall slamming the start/finish line almost every lap I was trying to push hard on... Its like a decreasing radius turn you just want to take fast lol.

Ill have to dick with mine some more, when I get some time, I am moving this weekend along with racing, and doing a TON of vinyl decals, last time I checked in this week I have 5 or 6 magnet sets, 2 class sets, 1 individual magnet order, 2 cars to decal, and 400 stickers to cut/weed. Busy bee is busy.

Since this is the GT6 nationals, shouldn't we be running the course backwards and combining our best times from each direction?

LOL,

I thought that would just be too complicated. There is also no way to enforce a 3 run in each direction limit.
