TBSP it is then, don't want nobody thinking i'm trying to "cheat". I'll win that class for us. Who's taking the other classes?

HAHAHA.........Good Luck.

Do you guys not give both Tire pax and Class pax? I know that in Dothan you get both and it really helps the people who dont have a Street tire class pax higher then just there stock or prepared class.

Not sure what you mean by this.

The way the SCCA runs PAX classes is to append a prefix to the base class (such as BSP). So, TBSP would be a BSP classed car running street tires, competing with other cars on street tires. Using the PAX modifier, this BSP car can run with THS, TCSP, TSSM, etc. The PAX modifier handicaps the "faster" class to balance competition. Raw times are unaffected.

ST classes can't run in the T PAX class because they already have street tires calculated in to their PAX modifier, where other classes have a modifier based on race tires.

A driver is not able to enter more than once, so it's not possible to run in T class and N class or any other PAX class at a single event.

So, that's how we run it. I'm not sure how that compares as I can't really gather much info about classing from your post. John simply said that if you are in TBSP and someone else is in BSP and runs a faster raw time, they also have a better PAX time because you share the same BSP PAX modifier. Adding the "T" doesn't change the PAX, only your class and direct competition.

And yeah ... it's off topic.

Are you thinking of an additional multiplier for those running on street tires? We did that in Huntsville several years ago. If you ran HS on street tires, you'd get the base pax and then an additional 3% for the street tires. The 3% number came from some published results. That's probably less now. Anyway we did this for maybe a year or two.

At the Evolution Super Shootout they used 2.5% (additional 0.975 modifier). It worked great until it rained at the first event.....

Now they only apply the additional factor if it doesn't rain.

Yes. i know when we race in Dothan we get our BS pax and an additional .97 pax.

Hahahahaha. Surely I'm not the only one that at least smiled at this?

So...anyone want to let me co-drive with them on Sat? I broke a rocker arm on my e30 at the Chasing the Dragon hillclimb this past weekend :-/

[jledford]

I'd be interested to see what my E30 should be doing, you're more than welcome to co-drive with me Mark. Just let me know.

[e30Racer]

Done! Thanks Jerry. Keepin' it in the e30 family.

OUCH!! I did this very thing with my last E30, and to add some more luck on top it was right in the middle of the head on the #4. Had to take the head off. Not a happy camper. Sorry to hear that.

It was the number 3 on and the side of a mountain, with wet muddy grass is not the place to be changing out rocker arms. Pretty much have to take the head off to replace them, unless you have holes cut out in the firewall for easy channeling of the rocker arm guides out the back of the head.

Oh well, time for upgrades to "Old Faithful"

Lets see, three cars, three motors out. Sounds like fun.

I was going to say at least your cars are where you live, but I don't think that holds true anymore..

Also, i'm looking for a codrive as well, i'll even buy you lunch!
