[David Buschur]

I want to thank Trevor for volunteering to be apart of the autocross competition that has been added to the event for the 18th Annual, 2010 meet.

I truly appreciate your friendship and we all appreciate your support of Buschur Racing and the event.

[SloRice]

I like how you split it up into the individual drag racing classes for the auto-x too. Like I said in the last thread, an ESA car is going to kick the crap out of an EE car in the “King of the Evo” class.

I would split the event up into two groups. The first group would DSA, ESA and B1. The second group would be DST, EE and B2. The TT class can go wherever it wants and can be fit in whenever there is time.

The morning would be time trials and T&T like usual. When the event is ready to start, Group 1 goes to the auto-x course and does 2-4 runs while Group 2 goes to the drag strip and plays round robin. Once everything is done, Group 1 goes to the drag strip and plays round robin and Group 2 goes to the auto-x course for 2-4 runs.

Since I’m part of EE, doing it this way gives me a chance at winning the EE drag racing class, EE auto-x class and the “King of the EE Evo” class. If someone doesn’t want to auto-x or drag race, they simply don’t participate in that part of the event.

This is how Winged Warrior is ran and it works well.

[Rogue]

I would consider running mine in the autox events. And I would still be "stock appearing turbo" =)


But I think your right in dropping/consolidating the classes. Being that its the first year you might not have a massive turnout for it. A lot of people that show up dont even visit this board so info has to trickle to them through their local boards and it may take a year or two to really get the autox stuff in full swing.

[SloRice]

I like how you split it up but remember we also have a tire issue, unless the rules that apply to get into the drag classes just carry over. Also, keep in mind it will impossible for anyone to compete in the normal drag racing classes, it just can't be done. While the normal drag racing eliminations are going on some people will be autocrossing, so there's no way for them to race in the drag classes.

This autocross class will be a stand alone autocross/drag competition. The best autocross time combined with the best drag time, then divided in half. The total will then place you in each class.

I'm going to try to esplain my idea a little better. lol

You split the classes up into 2 groups. Each group has 3 classes in it as outlined below. You only compete against people in your own class. Your class just happen to be grouped with 2 other classes.

So as you can see, you will either autocross or do the drag racing eliminations in the first session and then vice versa in the second session.

Doing it this way allows every racer the opportunity to take part in every part of the competition, whether its just the drag race portion, auto-x portion or "King of the Class" portion.


Here's an example of the schedule of events that could take place.

Group 1           Group 2
- DSA             - DST
- ESA             - EE
- B1              - B2



SCHEDULE OF EVENTS

12PM - 2PM
Group 1 - autocross
Group 2 - drag racing eliminations


2PM - 2:30PM
Break in the action (switch tires, get your car to the next event, get food, etc)


2:30PM - 4:30PM
Group 1 - drag racing eliminations
Group 2 - autocross


5PM - 5:30PM
Award Ceremony

[SloRice]

As for the tire comment - if someone has auto-x tires, let them run them.....Kumho V710's and Hoosier A6's are both DOT approved.

[SloRice]

For the drag racing part of the "King of the Hill" competition, why not just use the best run from the drag racing round robin elimination, with a minimum of 2 runs? So if you get knocked out in the first round, you still go back to the staging lanes for one more "exibition" run to see if you can better your time for the "King of the Hill"

Also, the more I think about it, its kinda retarded to have a "king of the Hill" for the bracket classes (from a drag racing standpoint).

[gastroker]

I'll be there again! Only drag racing for me. No autocross

[JimmyBlueTSI]

I'll leave the scheduling to you guys. But I do know a lot of the New England guys are very much looking forward to joining this year. Can't wait.

[David Buschur]

Glad to hear you are coming back Jimmy! Please spread the word for us, especially about the addition of the new "MAX EFFORT" classes.

[StreetThisEvo]

I'm gonna autocross on the bike slicks haha. JK...

Can't wait should be great fun.

[PORTnPOLISH97]

I have some questions. In any given class you are reqired to run the same tires in drag and autox , correct?
Also I was wondering if the new rules are eliminating the bracket classes? So if your not an eliminator or stock appearing you a TT? I am pretty concerned due to the fact my fwd is going to be very very limted compared to the awd in the drag racing. I'm not looking so much to be uber competive but I want to hold my own.

[David Buschur]

portnpolish,

I have spent more time considering the class structure and rules. They have been re-written for the MAX EFFORT class again. Please refer to post #1 and let me know if you still have questions. I think it is clear enough now that anyone can get it.

Also, please spread the word about the event and this new class for the event. I'd like as much input as possible but I really like how it is now.

[PORTnPOLISH97]

Okay that really clears it up. I guess the only thing I don't get is the bracket class. Is you time your shooting for you time that you pick like bracket racing or the fastest possble? Only trying to clear things up for others. I plan to run the. Bracket 2 class.

[David Buschur]

You have to run the car as fast as you can in the drags and autocross. So if you only fit into one of the bracket classes then you also will be required to only run as quick as the class allows.

[DragNRacing.com]

Boy, did I miss the boat on this one ;p Must have lost the notifications when it got reposted.

I like the classing. One question on the B2 class though. You mentioned if they go faster than 13.00 the time will not count. What if the car runs faster than 13.00 twice? Will they be DNF'd for the event? Same for Bracket 1 if they do not run faster than 13.00....DNF?

Cars like the Magnum would fit in the B1 class, correct?

[David Buschur]

DragNRacing,

The classes are seperated by TURBO SIZE only. The Bracket classes are set up so someone with a slower car or maybe a non turbo Mitsubishi product can still run the Max Effort classes. So a FWD non turbo Colt would be in the Bracket 2 class and would go as fast as he could in the drags. The idea behind this is someone can't sign up for ME/B2 and click off a 9 second drag pass. Having the ET limits in effect for the B1 and B2 classes on the drag strip will hopefully keep those classes as closely matched for total time as possible.

As for the Magnum, since it's an EVO with a stock appearing turbo on it, you would be running the ME/ESA class.

Thanks for the clarifications David. That make alot more sense now and think it will work out well.

I am still a bit confused on this though "Bracket 2-Standard Bracket 2 rules apply, ** NOTE that you can NOT post an ET in the drags faster than a 13.00 second run. If you do your submitted drag time will NOT COUNT towards your total."

Since this is like golf and you want the lowest possible time (score), it would be to my benefit to enter Bracket 2, run a 10 second pass and not have any time count for my total. That would mean my only time is for autox and if I had the lowest autox time, I would for surely win...were you implying that the total time for autox and drag would not count if someone in B2 runs faster than 13.00 seconds?

Will the Genesis Coupe fit into the the B1 and B2 classes or should a TT class possibly be implemented for the Max Effort event to allow non-4G63/4 cars to run?

One more thought as well, does the same driver for the drag portion have to drive the car in the autox portion?

[David Buschur]

Trevor you trying to aggravate me? haha

IF you are DQ'd from the B2 class for breaking out then you can not win the Max Effort Class. A car like the Magnum is obviously quicker than 13.00 in the 1/4 mile so it would have no business in the B2 class. I think the best idea is to change how that works. IF you run B2 and run quicker than 13.0 then the best ET you will receive is 13.00. I think if we do that though a penalty should be implemented for someone who does go quicker, like hitting a cone, 2 seconds.

So it would work like this. If you sign up for Max Effort B2 the quickest you are allowed to run for an ET is 13.00. If you run a 12.50, for example, that would default your time to 13.00 and you'd have to take 2 second penalty on top of that. This would mean some needs to run as close as they can to the 13.00 cut off for the class. It would help with some smart ass who put a 12.00 car in Bracket 2 also. IF you actually ran a 13.00 pass then the time would stand of course and place you as low as possible in that class.

How's that sound?

[DragNRacing.com]

Ummmmm...No! I know better, hahahaa

That sounds good!

I know you are debating on the non-mitsu turbo/non turbo cars but what do you think about the two driver question?
