So who is running in the Mid-Atlantic Time Trial Series for 2003?

I am prepping the Krylon Special Lite for GT3. Has anyone run any of the hill climbs yet?

 

aight, what exactly is a hill climb. i used to roll down them as a kid, but now i roll it up. j/k but anyways, is it street or dirt. i'm speaking loosely when i say most of us aren't sure what it is.

ok I am intersted. What do the entry fees typically run?

 

don't know yet... I believe it is close to $100. 2 days of racing, looks like they get about 10 runs depending on how many "off-road" excursions they have.


You will need a roll bar / cage, and a 5/6 point harness. It looks like we are going by the GCR for the rule book. You have to be a member of the SCCA. Belts must be no older than 2 years old.

But don't go by what I say, get the GCR

 

guess they bring out the beaters good god...

 

Kinda dig that NA MR2. I have thought about putting Webers on my car just to hear that sound again. Won't happen but it would be cool. Anyway, Have fun at the event.

 

I used to keep up with the Solo I rules, but never ran because I had a road race car. Now that I don't race anymore I might want to give them a try. $100 entry fee is ok. It used to be that they allowed SOLO II SP cars with cage, cell, harness, fire system. I guess you also need drivers suit.... Hummmm. Might have to give this a try.

 

ok, here's my thoughts.

- looks like fun.
- definitely would need to get more safety items, as the autox car doesn't have cage/seats, etc. then need upgraded equipment, including brake pads/rotors. might as well just get another car, which comes to...
- need money. i'm waiting for this schooling to pay off.
- definitely interested in checking it out. keep us informed. i'd have no problem (if time allows) to take a road trips w/ some boys on the board to see what it's all about.

 

checking out the SCCA website. i noticed these rules...

"Solo Trials events are entry level events and provide a speed rush without the possible dangers of the following venues. These events can be run without a driver's suit and/or rollbar (unless you have a convertible). "
of course, MATTS is a different organization.

Also, i noticed, that my 94 accord 4 door doesn't class in anything. closest thing is 95-97 (94 is same gen??) 2 door, and that is Stock Showroom class
