The Multi-Class Challenge-CLOSED!!
« on: October 10, 2008, 08:09:34 AM »
It’s been a while since we dropped in on Tiny Terror Racing.  The spec series is off to a fine start, and may get a sponsor soon enough.  Fndr is teaching and studying in the daytime, and tuning and racing on the weekends.  Trouble is, you tend to lose track of some folks when you move, or just run into them at the track.  Fndr has finished grading papers, and is about to call it a night when Lynn walks into his basement “office,” the place where he grades papers, does research, overhauls cars, and God knows what else.

Lynn:  Hey babe.

Fndr:  Hey, what’s up?

Lynn:  Not a lot.  Hey, what are we doing this week?  You said something about running American Iron?

Fndr:  Well, with the move, we missed the Anniversary Muscle, Inc. challenge, and things are kind of all over the place, but I’d like to, yeah.

Lynn:  Well, I’ve done a little digging.  There’s a race over at Road Atlanta, one at Sebring, and one at Daytona.  Which one do you want to try?

Fndr (looking at the schedule):  How about all of them?

Lynn:  Really?  How?  I mean, we only have one spot on the trailer, and they’re not all even the same class. 

Fndr:  Yeah they are.

Lynn:  Look again.  They all run D Friday, all C Saturday, and all B on Sunday.  You’ll have to take one car and all the spare parts you can put together.

Fndr:  Hm.  I hate it when you’re right.  OK, let’s start figuring out the best way to do this.

Lynn (chuckling as she eyes her wedding band):  OK.  But next year, I’M picking the anniversary trip.

Fndr (counting his blessings): Yes, dear.

The Cars:  Any but the Charger, Chevelle, or Corvettes.

The Tracks:  Sebring, Sunset Peninsula, Road Atlanta

The Class:  All three Muscle, Inc. specs, B, C, and D.

Rules:  Pick one car (at a time).  Run it on all three tracks.  The catch is, you have to run one track in D, one track in C, and one track in B.  You can run the 500-KR in C class at Sebring, but that means at Sunset, you have to build it up to B or strip it down to D.  If you go to B at Sunset, you’re running Road Atlanta in D class.  Good luck, and have fun!

Yeah, this one will be fun.  I'm thinking the Z-28 may be my first attempt.

I wonder what the tranny could do  ???

I think I may go torqaholic this challenge - Trans Am, Cuda, maybe a little Goat if I have the time (which I won't)

Yeah, I'm just going to run a few myself.  I'm paring down my list, and maybe I should explain why.  This was born of my curiosity about the best "all-around" muscle cars, given our specs.  The QR thing has been done and done again, so I decided to pick three Real World tracks (assuming Peninsula is Daytona) where one would be reasonably likely to run them.  My candidates:

Z28.  This is the best-handling of the muscle cars.  It deserves a shot, even if only as a baseline.
Boss.  This one dominates (at least for me) in D class.  It doesn't build much more top speed as it goes up the ladder, though.
500KR.  It's just damn cool.  Also, it showed well in the first C challenge.

The best car in B, at least for me, was the ZR1, but since it can't play in C or B, so it's out.  The Trans Am is pretty good, but so is the Boss.  I figure we'll see.

Score.  I can't wait to get started.  I'm thinking the 500KR first.

OK, what tracks are we running at. And what class per track.

D Class = Road Atlanta .....short or full?
C Class = Sebring .....short, club, full?
B Class = Sunset ..... oval, full infield, short, rev?

Just a bit of clarification.
There are only three true sports
Auto Racing, Bull Fighting, and Mountain Climbing.
Everything else are children's games that men play

If I read it right you can choose what class you want to run at what track... such as..

Sebring = D
Sunset  = C
Rd At = B

Or you could go...

Sebring = B
Sunset  = D
Rd At = C

I don't know which ribbons though... I'd think it would be the short tracks at Sebring and Sunset and the long track at Rd Atlanta... I could be wrong though..  :D

Full ribbons on all three.  And yes, you may run your choice of class/track combinations.

It might just be my cold but this one is making my head hurt.  If only they allowed a build to be stored with a tune that would be sweet for this.
