As per our "in-depth" discussion on the forum last time, can I get out of cone duty if I sign up for photography duty? I'll only lug my gear out if the weather stays dry though, and will gladly serve cone duty if it is wet.

Hey Lloyd,

For new members wishing to use their free event credit, just do as you have done and pre-reg by posting in this thread. This allows us to prefill our timing system with your car info to speed things along. Then on the morning of the event, just check in with the registration folks under the big red tent and tell them you are using your free event.

Cheers,
Tracy

I think I may have plaid twice for myself because I had to go back and pay for Kate. I guess we'll work it out a the event worse case. PS Is it possible to run an event at BCDC with 100 drivers? UBCSCC had issues running over time with 70ppl.

The most we have done was 107 drivers, NCT1 2008. We managed 8 short runs, which is good for NCT where most novices prefer short simple course with more runs.

Nissan 240 has a 2.4 lt engine and it runs in ST. And stock rules allow you to change one sway-bar.

hmm wheres that SCCA rule book link?

[Dustin]

Stock allows front sway bar only.

Stock allows the change of just the front sway bar. Rear sway bar has to be stock and untouched, as per trim level.

You are correct about the displacement. Ken AY's Impreza had the 2.5L motor and was STS legal.

[fanbanlo]

Hmm.. according to P. 168 in 2009_Solo_Rules.pdf, TSX w/ RSB should be in Street Touring (ST) Class... right?

Class Requirements and Restrictions:

Coupes/Sedans - 4 seats minimum (non-sports car based)

Engine Displacement:
- up to 3.1L normally aspirated or
- small turbocharged engines

specifically listed below

No Limited Slip Differentials except factory standard viscous types
