Re: Sport Compact Car
Which VCA club is closest to the event,anyone local wanna come out for the event,open to public?.It's SEPT 25,26th (25th is
dyno@K&N facility southern CA,26th is Drags @California speedway)
FYI-There's a local guy(in the event)from Chi-town with a Skyline that went 11.1 recently,street radial.
VIPERS IBERALIS(over everything)!
PC,what's the categories?
TOOFST: I talked to Josh @ Sport Compact Car today and he said there can be no spectators as there is an insurance issue combined with the fact it is their gig and they are developing and selling their product.
Regarding the guy with the skyline, the first thing he ever said to me was how it is too bad Vipers can't hook up! I will have to show him a thing or two!
The categories are as follows:
1. Car show: Cars are judged on appearance alone by a panel of SCC staff.
2. Guru panel: Cars are judged on assembly, cleanliness, workmanship and functionality by a panel of automotive engineers from various aftermarket companies.
3. Peak power: Dyno testing: Points will be awarded for peak power.
4. Power delivery: This measurement will rate usability of the powerband by calculating the area under the torque curve.
5. Emissions test: This test will measure hydrocarbon and CO emissions. Lower is better. NOTE: Emissions testing will take place immediately after dyno testing.
6. Grandma test: Grandma Pauley will ride in each car over a street route of her choice. She will rank cars however she sees fit, but she will probably prefer the more comfortable ones......
7. Driveability test: A qualified expert chosen by the SCC staff will evaluate driveability in a typical urban environment. This non-performance test will be used to gauge a car's street worthiness and will include stop and go driving, parking maneuvers and other typical street-car activities over a short route.
8. Base price: Cars will be awarded points inversely proportional to their MSRP.
==> Anybody know what this was for the 1996 GTS?
9. Fuel economy: Fuel economy will be measured over a preset drive route. directions will be supplied for both competition and support vehicles.
Note: 10 additional points will be awarded to the cars that do the fuel economy test on 91 octane...... I will definitely be able to do this!
10. Skidpad: The SCC hotshoe skidpad driver extrordinaire, Dave Coleman will drive all cars on the skidpad as he has thousands of hours driving on the skidpad.
11. Road Course: This test will begin as a lead and follow session for those who have never seen the track. Each competitor will be given about five laps to produce the quick lap to be used for scoring. The fastest lap will be scored.
12. 0-60: 0-60 will be measured in the 1st part of the 1/4 mile
13. 1/4 mile ET
14. 60-0 braking distance
15. Gross display of HP: Competitors are given 70 seconds to show judges what they've got in a huge parking lot. Tires are unrestricted for this test. Wussing out is unacceptible. Breaking your car is encouraged. Judging will be completely subjective. Don't be a pu$$Y.(These definitions are copied right from the rules/descriptions sent to me!)
