Winter Heat Rules and Discussion

Tsukuba was the slugfest that keep the crowd coming back to fill the grandstands every race. Congrats to Wingnut396 for his first TORA win.

Rumor has it that he may become a regular in the next season of the TCC.

BTW, he has stated that he will be joining us here at TORA soon.

Other than you, I'm pretty sure I'm the only one who has ran all the races. Although I have to say, even coming top 3 in these races is more satisfying than winning in a public lobby with noobs.

Also, I need to build a chump car or two. Not sure if I'll be home for new year's eve, but that's the plan as of right now.

Is there a car list for the crap wagons? I can't seem to place my finger on what to buy, that fits...

I built one though i might not make it cuz got to work a half day. I found that there are only about the lowest 6 or 7 f class cars work though i only looked at RWD cars. On anouther note what time di the races today start central time?

ChumpCar is at 2PM Central.

Today's races in Central time: Minis @ 3PM, Vipers @ 5PM

after the overwhelming success of the MMTCC event here, I will be posting details about the new season both here and on the main site (mmtcc.webs.com) very soon.

Mikey, let me know when you get on. I got some questions about chumpcar

There are cars that start well above 100 PI that have potential to drop down. Drivetrain conversions, turbo glitches, bling wheels, and downforce all take the PI down considerably at that level.

I was up late last night throwing stuff together with lack if sleep so I want all there but I ended up with a GNX rusted N faded with a for sale sign on it and painted numbers... So I'll be doing that lol but what times are good with the overweight cars?

I honestly can't remember. I am thinking 1:20s. I don't even know which class I am running yet, and won't until race time, as I will run whichever class most needs another car in it. But if there is a class with zero cars, I won't run it, as one car in a class would be counterproductive.

1:20s for the overweight class? I think I need to recheck my GNX cuz hitting low 1:01s lol

not gonna make it got some stuff that came up.... damn

Remember: Tomorrow's ChumpCar 100 is one hour earlier. 8PM GMT, 3PM EST, 12Noon PST

I have no idea just how long this race will take, but my guess is slightly less than 2 hours.

ChumpCar 100 Laps of Road Atlanta Club

Group 1: Overweight. >3300 lbs. 550 PI A Class. No Aero

Car list: Buick Regal GNX, 1996 Chevrolet Impala, 1992 Camaro, 2002 Camaro, 2002 Trans Am, 1995 BMW M5, Dodge Ram, GMC Syclone, Dodge Stealth, 1994 Nissan Fairlady Z, 1992 Toyota Supra

Group 2: Underpowered. <200 HP. 400 PI C Class. No Aero

Car List: DeLorean, Pinto, 1978 Mustang II King Cobra, Dodge Shelby Omni, 2003 Focus, Honda CRX, Del Sol, 2000 Prelude, Hyundai Tuscani, 1994 Mazda MX5 Miata, Nissan 240 SX, 1995 Mitsubishi Eclipse, VW Rabbit, Toyota MR-S, Sprinter Trueno

Group 3: Crapwagons. 100 PI Unlimited build. Aero OK, drivetrain swaps OK

Format: 100 Laps, split into two 50 lap segments.

I will set the end race timer to 2:30. After the race leader has passed the line at the end of the first 50 laps, everyone finish the lap that they are on then park in the T1 runoff area. After the last car has finished his lap, I will pause and take lap totals of everyone for the first segment. Race 2 will start via lobby points, with the leader on pole for race 2. Race will finish the same way as race 1, as everyone finishes the lap that they are on after the winner crosses the line on lap 50. Then the laps will be totalled for the two halves, and that will determine the official finish, with who finished higher in race 2 as the tie breaker.

Fixed my GNX runnin mid 1:03s now lol

If you're running 1:03's, I might actually have a chance in the heavy weights. I was running 1:02.3's in my supra. Might be able to crack 1:01's with a better driver. I already have a crx for the underpowered class...but based on past experience, the crx wont be competitive.

Yeah my strong suit is not in open builds lol but I'll be fun and that's what I'm looking forward too

Underpowered, no aero or no adj aero??

No aero on the two upper classes.

built a crapwagon though might move it to underpowered since its the pinto. Whats the crapwagon times i dont think it will work as that class.

Sorry Red Dirt, the race was today. As for Crapwagon times, I think we hit 1:21s on our very best laps. 1:22s were common.
