Re: The Sebring Sportscar Classic - 8th March 10pm* (UK Time)

by **Ax4x Mikey J** Sat 9 Feb 2013 - 19:37

Okie dokie Adrian.

As I said, I knew what I was racing in the Classics as soon as I saw it on the list. I know that it is rare for anyone else to do anything with it too, which makes my pick that much more fun to race. Cool

by **Ax4x Cowboy** Sat 9 Feb 2013 - 20:10

Love the classics. I'll be there (work permitting)

the only issue i have with the trans-am list is that over half onf the cars on that list never actually raced in trans-am

True. And I have always thought it a shame that T10 felt the need to not include the 302-305 small block engines that were actually used in Trans Am, with the boat anchor big blocks as upgrades. Boss 302>Boss 429 for example.

Which ones? Not going to get rid of them, just going to re-classify them.

by **Radiation Louis** Sun 10 Feb 2013 - 16:44

the cars that were in trans-am
1971 AMC Javelin-AMX
1969 Chevrolet Camaro Z28
1970 Dodge Challenger R/T
1970 Mercury Cougar Eliminator
1971 Plymouth Cuda 426 HEMI
1968 Pontiac Firebird Trans-am
1969 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am
1973 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am SD-455

You need to include the early 70's camaro and the Boss Ford Mustang from that era as well.

by **Ax4x Mikey J** Sun 10 Feb 2013 - 20:06

If I recall correctly, in the first year of Trans Am (or the year before SCCA named the series Trans Am) the Pontiac Tempest was used with great success, which is the base model for the 65 GTO.

by **Radiation Louis** Sun 10 Feb 2013 - 22:19

but it never races as that name, by then they were on the firebird

Is this still going ahead?

Does it have any lobby times yet?

Has anybody set any lap times yet?

by **CQR Rogue** Fri 22 Feb 2013 - 18:28

yes will be going ahead sure will be posted up near time

by SECR Marko1100 Fri 22 Feb 2013 - 19:07

it says stock wheels only . is that stock rims ? or stock tyre compounds and width . thanks

by **LMR DarthMario** Fri 22 Feb 2013 - 19:35

wheels are what bolts up to the hubs, Tires is the rubber. Rims are found on Bicycles.

Any guesses/ ideas on what time this might be taking place? If this is taking place before 11pm, then I'm in, and I'm running straight for the Aston.

by SUFOAMY Fri 22 Feb 2013 - 21:52

ok, just checking in on this thread. really interested to do this support race. The friday before the sebring event, between qualify 4 and 5.

i will be there, whatever friday that is...just checking sebring race date now.
cheers

by **Radiation Louis** Fri 22 Feb 2013 - 22:24

what time on the friday before is this kicking off?

by Markius Fox Sat 23 Feb 2013 - 2:01

Asking for clarification.

No Drivetrain changes: Does it mean all drivetrain changes to include transmission, clutch, driveline and differential changes?

No Wheel upgrades: Is this to mean Tyre Compound and width, and Wheel (Rim) Style and Size?

The rest is understandable.

by SnippetyOggy86 Thu 28 Feb 2013 - 7:58

Whats going on with this thread? i asked a couple of weeks ago and was told it will be sorted closer to the time. Theres still no lobby times and questions are starting to back up without being answered. I probably won't bother with this now due to it being so unorganised.

by SUFOAMY Thu 28 Feb 2013 - 8:23

maybe they are busy with the main event. there is a lot interest here, don't bail quite yet.

by **CQR Rogue** Thu 28 Feb 2013 - 8:45

Sorry this is Adrian race I will PM him staff are not involved with this so please dont says its un-organised this is not an official TORA event its a community members event.

Ref -

No Drivetrain changes: Does it mean all drivetrain changes to include transmission, clutch, driveline and differential changes?

No RWD to AWD conversions etc

No Wheel upgrades: Is this to mean Tyre Compound and width, and Wheel (Rim) Style and Size?

Rims sizes

by SnippetyOggy86 Thu 28 Feb 2013 - 11:33

Tora ran event or not, its still unorganised.

I know that its not run by Tora and was by no means pointing the finger at any of you guys, i was just surprised at the lack of activity considering how many members have shown interest in it and that the race date is only just around the corner.

by **CQR Rogue** Thu 28 Feb 2013 - 12:07

I have PM adrian who is organising it if he dosent respond I will take over

If you need any help hosting on the Night Duncan I will lend a hand as I will be about hoping to race in this anyways plus doing Quali that night too.

by AMR of the Apex Thu 28 Feb 2013 - 15:14

Date was always going to be the friday before the race, I've put 10pm on the thread starter, but the start time is going to be awkward because this is supposed to be being broadcast, which will inevitably delay things.

There's also the Open Cup races which will also potentially delay proceedings.

by **CQR Rogue** Thu 28 Feb 2013 - 17:43

Adrian 10PM will be fine

Can you answer questions about wheels widths drive train see above ^
