E30zone dragstrip challenge.

[steve1066]

Class A up to 2L
Class B 2L and over
Class C 3L and over
Class D Turbo / Supercharged / NOS / Regardless of engine size

Now before you all start wingin about Class D I will point you in the direction of
The Renault 5 GT Turbo which is a 1.4L that will do mid 13s all day long with a couple of tweaks. And with a lot of tweaks 12s

[HairyScreech]

but it isnt fare to put crappy m20 turbos and supercharged 318s against 3.5liter m30 turbos and s50's.

[Colonel Sanders]

crappy m20 turbos???

[HairyScreech]

theres a 2.1 IS with 170 hp, id say thats fair against a 325

[march109]

But we all drive e30's?!?!

What was wrong with the system we all agreed on yesterday?

[oakey]

No need to take it so seriously ffs. Just put your names down bitches!

[HairyScreech]

nothing, i was planing to post this yesterday, i just think the current cagorys rule out any stock displacement 325s and any non turbo m30s.

edit - thinking about it there isnt any stock (bmw oem) cars with more than 2.8 anyway.

[old_skool]

Looked very fair to me.

how?

stock 325 would run in the B1 catagory and would run against 2.7 and 2.8 strokers, remembering that the highest power stroker on the zone is 250bhp and if far from ordinary most 2.7's produce 188-210 depending upon construction, but then the b25 with alot of money thrown at it must be in the 190 bracket.

A non turbo M30 would run in C1 as its over 2950cc and a period engine! and would perhaps be the only engine that would qualify. Don't know of many period engines of higher displacement being used.

[Colonel Sanders]

im gettin bored of all these catagorys now, i just wanna run mine for a bit of fun an see how fast i can get on a stock bottom...
im determined to get into the 11s with the new motor, il be happy with 12s with this one.

[steve1066]

Well if you won't to make it totally fair you have make it an auto test
That way a well maintained 316 with a good driver will be to addle to beat the most out rages E30 out there

Were talkng about a zone day out to Santa Pod on a RWYB day, its a bit of fun coupled with some healthy competition.

Don't think Santa Pod raceway would appreciate us hijacking the 1/4 mile for an autocross.

Maybe an idea for another event though!

[steve1066]

it will stop the wingers

[HairyScreech]

aint wingeing, my cars hardly going to be in the running anyway as its purely a daily driver, just trying to cover all bases to stop the fights later on. which i sure there will be.

i guess it might be easyest to see whos in the running with what and tweek the catagorys if its needed after we know whats going to be there.

[march109]

The whole pod idea was born to stop the willy waving and have a bif of fun. Most of the willy waving concerned BHP and 1/4 mile times and how they may or may not be directly linked in some zone e30's like the ones with tonnes of ICE and lots of show, versus monster power but no traction and less powerfull cars with good traction and no weight.

As cool as an autocross would be it on't stop the willy waving and would probably get us banned from the pod. As after all we are going to an open day its not just us going to be there!

It should also stop the arguements regardless of wether you take a prize or not!

Now let the willy waving/lame excuses/crying commence until September.

[d6dph]

Trophy idea, To be mounted onto clear perspex, Hopefully on a stand of some description. I may have a contact who can make them for me.



(Not sure about the "champion" bit but winner sounds a bit ghey too)

ive never done anything like this before, do we have to wear helmets?

[fuzzy]

yes, but you can hire them on the day.

[fuzzy]

they are usually scrutineered first as well so no loose items or tools in the boot,no oil leaks etc

Mate thats awesome, and I prefer champion to winner!

[Colonel Sanders]

il bring my own lid then, no oil leaks??? its an m20!!!!

[d6dph]

http://www.bmwshow.co.uk/rwyb.htm

Rules list here.

It says that a lid is required for all open top vehicles and cars that will cross the line at over 110mph.

[Ziggy]

I wasn't there last year, but in '06 they weren't making cab owners wear lids either - presumably just putting the roof up was enough!

[Car-Nut]

Sounds a good day out .......
