Also Can we run with the top down or do I need to bring my hardtop?

Have to make an account and then search for it, it's under Maverick Region. Might be an easier way, but that's how I did it.

I think we can run with/out a hard top. Mine is in the paint shop, so I will not have a hard top.

According to the PCA website, you can run with top down, windows up or down (not partial), and hardtop is not required. I don't think there is a rollbar requirement for their TT, only their DE events.

I have run their time trials before in my NC without a problem, and I am 99% sure the NA/NB cars have run them w/o roll bars.

Can anyone confirm that it is the 1.3 that we'll be running? And if so, which direction - CW or CCW?

Ken O, or altiain - got any videos we can study?

I've got an old one here from the RX-8. Sorry about the video quality.

I only bothered with the camera in one session yesterday, but I may have a few decent laps from the S2000. Let me take a look tonight.

I highly doubt MSR would let LSRPCA run the 1.3 CW. I've done it once in an instructor clinic with Apex. It's a hoot, but it's way too dangerous in that direction for newbs. I don't even think they let members run that configuration.

Hell, the 1.3 is tricky going CCW.

Thanks Doug, Ken, and Iain. These will be helpful!

1:08.9 was my best on Star Specs. I have the data but cannot remember what video it overlays on. It was from 2009.

That's a pretty good lap time. Best I ever managed in the RX-8 was the 1:11.08 in the video I posted earlier. Hollis managed a 1:08.6 in the One Lap CRX yesterday.

Here's some much better quality footage from yesterday morning. Looks like 1:13-1:14s to me (I wasn't running data, so who knows?) I need better shocks and something a little stickier than my daily driver 'kook V12s. A set of ASTs and 255 RS-3s and I think I could get it into the 1:09s. ;)

Thanks for the videos guys - really looking forward to this. Any idea when we'll get confirmation? I'm still pending..

Running rules at MSR:
I was concerned by someone's post about running top down so I checked with Travis.
We have to run the event at MSR under DE rules. Tops up unless you have an approved roll bar and arm restraints.
Remember this is a real racetrack and they have minimum rules we have to adhere to.

*IF* I can find them, I willl bring my arm restraints. They worked with my center latch harness...but do not know they will work with stock seat belt.
