Admin:
Several members of my forum have expressed interest in a Road race forum. Can you guys set one up??

It'd be great to expand a road race forum to include autocross, hillclimb, and circle track... speed + turning!

SCCA Solo 2 is autocross events at parking lots and tracks (our Atlanta group is renting the Talledega Grand Prix road course in August for an autocross) and are mini road courses, you against the clock, with max speeds from 70 to a little over 100 mph.

SCCA Solo 1 is run on full tracks, you against the clock, speeds up over 120, 130 and more... full road race speeds. There was just a southeast Solo 1 event that was run as a hillclimb in North Carolina.

It'd be great to have a forum to talk about the stuff that's a little different from drag racing... suspension setups, weight distribution, cooling (given the runs can be from minutes long up to hours long), road racing tires, etc.

I would love to see a road race forum. Going fast is fun but turning is even better...

I would love to see a road racing forum. Drag racing is fun but racing the curves is more fun.

So, What's happnin?

absolutely.

the drag race forum and the euro look forum both recieve a fair peppering of posts that would be better placed in a dedicated autocross or roadracer forum. i think there is a lot of interest in this at the moment, but the discussion is diluted by the lack of an appropriate forum.

yes yes, please admin, please.

ps - also subsumes an early request for a suspension and brakes forum.

Yes we need a road race and autocross forum.

i would also like to see a road race forum. maybe it will help the stereotype that bugs can only go fast in a straight line.

good Idea, would help the questions releated to they different types of racing, suspention tuning, the tire selection, the transmission selection, the class rules, how to drive questions.
Good Idea

Bugs can be fast in a straight line, on a road course, on a banked oval, off road, and on the street!
