What class for Improved Touring does the '96 up EX civic fall in? i cant download the new GRC off of the scca website so i was just asking if anyone knows. i know the Si is in S. thanks

 

ITA @ 2450

 

nice!!!! is there anyway someone would be nice enough to post the rules allowed for mods?

it wont let me download them and i only have last years.

 

Except for allowing 15" wheels this year, I don't think there are any changes beyond the class change at the 2450lbs weight. Of course I have not read the whole thing and they stopped putting a line next to changes from last year so I could have easily missed some things.

 

Off the top of my head, a front tow hook is now required. Was optional last year.

JRD, if you're planning on racing this year, you will need to have a hard copy of the GCR, anyways. Call the SCCA and have them send you one. They're only $20.

Speaking of, does anyone know when GCRs are being sent out to current members?

 

thanks for all of your help guys... a guy i know is letting me use his last years copy until i can get a new one to use just to get some idea's down for everything i plan to run. Im knew to this form of motorsports but not others so me and the guy ( bowie) plan to meet this afternoon to just go over the fundamentals and he's been generous enough to help me get started in the sense of helping me out.


later

 

Front AND REAR tow loops if I remember correctly

 

Why 96?

The 92-95 coupes are @ 2305 lbs

 

well honestly because i can get one extremely cheap and 100 pounds only equivalates (sp maybe?) into a 5 hp ( what would be equal to) difference. Im not really worried.

 

100lbs is huge against equal cars.

You're going to spend a bunch of $$ building, why start at a disadvantage?

 

Since you are in the SE, you should try to find Lyonel Kent and learn from all of his hard work over the last couple years. There isn't a better developed EX in the country, I'd wager. His is the previous generation to what you are talking about and, all other things being equal, RJ is right that 100# may indeed make a difference. Not nearly as much however, as would a little variance in driver skill of course.

I actually got the later cars listed in IT simply because I wanted something that was newer, for commercial reasons. It's kind of a bummer that they are heavier.

I too had trouble with the download with trouble from multiple ties on three computers until I read the text about the download link where it said something like "click here is having trouble" but was rahter hidden in the message. I did click there and downloaded the latest version of Adobe for free and then had no trouble downloading the 11+ MB file.

Try it again but this time take the time to update your reader. I don't renew my membership and license for a few months so I won' get a new print GCR for a bit but wanted to have the rules available in the finishing of my car. Having it on-line was helpful although I did have to do the software update.
