I'd be interested in competing next season, but only if the Civics and the like would be able to have more internal engine and brake mods.
The way I see it now, they have little or no chance against the AWD Subaru turbo or the likes of the Safronas BMW.
I spoke to a couple of the Honda drivers competing and they thought similarly.
I think the series is slightly imbalanced right now.
If I pay over $700 for an entry fee, I want a fair shot at winning some of it back.
Just my opinion, and I'd love to be proved wrong.

 

the situation is well known right now...however next year reward weights will be given and the rules revised as necessary ( http://www.ustcc.com/RULEBOOK/ustcc_rules.pdf )...with weight restrictions that will help negate some advantages the higher powered machines have allowing for more competitive races

as for allowing interal engine modifications kinda runs against the purpose of the series...the goal was to offer a low cost national series opening the door for amatuers who want to step up a level and professionals to stay competitive...anyway...the 2000 champion was Richard Holdener in a gsr equipped del sol, and in 2001 James Sofranos in a 328i...so 3 different mfgrs have won in its 3 year existence

please let me know if you need anything else

EP, yosh you guys signed up yet????

 

my car is slowly but surely undergoing mods to the less streetable side

yshi - whose been driving more and more of his LC lately

 

Is it ok if I post information on the USTCC or other Nasa Events (like driving schools or other amateur racing series)? I was always wondering it I'd be interested in watching some races or taking schools until I met someone else who told me what to do. Thanks.

 

I'd be interested in more info if it's cool.
