Besides, it would probably be a good idea to keep a consistent rule set between SoCal and NorCal since it would offer the chance for easy crossover between the series. Quote:

Perhaps you can share what kept people coming back in SoCal. Was it really that people were just gung-ho for the series? Was it a tight knit group of core friends that keep it going? Quote:
It also hurt that that the SoCal group "sponsored" (read: bought) the racing/track sub-forum on S2ki.com and basically censcored/snuffed out much of our visibility in our most influential forum. Complete disservice to NorCal because the SoCal series did absolutely nothing for our market. Quote:

I do agree regarding the stringent rules: I never ran NCRC's chrono series because I don't have a roll bar. I legitimately pass broomstick. I was told my first and only NCRC day, that if I went 2 off, I'd be sent home, because I didn't have a roll bar. Quote:

I guess if you're serious about winning trophies, you'll read the rules carefully and build a car to the maximum under one of the predefined classes. I could be totally wrong here but I feel like the vast majority of the NorCal community that is interested in doing track days, is more out to have fun and learn how to be a better driver.
At least that is where I stand personally. I am not particularly competitive, but if there is a system in place (86CUP) already and it's a minimal cost to participate (transponder rental, maybe some other enrollment costs) then I'd join in it whenever I can. I don't currently have the means/freedom to campaign an entire season in the competition, but that might change in the future and I'd love to be a part of this anyway I can. Oh and let me put in a good word for CSG Mike and CounterSpace Garage... well before they ever started sponsoring anything, they've been a great resource to me and to this 86 community sharing all kinds of knowledge and help to anyone who asks. Reason enough alone to encourage folks to support them and buy any performance-oriented goodies from them when possible.

Let's say, you and I are in the same run group / same session but your car is in the stock class and mine is in the modified, your times will pool with only those in stock class, mine will pool with those in modified class. Your class depends on the points given by the mods on your car. This could very well exist, but let's say a driver who has a low-scoring car (stock, street class) just happens to be so fast that he dominates that class - no one in that class is relatively close, then that car/driver can be placed with other drivers (regardless of car class) who has relatively similar times. @CSG_Mike falls in this category of "Super Modified" when the modified class has far more mods in their cars.

There will be no extra enrollment fee. The transponder fee as of now IS $25 but depending on the level of participation, that may be reduced and/or packaged into an 86Cup registration. What you pay with NCRC is what you pay, 86Cup participation is voluntary. That said, if you chose NOT to participate, you would still be invited to anything 86Cup related. You just may not be able to win anything 86Cup related as well. Just because you don't participate doesn't mean you can't enjoy 86 ownership like the rest of us.
Schedule wise, NCRC has ~28 tracks day, some of which are also Chrono days. Following suit of SoCal's 12 days, of which only 9 are counted, I'd like your help to pick the 12 days. I've been told that holding the 86Cup days with the Chrono days is beneficial. So if you have a preference of days, you can post it here or you can PM me. Obviously high participation is the goal so if most people can't attend a particular track day (weekday, holiday, etc), then we may not choose those days. Also, if we can conclude to a set of track days, I will forward it to NCRC and see what "encouragement" they may or can provide.

In previous Chrono run groups, it was hard to get all of the people in that wanted to participate because they weren't at the skill level of Open group (most chrono participants) and certain NCRC approved people from Point-by.
Is the concept that 86cup won't run in the chrono group and the participants just run in their natural run group (solo, point-by) and hope they can get enough clean laps and/or point-bys to record a decent time? I remember watching a video w/ PMok @ Laguna Seca awhile back where he posted captions in the vid about how frustrated he was about not getting a point-by from a red S2k in the solo group. Obviously, that sort of thing will kill a time attack. |

In terms of schedule i think saturdays are best. And while I may be in the minority due to it being closer to me, could one or two of the 12 be Buttonwillow? They have some on the ncrc schedule and since socal runs it to it would be nice to see how we stack up.
