Sorry to disagree, but I wouldn't want either of those changes.
I do think that NASA allows topless and I intend to try it, but not positive about that.

Well we can take it to a vote

sbelles

It may well be slower but I'm not convinced of that. The amount of increased visibility is great though.

mmuller

I would vote against changing wheels away from OEM. Just not needed and adds expense

I have heard a bunch of rumblings but I don't want to start any (unofficial) commenting online until PCA puts it in writing. They should be sending out a notice soon?

I'll keep a running list of topics that we have brought up online (again I will hold my comments until PCA releases and I doubt all these will be addressed by them), if I missed anything copy/paste and add to the list.

• increase min weight
• aftermarket wheels
• topless
• rear wheel spacers
• springs, square setup
• different rain tire
• add LSD
• allow floor drop for tall drivers (I'm adding this one at 6'3"). I've heard some are already doing this?
• ...and I know there are a couple more but my notes are at the shop

Some criteria that can and should be used when considering any changes:

1. does it control costs?
2. does it improve the closeness of competition?
3. does it improve safety?

mmuller

I would add to the criteria - Does it improve reliability

Take out the seat mount that's on the floor. Already legal and this is what people are doing. Should allow a driver of around 6'8" to be able to drive the car

toddlamb

I was told some builders were actually dropping the floor pan. I don't believe this would be legal currently. They may have been referring to the seat mount but that wasn't the impression I got.

linzman

Now you're talking. 6'8"

mmuller

Changing the floor is not legal and easily visible to a scrutineer. I personally have never seen an SPB with the floor altered. Removing the seat base mount I see in about half the car's I look at, so I assume that's what they where referencing.

How is adding minimum weight going to increase competition or performance?

Usually classes want their weight decreased..... it must have been a typo. I take it Todd......

audipwr1

No I can't make min weight so am dragging 100lbs around over those that can.

Everyone else here is making min weight?

BostonDMD

The people that can make minimum weight should not be penalized from those whose cars are overweight......

Yes, I am one of those who can get close to minimum weight.....

sbelles

Some people don't seem to be able to get down to 2650. I was at 2735 at the glen but their scales were reading about 40# high.

I don't see how a LSD makes competition closer, adds reliability or controls cost. Nor does adding different spring setups. Wheels I'm OK with as long as they have to weigh as much or more as stock wheels. Since I just bought new rains after using the old ones once in three years I would vote no on that too.
