Latest SCCA Solo FasTrack discussions here (sticky)

[Fair!]

OK, we have a ton of FasTrack discussions all over this forum. Lets move them here in one place?

In case you are unaware, FasTrack is the monthly publication of rules updates and suggestions for rules changes "for member comment" published by the SCCA. We look at the Solo Events Board changes, so link the Solo portion only.

-----------------------------------

Here's June 2008's FT: http://www.scca.com/documents/Fastra...-june-solo.pdf

Notable sections, in my view:
STREET PREPARED
out for member comment

• Move from ASP to BSP:

• BMW M3 (E46)
• Consolidate the last two lines of the C4 Corvette listings in BSP into one which would read:

• “Corvette C4 (all, 84-96)” (ref. 07-431) Note: This would permit update/backdate among all C4s including the ZR-1 version.
• Move from ASP to BSP:

• Pontiac Solstice GXP and Saturn Sky Redline (ref. 08-084)

STREET TOURING
out for member comment

• Replace 14.12.7 with:

• “Non-standard brake rotors may be used provided they are of equal or larger dimensions (diameter and thickness) and made of ferrous material (e.g. iron). Aluminum rotor hats are allowed. Cars originally equipped with solid (non-vented) rotors may utilize vented rotors. Cross-drilled and/or slotted brake rotors may be fitted provided all such voids are within the disc area, and comprise no more than 10% of that area.
• Brake calipers and mounting brackets may be replaced provided they bolt to the standard locations and the number of pistons is equal to or greater than standard.
• Drum brakes may be replaced with disc brakes of a diameter equal to or greater than the inside diameter of the standard drum. Such conversions must be bolted, not welded to the axle/trailing arm/upright. Changes to backing plates/dust shields/brake lines to accommodate these changes are permitted but may serve no other purpose.”
• Also replace 14.6.A with:

• “Cross-drilled and/or slotted brake rotors may be fitted (same size/type/material as standard) provided all such voids are within the disc area, and comprise no more than 10% of that area.”
• Remove the Mazda RX-8 from the STX exclusion list (ref. 08-056).

STREET TOURING
NEW RULE

• Change 14.2.F. ST wording to: “Surface area of all splitters, spoilers, and rear wing (see section 12.9) shall not exceed 5 square feet in sum total.” (that's new!)
