I sold my old FP road racecar this spring and have been running my 70 914 in DSP in SCCA Solo. I have done well, but we are a small pond. For the first time I tried running in our divisonal SCCA solo series this year. I did ok, but got my ass handed to me a few times. While my car is setup well for DSP I am not willing to take it all the way to the rules max since I also enjoy driving it on the street.
Sooooooo........... I have found a what I think will be my next dedicated AX car. A good 71 roller with fiberglass GT flares installed. I have been looking at the different classes and think that DP might be a good class to run in. Anyone running in DP? What's your thoughts? I don't want to run a /6 so a it must be a /4 class. |

I'm SLOWLY prepping a DP car. However, I don't really have the budget to be competitive yet, so I haven't kept up with the rules as well as I should. I think the weight penalties have gotten a little more harsh since '07. I don't know 2011 rules, but I believe off the top of my head that it was Displacement(CCs) X .95 + 250 in 2010. A bit more harsh as that puts you at 2150 with a 2 liter motor. However, with a 1.7 you're at 1865. But again, I'm not sure on that formula. Look it up on SCCA's website.
I think it'd be a bitchin class for a 914, though, and I look forward to seeing what you come up with. However, those Miatas are well prepped and will be tough to beat. Keep us posted. Mark D. P.S. I've been looking for a flared roller to swap parts to. Damn you for stealing mine. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) j/k :edit: oops. Misread JP's post. Same formula. |
