I wonder if you will get any responses Grant? An interesting poll considering all the discussions we have had lately about rules and classification... |

I wonder if you will get any responses Grant? An interesting poll considering all the discussions we have had lately about rules and classification... What's funny is I build pretty good relationships with mechanics who work on my car. I hear about all the stuff that goes unreported in our region. I have been encouraged not to report some of the modifcations on my car by several mechanics saying everyone does this. I refuse to knowingly under report modifications. I recently realized that last year I misclassified my car due to not properly classifying conversion (I started with 914/6 base rather than 1.8), but it wouldnt have changed my overall classification last year. I know in talking with many inexpereinced GGR particpants that they under report. Many people just class their car on base points when they infact have suspension or tire mods. I even know of a certain 997 driver who classed his car as a Boxster at an event last year! |

I know a guy with a '98 Boxster with a factory 996 (3.4L) conversion...car used to belong to a factory rep... the new owner knows about the motor but still classes the car as a stock 2.5L. He is a smart guy....doesnt he think anyone he has told about his car looks at the points? Go figure. Every mechanic in this area can tell you some pretty interesting stories. Especially from the late '80s and '90s. Even some local machinists have been known to tell you about some tricks. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Problem with our current points system is that some folks are making an honest attempt to point their cars but there is so much interpretation out there that you can completely mis-class your car without really meaing to....like the engine swap/increase section. |
