I met one of their authors at an autocross and he mentioned doing an issue just for autocrossing and road racing. Guess this is the one you're referring to, I have a subscription but haven't seen it yet.

(IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif) And, are we bringing spare alternator parts this year? (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/nutkick.gif) If last year was your B game, I'm afraid to watch this year.

one thing of note, the guy who won CMC in 06 has been discovered to have been cheeting by like 20 hp. not sure how or difinitively if he was at Nats 06, but he had been all this year. that validates my performance a little. plus, since i have returned from Mid Ohio in '06, i have dropped 1.5 seconds off my lap times at just about every track i drove since then.
my home track best lap pre Mid Ohio was 1:25.8, post Mid Ohio its a 1:24.3. this is the tracki have been driving on since 1999. so my A game is coming. and yes, an alt bracket is on the spares list. in fact, we have talked about bringing Mitch's CMC car as a back up. |

That's funny, someone who I'll not mention told me (on the phone) that they dyno'd that car often and it was always 20+ hp down and that the kid was just fast. Interesting..... |

in most regions its a random check. some regions are set-up to be able to dyno after a race w/ the top 4 or so. this normally requires a dyno on site. here, we seal hoods and computers and have them report to a dyno before the next race w/ a CMC official there to unseal the car.
i've been told the problem was two fold w/ regards to "him". 1) he was dyno'ing at a very high altitude in Nevada and racing at near sea level. this rule loophole was closed this year. even so, it has always been a requirement that your car be legal as it rolls off the track, not the dyno you cert the car on at the begining of the year. 2) he was getting some "help" from the shop w/ the dyno. there is no finacial gain in CMC from cheeting. so your only fooling yourself by doing it. CMC is a drivers class and if you have to cheet to win, your not a good driver. as for him being 20 hp down. well over on CMC forums Tony commented about how they had sealed and marked various things on the motor at the begining of the 2007 season due to him not having a current dyno sheet. after he refused several times to report to the dyno he was ejected from CMC till like 2009. the car was raced by his father recently. all the seals and markings were still in place and the car was dyno'ed as raced since the start of the 2007 season and made somewhere between 245-260hp. he was fine w/ that power as he was running CMC-2 w/ it that particular weekend. but thats enough proof for me that he was well over the power limit this year and most likely last year too, including Nationals. you guys can form your own opinions, i have mine. i was suspicious of it at Nationals but had no way of proving it. i wasnt about to say a word since in 2005 i had caused alot of issues in the Texas region w/ those type of accusations. i left it alone. i also thought it would look like sour grapes w/ my 3rd place finish and i was happy enough to be on the podium. this is just another reason the 2006 Nationals will always be somewhat in question. that and the start of the Championship race was really messed up. on a side note, my new motor is now restriced down to twin 31mm holes at the T/B. it made 216hp/301tq. proof enough that CMC is not all about power. in fact, w/ those numbers, my minimum is now 3210. so i'm way down on HP and a little up on weight (i normally come off at 3230-3240 though). |
