New Street Tire Classes for the 2011 Autoslalom Championship

[AndrewR]

In response to a focus group that polled a group of drivers at the 2010 CASC AGM, the newly proposed ST1, ST2, and STU classes have been replaced.

New Street Tire Classes for the 2011 Autoslalom Championship


STGC, a class for miata drivers only

STWT, where you can use winter tires only

STCT, Canadian Tire Street tires only

STFT, Flat street tires. Aluminum rims only of course.

STFU, a class for street tires, for unlimited only

STNP, as suggested by last years course marshall, why not a class for people with no pants.

As well as the new classes, it was decided that we needed more of a draw for spectators, so for 2011 the following was approved.

Bonus time deductions will be awarded for:

Fire Drill maneuvers where the driver and passenger swap sides, but must start and finish the maneuver buckled in – 5 second deducted per time on course, including the stop and start boxes. The car cannot be in motion whilst the driver and passenger swap sides

Extra points for “flair” as judged by a committee. Examples of flair include sliding over the hood, cartwheels while changing seats and so on.

Driving on 3 wheels – the time clock will stop for the period of time that a car “dog-legs” or has one of its wheels off the ground.


More details will be coming later this week.

This makes choosing tires for my new 2011 STI much more difficult.

Quite interested in competing in STNP and trying to maximise flair points. Given the pantless situation, will there be any safety gear required for the hood slides? I understand that "rubbing's racing" but I'm a little concerned about the Scooby hood scoop.

Are passengers also required to be pantless?

How come we get our own class?:(

If we don't wear pants, can we be in 2 classes at the same time?

interesting that you've been able to write more about the street tire classes than what's in the actual rule book, yet still not publish the 2011 one. ^^;;;;

obvious april fools is obvious, but whatever, made me chuckle :):):):)

we def need a pant-less class

I will proudly display STFU on both sides of my car.

And I'll be sure to park where Marsh can always see it.

can we get flair points while doing a fire drill with 1 wheel off the ground?

[yangsui]

Sweet! I'm going outside right now to disconnect my front sway bar.........and my belt buckle.

[thgear]

should probably remove those pesky doors too

Only one wheel off the ground? Bah, easy. 2 wheels? NOW we're talking.

I could actually tell when the Civic picked up the front tire in a slalom.

:eek: Thought this was srsbsns when I first glanced....

Can we please add a foot-race + buckle-in race like they did in the old days?
-- This would be way more beneficial to crappy cars (like mine) than PAX could ever be. Bone stock car + fast feet = FTD for me all day, err-day. :p
