(the trackday not the GT attack). Llandow is about 25 mins from my place but I'd understand if something in the Midlands was better as it's central to more people. Once you've done that you'll want more. 
- great, I suspect you'll be hard to beat. 
- sorry to moan guys, if you want to chat GT attack and the regulations can you do it in another thread. NA Class- however the modification cannot change the engines aspiration- no race fuelsTurbo Class- Includes SC and TC engines- no race fuelsGarage Class- no race fuels Guest Class- no race fuels - bald tires, shagged brakes, loose bodywork, dropping fluids won't be allowed to take part.- and I am sure there will be some who may try, won't be allowed to take part and no refund will be given. No one likes a cheater! It also allows inter class comparison, so it can settle the old Mk1 v's Mk2, Turbo v's Na debates. It also wouldn't be fair to allow private entries to go up against garage entries that are able to operate on a larger budget, therefore these entries have their own class to compete in. I see this event as being the opposite of TOTB and GT Attack which are just tuner showcases where they can advertise their wares. This restriction is in place to prevent non club members crashing the party, and people signing up just to take part. This event is for the IMOC not other car groups that can't be ar$ed to arrange their own event. =D> =D> =D> =D> to that man! 
will allow us to compare alll mk's and engine variations nice and easily. also evens the playing field a bit as im sure some folks prob couldn't afford to run race fuel and slicks. i would run that combo if i was allowed, but the regs u have came up with would forbid this allowing everyone to compete under the same circumstances. 
from me£120. I would gladly pay that for an event along the lines you are talking

Cars deemed to be unsafe
Anyone thought or found to be breaking these rules
These classes are designed to keep racing as close as possible within each class and to keep things fair.
I want the focus of the event to be on IMOC members and their cars, and not garages and tuning companies.
Guest entries will be restricted to existing IMOC club members that don't have an MR2 but are established members of the club.
Views?
.. I think it might be worth having individual mk winners, and then N/A turbo winners?'teams' from MR2ROC, mk1club, and twobrutal if they are up for it... 
..- Non MR2s should only be allowed to enter if there are places to spare, we are an MR2 club after all.- No point in having this class, as I don't think the event will attract more than a couple of entries. Being a tuner does not automatically mean that you have more funds available to tune a car - some of my customers have spent more money on their cars than I earn in a year! There's no fun in driving around in your own class and winning every race by default... I did that last year in the MR2 Challenge Series. As a consumable "power adder" race fuel would work in all cars simply by pouring it into the petrol tank. Those with aftermarket ECU's would be able to make better advantage of it than those without, but at least it doesn't require several hundred pounds worth of equipment adding to the car. Seems odd to ban something that everyone could make use of and yet allow something that works in a similar way but not everyone will want to install.- contriversial I know, but just look at the MR2 Challenge Series.hmmm.
- or a GTE swapped mk1 going up against 4AGE engined mk1's. How does a NA mk2 compare to a Mk1? Also, would you have a problem with other MR2 clubs joining in? I very much envisaged inviting
Numbers on the day would be the biggest consideration. But then if we can secure exclusive use of a track for this then we could have a big Mr2 social event as well as the racing. There is enough Mr2 owners to have something like this. People just need to get behind it.Are you going to have a limit on the number of guest cars?
We may need to consider limiting numbers just so the world and his wife dont decide to join in. What about having teams? and allowing 1 or 2 guest cars per team or sommit.
Invitation Class
Its only fair that these people can take part on the back of this event and also have a bit of fun. Maybe we limit the number of spaces. I am definitely taking part or I will post dog poo through everyones letter boxes! 
Tuner Class
I want people to compete on a level pegging, its grass roots, cheap, affordable competitive fun. The principle of the event is its geared to the individual owner, not the tuning garage like other events (TOTB and GT Attack). A garage entry has a huge advantage over the individual entrant, you have access to facilities, expertise and funds that the individual owner doesnt. 
Nitrous Oxide should come under the same criteria as race fuel and shouldn't be allowed.
Its also considerably more mainstream than race gas. It has limited use on a circuit and is only a temporary power adder. There maybe some who use it but it isnt a definite advantage. For pretty much the same reason Slicks shouldnt be used as they are beyond the reach of most people and it starts making the competition very specialised. Seems odd to ban something that everyone could make use of and yet allow something that works in a similar way but not everyone will want to install.
Race gas isnt something that everyone can make use off. Even if they can sling it in their tank, it wont have any benefit unless the car is mapped for it. I think you may want to break scoring down by indivual mk as well, otherwise the mk2s will always win in each class
Or a GTE power Mk1 against a 4AGE powered Mk1? Its better to split cars by performance rather than Mk. Also makes it more interesting to mix it up and draw comparisons across Mk. 
People can do pretty much what they want to their car as long as it doesnt change the aspiration or involve race fuel or slicks. Also circuit choice will be so that it doesnt benefit any particular car. ....... - before getting into the nitty gritty in too much detail, I propose we set up a forum for you/committee/mods/other clubs to contribute to? (we have had some interest from other clubs).. If I enter a Rogue Motorsport car, then the best that's available to me is a normally aspirated MR2 Challenge car. If I enter as a private individual then the best car that will be available to me (assuming I ever find the time to finish it) will be a 400bhp+ mk3 MR2."tuner" car, the other's a private car. How do you define a "tuner" entry? It has more anti-knock agents and is slower burning. I think the difference would suprise you! You can buy C16 Race fuel over the internet - even Envy stock it! That said, I'm not making a case for the use of race fuel, I don't think it should be allowed at all. I just personally would prefer not to see Nitrous allowed. A sorted mk1sc (bigger pulley, intercooling, brakes, sticky rubber, coilovers etc) around Brands ran only two seconds a lap quicker than a mk2na with air filter / exhaust, non adjustable suspension and AO22 rubber. In all three classes - mk1, mk2 and mk3 I strongly suspect it'll be the 3SGTE engined cars that walk away with it. Depending on casts, dates etc... We would probably bring the track car and the SC.| 99 528i SE Touring | 01 Mandarin VX220
