Hey, how come no one ever answered this? Inquiring minds need to know.
Usually the way to avoid sandbagging the qualifying is to award some championship points for qualifying, enough to make up for any advantage gained by sandbagging.

Another one is to randomly occasionally announce (after qualifying) that the grid will be starting in forward order rather than reverse order.

So do they do this at msm_s2k's track?

If not, its sounds like he's a good driver and just needs some Michael ShoeMuncher strategy at the start of the race to stay in front of the Evo's.....

Have you tried blocking the race track with your car during qualifying.

+1...or throwing a tack strip out the window?

What kind of power:weight do the Evo's have? What power:weight are you hoping for post turbo?

Final classing for this coming season has not been published yet. What has been discussed is a 4 cylinder FI class.
- 3100 lbs minimum weight for 4WD
- 2900 lbs for 2WD

Both of those are with driver. For power they are considering using an intake restrictor to limit power consistently at around 320 to 330 WHP.

Unfortunately, they're also considering not allowing any monoball/spherical suspension. Since my control arms are already with Tony for this ... I'm working on getting them to allow it.

This is just a single track local series for the MMP track in Utah. I expect there will be a fair bit of flexibility. They are working to tighten it up a bit from last year.

Is anyone running the Moton Club Sports or the Moton Motorsports dampers? Most immediate decision I need to make is suspension. Is it worth an extra few thousand to go for the Motorsports setup?

Have you thought about a v-mount setup for your turbo?
