One of the ideas I had for this car was to compete in Time Attack. Hadn't made any real plans yet, just a thought. With the roll cage project about to begin I decided to look at the Gridlife rulebook to see what it says about interiors.
Unfortunately, what I found on the Gridlife site is that in no class, other than Unlimited, are you allowed to move the suspension pickup points. Which means the Maximum Motorsports K-Member is out.
I reached out to Gridlife to be sure and got a response confirming what I had read...I was hopeful that there was an exception for off-the-shelf parts. There is not.
I was told the only class I could compete in would be Unlimited. Reading on their site they claim 800hp is common-place in this class. Though, I follow a few cars that exceed that number in the TrackMod class. Even running in that category with my car would a joke.
I'm a little disappointed to learn that the rules have rendered the Fox and SN95 completely uncompetitive short of a max effort build to run in the unlimited class. Maybe I should have saved the money I put into the New Edge and bought a Boss...
Track days are super fun but I was really hoping to compete at some point. So, I guess I'm now looking for other avenues of competition. Bracket racing? Stick to AutoX? W2W? Should we start a club?!
Open to suggestions.
