Mx-5 Cup
« on: April 11, 2011, 10:58:18 PM »

   The support series running for Brindle's next series will be a Mx-5 Cup. Obviously the Mx-5(Miata) will be the only model available. But any year Mx-5 will work the rules are intentionally kept simple 200 HP and 1000 kilos on sports softs. Mazda has come on as co sponsor and asked that we leave the cars stock appearing so no aero add ons but other than that it is wide open for each driver to get to the power and weight however they want.

--Race Schedule--
#1  Cote d' Azur   June 8
#2  Deep Forest Raceway reverse    June 22
#3  Grand Valley Speedway    June 29
#4  Cape Ring Periphery   July 6
#5  Rome reverse   July 20
#6  Suzuka Circuit   August 17
#7  High Speed Ring (Weather Change)   August 31
#8  Indy Road Course   September 7
These races will be run the same week that the GT300/500 series visits these tracks
Plan is to run 15 mins Q-ing then race of approx. 45 mins

   -Disconnects during a race will be treated as a mechanical failure.  
     -You will be awarded the last running order points. (14 race, you get 14th place points)
     -If more than one disconnect occurs, points will be given in the order of disconnect.
     -Only 7 best finishes count towards the overall points
     -Points only awarded to those who start the race and finishing spots will be awarded as follows

-Points System-
 
          1- 50
          2- 46
          3- 43
          4- 40
          5- 37
          6- 34
          7- 31
          8- 28
          9- 26
          10- 24
          11- 22
          12- 20
          13- 18
          14- 17
          15- 16
          16- 15

          -Heavy damage
          -Penalties OFF. (allows for non ghosting of lap cars)
          -Traction control OFF.
          -ABS allowed
          -Active steering OFF.
          -ASM OFF
          -Skid recovery OFF
          -Driving line OFF

We will be running Wednesday nights with Q to begin at 9:30 sharp. Looking forward to seeing many of you there.

I'm looking forward to this.  I'd like to see it start 30 minutes earlier though.

Also, the only TV show my wife must watch, comes on Wed nights at 9, so I will be pissing her off every time I run these races.

Wednesday and Friday are the only days that I currently work at a job that I get paid for.  Both days are long hours with long commutes.

My problem is that through the warm months I may have to work weekends but I am never sure until nearly last minute. Due to this I won't commit to hosting races on weekend days until late fall. Saturday night is the drive in, Tuesdays and Thursdays are out as well. So I am left with Sunday night, Monday evening, Wednesday evening and Friday but if the GT300/500 races end up then I am down to Sunday, Monday or Wednesday evenings.

But the cars look so smexy with their wings...


Actually I'm kinda looking forward to this.


*EDIT*

Since the cars won't be carrying any sponsorship decals, my Car sponsors have asked that my car carry the trademark "Dinoco Blue" paint.

Will that be a problem?

I also have some other "Dinoco" paint chips...   Dino Red for example looks rather orange...

At first I thought "Dino" as in Ferrari...   But Ferrari knows their reds so I figured it must've stood for something else.

Any colors, wheels watever. The lack of aero was to keep the standard appearance if a little beefed up to the audience watching from the stands and at home. With their sponsorship Mazda is hoping to help sell a few cars  ;).

Any existing wing can be taken off easily enough.

lol the wings comment was a joke, I'm cool with not having it. The one on my 07 is cosmetic anyway, I keep it all the way down.

lol I'm tempted but I won't ask about the donkeys. Late Friday works well for me, or perhaps Saturday as a pre-matinee?
