'18 Spec Miata Cahmpionship

[Pranav]

Danny (official winner) put his tub in the trailer with a forklift. Sooo yah he got scrutinized too. But here is SCCA’s response since the runoffs are a couple weeks out.

I've never thought I'd ever give the SCCA praise over doing something better than NASA, but wow, in a few short sentences they just called NASA out on their BS:

Given recent events, the SCCA CRB makes the following change to the GCR effective
immediately for the remainder of the 2018 Spec Miata season. The CRB acknowledges that
Spec Miata OEM, re-manufactured or rebuilt axles do not have a published specification nor
are the axles a serviceable item. As a follow-up the CRB has asked the SMAC to provide a
recommendation for 2019 for Spec Miata axles.
Add to section 9.1.7.C.2
“i. The half-shaft CV Joints shall be an OEM or OEM equivalent part. The internal cage and
bearing dimensions are unrestricted. This rule is effective until 12/31/18.”

Who in their right mind would cross over to SM in hopes of landing a podium at Nats? Oh wait. . .

Winching a lifeless car onto the trailer twice was more than enough for me, I can't imagine forklifting the damn thing in. Then you have the devil's own chore of getting it out back home. I think I'll stay right here. The beer is cold and the ribs are delicious.

it’s worth it if you can win $75k in cash!

I'm impressed you've only winched a broken car on the trailer twice.

If I had a dollar....

That was this season alone. Was the first and second time the car didn't drive itself onto the trailer. DNFs aren't really my thing. Shooting for zero again next season.

Does this mod really help or did these guys get screwed?

I'd lean towards screwed, they were pushing the rules though... They didn't pick up nearly as much power as an aftermarket diff cover would, thats for sure.
