Sport Compact challenge?

[Madspinner]

Hey just wondering when the dates are for the SCC this year , does anyone have any info on these , thanks

[Melinda]

The Edmonton date is September 17, not sure if there will be a Calgary show this year.

[louren22]

August 20th for Race City.

[Aleks]

if i remember correctly, last year had a lot of cars breaking/blowing head gaskets/etc. dunno if i would push my car to its hardest in that heat, but i'll see how the weather is.

[JAYMEZ]

^^ Lol i rememeber that.... but i also remember the masquitos :cry:

[Z_Fan]

There was an auto-cross last year. No trophies for it though. (Unfortunately)

In any case, August 20th is Calgary's date. September 17th is Edmonton's date. There isn't one in Saskatchewan this year. (Last year there was I believe!)

Should be lots of fast cars there. And ofcourse, lots of well done show cars too for the show n shine portion of the event. Some pretty nice stuff there last year. :bigpimp:

[JAYMEZ]

Im gonna sign up for this bad boy , Beyond booth representing???

[Primer_Drift]

Damn I really want to get my car done for one of these events, I should look into what kinda of limitations they have for the classes..

[Z_Fan]

Was there teams at this thing last year? Where the fastest team won an award? Or was that only at Edmonton? I seem to recall some big deal about an error that happened in Edmonton where someone failed to clearly identify their team on their registration form and so they lost the fastest team award. LOL. Ooops.

[88CRX]

ya, its only 4 members per team..... might just register as an idividual, unless anyone needs another slow riced out car for their team :D

[autoBITCH]

DRIFTING!!!!!!!

[RickDaTuner]

Yep, they dont want every tom, dick and harry thinking they're drifter supreme and getting out on the track with all the other guys and killing everyone or completely destroying their cars cause they dont know what they're doing. Drifting is a demontration part of the night, not a competition between everyone. So they invite people that they know will give the crowd an awesome show. :)

[JAYMEZ]

^^^ And thats the way it should be...


So whos gonna go under Beyond?


Also are trophies going to be handed out to EVERY Class that shows , i remember last year we had 3 subarus , and no subaru class was awarded , it was a waste of my time and money to not see who won.

[Sky]

I will make it out to the Autocross/Drag........too bad they don't count any Autocrossing points for team competition.

[Z_Fan]

I'd be willing to represent beyond.ca for the 1/4 mile. :devil:

[finboy]

i'll show up, but my car is not competition worthy in looks/speed/handling, hahahaha

You guys might want to check out the canadian national autocross event in red deer on the 20/21. Were hoping to see 120+ cars, and some top level driving. Ive got the feeling that if autoX is your bag there will be no better place to be that weekend. Personally im getting pretty pumped, its gonna be nuts! (and imo nothing at the SCC will compare :guns: )

[Z_Fan]

Aleks - Oh, I was thinking in the SRT-4. :poosie:

Right. Yeah, the red car would be better. :D

[Mark Seto]

The event starts at 5pm. There is an Autocross but no competition attached - just lots of fun runs. We'll cap it off so you get more runs.

We expect a lot of spectators so its a great opportunity to showcase your skills.

Who is responsible for forming teams representing beyond.ca for the Sport Compact Challenge? Calgary/Edmonton?

[kenny]

Everyone that is interested in participating should state their interests now so the team forming can begin. I wont be participating in the event itself but I'll be up for organizing some teams for the event.

Alright.

I'd like to participate on the 1/4 mile team for beyond.ca. Not going to show the car - so just want to be on the team for the drag portion of the event.

[RickDaTuner]

I would like to participate for the Auto-X with beyond if there even is a team spot for that

[JAYMEZ]

Yup im there , ill show , and ill help ya set up if you need some help :thumbsup:

[cobra347]

This year i am up for drags and open to join a team.

[freakin]

The FAQ's are down on the SCC site, so I've got a couple of questions that hopefully someone can clear up for me. Bascially just need to know what are the restrictions for vehicles entering.

First of all, is a Volvo considered a sport compact?
Secondly is a car that's had a V8 swapped in to it and was never offered with an 8 cylinder engine allowed to compete?

Just need to know if a buddy with a V8 wedged in a Volvo 240 sedan and a few others with 4cyl. turbo 200, 700 and 900 series Volvos can compete.

[brainlessbiker]

I'll be there Outlaw class here i come!:werd:

[Z_Fan]

Actually, I suppose if 8 cylinder cars are allowed to race...you'd be racing in the Outlaw class. Only 6 cylinder (or less) are able to compete under the Sport Compacts...

I think all v8's are obviously not sport compact cars. ;)

There was some notion about allowing cars equipped with non-radial tires to compete - although I am hopeful they don't allow full drag tires for this event. IMO the cars should be completely street legal or they should be put into the Outlaw class. So, show up with slicks, you're in the outlaw class. Last year, you had to have tires of radial construction and I hope that holds true for this year. DOT approved radial construction tires. There are lots of drag radials which fall into this street legal category.

But hey, I dunno. Hopefully the FAQ will be back online in short order and have the answers to your questions.

[Z_Fan]

This is from the last year rules...taken from the following URL.

http://www.sportcompactchallenge.ca/drag_racing.html

General Competition Eligibility
All competition vehicles must be registered with an appropriate provincial motor vehicles department. All competition vehicles must successfully pass technical inspection vehicles that pose safety hazards will NOT be allowed into competition. Competitors must show valid vehicle registration, license plates, and drivers license documentation during technical inspection and when requested by race organizers. All race competitors are required to wear a D.O.T. approved helmet during competition.

Sport Compact Class
The Sport Compact class is open to vehicles with less than 8 cylinders. 6 cylinder engines must be an overhead cam (OHC) configuration. All competition vehicles in Sport Compact class are limited to a single power adder and must race on tires of radial construction. Multiple power adder vehicles, that otherwise meet these class specifications will be placed into the Outlaw class. Sport Compact class vehicles must have full interiors—No striped race vehicles. Sport Compact class competitors must meet the General Competition Eligibility requirements. No pre-registration before the event is required for competitors in the Sport Compact class. Competitors are only required to register at the event.

Outlaw Class
Import vehicles with V8's and vehicles with non-OHC 6-cylinder engines may compete in the Outlaw Class. Vehicles in Outlaw class may use tires of radial or bias-ply construction in competition. Outlaw class vehicles must have full interiors—No striped race vehicles. Outlaw class competitors must meet the General Competition Eligibility requirements. No pre-registration before the event is required for competitors in the Outlaw class. Competitors are only required to register at the event.

Exhibition Class
There are opportunities to register in the Exhibition Class if your vehicle does not qualify for the above. Vehicles in Exhibition class may use tires of radial or bias-ply construction in competition. Vehicles with striped interiors will compete in Exhibition class. Only Exhibition class vehicles are permitted to run wheelie bars. Only Exhibition class vehicles can be of tube frame construction. All Exhibition class vehicles must be pre-registered at least 7 days prior to the SCC event date. Contact [email protected] to pre-register.

Race Format
All races are run heads-up (no staggered or handicap starts). Timing lights are set for a Full Tree. The three large amber light bulbs on the Christmas Tree flash five-tenths of a second apart, followed five-tenths later by the green starting light. A perfect reaction time on a Full Tree is 0.500 seconds. See the Drag Racing Glossary in this booklet for more information.

Race Registration
Vehicles in the Sport Compact Class must proceed to the registration booth upon gate entry. Vehicles in the Outlaw and Exhibition Classes must pre-register at least 7 days prior to the SCC event date. All other race competitors may register at the SCC venue on the event date.
At each SCC event, the maximum number of vehicles registered for drag racing is restricted to ensure event quality. This is done to reduce the amount of lineup time for race competitors so that all race competitors have the opportunity to make a good number of quarter-mile runs.

Drag racing entries are available on a first come, first served basis. Once the maximum number of vehicles has been registered, no additional vehicles will be eligible for drag racing on that day. Competitors who arrive early in the day will have better chance of entering the race competition than those who arrive later. In general, race registration continues for 2 hours from the time that gates open or until the maximum number of vehicles has been registered.

All racers must arrive and register race vehicles before registration closes. It is the responsibility of race participants to be aware of all applicable event deadlines and to be on time.

Pre-Race Preparation
On the day of each SCC event, competitors should bring the following items to the race track:

1. valid driver’s license and vehicle registration
2. valid proof of insurance
3. cash for gate admission, food, drinks, etc.
4. sunglasses and sunscreen if necessary
5. appropriate clothing for the days events – most race tracks require drag race competitors to wear long pants (no shorts)
6. a working pen to fill out the registration forms and technical inspection card
7. D.O.T. approved helmet for race competition
8. tire pump, tools, and other equipment
Since there is a limited number of race vehicles allowed to register at each event, it is generally a good idea to plan on arriving at SCC events early. This will allow competitors enough time to enter the race track grounds, choose a pit area, unpack equipment, prepare their vehicles, and pass technical inspection.

Technical Inspection
ALL race competitors must report to the tech inspection station at the event. Vehicles that do not pass the technical inspection will not be allowed to race. If your vehicle does not pass technical inspection, contact V8less officials AT THE EVENT for a refund of your admission fee BEFORE leaving the event.
When race vehicles pass technical inspection, the vehicle number assigned during registration will be recorded so that the race organizers can keep track of the vehicle during Time Trials and Eliminations. Competitors must ensure that their vehicle numbers are visible at all times so that race officials can properly record results during Time Trials and Eliminations.

[dj_rice]

I'm so pissedddddd..I'm gonna be up in Edmonton for my cousins wedding when SCC is happening...

GOD DAMN IT!!!:banghead:

[crazydave]

how do you get invited for drift? what if you are confident you can put on a good show but they dont know that, how would you go about getting invited??!?!:dunno: :thumbsup:

[88CRX]

I'm prolly in for the show as well.... let me know if you need any more entries.

[Mark Seto]

Most of the questions have been answered, but I'll try to catch the exceptions.

- Anything with a V8, not street legal (ie. Civic w/slicks), non OHC engines is automatically in the Outlaw class and not eligible for the Team competitions, except in show.
- we do not recommend people race and show but we will try to Judge if we have time. People racing and showing will not be gauranteed judging for show
- Anyone interested in drifting should PM or email me at [email protected] their drifting experience

Sorry for the delay in response.

[Skyline_Addict]

i might be in for the show!

[GSR_aaron]

I will be there too, it's my first time to see this event.

I hope my new Camera arrive before that event. :D

I gave up damper & spring work to buy a Camera...:nut:

I am sorry that there would be no more Jason driven RX7 on Auto-X.

Haha My car is slow compared to the other cars that are eligible to represent beyond. But kenny if you guys don't get anyone faster on the drag team I'll run for beyond. :burnout:

[EK 2.0]

Ok, this is the deal. Beyond will represent if we get enough participants for BOTH the SHOW & GO

you can do either, but like Mark mentioned you may not get judged if you are running. You DO NOT need to do both, and if I have enough reponse then Kenny and I will set up a team.

So if you want to represent Beyond for the Aug 20 event, just post after me here and with one sentence, just post...or fire me a PM

Either, Show, Go, or Both...

thanks a lot guys and gals...

[Z_Fan]

I believe I am not allowed to run Nitrous for this event. So my car will be slow. I'd be surprised if I can run quicker than 12.7 without the juice. Maybe a 12.5 at best. I won't be putting down 11 second passes with no bottle in the back.

But I think it should still be quick enough to be competitive with the faster cars that will be there.

when do you have to sign up by .

[Mark Seto]

Just a quick comment - you do not need to be on a team to participate in SCC. You can drag, show, autox and still compate for prizes on your own whether or not you are on a team.

There is no registration with SCC beforehand, but please arrive at Race City at 4pm on the 20th.

[euro_racer]

i would like to enter for show, if possible for beyond
