It would be helpful if all you drivers out there are nice (and not naughty), and every night before you go to bed, say to yourselves "I DO believe in Database Elves, I DO believe in Database Elves".  :bowdown:

And if you actually see the Head Zone 8 Database Elf, give him a cookie and a big hug. :wink: (well, maybe just a cookie...)

Should be up sometime in December. We'll let you know. Happy Holiday(s)!

i have always argued how tire points are underrated. now that i try to exploit it the rules change.
oh well, it is much more fair now, and a more realistic performance penalty for the 200 treadwear tires
one thing though, how does a boxster/cayman only get a 15 point midengine penalty, and i get 10 for a strut bar?

The rules revision proposals come from the members, and a few come from the event chairs. The process is outlined here:

I'm removing my strut brace for the much needed 10 points. I've heard the brace is over rated on the 944 but are really needed on the 911's. To me it's the difference between going into CC-04 or staying in CC-03. How many 135 HP cars you think are running CC-04 ? or in CC-03 for that matter :?:

It is what it is, and I'm coming for you and your big horsepower car Jerry Bumpas :evil:
