NO question about that they would defiantly have to look at weight rule for that i was just putting that out there, ac proved to me that 16v car although fast can be beat by a well set up and well financed (or lucky) 8v or 12v car IMHO

😮 when given the chance ross can put forth some interesting ideas ^^^^^
expensive and as time consuming as it is though i really dont see a track doing it. 🙁

Lets see how the dyno will do with a welded diff fwd car with a bit of stagger..... 😮  It wont be happy.

Bang on with the weight, 2400 is not unreasonable for 16v Honda, that and it gives you some room for adding a little penalty here and there.
Changing the weight percentage is an effective penalty as well. In some cases I have had to add 175lbs to cars just to achieve it.
Anything exceeding 2600lbs in a civic and you will laying a little too much on the stock suspension components, stock  hubs and brakes can't handle it. I have enough broken offerings to the racing gods hanging on my wall now as it is.

Time trials at the beginning of the year are a good idea, but they have to stay on top of it, but will you have some that will go out and sandbag so they can spank the junior class a couple of nights and take some hardware home?
They will need to stay on top of it.

Dynamatic model. Tires are remove and self centering shafts are bolted on in place..

Stagger out of the equasion, and with 2 separate mechanisms per side welded diffs won't make any difference.
