Well, there is always so much talk, so lets do it.

Here is what rumor has so far..

Intended for C5 and C6's...

Basically paralell T-1 rules with some changes. Nothing written in stone yet...

But, no engine development expense. All cars will be whistled for CR, huffed for displacement and have cam lift checked at every race. And rear wheel hp verified on chassis dyno..

Suspension, opened to coil overs..

Update and backdate all c5's and C6's to LS3.
Weights to be determined...

Brakes can update to 2010 grand sports...

Three tracks so far in the northeast. Could spread down the east coast depending on interest...

Limited to 40 drivers...

Nice!!!!!

something affordable.

Nice! Now bring that stuff over here to the west coast.

What about tire selection?

We have the 2009 Cal Club (SCCA) Corvette Challenge by Speed Ventures series we started here in So. California in March. We have had about 25 cars per event and about 35 different drivers over the four of six events.

This is a time trial series right now, but I would be interested in adopting your wheel to wheel racing rules for a west coast series if you are willing to share. For us I would like to keep the rules simple. Dynos at the track seems to make it complicated and expensive.

With the reported ls3 issues can we keep our ls6 and ls2s? I assume a good dry sump will be legal.

I like these rumors

im from texas but this t-1's willing to travel if we cant get a few down here. there are some great tracks down here to run on if you would like me to get some info on them.

What organization is looking to back the series?

Would a ST2 car be legal? Aero? I could be interested, is this something like TCC where you just run within SCCA & NASA or is it going to be a New Class altogether?

How about a HP/ft lb rule so any LS can be run

either way may car is probably to far gone for this anyways

If the hp will be checked with a chassis dyno then why wouldn't we just do a hp&tq/2 /weight (we'd have to add the tq to the equation to keep people from building tq motors) and let people build there own engines.
Right now it seems like T1 is 8.2-8.3 to 1 which makes the LS3 cars a bit on the pigish side. Make the power to weight right around 7.7 to 1 so the LS3's can weight in around 3300 and let the other cars add power to match.
With the reliability issues with the LS3 I can see a lot of people wishing they could just mod a LS6/2.

3500 lbs 455 whp
3400 lbs 440 whp
3300 lbs 430 whp
3200 lbs 425 whp
3100 lbs 402 whp

Those numbers sound good to me

What governing body would be putting this on SCCA, NASA, TCC?

Opening up the brake option to any BBK would make sence too. 14" rotors no carbon, because really the performace of the BBK's are all going to be pretty much similar. But if we don't want to allow BBK's at least allow 2 piece rotors to save cost, no one wants to replace rotors everyday like we have to in T1 now.

Just my opinions on the idea. Feel free to flame away!

Could be interesting - but I would make it so the cars can run in other classes out there now. This kind of ties in with a discussion I started by asking if a C5 could win the runoffs...

I do not know enough about TCC, but isn't that what that what you're talking about? I know that series has been around for a long time here in the Midwest.

I think i heard that KISS was the priority.... So look for a simple easy to enforce rules set.

Sounds good. How are you planning to check cam lift, CR and displacement at every event?
