So im thinking about taking my car over to the redline time attack @ sebring international raceway here in florida and entering the Street Tire Class..


Buddy Club Street Tire Class
The Redline Time Attack Street Tire Class is intended for vehicles that are for the most part "Street Legal" using DOT approved Street Tires driven by grassroots enthusiasts and amateur racers alike. The Street Tire Class is the most popular and accessible Class in the Redline Time Attack Series, it is the true home of the Enthusiasts.


Modifications Allowed:
Engine Mods: Just about anything goes, except Nitrous Oxide is Prohibited (in all Classes)
Suspension: Up to 2-Way Adjustable Coilovers
Brakes: Open
Tires: Any High Performance Street Tire with a tread wear of 140 or higher
Unique to the Class: All window glass must be present, catalytic converters are required, vehicle must be registered with DMV, use of carbon/composite body panels is limited, aero upgrades are limited, professional drivers are not allowed

The official rules say that a roll cage is prefered but not require.
If you have a roll cage then you need a full fire suit but if you dont have a roll cage they dont say what safety stuff you need.

Did you end up welding up two side by side for higher flow?

Capone: You will want to double check the more detailed rules listing they have for the Street Tire Class as you are limited by tire width at 255mm with an AWD car.

You might be confusing the way they are describing the coilovers. Most entry coilovers are considered Single Adjustable for rebound, or Compression and Rebound together. Dual adjustable is compression and rebound independently where as Triple is compression High/low and rebound seperate. How many clicks you have for adjustment range is sometimes desciped as 15 way or 30 way depending on the shock manufacturer which confuses the terms even more.

As far as the Redline Time attack rules, 2 way is Dual adjustable and may have 15-30 or more clicks for settings in that adjustment range. Hopefully that made sense!
