On another forum there is talk being thrown around of a NASA AIX class being brought to PR. The season would consist of PR, PIR, Spokane and one track in Canada. I think right now they are looking for about 9 cars to commit for the season.

The AIX (American Iron Extreme) class is the least limiting of all the NASA classes. Has a low minimum weight and no HP limit. Most of the cars that run the AIX in other places are late model Fbods and fox bodied mustangs with a couple other makes thrown in the mix.

If you have any interest in prepping a car for this let me know and post up. They are looking to have this together for the '09 season.

 

Might be interesting. Would have to see the rules.

Some of the rules can be found here:

Certainly have to run in the Extreme class (< 9.5:1 power to weight ratio....I'm around 6.5)

Any use of Nitrous is prohibited!

I dont think I have ever seen a road racing sactioning body allow the use of nitrous. And i am not to sure you would want to run your car in this class Mark. These guys like to trade paint. Thats the main reason why I am on the fence about this (that and not having a running car).

These are the kinds of cars you would be running against.

 

Yeah, reading up on this class, these are SERIOUS road course cars / drivers. Probably not for me....but it would be fun to do once in a while. (After I get a few more lapping sessions under my belt so I feel halfway comfortable letting the dogs loose in my car.) I would think this would be a great thing for you to do with the SS between ORR events.

 

I would seriously consider this if I could ever get a motor back in my car. I have the suspension for it but one thing I am missing is a big brake package and for AIX I would need the big dogs.

 

I could totally get into this form of racing. Too bad I don't have the budget for it!

I would kill to run in this. Competing in series similar to touring cars is a dream.

If we did it Mark I would want to run and all out LSx in a LTx v6 chassis

Then again I would rather go to a few real races with MKM

 

And here I was thinkin we'd buy Springer's 71 Camaro & throw an IRS under it....or Jeffy's Vette maybe.

 

Already talked to Bill about the '71. No dice there. And I dont think that Jeffs vette would fit the rules. To low to the ground and might be to light. I'll have to check the rules again but I think the car has to have its production based motor in it as well.
