Events

Sectors are not comparable across all of these events. Sector times and the theoretical lap use Runoffs 2022, Runoffs 2023 only. Runoffs 2019 (sectors cut at different points) counts towards whole-lap times and trap speed only.

One run is left out as not that car's own laps (far quicker than the car managed in any other session and than anyone else in its class all week; usually a swapped transponder): Rob Piekarczyk in Runoffs 2022 Grp 3 Run 1 EP,FP,GTL,HP,B-Spec,STL Sun (2:14.097; the car's best in any other session was 2:24.275 and the rest of the class's best all week 2:17.756).

One row per driver and car (a driver who changed cars has a row for each). Each cell is that driver's best in that car across the selected events, with the session it was set in. Best 5-lap stint is the mean of the driver's quickest five consecutive race laps, and consistency is how far their median race lap sat behind their best in that race (small is a driver who does it every lap); both come from the race with the best stint. The fastest in each column is purple, and a car whose best lap is more than 115% of the fastest in its class is greyed (marked ">115%" beside the driver) and left out of the colour scale. Click a column to sort, a row to highlight it. Theoretical lap is the sum of the best sectors, whichever laps they came from, and never slower than the best lap (where a car's fastest laps were recorded without sector times, its best lap is used). The 115% mark is about the car's best lap only: a car whose best lap is within 115% of the fastest in its class is never marked. Greyed sectors with no theoretical lap mean the sector times on file do not add up to a believable lap. Letters refer to the events above; Q is qualifying, R a race.

Sectors

Sectors are numbered in lap order from start/finish, whatever each event's timing called them; the loop names are SCCA timing's.

B-Spec Threaded Metal Inserts for Plastic Intake Manifolds

#34164 from Kent Carter · Rule change · TB 23-06 (2023-06 Fastrack)

neutralB-Spec and C-Spec allow metal threaded inserts in plastic intake manifolds for throttle body fasteners.

In B-Spec and C-Spec Categories Specifications, GCR Section 9.1.10.E., add the following:
"48. All cars which use throttle body to intake fasteners directly into a plastic intake, are allowed to convert the intakes to
accommodate a metal threaded insert. This is done for the sole reason that repeated removal of the restrictor plate wears the
threads in the intake and eventually causes the need to replace the intake."

The popularity of BSPEC has brought heightened attention to the Balance of Performance (BoP). Given the wide diversity of
eligible cars and their designs, driving ability, car preparation/tuning levels, and other variables outside of SCCA’s control, the BoP
in this class has been remarkably close. As compared to IMSA’s job of balancing cars which are all professionally prepared, driven,
and highly instrumented, the job of our advisory committees and CRB is considerably more difficult. There are most certainly
outliers and cars which are superior under certain conditions, but in the absence of BoP regulations which vary from track to track
a perfect balance every weekend is not to be expected. The BoP is set by SCCA for what is perceived to be the ultimate tune and
best driver in a given car across the entire racing season and over as many tracks as can be reasonably sampled. If a car is not
prepared, tuned, and driven to its ultimate capability we cannot expect that it will be on par with cars of other manufacture which

are to such level; the BoP is not a handicap program. And, while the class is named “BSPEC”, it is not a spec class as is FE2 or SRF3.
The more experienced mechanics and drivers will certainly have an advantage over those who only race a few times per season.
Anecdotal observations do not serve the SCCA in working towards a proper BoP, yet that is the type of information most commonly
provided in support of a requested change. Hard data and experience are what drive change to the BoP.
Despite what we believe to be an excellent BoP for this class, there is always room for improvement. The BSPEC Advisory
Committee has recently been charged with the considerable task of classifying cars and refining the technical specifications for
the new T5/CSPEC class and, as a result, does not have sufficient time or resources to address the immediate demands for BoP
adjustments in BSPEC. As a result, veteran CRB members Peter Keane, Tom Start, and Sam Henry have poured through BSPEC
data reports from events over the past eighteen (18) months and have recommended to the CRB the following changes which
were approved during its most recent meeting. These changes will be effective beginning 5/1/2023 for positive adjustments and
6/1/2023 for negative adjustments. Data will be gathered as possible with a focus on continued improvement. Comments and
suggestions regarding same should be forwarded through the official letter system. Your continuing support of BSPEC and SCCA
is greatly appreciated.
