Easiest way to “streetable”

Virginia, can confirm. A couple years ago Champcar was surprised when we asked to use their printer before driving the racecar home from a race. -

The parachute is great advise, I wish more teams would run these. Our 318 isn't fast enough to keep the chute deployed, but it would certainly help with the faster teams.

2021 VIR 12-Hour Race results, reports, and images
takjak2 replied to Bill Strong's topic in Race Results and Reports
Good race for our Miata. We know we had the speed to finish higher had it not been for an unexpected wheel hub change around hour 3 that cost us precious minutes in the pits. Everything went well after that and we were able to claw our way back up. -
Flagtronics, is full implementation still on schedule?
takjak2 replied to Ian's topic in General Discussion and ChampCar Info
Had one of the Flagtronics in our car for the VIR race. Easy install. Worked great. None of our drivers looked to it for flagging, instead keeping their eyes up to flagstations. It did excel in the role of pit timer, and the current hardware is a great deal for all the features it can enable the series with going forward. -
2021 Official - Road America Spring - The National Championship
Jer replied to Bill Strong's topic in Race Events
High Plains is a great track but test days there suck too. $120/person. For a 24 hour event it was 720$ for the team which was crazy. But did allow me to run the Elise out there when the Miata was on track, and another not-to-be-named teammate flogged a rental Camry which was pretty funny. it had no tires or brakes left when we were done. -
Our splitter is about 4" off the ground as well, but we need the airflow for a large rear undertray/diffuser. For you guys I recommend a parachute. It'll keep the back end from coming around.

New Yellow Flag Rule - WRL
sf4018 replied to MR2 Biohazard's topic in General Discussion and ChampCar Info
Agreed @Burningham, it’s a small change that’s designed to make it absolutely clear. I saw the rap sheet for the penalties last weekend, it was long and quickly applied without exception, including to our team - we saw our position drop just a few laps after the infraction. The big difference for me between the 2 series is not so much the rule change but the enforcement, without it it’s just words on paper. This should be the focus for Champcar IMO. -

Ian replied to Bill Strong's topic in Race Events
I was not blaming CCES. This is just my place to reach the group of people who are actually going to this race to see if I was the only one caught off guard. And judging by rogers post it was the right decision. Together we are strong. -

Please make certain to read the 2021 BCCR. We had a handful of people at VIR that thought their cars were up to date because the had all of the 2017 stuff done to the car. I may be exaggerating a wee bit. But not by much. https://champcar.org/web/rules.php Cars need DASH BARS added to the cage. Not the OE bar that supports the dash, but a real 1.5" x .095" minimum dash bar welded between your cages A-pillar bars. Teams have been warned for the past 1.5 years that the bar would be required on January 1, 2021. And if your reply as to why you don't have a dash bar is because your da -

Burningham replied to Bill Strong's topic in Race Events
Ahem. Y'all can thank me. I sent a note to the organizer and they looked back at past track days and reconsidered the extra driver fee. No extra $150!!!!!. I'll take tips at the track. Or beer. Edit: Actually you can thank Bridget Beck at the track who did the reconsidering. Maybe beer goes that way instead. But I did ask and got an email reply stating such. -

Guys we don't control the test day. That is track specific. We get no revenue as an org from that and therefore can't tell you what you will get or not get. -
Yes, the SSL certificate issue will be resolved in "2 buisiness days" from when we updated the site (Saturday evening). The pricing for the ChampCar Flagtronics package (FT200 Unit, Harness, and GPS) is $150. Anything more expensive than that is simply a miscommunication between us and our web development guy. I'll get right on resolving this.
