RandomTask Posted June 28, 2017 Report Share Posted June 28, 2017 We'll be there in the vette. Just so you all know, in our team, we have 2 ringer drivers, 2 good but not professional drivers, and 2 extra slow drivers. We'll be putting some sort of signage on the car to let you know who's behind the wheel. We've also reached out to Chump to get extra instruction prior to the race so we all have the best understanding we can. Finally, if you feel like we're doing something wrong, or have a complaint, please come see any of us so we can address it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Umm, yes dangerously slow is dangerously slow; I meant slow as in about 10 seconds/lap off the better drivers pace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good strategy- everyone will be so tired of picking on you before the race, you won't have to listen to them after the race! I look forward to a.) figuring out how to make a clean pass and b.) getting my doors blown off, depending on who's driving your car for that stint- keeps it interesting (oh- and just FYI, rotary racing is in B class this year, one less contender for an EC win) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turns out it was Bobby Labonte in the car. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My sons Opel GT is slow. like very slow. 15-20 seconds off the leaders per lap at VIR South. Some of the fast guys just have no clue how to deal with slower traffic. Some of them are effing idiots. But I don't want to get into name calling. Just really stress to your slow guys to hold the line, don't drive by the mirror, and make certain to hold on while dumbasses dive-bomb and try to make the corner before you can.

The only problem I have with slower traffic is the lines are sometimes unpredictable so when you take an opening they give you sometimes you're forced off track due to them not looking in their mirrors or maybe it's the slow red mist effect.

When you're driving that fast MR2 it's dumbass slow drivers. When you're driving the Opel, it's dumbass fast drivers. Can't argue with you as I've been on both sides myself driving slow cars (Saturn) and fast cars (BMW) , just find it funny coming from you.

bendawson3 Posted June 30, 2017 Report Share Posted June 30, 2017 For all the folks worried about how to deal with slow traffic, LeMons is your friend for developing race craft, in general, but especially honing your skills of being ready for the unpredictable and quickly deciding how you'll get around some VERY slow cars. I know a lot of people poop on the series but it can be very valuable developmentally. I've always had fun there too. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idiots are slower; Maniacs are faster. I'm familiar with Carlin's segment -- for obvious reasons, posting video links is a No-Go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Bill Strong Posted July 5, 2017 Administrators Report Share Posted July 5, 2017 Not always. sometimes a team that has a shop there on the business park premises may offer up the service. But don't rely on that info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sasco Motorsports at VIR does offer tire mounting and balancing. They are open on Friday and typically Saturday mornings. Paid $100 to mount and balance 4 tires.
