I don't know. I know there was some communications. But that is all I know for now. Still a lot of negotiations going on between the EDs and tracks.

Even got to run it with lights on the car at dusk! One of my favorite events of all time! I got to run the last stint in the dark, and brakes that only worked after right hand turns! The transition from south to north I would crest the hill, let off, shift early, and slam the wheel as hard as I could lat to get scrub speed because I didn't have brakes. 2 hours of that was nerve wracking! Pulled the wheel off after the race and the passenger rear pad was a backing plate welded to the piston, with nothing left on the drivers side. Also, that race, every single car that lead the race broke at some point, I believe with you all being the 1st ones with the rear brake hose. I really want to go back, even if only the South course. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think spartan was leading when a clutch failed, then it was us with brake failure? I think JSK followed suit and you guys with suspension spring? Wacky race, but the 3 track format was so so so cool. Loved it. Edited September 10, 2019 by enginerd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, we had a coil spring decide to shatter.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You did get that advantage of you lead nearly doubling when we went to the full course for three hours. It was fun but that nuance was a bit wonky.

And don’t forget that the MOV went the other way when we switched to North course for Sunday, 4 lap penalty on a 1:15 lap is way less than 4 laps on a 3:00 lap!!! I have considered a rules petition to change the default unit of measure for penalties in the rulebook from laps to a length unit (miles/kilometers) to address this, but haven’t pulled the trigger. I think it would get voted down by everyone but my fellow engineering homies. Edited September 12, 2019 by enginerd 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously though a distance penalty makes sense both ways. If they ever did the track switch again at that point laps should convert to distance and then make it as close as they can. Im no engineer though so I’d prolly have to vote against it 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or up to the officials' discretion? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jer Posted September 13, 2019 Report Share Posted September 13, 2019 If you guys want Eagles Canyon, call them and ask! They have resisted us, got some bad info from a competing series and won't give us a date. We would like to go there. Start a calling campaign and maybe they will change their minds. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's still surprising to me. I'll keep my testing dollars at MSR Cresson then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
