Wheelman_99 15 Posted October 17, 2020 Report Share Posted October 17, 2020 (edited) Responding to the above question regarding a Snack Shack(?)... Gear Box (best track food in the US according to many!) and the round concessions by the traffic circle run by the church were open this past week for the Runoffs. GB didn't have their German Potato Salad though Both concessions had 10 and 20 lb bags of ice. EDIT: Supps say just the round one by the traffic circle Edited October 17, 2020 by Wheelman_99 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wheelman_99 15 Posted October 17, 2020 Report Share Posted October 17, 2020 Please for the love of sanity, prove that you all know how to use the traffic circle better than some of the SCCA people last week!! Some people failed so badly that the track setup cones... And people still screwed it up! Side note for the Covid concerned: WI finally figured out what Covid is and was taking things much more seriously than they were in June. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wheelman_99 15 Posted October 17, 2020 Report Share Posted October 17, 2020 FYI: Regarding pets at Rd America, I'm not sure ChampCar's stance, but there were tons of well behaved dogs on leashes all last week. The supps say Camping Thursday and Friday night... I ASSume Saturday night as well? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ian 1,570 Posted October 18, 2020 Report Share Posted October 18, 2020 What's the story on an allowance for coolant? It's been below freezing the last couple of nights. I thought there was an allowance in the BCCR, but can't find it. I may be thinking of a different rulebook. I'm not looking forward to firing the cars up overnight at the track every couple hours to keep them from freezing over. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wvumtnbkr 7,203 Posted October 18, 2020 Report Share Posted October 18, 2020 It's not in the rulebook. Usually something in the supps or emails before the race. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If so, cardboard (or similar) in front and behind rad and or cover the car, park in trailer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I will add to the supps tomorrow 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They've always told us no passengers. But one year the person leading the class said something about approved driving instructors could do ride alongs with pre-approval.

Administrators E. Tyler Pedersen 3,985 Posted October 19, 2020 Administrators Report Share Posted October 19, 2020 @Bill Strong is there a rule on heaters in the pits? Maybe I missed it in the supps, but I didn't see one. I assume no open flame but what is acceptable? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bill Strong 7,147 Posted October 19, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2020 Probably because I wrote the supps in the late spring. but yes. no open flames. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

55mini 747 Posted October 19, 2020 Report Share Posted October 19, 2020 Just a little update on the weather in our area, a little SW of Road America, as I sit here in my office looking out at the new white snow which has covered the ground in the last 45 minutes. Welcome to the midwest and hopefully it will all be gone by the weekend. Bring warm clothes and be prepared. See you all soon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Snorman 2,814 Posted October 19, 2020 Report Share Posted October 19, 2020 (edited) We stuck a chiminea in the trailer for this weekend. That's about as good as Floridians can do. EDIT: does anybody know where we can buy firewood in Wisconsin? Here in Florida we buy it at the grocery store. Edited October 20, 2020 by Snorman 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
