krispykritter 232 Posted November 16, 2020 Report Share Posted November 16, 2020 (edited) Pretty sure I blew right passed someone (a porsche 944) under caution coming out the carousel sometime after 10 pm. Even with in-car video I can't see the yellow flag, but I think it was there. Apparently wasn't called in either, though.

BigMoneyWasters 478 Posted November 16, 2020 Report Share Posted November 16, 2020 It seemed like the normal amount of corner workers to me. I could easily see the yellows that were being ignored. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Think I'm going back to EC. How does going "back to EC" help your situation? Edited November 16, 2020 by QuaTTro 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It allows me to make improvements to try to be competitive on the track. Not competitive for the win (that's just not realistic) but to not be a rolling chicane. Could we make no cost changes to the car to lighten it up or make it faster? I guess, but it won't make it fast enough to make a difference. Our last car (RIP) was fun to drive and easy to zoom through tech each year in EC. When your car starts at 530 stock (330ci) what's the point? I'd just rather go fast and pass a few cars here and there. We probably picked the wrong car but I had a ton of M54 spares. But that's a whole different thread. Did not mean to hijack this one.

But that's a whole different thread. Did not mean to hijack this one. Thanks Exactly our thinking. The series, IMHO, is becoming laughable when "Classed" cars are doing NASA GT3/American Iron lap times. These cars are usually north of $50K build costs. We will not be building our next car for this series, rather a competitor with "real, honest and competitive" rules. We have been a multiple EC class winning car in the past and we will go back there for the future. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

On the east coast anyway, the only series with potentially more affordable racing that I am aware of is the Citrus Flavored one. btw, the E30 is looking pretty sharp.

We will be focusing on a simple weight/hp endurance series. Also have 2 co-owners interested in licensed club racing. The citrus series, again IMHO, is not serious and we are about racing. Thanks on the car compliment. We have worked hard to make it competitive. In fact, we took a page from your book, maybe several. Descent result two weeks ago, 24 overall and 12th in class with two of us running the car out of fuel due to venting issues.

In that case they might have run re71r since it's an excellent rain tire Also brings up a problematic twist, some teams run the re71r as a rain tire but RS4 as a hot tire.

It’s been discussed, if rain tires are going to be a thing, the race director can call when that change is acceptable Quote Link to post Share on other sites

johnwilding 19 Posted November 21, 2020 Report Share Posted November 21, 2020 The OP says 'Images - Coming Soon', was there a Champcar photographer at the event? Thanks again to the Champcar Team for another awesome event, Level One is always looking forward to the next adventure with the series. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
95m3ltw 37 Posted December 9, 2020 Report Share Posted December 9, 2020 Who was in the #334 Miata for the start? Had a fun couple laps chasing you down and dealing with car issues at the same time. Our car would drop a cylinder several times a lap, requiring a main power cycle to reset the ECU. Fun race at times, exhausting at night with no traction in the rain and a few car issues always makes for a great first trackweekend after 18 months out of the car. https://youtu.be/VFrXAvTJf6o?t=5807 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Magical Trevor 3 Posted February 8 Report Share Posted February 8 I'm ridiculously late posting this, but here's most of the race/video we got in the #713 EC-class BMW E36. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
