alzilla Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 Hi everyone! I'm Alex, the latest addition to the Three Sheets Racing roster. Although we had a few hiccups throughout the weekend (blown gearbox and occasional lapses of skill in the rain), the car ran great and we still had a lot of fun! It was great to meet so many fellow chumps and race alongside you at Road America. I had a blast this weekend and I'm looking forward to racing again in Iowa.I've been an avid photographer for the past few years and I thought I'd share a few photos I took during the race weekend.Here are a few from Saturday's race: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clovold Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 Very nice!I think my favorite is the shot of the monitor with two cars in the gravel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alzilla Posted April 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 Thanks for the info, John. I'm not trying to sell anything (I know my fellow chumps would rather spend money on racing anyway) and I just wanted to share the pics with everyone who might want to see them. Thanks for tipping me off to the gallery section. I'll use that from here on out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sloan royal Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 I think my favorite is the shot of the monitor with two cars in the gravel I do what I can! Can you believe Alex wants to be on our team? Even if he wasn't really quick (which he is) he makes the rest of us look cool no matter what we're doing.

csadn Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 Oh, I see -- #22 was parodying the car from _Dumb and Dumber_. Or there's a remarkable coincidence.Also, a question on #21: I've just looked through the rules, and I can't find the rule on bodywork. I know it's legal -- else it wouldn't have raced -- but I can't find the section of the rules something like that falls under. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's legal -- else it wouldn't have raced -- but I can't find the section of the rules something like that falls under.10.3. Body Panels:10.3.1. Body panels shall be securely mounted. Fender skirts and hub caps shall be removed. The hood andengine compartment shall be securely fastened.10.3.2. Each car entered must have a minimum of 50% of the ORIGINAL body panels or uni-body/frame onthe car. No frame and cage only cars. No skeletons. No kit cars. You can get rid of the hood andtrunk lid, or cut-off the roof… but the rest of the car better be there.ya I kind of wondered about that too. I'm not sure 50% of the original body panels are there.

csadn Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 Keep reading the rules....you missed an important 'OR' That would be the "body panels *OR* unibody/frame" -- and BMWs aren't known for being unibodies....Thanks, all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lordmulgath Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 Threadjack in progress.Keep reading the rules....you missed an important 'OR' You're wrong. I didn't miss it, I kept reading maybe you should too :10.3.2. Each car entered must have a minimum of 50% of the ORIGINAL body panels or uni-body/frame onthe car. No frame and cage only cars. No skeletons. No kit cars. You can get rid of the hood andtrunk lid, or cut-off the roof… but the rest of the car better be there.I'm not saying I have a problem with what they did, I'm just curious where the line gets drawn? That BMW appears to have no roof, no hood, no trunk and no rear quarters(at least not much left).Just wondering where CCWS stands on it.Those are some really great pics too. Thanks for posting them Three Sheets! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krek Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 Just wondering where CCWS stands on it.The car was teched at a CCWS event by CCWS staff.If CCWS felt the chopping was excessive, penalty laps were awarded.Penalty laps aren't published unless the Brake Dusters choose to share the information.(note, I'm not being a "smartass" or "know-it-all"... but posting my opinion of how the process works ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clovold Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 That's interesting, I didn't realize that penalty laps were confidential now. I must have missed that. I'm sure they have good reason if they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
