Guest posnova Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 A great day of tech! The rain came and went a few times, but no one got overly soaked! 57 vehicles passed tech and will (hopefully) take the flag tomorrow morning. All of the Chumps are excited to put this winter to rest and break out the race season, but Mother Nature has some more of the same ol' stuff.Just like today, tomorrow and Sunday's low and high are 47 degrees, with a 100% chance of rain. If there was ever a race to use the "rain tires", this would be it. Flood warnings still in effect. Lake PIR will have consumed most of the usual entrance path just previous to the track crossing on the front stretch. Look for the optional turn 8 gate depending on water levels .Track opens 7AM.Driver's meeting at 8.Green Flag at 9.As always, live timing is available at http://www.chumpcar....index.php?id=10.ALSO!Check out LIVE INTERNET VIDEO! of this entire race, switching between 9 camera feeds, overlayed with timing data for each vehicle athttp://www.pirlive.com/Car# Team Name Car0 Angry Birdz 1992 Eagle Talon1 Squirrels of Fury I 1982 Audi 2+2 -13 Squirrels of Fury II 1983 VW Scirocco4 Apex of Failure 1987 Mazda RX75 Joint Custody Racing I 1993 Mazda Miata6 Stumptown Chumpsters 1983 Chevrolet Camaro8 Crash Test Dummies 1985 Honda CRX HF9 Clutch on Fire Racing 1987 Toyota MR210 Martini Racers 1990 VW Golf12 J.A.T (Japanese Auto Techs) 1988 Toyota Corolla GT-S13 Backmarkers 1995 BMW 325i15 Proletariat Red 1982 Mazda RX-718 Parabellum Motorsports 1994 Mazda Miata19 Village Thunder Racing 1983 Ford Thunderbird20 North LoopMotorsports 1988 BMW 325i22 Slingshot Racing 1985 Ford Mustang23 Joint Custody Racing II 1996 Mazda Miata24 Asphalt Mafia 1987 BMW 535i25 Chotchkie's Racing 1990 BMW 325i27 Finger Tight Racing 1970 Ford Maverick28 La Familia 1982 Fiat X1/929 Response Time Racing 1992 Honda Civic50 Killerwhale 1985 Ford Thunderbird31 That’s Racing 1975 Chevrolet Nova33 Paul Newmans Revenge 1991 Nissan 240SX39 Worker's Revenge 1989 Honda CRX40 Hawaii 2-4-Oh 1989 Nissan 240SX41 Sports Car Market Expresss 1983 Mazda RX-743 Spydey Two POS 1984 Chevrolet Monte Carlo44 Roadhogs 1988 Ford Mustang45 Mountain Goat Racing 1993 Nissan Sentra47 Little Red Rotary 1985 Mazda RX-748 Dan Gurney for President 1992 Mustang49 Hubbard Racing 1992 Honda Prelude51 General Leif 1970 Volvo 14252 The Soccer Moms 1993 Dodge Caravan53 Alpo-na BMW 1976 BMW 200255 Team PontiAxed 1986 Pontiac Fiero GT56 Team Geriatrics 1982 Mustang Coupe57 Fast & Furious 1993 Honda Civic Coupe59 GOT THOMAS 1991 Honda CRX60 team toxic avenger 1995 Dodge Neon66 The Grey Cloud 1981 Mazda RX-767 Legomaniacs 1986 VW Golf69 RaceyDiva 1982 Nissan 280Z71 Dirty Little Freaks Racing 1982 Mercedes 300SD72 TSR I 1985 Pontiac Firebird73 TSR II 1985 Chevrolet Camaro79 Rag& Bone Motorwerks 1981 Nissan 280ZX T80 April Fool's Failure Turbo 1987 Toyota MR283 GI Chump 1983 Datsun 280ZX87 Best Intentions Racing 1987 BMW 325e88 Capitol Chumps 1988 Mazda 32389 Team GI SHO 1989 Ford Taurus SHO94 Partridge Family Revenge 1999 Mazda Protege97 Hello Kitty 1980 VW Rabbit99 last chance 1972 Ford Maverick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

underdogg Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 stopped the race for a manditory drivers meeting... yikes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinkTimber Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 Watching the live video and live timing. Looks like cars are back on track circulating under yellow flag. It does look very wet there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest posnova Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 The live video is awesome, isn't it? You can watch the cars be collected up, watch the driver's meeting, and watch them circulate on the yellow.. and then.. under yellow.. cause another incident in back, wall hit.All drivers so far have been ok. Vehicles, not so much.Our race steward today, Ms. Cathy "racy diva" McCause has warned that another red flag means everyone goes home for the day. We passed out the meds during the 2nd driver's meeting, so hopefully everyone calms down a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest posnova Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 And another spin, with contact, directly in front of the safety truck. An exciting day in the relentless rain.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Methius Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 Another car in the wall at turn 8, pretty severe impact. Driver ok. Car 13 white. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest posnova Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 that'll buff out!That poop did buff out. 73 Yellow has re-entered the race.

Guest Methius Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 I don't know how, but car 73 shown above just went back out. I've been told there were some chains and tow vehicles involved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KLR142 Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 The Mercedes diesel lost its oil coming onto the back straight and it was making people go crazy. Pause for cleanup now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest posnova Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 We're back underway after an extensive cleanup effort. We depleted the safety crew's, track's and several chump team's supplies of clean sweep and kitty litter. Oil from just after turn 7 apex all the way through turn 11. As was stated, an oil cooler line blew off and hosed down the racing line. So, that red flag won't end our racing today. It wasn't a driver-initiated "incident" .Cars are back out on yellow.. and we're about to restart. Again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest posnova Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 And.. on full course yellow.. 2 spin and continues, and a wall hit, again.. car disabled. Still full course yellow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
