When's your next outing at NJMP? I'm bouncing back and forth from NJ to the Stohr / Dauntless factory in Cali these days, but if schedules align I can drop by the track to have a look at...

Appears to be a LeGrand of some variety to my untrained eye.

Daryl:

I hear you, but no benefit of the doubt is needed. The WF1 driver was on a pretty typical line through the entry to the carousel. Not dissimilar, by the way, to the line that Jeremy...

I'm personally not seeing anything worth blinking twice about in any of those situations, really.

Daryl: just so I can understand this right, the "move" you have issue with is when the WF1 didn't...

Since the inclusion of engine and restrictors into the spec table required dyno sheets and hard data from the competitors and advisory board members who submitted them, this issue could be put to bed...

Hi Jim:

Dauntless Racing have acquired Stohr Cars, check out our announcement for more details:

Dauntless Racing is delighted to announce that we've reached an agreement to buy Stohr Cars! The WF1 and F1000 cars that Lee Stohr and Wayne Felch guided to so much on-track success over the years...

Trent:

What you describe is accurate for SIRs. Not, however, for IIRs as generally provisioned for in F1000.

Not really hard when you come from sprints / midgets. 2-5 races a night is common, depending on how many heats you have to work your way through - and events are once or twice a week rather than...

For those of you wondering what a Woody DSR might look like:

</threadjack>

The former (a GCR rule passage) actually defines "Permitted Fuel", while the latter (a glossary) defines the more generic "Fuel". But have fun playing Devil's Advocate.

This is a talking point fail. Both classes have extensively engaged in "weight penalties for things" in the past, and quite recently at that. Anyway, the notion that we just don't engage in that kind...

Swing and a miss - I suspect Jeremy Hill, or any Zetec powered competitor might have a slight issue with this statement. Aluminum heads ring any bells? Yes, it's an example of more poor behavior...

FA as a class has a very different philosophy from FB, as I'm sure you know. Nobody cares about shifting systems in what is already widely considered to be a class with a "bring a big bag of cash"...

There will always be places to spend money, in all classes. We all know what happens in the spec engine realm, with respect to mix+match parts and finding that magical combination.

But you know...

By all means then, throw your toys out of the pram and sulk. Look, the problem you are having at the moment stems from the fact that you frame the problem thusly: if your opinion is different from...

This particular system is $5k. You will find others with similar functionality for far less money, and even the geartronics prices will eventually come down. At the moment, they own the top spot in...

And here we have the voice of leadership. Do you know how I know you're not interested in seeking a solution to the issue in a meaningful and rational way?

Jon,

I am disappointed. You're usually a voice of reason 'round these parts, but this general sentiment and attitude is completely unfathomable and inappropriate. This is a club, and an...

How did I know you'd be the guy to actually go to that URL? But take heart, there is always Rule 51. ;)


Cheers,

Seriously though - this is still a MacGuffin. They do not have to take the system off and put it back on for Pro races. They just have a different weight schedule for each series, based on their...

You guys relying on Urban Dictionary for current and up to date rules of the internet are totes lame.

Shows what you know, I've already skipped to Rule 49: Profit.

Unpopular opinions ahead

I know I am breaking the 20th rule of the Internet here, but inasmuch as we all love to bitch, where is the grownup accountability for the survival of the class? Where is...

LOLWUT? Geez Nicholas, that was one bold, underline, red and italics away from going all Art Smith on us.

Doable, but significantly less secure than checking an ECU, which is typically done on a checksum basis to ensure that the entire programming stack flashed to the hardware has not been tampered with....

As a software professional, this literally made me laugh out loud. Just sayin'.

Yes; there is a moderate amount of drag from an overhead air intake, but partially offset by the additional HP from ram air. Short answer is that there are probably other areas of the car that can...

Qualifications?

Yup - every letter I've ever sent to the CRB has been CC'd to the BOD. In the end, the BOD has to make a decision to ratify CRB recommendations anyway - appealing and communicating to leadership...

Nope. The current FA engine table originated from one particular member of the Advisory Committee and was pushed through on an expedited basis, without the usual and customary review period by...

How would you describe the current state of FA engine table rules, and are you aware of how it happened?


Cheers,

Seconded! Time to enlist Wren and Josh to the CRB and push through some solutions.

Truly sir, you are the very model of restraint.

Of course not, sheesh! I mean, we all know that the iceberg had an agenda, and that's why the Titanic sank so fast. ;)

Just a minor correction to the neat CAD work by Nathan - the typical Van Diemen diffuser is a stepped affair, with the center section slightly raised compared to the outboard area. Attached are an...

Yes, I am quite sure. Add another dimension to your analysis, in light of the resulting horizontal section profile shape rendered by the stepped ceiling of the diffuser in your linked image. It is...

I agree with this interpretation (obviously). Another sign of the end of days??



Therein lies the rub. The Pennon units would fall afoul of this interpretation for sure, though I am not sure...

Josh,

Only a few so far. Other than the folks you mentioned, Mike Manning has been carrying on with testing duties for us on the West coast, running his RF01 with our prototype parts in FC. That...

Yes, that's what we've been discussing. In particular on a formula car, air flow under the front wing, and air flow under the diffuser transition.

Hi Chris,

You've still got pitch sensitivity, though not nearly to the degree that your high-nose brethren do. Your moustache wings are raised in the center as opposed to raised at the ends - a...
