V8legends Posted August 13, 2009 Posted August 13, 2009 A little worried about running a Legends 4.8 gal tank a little dry after 45 minutes. We will try to run 2-20 minute practice sessions on Weds to see if we can get close. Otherwise we will look like the NASCAR Boys trying to save fuel a the Glenn! V8
bpanther Posted August 13, 2009 Posted August 13, 2009 Yep. We are working with Randy and your Race Director Dave Lang to make sure this doesn't happen. We've pushed Legends and TR's 40 minutes (NASA time) at Miller before, but who knows what an extra 2 laps might result in. If need be, we will shorten Group J just slightly.
bpanther Posted August 13, 2009 Posted August 13, 2009 Ok. So it's a sprint race for group J except the Legends. They will do a mandatory fuel stop - enduro style baby!!!
V8legends Posted August 13, 2009 Author Posted August 13, 2009 I guess I could do a few things to help with the fuel milage...Remove the "Push to Pass" button...Take a little wing out of the front AND Rear...Remove the "Large Nitros Bottle" oh yeah and drop the % of Nitromethane down a touch, but not too much, I still want to be competative. Did I say that outloud?? Steve

Doesn't quite seem right to short everyone in the group. How about the Legends start from pit lane after 3 laps?
V8legends Posted August 17, 2009 Author Posted August 17, 2009 Starting for the pits??? Let's see... single file.. only 8-10 cars....and they are small...3 laps into the race time there should still be a reasonable gap at the tail end of the line....Standing start, no passing until end of merge line.. you know THIS COULD WORK!
