smokinjoe Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Direct correlation with Hoosier contingency. In 2012 tho, I would like to see the top 1-2 finishers go over the scales at least once p/ weekend and get a once over with their points sheet. There are some sketchy cars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some sketchy cars I go over 10-14 cars per weekend. Volunteers to work impound for TT around race groups and DE? If I drop a session I can make it happen easily. If there are sketchy cars idle chatter on a forum is useless. Tell me the cars and be ready for the consequences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen a competitor come up to you, make a specific challange to a specific car, you took care of it immeadiately and professionally. And you encourage our self-policing, see Mark, Scott, Jason, Morris, etc. they feed on each other to prepare their cars to the limit of the rules. I've been to a few Mid-South events and because car counts are low they had the scales up and everyone had to go over them. I was amazed how close I was on weight. I thought for sure I'd be pushing 100 over my race weight, it was closer to 40 over. I'll have to watch it and probably need a new reclass from Greg.

I personally don't know of any sketchy cars, but having functional scales is a good idea. Heck, there's nothing more I'd like to see than a mobile dyno roll up in March at Rd. Atl. I've heard some interesting stories about some of the race group cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some sketchy cars Are you referring to me since I was 0.2 seconds behind your record lap in what is essentially a street car? - (full interior with AC, stereo, carpet, etc.) The trunk is the only thing I have stripped and S2000's don't have much of a trunk. On top of that, I have a 4pt. roll bar back there which more than offsets the trunk lining. If this is in regards to power, shall I post up my video where you leave me on the back straight by a 1/4 mile or maybe even my dyno sheet with 194 whp?

dans2k Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 I'd like to see some scales too since I went to nationals and realised I was running at least 50lbs over most of the year! I don't think anyone could seriously say wynn was running light to achieve those times. Its just hard to get a car bellow 2700lbs (without driver) and be streetable. Mines about 2670lbs ish with half a tank without me and i took a lot more stuff out than last time I saw his car + I have a lightweight hardtop.

Varkwso Posted December 6, 2011 Author Share Posted December 6, 2011 Wynn was parked across from me. I looked at his car. It was not light. And only a maniac with unlimited funds can bump up a S2000 without boost. If you plan on podiuming in 2012 in TT you need to plan on a compliant dyno sheet to provide to me no matter the class. It is a minor expense compared to other prep. Seems like a session, one with high turnout, will be turned into no notice weight checks.
