bluebandit48 Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 FYI Ferraro rolled through the scales yesterday at 3252, showing both that the s197 can get to the published minimum weight and that he is as serious as it gets about being fast! Damn.. Maybe we should put him on a 205. Im glad he is serious about being fast. I know when I spend my thousands of dollars I don't want to be fast and im not serious at all.

BADVENM Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Great job in todays race #22 Cody Powell! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Any last minute predictions? Rumor has it that Anders signed up for the Champ race. Will he repeat? My money is on a battle between Cody and Derek. I am pulling for Dan Alford to be the upset. How many of the CMC guys have been running the qual races (20 minutes) at the same weight the need for the Champ race (40 minutes)? Who can drive mistake free for 40 minutes? That is alot of time for folks who have never done it. Mid O can be hard to pass on, expect big moves the first few laps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadracerwhite Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 It is so nice to watch the spec Z race all of two cars for the lead. What BS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CMC#11 Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Full course yellow to bunch the spec Z's back together, how exciting!!! The CMC guys are putting down some pretty quick times, the end should be exciting!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glenn Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 CMC Track record on lap 16 set by a S-197. Yep, those tires really fell off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glenn Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 If you think the S-197 was not the favorite the whole time, your crazy. I picked my fellow 4th gen brothers. I'm a sucker for an underdog. So...... 2 S-197's and they finish 1-2 and one sets a track record on lap 16? 3300lb min for the S-197 for 2013?

RichV Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 No paying to watch! It's been free for the past few years. I hope NASA and Speed get an earfull on broadcasting 90% about the SpecZ. FFR and CMC hardly got mentioned or camera time. The classes were much larger than the Z class. Congrats to the winners!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wastntim Posted September 9, 2012 Author Share Posted September 9, 2012 The TV coverage blew! Both CMC and FFR become the read headed stepchildren and for a car running BF Goodrich. Isnt' TOYO the spect tire of NASA? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wastntim Posted September 9, 2012 Author Share Posted September 9, 2012 Last year Anders benefited by FFR traffic and it looked like the exact opposite this year. Plus Chris didn't run out ouf gas. Congrats to everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BADVENM Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Congrats to all the CMC drivers for making the trip out there to compete. Surely there were dataloggers in some of the different platforms...correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 I went to watch the AI race yesterday and was asked to login. I did and it siad I needed to upgrade to watch live feeds. $20. I was pissed, and didn't do it. If I clicked on the Watch Now link, it showed last years race. Today it took me right in. Didn't see any but the last 3 laps. Watched on the T/S live feed up until then. I'll be able to go back and watch it all once they upload it all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowBolt Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Either the S197 has to go or the class will become Spec S197. I'm looking for one now. JJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 I'm happy for Ferraro and all the CMC'ers. But the S-197 has dominated the last few years. Time for the Ford guys to admit the 4th gen is not the "must have" platform. I have to assume that contact isn't gonna change the results. I know they still need to Dyno as well.

Glenn Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Either the S197 has to go or the class will become Spec S197. I'm looking for one now. JJ Don't bother. The S-197 has already been a topic of conversation amoung Directors well before Nats. This will surely bring it to a head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The S-197 has already been a topic of conversation amoung Directors well before Nats. This will surely bring it to a head. If they already knew it why was almost nothing done? I know from my DE days where I was on 305's and Jay was on 235's it just does not make a big a difference as you would think. Good luck getting this car down to the Fox-SN95 level.

Glenn Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Gathering data takes time. We can assume all we want, but it is better to make adjustments when there is none to very little doubt it is needed. And I'm sure everyone likes adjustments and changes to be made in the off season.
