davidfarmer Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 I took a few minutes Friday to look over the VIR ST3 Entries. Out of 16 ST3/TT3 cars, only 1 was fully compliant. Someone should care about this ** I haven't gone back fully over the database, but I see very few changes in the past few days** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
National Staff Greg G. Posted March 22, 2022 National Staff Share Posted March 22, 2022 David, NASA does care about this, and we are working on having our regional officials tighten up their compliance verification protocols. The identifiers are important to verify that the Dyno information submitted actually goes with the vehicle it was submitted for. Of course, compliance is the responsibility of the competitors, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now it’s spot on. Guys had their paperwork in the paddock. Sure it would have been ideal to have it all uploaded the same day. This isn’t a “gotcha” moment you are trying to make it. Everything will be fine for the next event since we all have the paperwork and can scan it in. I don’t even recall you being there? Everyone who was knows the paperwork was available.

Racerwong Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 (edited) Hi David, thank you for bringing this up. I specifically brought up in my series meeting the need for forms to be correct. I did some spot checks while there and they looked ok. Below is a list Im keeping here so I have notes and as an effort to be totally transparent. Maybe you can tell me what is incorrect. I see more than one entry as being correct unless youre saying someone hasnt printed out the updated dyno cert form that was released a few days before the event. In that case, it's tough for someone who had already gotten a dyno weeks before to go back to the operator to get their signature. That's a pretty petty complaint in my opinion: Vernon McClure: All ok except dyno cert form (rev 10-20). Lawrence Gibson: Missing cert form , has RPM and plot Scott Blair: All ok except dyno cert (rev 1-18) Ted Ambrose: 100% ok w/ new dyno cert form Roberto Crescencio: All ok except dyno cert form (rev 1-18) Steven Laderman: All ok except dyno cert form ( rev 10-20) Michael Fitzpatrick: Missing Cert form Adam Chugg: 100% ok Eric Wong: 100% ok EDIT: RE-uploaded and put info on pertinent pages. John Huebner: Not in database but swore I saw him in there as I looked up his weight. EDIT: Info there now. IN ADDITION to the above, we had DOUBLE impound dynos for top 5 in class for both Sat qualifying AND Sat race. Even to the dismay of people asking why we were impounding them twice in the same day. EVERYTHING checked out as it should have. Edited March 22, 2022 by Racerwong update Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is nothing on many of them that shows that the Dyno graph and table actually are from the vehicle on the date that the Dyno Cert form is signed. (take a look at Eric's) Also, FYI, nobody needs to get the new Dyno Cert Form signed again because they had to make changes to page 3--just update page 3 calculations, and update the dyno table with all of the 250 RPM data points circled or highlighted.

John, you also need to add identifiers to your Dyno graph and table. You have your name and the date/time on the Dyno graph, but you are missing vehicle info and dyno operator name. There are no identifiers on the data table. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(take a look at Eric's) I mean, what's stopping someone from downloading a random file, and putting their own info on the graph/table? or editing via Adobe? At least for MidAtlantic, we have an impound dyno. So if youre falsifying your submission, you WILL get caught. Regardless, Im having everyone re-submit their stuff with all the pertinent info on the graph/table. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, the idea is that all of this is supposed to be done at the time of the Dyno, and the Dyno operator is the "witness". Ultimately, if there is a Dyno at the event, that rules the day.

Ultimately, if there is a Dyno at the event, that rules the day. But, if there isn't.... Greg, I went through the trouble of getting my car dyno'd 3x this past weekend. 1x paid, 2x for compliance (qualy and race on the same day!). If I upload the data points, be sure it's mine. I'm not paying to give my dyno data to anyone and then risk not being compliant myself. Any scribble put there doesn't make it more or less legit it's mine. The fact that there were 10 witnesses and everyone was ok with the results count a lot more. If you're doubting the legitimacy of our uploads, then I recommend the whole process needs to be re-evaluated to have the Dyno operators upload the information themselves and bypass the drivers. Or how about having video uploads of the car on the dyno and the runs/file names on the video? A more fundamental question in my view is: why are we doing PAPER stuff in 2022 still? Why not request the electronic files and then process that data. At that point you can do all the analytics in the world and catch the outliers. No 2 dyno runs are the same - auto generated sequential runs are the majority of how these files are created. Easy to pick max HP from those... auto select 50rpm increments from an excel file. Let's work smart, not hard. The paper work identifiers being asked isn't really identifying anything. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daytonars4 Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 Not really sure how writing our names on additional sheets of paper prevents a cheater from changing their tune in the paddock. But sure. I’ll go in and do that…. More importantly … Do we have an established discipline policy? I think these new street tire mods are going to lead to more cheating than we’ve seen in the past. Very easy for guys to claim Toyo running big power in TT and then try to sneak out for 1 of their sessions with Hoosiers on. It practically becomes a babysitting exercise every session. So when one of these guys gets caught, what is the plan? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racerwong Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 Besides the whole "possible cheating" prevention, I just want to make sure we are all compliant so we arent at the mercy of : a) internet warriors who arent even at the event b) borderline unsportsmanlike technical protests from people who are at the event. Maybe part of the upload process is a certified stattement w/ penalty of perjury . We should at least be able to digitally sign each page that is uploaded? Is there an easy way to watermark each page with a racer's information? Maybe a Roman question Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidfarmer Posted March 24, 2022 Author Share Posted March 24, 2022 (edited) when I was dyno'ing cars, I would actually rename the DRF file to the competitors' name/class/car number. The weather etc shows up automatically on my dynojet. That at least makes the dyno CHART difficult to fake. I didn't bother with the 50rpm readout, although the rules say it must be done and I've yet to see it done NASA-SE always has bad submissions also, but most competitors have given up on ST and just run SU/TTU.

Very easy for guys to claim Toyo running big power in TT and then try to sneak out for 1 of their sessions with Hoosiers on. It practically becomes a babysitting exercise every session. So when one of these guys gets caught, what is the plan? First, if I catch someone doing what you stated, I would expel them from further TT1-6 competition. It’s not like this is new this year in terms of being able to try that—have had the tore Mod Factors for years. In regard to the Dyno info, there is a difference between someone who cheats and changes power configuration at the track and someone who “thinks” or “knows” their car is ok on power and decides not to get a precompetition Dyno and use an old one, one from the Internet, borrowed from someone, for whatever reason they don’t want to Dyno (lazy, cost, time) Especially when there won’t be a Dyno available at the track, drivers should know that their competitors have actually tested their cars and they were proved to be legal—at least at that time. At least there is a difference in many drivers minds. But, you are correct that both are forms of non-compliance that should be penalized Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
