Ricky, Robert, and I were there in the Duff car. It went pretty well until the fuel rail fell off. We were also destroying tires, chunks of tread were coming off of them, which led us to go in to tire conservation mode on Sunday. A couple of teams told me that having Tire Rack heat cycle the tires would help with this, and we may up our pressure from 28 cold since it was happening at the outside edge.

So how did everyone do? I saw that Lee Ho Fook had clutch problems, and Duff beer couldn't keep tires on the car. But, I haven't heard much from anyone else.

Yep.

Grim Reaper was about a half lap ahead of us in 4th. The Silver Bullets broke Saturday afternoon. Duff Beer was 21st.

Yeah, the RS3's were my "chumpcar experiment" -- I never intended to keep using them, being 195's. (they're more tolerant of my dumb driving, good wet and dry handling, etc. But the cheese grater pavement at CMP is too much for 'em.) They are a softer sidewall, so we may need to "reformulate" our standard air pressures. The rock-hard, million year old RE11A's handled just fine for my Sunday morning run; apparently used none of the mm's of tread that was on them. I was following the gremlin most of that session as a means of pacing (save gas -- 2hrs is near the limit , and tires); and it worked... I was aiming for 2:12's, and averaged ~2:14 and lost nothing doing that. Saturday I was aiming for 2:10 and mostly maintained that (a few 2:08s) with little attention on the Solo.

Charles was there as well in the Shark Bate team. They weren't running well at all. As he lamented, he was passed by Austin Powerless!

This was the first time I've seen Lemons use the Red Flag. We were fueling the car when everything got quiet. Looked up to see the Nash sideways just after the kink, with the driver out and the emergency crews making a beeline for it.

Having their brake light stuck in the on position was annoying to boot.

Our driver reported that everyone seemed to handle the red flag appropriately, which is surprising because during during our HPDE RF drills it hasn't gone as well as it should have.

Also I can't believe they didn't park the NSF guys after they flipped their damn car.

So was the Bumble Bee car -- a result of the crash with the Retro Racing Super Beetle. I never noticed the brake light on shark bate. (As Charles will confirm, I was only in range of it for a few seconds. :twisted: )

We probably either have the clutch disc in backwards or our flywheel is glazed somehow. It won't withstand any aggressive shifting whatsoever. Although that might not be such a bad thing. :stick:
