Can someone please post a list of each car in the race, their engine builder, and the correct year of the car

 

MMMkay, I'll get right on that.

 

It does appear top 5 are VVT cars. (maybe I can get a deal on one of those obsolete '99s)

Congratulations to Mark, great drive. You put in the work all year and you deserve it! You will represent the class well! Also congratulations to Andrew and Brian on the podium, kyle for such a young guy he did a hell of a job. Congrats also to Tyler and Craig. Congratulations to Dan Tiley for a podium sweep under the hood.

In my case, neither car or driver was very good today. Car was never very good, never really bad.. Just a bit of a handful all the way through.
I had contact with Joey in turn 2, I hate that he couldn't finish his race.. Rather than ride around in p7-10, I just pulled in when I saw Joey was beached and couldn't continue.

There are 9 cars under protest.. All are in tech, heads coming off all nine cars. I think I will be changing my flight plans.

Congrats to Drennan, Carbonell, and Ghidinelli!  :clap: That Carbonell-Ghidinelli-Kaiser battle was great to watch! 
 
Well done to everyone. No yellows, how about that?
 
Disappointed to see the retirements of Hayes, Jordan, and Drago.

Mike Collins attempted a lame counter protest on Schrader for "not racing the car as qualified". Baseless, stupid waste of time.

Ken your facts are a little skewed but don't let those get in the way of a good story. The protest was the exact same he wrote verbatim. The way to get it accepted after the timeline was to challenge the configuration of the car. Will was there when we had the conversation and he offered to take his car apart for the same bond and I said OK... Then he declined.

Who built the engine in the car that filed the protest on the 9 cars?

Then he declined.

 

Meaning he declined to do it on the same bond?  Or declined something else?

Great video coverage for an amateur event. I especially enjoyed the corkscrew camera shots. There were

several "this is not going to end well" moments with passing there, which ended impressively well. 

 

At least for the battles shown over the video feed, the racing looked aggressive but respectful.

 

I was curious to see which car Mark was going to drive. The 1.8 he has been driving (95?), I believe,

won a runoffs a few years back (also a Jason Hoover car). Would that have been the first

repeat winning car in SM?

I'm just trying to follow your thought process on this one.  The guy who group protested 9 cars was protested.  You think that Mike protesting Schrader was a baseless waste of time.  How do you feel about Schrader's group protest?  What is it based on?

Those Oregon boys have a funny way of thinking sometimes.  I like them, but they get all aggressive when they are under the microscope...  Maybe all the rain up there has pent-up all their anger.

 

I mean shit, If I protested nine cars I'd sure as hell be expecting one fired back at me.  I'd probably just take my car to tech and start tearing down on my own just to show I'm legit - but that's just me.

 

So what was the outcome of Mikes protest on Schrader?  I'm getting random txt's but not sure what to believe.  Someone on the ground needs to chime in here in public.

Nothing came of the protest on Schrader because it wasn't legit. Schrader has been in his pit for 3 hours - released without penalty.

This Runoffs 9 folks protest reading isn't quite as good as the FL flap. The FL players are steering clear at this point. Who was the power man ($$$) behind Will Schrader protest?

Was a great race to watch. The battle for 2nd was clean and was an incredible show. Congrats to Drennan. That guy can wheel a car, and has worked so hard this season to be up front.

Also want to thank the SM drivers who have helped us this weekend, loaning us some tools so we could tech our car as we're paddocked in T5.

I think your first post (above) kinda answers the question.

 

Why was Mikes counter-protest 'lame', 'not legit' or found not to valid?  The way it was worded, no bond, or ran out of time ???  Answer us that?

 

I just don't understand why Schrader didn't tear down on his own and not worry about the validity of Mike's protest.   Hell, I would have just in the spirit of some of the 'compression-gate' posts one of your fellow Oregon racers said (Sean), and I'm paraphrasing "now, lets go find the bad motors'.  I don't get it.
