It's a social experiment to show that all spec miata drivers can be captivated by a single dot. Seems to be working..

You are there, right?

 

Where could the drama be coming from?

 

I'm sure the best drama will be reserved for post race.  

 

Bent Hood - you are DQ because I said so.

quick personal thoughts. Really starting to like the track, although constantly chasing set up in our tent. The TFB boys really have there cars dialed in......it has been very impressive to watch how well the cars handle. Drennan is putting on a show!, watched him during STL qualifier go thru the Cork and half of 9....the car is on rails and he hit the same spot every lap.
Hope we GUESS right tomorrow. Good Luck to all!

No aluminum in the bowl area (other than that specified for the plunge cut) or the ports may be removed, added, or manipulated for any reason. It is understood that heads may look slightly different from bowl to bowl due to casting irregularities. No material may be removed or added from the short turn radius in the port.

Will Schraders name is on the protest but it is a group of people for sure.

As was done on the East coast...by another group(pretty sure)...another effort here to try and clean up what many feel has been going on for to long. Anybody who reads here was given fair warning if they were paying attention. Not directed at one person or group it looks like as it was written to be top 10.

Those who stood up and applauded Cliff Browns effort should be doing the same here. I applaud those willing to put there money were their mouth is. I hear they are taking donations :)

As a little team owner( meathead said I was!)it would be nice to know all of the top guys in the country(this week)are playing by the rules!

I am all good if this a move to rane in cheating...

I don't understand what is being looked at? Porting in the valve area? Is that what is meant by removing casting material?

Will obviously has the balls which is what it takes to make a move like this. I certainly aplaud him for having the balls to do what he feels is the right thing.

One other question does this mean will has protested but he p9 driver? Himself??? If so that is a smart move.

Its really tough not being there and fully involved this year. Without calling and confirming, I can only guess that engines will be sealed and checked after the race. Cannot imagine that they will tear down 10 engines before the race. Can someone on the ground please fill in the gaps?

Loving the Race Hero App watching the approach to qualifying,

some go at it, consistently clicking off fast laps all within a few tenths of each other, others put in a flyer, cool their tires, and then go for another flyer. Different strokes. 

 

My top 8 picks include 

 

Drennan, Carbonnel, Hayes, Ghidinelli, Drago, Kaiser, Berry, Drennan (oops I mean Jordan)

 

  1. Drennan is on top of his game, has worked towards this one race with obsession, no stone left unturned
  2. If Carbonnel is there at the end, he will be tough to hold back, he is just relentless and will stick the nose in wherever he can. He was just relentless at Conti Cup at Petite two weeks ago
  3. Have never met Charlie but I hear he is fast and consistent
  4. Kinda like Brian's consistency. Not sure if he is tough enough to win this one, but he should be a contender
  5. Also have never met Will but have heard good things about him
  6. Drago is always in the hunt
  7. Berry is fast, consistent and should be a player
  8. I am Joey's biggest fan. Would love to see him on the podium. Not sure if he can pull it off in this field

Have no idea how it will play out in the tech shed

That's not good.  Sounds like lots of room for a  Bent Hood ruling.
