Very little coming out info wise...any significant tech up till now?

 

 

It has been quiet here and on social media.  For most all classes.  I can only assume that the racers are enjoying each other's company, feasting on Long's donuts, tenderloins and late night trips to the Taco Bell on 16th.

I can assure that there is no race series where a driver who does not make the A main during regular qualifying and has to run a b or less main can move up the grid beyond any driver who LOCKS in a qualifying position. Makes no sense to think you could do so.

Agree,

 

so what are the impressions of the track, easy, tight, How important is the draft Is 3 drafting better than 2?

 

Tech? You guys are not sharing??

You haven't watched Sprint car or midget racing,have you? There have been more than a few times a racer came through the C and B mains to make the big show to win at the Chili Bowl or Eldora. I truly believe in water seeking it's own level, but you really can never say never..............There is not that much disparity in times( 2 seconds over much of the field), so really, anything can happen. If the bottom of the field is 3 to 6 seconds off, then yes, don't waste the fuel and tires........

No disrespect...Has our pole sitter ever done or knows how to do a start ??

Willie will be just fine.  He is in the sunset of his racing career but he knows how to lead a group to the line.  Hope he wins the B race!

[MPR22]

So the things I want to know.  

 

Will Two Time pull his head out and move up the grid?

How does Mr. SMG Pro feel about his chances from P 21 if he doesn't improve?

Who is B. Clark Cambern?  Talk about a dark horse.

Clark is a former FF driver. Also a big name behind the World Challenge broadcasts. Heck of a nice and interesting guy too. Find him in the paddock and say hi!

Wish I were there, Harvey took my runoffs glory.  I will be back up and running at the NASA East Champs

[BNaumann]

With speedengineer as my witness I called 58s on Thursday two weeks ago.

[Caveman-kwebb99]

The two pump chump did not get his head out, Super Pro did get his at least half way out to get to P5, Spencer Rutherford has stayed ahead of his coach SM Jesus, I cant wait to hear Little Jimmy say "I'm never going back to Indy"  I bet he wishes he was back at MID OHIO instead lol...

 

Stevie wonder Powers is in a battle with his team mate Dean Busk for the battle of fastest man from Arizona!

 

Johhny Davis with the suprise of the week in P6, after the year he has had I'm glad for him, who said having a twisted car isnt fast????

 

Holderman and Pardus have been the class of the field and may walk away with it...

 

What can i say My little thumbs up giving buddy, got to work today to be p3 for the show and I think he has the pace to win!  picked him for a damn good reason!

 

 

 

John Davidson OMG is ahead of the two pump chump in the Show, can he keep it on track and finally show Jimmy who is the better driver?????  Only time will tell, the success will likely go to his head, not sure he will be able to fit under the Auto techniques tent tonight!!!  

 

Now on to the show everyone been waiting for the LAST CHANCE RACE!  Hope it stays green so these guys get the race they deserve!!!!

[Ron Alan]

WOW....some excited drivers and some very sore necks! If Q4 holds up this year had some surprises!

 

Danny and Tyler took breaths so deep after Q4 Irma would have patted them on the back! 

 

Paul Holton and Spencer R made nice moves up!

 

Danica has officially pied herself and just installed 4 more mirrors in her car.

 

Bolanos, Hille, Drago, Burdzy are in unfamiliar territory!

 

Come on guys...post up some info!!

You should ask spencer and Holton how they got there! That's my excuse for the week ... I push Holton and spencer to P12 and P13 and I get 23rd somehow lol

What Jim is saying is that anyone in an LCQ or lower main can't bump someone or grid higher than someone that's already locked into the A main.  He's not saying they can't win just they can't bump or out grid someone out that's already made it.

[Tom Sager]

While the ultimate praise has to be saved for tomorrow, It's not too soon to recognize what Chris Haldeman has done this week, getting on top and staying there.  Much like what Justin Hille did last year.  Impressive. 

[John Wilding]

What time does the LCQ race start? Are these races going to be broadcasted live on SCCA's website?

 

Thanks!

[Johnny D]

Here's the schedule, no times though. they're currently on F5

https://www.scca.com...unoffs-schedule

 

Here's T&S, audio and they currently have turn one video.

https://www.scca.com...sessions/latest

 

They also have a live chat on the right.

If everyone asks for all camera's maybe will get it.

Maybe somebody call John Doonan and see if can pull some strings.
