I'm with you but then you have the goldilocks special tech were nobody's happy, right ??
 
I thought it was a clean race, laps times were in reason, then you get into better check something, which may lead to total anal cavity search, so....
 
If you don't see anything out of "spec/possibity" lap time, do you really need to go there?? some do. Were the cages a smoking gun or the driver ?
 
Then again if it was, I don't care how you get there (to a spec/number) but you can't execede, were would be be ?? bracket racing.
Watch, look, check and your good to go. old, new, reman, RP or not, whatever and your good, throw a ton of rules out the door and reduce tech to minimal amounts.
 
Cheat whatever you want, just don't go over. Build your tired engine up, Hey that sounds like a drivers class.
 
You don't really have a spec class. You have racers that can afford a top prep car $$$$ and all the way down to a junkyard engine on a limited budget in the rear that is far from par.
 
IDK, it late.
 
In the morning I think I'll need to spend alot of money to compete.

Johnny-
 

Maybe its just me...but it sure would help if you would complete one of your thoughts (or at least commit the entire thing to paper), instead of the half-fragments that just leave me wondering what the f*ck your trying to get at. 

 

ETA: The real problem is that I don't know what to argue with or agree with.

It's OK, Johnny is not really Johnny, Johnny is the ghost writer for Von Charb.

I considered making that exact same accusation.

 

But at least with Charbs, there is no question about his sanity (he ain't got none).

I still think you took over his body, or his account.

Somebody should tell Mazda to cancel that restock order and prepare for a pile of returns.

Johnny,

 

I'm not saying no tech. Tech is a good and necessary thing. I'm saying end the 'gotcha' tech that seems to dominate some of the big races these days and determine the outcome in the tech shed and not on the track. Tech should focus on items that are non-subjective and provide a performance advantage. Both racers and officials should be clear what the requirements for compliance are. Prioritize and penalize accordingly. If a DQ is going to be given it should not be handed out for a subjective tech item like this, the reason for non-compliance had better be beyond question. I'd also like to see some tech resources used to go deeper in the field rather than the heavy focus on the top 3-5. The guy racing for 20th deserves just as much of a fair race as the guy racing for the podium. Lastly, the tech process needs to be completed the day or weekend of the event. Letting the results twist in the wind for weeks does nobody any good and is unfair.

 

This post is off topic. I apologize. Now - off to get some popcorn.

You mean like compression and fuel?

Naw. Make sure the washer in the top-hats is the right color.

Hey, if I took over his body/driving skills I'd be out there seriously applying pressure to the front of the field.

There is no story, I was spun by Zurek, he was DQ'd.

The story might be in how many other people were spun with no DQ lol. Try to stick to the forum guidelines and increase drama as much as possible.

Not my video but this one shows lots of fun. https://youtu.be/3OCxa8ezXa4?t=171

 

I was happy to start from the back and had no body work to look forward to. LOTS of passing under yellow though all throughout the race.
