Chris and Chris, thanks for all you guys do to keep us out of trouble and on the track. We wouldn't be doing this without you.

So, just to make you work a little harder, could you add some clarification to the following:

PRC#6 Modify the current penalty for Bracket Racing Breakout
Modify the current rule of a lap faster than the posted break out time
will be disallowed and not counted to:
Driver who breaks out one lap in a race will be penalized one lap and on the second offense in the same race will be disqualified from that event.

Looks to me that a breakout in qualifying has not changed. If I read this correctly, if I breakout one lap in the heat race, I pretty much start at the rear for the feature; then breakout another lap in the same race, I don't get to run the feature at all? If it happens in the feature, I am basically DQ'ed. The only difference I see from the existing rule is that I may not get to run in the feature race at all. Is that correct?

[lane]

Its my understanding if you break out twice in the heat race you will be dq'ed but will be able to run the feature race starting at the back. Now if you break out twice in the feature you will be dq'ed and finish with no points. The difference being when you broke out, no matter how many times, in the feature you finished last recieving last place points. So if there's only 4 people in class you would recieve 4th place points but now no points.
That's my understanding.

[chris]

Gary, You will always be able to run, however, if you break out more than once in any of the events during the day ( heat or feature) you will not receive points or position for the event. Qualifying penalties have not changed.
Hope this clears things up

Points phooey......,

I just want a car that's 1.22 capable so I can start from the back every time and ruin competitive races of all the low life 1.26 racers as I barge my way to the front.

Then I can even spin a few times and repeat the whole process just as the people who I have forced off line are recovering the ground to the car they were racing with.

Muh ha ha ha ha ha ha........ ;D

Put my engine in your 318ti and run 1:20.xxx.

Uh Andy....., as serious as a heart attack, if you want to collaborate on this 318ti project, I'll happily donate the chassis to the cause.

Personally, I'd rather try my hand at squeezing the same power from the 1.9 DOHC engine........reliably, that the mechanical and technically un-gifted have to fork over $7500 for.

Cubes isn't king.....it's cheating...

Either way....., I have the chassis, the tubing bender and some other things to contribute.

I even have a stall to stable the car in.

You have the drive train and possibly some other stuff.

I can even swing $$ towards the project.

What I don't have is the extra time.

Let's do the thing up on halves and you can drive it and you and Russ even have a platform to test and demo some of y'all products.

Results can only further y'all venture.

With your mechanical ability and schedule I can't see this getting stalled like my 944T.

Maybe after this thing is up and running, maybe you and Russ could help me time-wise to wrap up the 944T as the platform for the Porsche side of your product line.

Now....back on topic......, yes, I'm the ONE vote on the SPEC tire rule vote.

Not that I was giddy about the wording, because the intent of the argument pre-vote was for BRACKET classes ONLY but I kinda felt obligated to vote yes anyway... ;D
