I hope that 1.8 turbo 323 that wasn't supposed to be in 2B didn't go through, but I couldn't stick around to see, I had to come home and polish my car and park it up
I bet Kirk that sandbagging bastard won though...

ingalook wrote:Autosport... can the same car be driven in 2 groups with no mods by 2 drivers?
Like say I drive my car in 2B and then give it to a better driver to run in 2A?
Will that mean that I must bump up to 2A since the car is capable (but I'm not as yet?)
Also what would be the registration cost associated with such an arrangement?

2 drivers, 2 numbers
Rawle, i have a host of suggestions. one of those pertains to safety being a priority. the ae86 corolla that almost lost control was heading towards the tents. can we also look at including some sort of barriers between tents and track? i know its an added cost and logistics issue.

Any car, in the right hands is capable of running in practically any class!
The sharing of cars actually happens today. The Locost is driven in 1A by father, and son (nah he not as good as the father) in 1B. And we also saw that with #115, whose original car was deemed too loud, he parked it up, used his friends car who was running in Class 2, #115 ran in his originally entered class 3B, just so he would still be able to compete and earn points. Also Car 111, mother ran in 2B and used by son in 3B when he had a problem with his car.
So we try to be accommodating but still look at being as fair as possible.
Car being used by two drivers will require two entries being submitted and paid for.

Two separate numbers, look at the Locost, 932/08, Darrel Ali 45/43.
We just have to be careful when they come to the line to ensure we know who is driving;
so far we have had the full cooperation of everyone.

ok cool
jus one question, does the line of cars running in front the bleachers obstruct the view of spectators? especially spectators on the lower half. cause when i was waiting in line i felt as tho i was obstructing their view of the action

We really have not had any complaints from the spectators, but they are also glad to see the cars and drivers up close - so one day you might get lucky and have some nice person ask for your autograph!

Checking up on this this car, he should have been in Class 3. Raced last year when the rules were different and put back his old 2B classification - our scrutineers missed this and he will be put into the correct class.
As simply as it may sound,this car probably cost me a qualifying spot hence no points for me!Everyone was saying under the tents,"that car suppose to be in group 3".
Finally,this VW jetta that use to run 54.xx secs consistently is running in 2B. I saw him on his first qualifying run put down a 55.xx.Isn't that a break out?or does that automatically gain you a qualifying spot in the finals?

And if that was brought to our attention immediately, we would have checked and taken action immediately.
In all of the B Classes, we have a breakout time.
For 2B it is 56 seconds. The VW did register a 55.96, and this was NOT considered. All of his other times 57.094, 56.496, 56.928,, 56.406.
Our rule says if you run a breakout time, the time is not counted, and if this is done in the last four shootout, you lose the run.
It was interesting to see in the last four runoff in everyone of the B classes, even though we saw a winner at the lights, we checked the times to ensure that there were no breakouts.
