Might as well get used to the classes now. I think my cars are legal for whatever class they run in judging by my results. Or I can't cheat worth beans...

Happy 4th Mitch.
We're settling for outside lights in 4th of July trim. Should be festive.

That is correct. As it turns out we have conflicts on each of those dates. We'll be back to racing here in October I believe. Hope to see you all here then.

Re: Saturday Series Tire Cleaning (13 replies, posted in NASTE)
My intention was to let the result stand unless I heard a complaint. In my opinion I did.

Re: Saturday Series Tire Cleaning (13 replies, posted in NASTE)
Yes, I apologize, this must be all my fault.
I should have stopped the race at Howie's as soon as the problem became apparent and dealt with it. We should have cleaned tires at every heat.
Things need to be fair or at least perceived as fair. And I'm not the only one that thought there was an issue watching their lap totals plummet as the tires on some of the cars became glazed. And not all the cars, just some. Rotation order had little to do with it. It was not gradual, it was not consistent. Once they glazed, that was it. That's not racing and not what this series was supposed to be about.
We can debate complaint vs. opinion some other time.
But just to refresh here's your opinion that got the race thrown out completely:
Maybe we should throw out the results of the second race entirely since we didn't count one lane and somebody cleaned their tires before a heat which was a no-no.
No-no? Must be some unwritten law.

Re: Saturday Series Tire Cleaning (13 replies, posted in NASTE)
To not have a rule in place to install a certain fairness for all makes little sense. I doubt having clean tires at each run will reduce any drivers fun.

Topic: Saturday Series Tire Cleaning (13 replies, posted in NASTE)
After the last race at Howie's it's pretty clear to me that something needs to be done about the tire cleaning situation.
Since Victoria and I seem to be in charge of this part of the NASTE program I'm going to make one right here.
TIRE CLEANING RULE FOR IROC RACES:
You are allowed to clean your tires at any time.
It would be good for the race host to either clean ALL rear tires prior to each heat or at the minimum provide materials/time for contestants to prepare their car.
No longer will there be any reason to castigate a racer for trying to get as good a run as the racer that had the clean tires in the first place.
