Re: MSA TORA ISCC America Round 6 Sedona Speedway Full Course - 28th October 2012

There is a problem with the Sedona pits, if you enter too fast, about 170mph or more, the car may not make a complete pit stop. It slows down but doesn't come to a complete stop, change tires or refuel. Probably should have a rule saying something like:

If you enter the pits too fast you may not make a complete stop (change tires & refuel) and will be required to stop again. Otherwise someone could gain an unfair advantage.

I agree with this!

Just noticed this morning, now that my secondary times on my computer show the UK now moved their clocks back One hour, means that if its 8pm GMT there, it'll be 4pm EDT for us in the States for tonight's race. So, for this week, the US is only 4hrs behind rather than the normal 5hrs.

In...
So the UK is back to GMT from BST or am I mistaken? Rollin, you live on the east coast correct? Is so it would be 1pm pst, 2pm mst, 3pm est? anyone? We need an atomic clock.

I noticed that problem, as well. In my Target Lola, if I run a lot of downforce, and can turn hard left after the last corner, then slam on the brakes, I can make it.

What I'd recommend: Practice pit entry and exit!

California changes back on the 4th of November, so will it be just this one race that starts one hour later for us?

by Wooflers Sun 28 Oct 2012 - 13:20

Well as I post it's 1:20pm IN the UK
