Just remember your only 2 weeks into the first season.

I sure they realize the power of the internet and the need to have live on-line updates.

Also we need to remember they will need to pay someone to do that.

All it takes is money, and you know where the money comes from.

I was going to email Glenn and ask him if that's in there plans but i haven't had time to find as email on here.

I did not get DQ's. I redlit against the red CFT civic, right after the White CFT eclipse beat van natten. I was very surpised to see van natten in the lanes for second qualifier. If it is what they say (did not scale). It's BS. It was a weird setup. Some cars were scaling before the runs and some after. There was noone at the scales before 1st round (I drove through). I was pretty sure that if a car passed the scales, both cars were DQ'd. Upon reading the rule book, it only states that if you ran faster than previous runs, it was mandatory. I don't know the whole story, but I feel for CFT right now.

In the results it doesnt say Kevin went red. I am so confused!

To weigh the cars before the event makes no sense to me. Its stupid.

Why was Brian allowed to race if he first went red and passed the scales just like CFT did? I am still so confused!

I didn't continue to race. I got sent packing by CFT and loaded the car up. Van Natten lost first round too, I do not know why he was allowed to continue. I'm sure someone can step in an give us the full story.

While I agree that weighing before makes no sense, you had to be at the track to understand. The pro cars were on one side of the track while sportsman were on the other. The scales were on the pro side of the track before you got to the starting "area". "area" because there werent lanes on that side of the track. So they basically passed the scales on the way to the starting line and since sportsman were on the opposite side of the track, they basically passed the scales after the run to go back to pits. I may have confused you more but it made sense because of the lay out of Moroso haha

We walked passed the Nopi trailer when all the CFT guys were there talking to Nopi staff and then all of a sudden Van Etten was in second round. Not real sure exactly what happen though.

Both Migrana and I raced 1st round of eliminations. I got a bye and Migrana beat the black evo... I happened to be on return road with migrana when we realized there was no one at fuel.... so we passed where fuel should be and went to the scales where they informed us that we needed to check fuel 1st. We got back in the car, passed our pits for the 2nd time, and went to fuel...went all the way to the end of return road(1/2 mile from scales) and still no fuel no tech guy/tent/table/sign etc. We turned the cars off and waited... Approximately 5 minutes later the fuel guy comes and checks fuel... we then went back to scales (1/2 mile back and passed my pits for the 3rd time) to scales then went back to the pits... overall 20 minutes spent..... as soon as i get back im guessing 30 minutes pass and we hear 1st call for Turbo Street, 5 minutes later, 2nd call for TS and maybe 3 minutes later "Final call for TS"....


I can type suggestions "not complaints" for a little longer but ill just get back to work now....

Must have been in the old day's, I was thinking of.

Thanks,

They must weigh some type of race cars there. How do they do it for other events ?

May be they only weigh the Pro type cars?

Do you understand what I'm trying to say? This is not the first event this track has held,
