Any updates?

Good luck to everyone in the NW!

 

Im watching www.1320go.com for the live timing feed. But so far nothing is happening. So not sure if its working lol.

 

You didn't make the trip? We are actually in your neck of the woods at the div6 race in Spokane, but I know the weather back home is fairly fast as long as the rain holds off. Hoping to hear of a 7 sec pass

 

Q1

8.22@183 Competition Clutch Civic
10.1@131 Avid all motor Civic
Vibrant car didn't make a hit

From SpeedFactory Facebook.

 

Hate I couldn't make the trip. In for more updates............

 

heard its raining...

 

I would have been pissed coming from so cal....I made the trip to AZ and got rained out.

Hope they can finish the event....

 

"2nd qualifying pass in FWD Cole runs 8.94@170mph"- Speed Factory/Vibrant car

 

yeah no doubt...they got a break from the rain and are back at it again...hopefully they can finish the event before the rain returns!

 

Cole won FWD with a 8.89@174 I heard.

 

I heard Reid redlit in the finals, but James went 8.28@184 anyway for the win.

 

How many cars in fip

 

7 initially in FIP
2 in AMP which got combined with FIS, and Sipes was #1 qual over the turbo guys. FIS/AMP was a full 16 car field and im not sure how many didnt make the cut.
2 in fwd
11 in AMS I believe
and bracket and TT had decent numbers. But considering how bad the.weather had been recently and how.it started and was forcast, im glad the event was finished, and I think not a single oil down today.

 

Shannon Hamlin @ Badway Auto wins FIS with 10.29 @ 142, 10.18 best run of the day. new PB all around

Cole Marmon wins SFWD with 8.89 @ 174 new PB all over.

James Kempf wins FIP with 8.28 @ 184.5, 8.22 best of the day first hit out. also replaced the trans before the finals with Reid.

Reid had troubles all day, first the starter died (thanks James @ SF) and then breaking up next round. ran a best of 8.94 @ 168 today in rnd 3 qual, and was in the finals with James and red lighted.

i got tons of video processing, but here is what James @ SF looks like going 8.22 from the big end of the track.

 

Hopefully we wil have better weather and bigger turn out next go round. Thank you to everyone who came out.

 

And hopefully tech won't be such a joke

 

What are you talking about? Safety or class rules?

 

Both actually. Tech should take longer than 30 seconds.he never looked at the date on my harness or checked my battery kill since its relocated. I may not have the fastest car in my class but im serious about racing and 100% compliant of track and class rules.i saw cars running to fast without a helmet, some missing passenger seat/rear seat in AMS and when i brought it to the 4 tech's attention they blew me off.im sure this rant will **** some people off or come off as me whining but these rules are for our safety. next time i wont bring it to the techs attention and ill find ifo staff

 

other than that i had a blast and cant wait for the next event. thanks for putting it on

 

Yes, ask for Cliff if you have any problems, esp if someone is not within the class rules.

 

+1 Cliff will get something straightened out if it has to do with rules and safety!!!

 

Had a great time despite the weather and being eliminated by breaking an axle at the line... Fixed it and still managed a new personal best for the weekend in the test-n-tune lane. We'll see everyone in Washington next week!

 

Big end videos of turbo cars is always awesome to watch! Congrats to all the winners

Ya, I was not aware of any AMS cars with no passenger seats. When I classed them they were legal. I will try to pay more attention during elims to see if they are removing parts after tech.
