Re: TCRA at Buttonwillow (yoshi234)
get out your rain tires!
too bad glen...i hope you can find one in time...
looks like we will have a contract soon enough..
the federal mediator found that the PMA has fabricated the slowdown and had a massavie PR campaign to get the country against us...

Good for you, F1. Rain is the best way to sharpen your driving skills.
Me, I'm now worried about the fact my car has no working wiper, the intake lets water directly hit the air filter, and I have to keep the car well covered between runs or else the seat will get wet.

Re: TCRA at Buttonwillow (GhettoRacer)
I don't know for sure, it varies depending on how crowded the weekend is. Nominally, you get 3 25 minute sessions for practice and the qualifying race on Saturday. On Sunday you get at least 2 practice sessions and then the main race. I forgot if they have a third practice or not, but I would guess not because they hold time trials.
Most people who are in the race group don't look for maximum track time, because many of them run expensive race gas and also save their cars for the main race. Race cars are remarkably unreliable.

Re: TCRA at Buttonwillow (Raymund)
awesome event...GLEN (gansan) kicked some major ***!
congrats on the win! everyone else did good too...
including myself...even though had some minor contact on saturday which upset my alignment...and a smashed header (thanks to the BOTA campground who let me borrow there DC) i was able to grid 4th
after a good start by everyone i had a firm lock on fifth until the bmw's brake strated to fail and allowed me to get by him...wohoo...fourth place...just need to make a few more laps and i get first in my class....
then my car just quit....turns out i blew an EFI fuse...well...i learned lots...cant wait till next race...
and now for your viewing pleasure..
