That team would be more stacked than Linda Vaughn...

[Noose]

I had drivers all grouped into A,B,C based on ability and results from prior races, etc.

I made slips up and folded them and you could not see the name.

Each group, starting with A, was put into my hat, held high, and Jay picked the names one by one.

The groups came out well balanced and I will post them as soon as I hear back from 1 racer.

Updated poster to include the OS Logo. Also some clarifications on the rules.

You must start with the tires issued and you cannot make any modifications to the chassis.

[W. J. Dougherty]

Any way Jay can take your poster and make it a T-Shirt as well?? Place the poster on the front and the 8 teams on the back... 1st Annual Petit, right...

May be in the "too hard to do" category. Besides, 32 shirts may be too small a number to make it worthwhile. Also, the race is approx 1 month away so that could also be a vote against.

Just an idea...

[Noose]

T-Shirts are an idea. Working on it.

[W. J. Dougherty]

I just wanted to make a request to extend car assembly time
from 8:00 to 7:30?
Since tech is at 9:30
2 hrs is a better time frame to prep a car.
Can we track test the cars on the track during this time?

[Noose]

You can test the car as soon as they are ready. I am going to have the bodies ready to go and maybe even ave them all mounted since the frames are all the same. As for starting earlier, no because some guys have a long trip in. Heck, Mike Katz can whip together a car in 15 minutes. Saw him do it at Retro Palooza.

[W. J. Dougherty]

For those of driving in can we use the 90 minutes to practice with another car??

[Noose]

Sure Bill.

[twistafatty]

Noose,I'll donate the hot dogs and rolls for the bbq.

Are the chassis that Tony is working on a state secret or can we know ahead of time what they are or can we see pictures??

Is it a roller or in what condition are going to receive the chassis??

Thanks,

Thanks,

Pictures will be posted when he is done. As I already stated, each team will get the frame with the ball bearings and the front tires installed. ALL OF THE FRAMES ARE EXACTLY ALIKE.

You cannot modify the frame in any way.

They are torsion Warmack types.

[Ron Hershman]

its a warmack torsion car.

Do you mean "oh young one" LOL Tony P is building "torsion" cars using Warmack Kits???

[Noose]

Yup. Double extra strength

[tonyp]

If you knock the pan off in the race is that considered modifying the chassis?

[Ron Hershman]

That would be considered..... "lengthy pit stop" LOL

[tonyp]

I am building each chassis with a different cold solder joint. Each should have a failure around the 4 hour mark from vibration, sort of like the tails of the airliners in the Jimmy Stewart movie, "No Highway in the Sky". This will throw chassis repairs into the mix. lol...
