    Will windshield crack pass tech?

    in SCCA Solo Discussion

    Posted

    You are not allowed to have severe windshield cracks. I personally don't feel 1 Crack is severe but I would suggest getting it replaced as soon as possible. I know the weather changing makes it very easy to get cracks and they never happen at an opportune time. I don't see anything specific about how bad a crack can be before failing tech. Best I can say is bring it and we can evaluate there but ultimately the safety steward has ruling over all.

    Leeann and I wanted to say thank you to everyone that helped clean up the mess on and off the track after her little coolant spill. Also we wanted to say sorry! I promise it was a new hose that just burst! All seems good with the car and should be back together once the replacement hose arrives.

    Class change

    Hey good people. I mistakenly put Leeann in AS ladies class when she started autocross and want to change her to CS ladies. Lance was awesome and changed it for this race but looks like it defaulted back to AS for this upcoming Friday event. Is there something I can do to change it permanently so I don't have to keep bothering the poor guy? Thanks!

    Maybe We Need Large Car Numbers?

    Just a suggestion to keep the radio clear too. As a starter, I felt bad clogging up the Cone calls with having to call out every car number because there aren't any visible numbers on the car. 

    Maybe consider a separate channel between start and timing? 

    The main issue is lax course working. Need to emphasize watching cones, not cars. Even as a starter, I saw many cones get missed... then called in late on the wrong car. Experienced radio folks that aren't afraid to coach the other - possibly less experienced - course workers. 

     

     

     

    This is the first region I've run at with no numbers. No numbers makes it easy for local/casual/new competitors, but it makes it harder for everyone else. Harder to track penalties, harder to track start order. Takes 4 observer slots that could've been 4 additional course workers and/or a dedicated heat safety steward. 

    I also noticed down cones on a couple of my runs that I had to work around. Still had a great time and don't want to "complain" but with all being said it might need to be addressed as course should always be the same for all runs.

    I struggled with fuel starvation on four of my runs. That 200+ degree showcase turn caught up to me when we juked back to right. After my 3rd run I put 2 gallons in and it still did it. I put 6 gallons in after the 4th run and that solved it. I have no idea how much fuel I should run in my s2k but 1/4 tank is too low it appears.

    I fill up the wagon on the way to the track every time just to prevent this. It wasn't meant to feed the big motor though so anything under half take it will starve under hard turns. lol I also like the extra weight in the back.
