I’m in agreement with closing loopholes in the rules as we come across them. But to a certain extent, aren’t all the engine loophole issues irrelevant once the HP/TQ limits are created? Spending tons of money to make every last possible amount of power doesn’t make sense if you aren’t allowed to have an engine with that much power to begin with.

AAAAHAHAHAHAH!!! You mean when the secret statistician develops sophisicated measureable, repeatable, reliable limits?!?! We’ll be better off with one of these:

I think you’re onto something. If we get 2 treadmills, maybe we can find a way to test HP/TQ and diff lockup at the same time. :laugh:

I’m honestly just optimistic that the potential rules/enforcement will work in practice, if they don’t then that’s when I’ll be concerned. For myself I just don’t see any point in stressing about something that might work out just fine. Only way to find out is to give it a try.

Yes, that is why I showed up this year, driving my car to the track with its 128/131hp motor. that is not for everyone and it would not take much of a checkbook to beat me…but the car did run as high as 3rd in a couple of races and it won a 3 hour…

I got to see Penske’s DP car at VIR this week, looks like he is gonna roll on those guys too.

Maybe we could use a stairmaster to test shocks.

Thanks for all your input guys.

Didn’t mean to get anybody fired up about this… (I’m new to participating in forums)

I just can’t wait to get the damn car finished and get out there and race…

All,
Please see the post about the rocker rule in the Announcements sub-forum.
thanks

Now that the rocker issue is cleared up, where is the best place to buy replacement rockers? And, after reading around the interwebs a bit, I’ve noticed some people have stated a slight variation in the mold the replacements are cast in. IE, shallower groove in the fork. Also, the quality of the casts is questioned. So, does anyone have a manufacturer (Febi?) and a SpecE30 sponsor they can suggest?

Look down below this post for the advertising banners.

I know who the suppliers are, just wondering if there is a difference in parts carried by each. I’ve heard there is a variation in some of the Febi parts that causes premature failures (pitting specifically).
