You two should get a room. As far as I know you’ve never hung out together, but I know you both pretty well. You’d be immediate buddies.

Ranger, where have you been?

I’ve known Badder since 2004 when he was racing his eta car around Roebling Road at a BMWCCA event. He’s forgotten more than I know.

Robert, you’ve known me long enough to spell my name correctly:laugh:

You are correct and I swear I corrected it under the “edit” screen and then hit send.
Old guys…geez, can’t trust 'em to get anything right.

Post some more videos pls. I need to see the races from other perspectives so I can write the Speednews article. The important thing is good action, not finish order.

Remember hearing about needing a fuel test port but don’t remember outcome. Do we need one for nationals? Also are we REQUIRED to dyno or is it just at the request of officials?

[Ranger]

There is no language in the Supps or anywhere else I’ve found that directs us to install a fuel test port.

There is no requirement to dyno, at least that’s the current truth. I would expect, however, that many cars will be pulled from impound to dyno over the course of the 3 days.

May as well confirm where fuel may be sourced while you are at it. That too was restricted.

I hear you but if the guidance isn’t formally disseminated, then it’s not guidance. The info re. fuel isn’t in the Supps nor is it in the applicable NASA subforum. Therefore imo the current truth is that fuel isn’t controlled in any way.

The truth could change tomorrow, for all I know.

Re checking with Carter. Carter, Andrew and I have been coordinating issues almost daily for a couple months now.

Sweet. Jet fuel it is.
