Not Ranked
To answer a few questions; Dennis was using Goodyear Eagle tires on standard 15" Trigo wheels (as comes on a SPF) The "race tires" were not, they were Hoosier Street TDs on the same type and size wheels. As far as the times are concerned, ALL the times are only a "guesstimate, at best, since they were all taken with a hand held stop watch. Also, they were NOT held by the same hands for each driver or car. Thus, since this was a "test & tune" event, the times are only secdondary and for "personal comparisons".
Even though this is true, I would like very much, as would most others, as we discussed it later, to see accurate times. This is important when you are still setting up your car suspension; tire pressures; shift points; breaking points, etc. Without fairly accurate times, you really do not know wheather or not the changes you make are good or bad!
Joe, thanks for running this one for us! You knmow I'll be there EVERY time to run. My trailer goes 375 miles to get there, but, it has gone 1000 miles before (each way). Dennis came the farthest this time.
I would like to thank Dennis for his participation and his assistance. I was also glad to see our Louisiana Area Rep there! Doug Reed came to watch (he had to deliver a car in thew area). Doug, we would be glad to have you bring one of your "race cars" any time too. Doug has at least two very hot SPF race prepared cars and has done very well at Run 'n Gun a couple of times as well as "One Lap America" shoot-outs. Doug is going to look into us running at "No Problem Raceway" near Baton Rouge.
