Hmm ill be back in buffalo that weekend, but im not sure what day ill be busy…

and id love to run on the track but i wont have my car with me

3

Have you thought about anything re: “you must have X days at Dunnville to participate in the time attack” Josh? It could get messy if someone’s out there trying to learn the track while others are hot-lapping :frowning:

4

ill be there. dunno if ill be tracking the roush tho. the tires are uh not good enough for my liking, especially since itll be the first time tracking a rwd car vs fwd. so ill have to wait and see about driving

5

Only 4 cars will be on the track at a time during the time trials, and anyone who’s totally new has a several hours to learn the track before the competition in the evening. If someone is completely new and we think it’s necessary, we can send them out by themselves (clear track) for the competition, but I doubt we’ll need to do that.

We want to keep this open to EVERYONE regardless of experience or vehicle :tup:

We won’t have a mix of people on track who are competing while others are just lapping. Open lapping in the morning; Time trials in the afternoon.

6

4 cars is probably too many. Lets consider this example: 4 cars on a track where the fastest people will be 1:15-1:20 means spacing them apart 20 seconds a car right (80 seconds divided by 4 cars)? OK, but at the last event there were people in the 1:17 range and people in the 1:27 range (and slower). Meaning in < 2 laps you’re very likely going to have issues with passing, people being held up, not to mention your timing system will go 100% to shit if there IS passing considering its trip-the-beam based not transponders.

Not trying to be critical, but I think worry you’re taking on too much / trying too hard to make this into NASA TT all overnight.

At the very least doing some kind of quick/average lap “qualifying” deal earlier in the day to get an idea of where people stand so you can release cars/people grouped with those running similar times would be wise. And keeping it to 2-3 cars at a time too wouldn’t hurt - at least then at 1:20/lap average you have 26.67 seconds apart or ideally 40 seconds w/ 2 cars. Unless you only plan to do 2-3 laps not 4 (that whole fast-lap-skip-a-lap-fast-lap-cool-down thing was a whole other issue but anyway).

Just my $.02 - I’ll be there and it’ll be fun either way, just offering some suggestions.

7

Well I know three cars that can co exist on the track at 1 time :slight_smile:

All in the 1:17 range

8

Not at all Dave - that’s why we’ll be testing things out with our software package on the 13th; well before this date. Everything will be ironed out in advance. And if 4 cars is too many, we’ll cut it down :tup:

Remember that we only used part of the system this last Friday. The whole “do 4 laps for 2 times” was just a limitation since we didn’t have all of the system components there. We’ll be able to have mutiple cars on track with multiple continuous laps. We actually have functions so that times won’t get screwed up if cars get passed, spin out, etc… Only the car that gets passed looses that laps time :slight_smile:

I think you’re thinking too hard about this, lol. In no way are we trying to be NASA here. Hell, we won’t even have extensive classing if at all. We’re just looking to have some fun and friendly competition. I appreciate the input though :tup:

We’ll also get a leaderboard going like TopGear :slight_smile:

9

I am way too excited for this… Josh If you need any help setting up or what not let me know

10

Your system still can’t accommodate cars passing each other (can it??) But yeah, sounds like a good time overall!

11

just put on cars with similar times…

ie. you and cassie and me… hahah

relaaaax…

12

:wave: I was only .7 off of cassi. Thx

13

And we shall call ourselves… the Dunnville Trifecta.

Edit: And I should be there barring any unforeseen circumstances.

14

Is there a cash prize for winning the time attack?

15

Is the offical rule now passport only or will license and birth cert still suffice?

16

There will be some prize, but we haven’t decided on what yet.

License and Birth Cert are good until January at least :tup:
