Bridgeport an Grandview services are different?
I don't understand what services means.
I never ran front drive cars, but like I said, used, especially performance tires, don't work as well as new/near new, soft M/S tires with a tread that evacuates easily and don't smooth over. That is why snow & truck tires were always outlawed. Good tires will "drive" circles through the mud/dirt instead of "doing" circles in it.
If your going to throw a red to get a driver out of a car that is in a dangerous spot, then that car is also a danger to other drivers still on the track. It's an enduro, but like everyone is saying, cars are harder to find and the costs are going through the roof. Cars being wrecked unnesessarily and drivers having to sit out the rest of the season because of $$$, that isn't good for the Series either. It's an Officials call that will help drivers Enjoy the race even more.
I've been through the mud being everywhere and not being able to see (into turn 3 @ the Grove Wide Open) and in the Pouring Rain (NEETS Tioga)in a Dirt car on asphalt and No Windshield. Talk about foggy glasses and shield. It's a challenge but you learn how to overcome it for the next race.
Steve, I raced Mountain in the original series and was one of the group that talked the promoter(of the time) to go to "stock" cars which resulted in the "Junk Car Series". Remember the track being watered down with Fabric Softener in the water, "..to make it more interesting...".
K&N Filter in the original filter box is ok, but a 350 in a metric car is not.
200 laps or 2 hours is awesome.
leave them where they die
look leave the dead cars where they die. the fans love watching the wrecks,it makes it more challenging and thats going to make the race that much longer if they move them. as for fixing your car for the next race it is what it is. we have on average a month to fix them. i would even like to see two or three dead cars placed on the track before we take the green. just like flumingtion use to do. its not suppose to be a easy race. as for the last race. yes the mud sucked but that was the hole challenge.it sucked that Howie hit that parked car.hes my team mate and i feel i had a little something to do with that i blocked up the frontstrech because my car couldn't turn left all the way and i didn't want to get stuck in the mud at the bottom. there are so many things that can go wrong. the one who wins the race had the best luck that day. SO KEEP IT INTERESTING...
Do you go to Enduro Races or Demo Derbies ?
To Enduro Drivers, a 200 lap "Enduro" is like driving in the Daytona 500. They don't want to destroy their cars, they want to Endure a 100 or 200 lap race and be the Winner. That is challenging enough. It is an incredible feeling to run door handle to door handle with more than 10 cars, every single lap, for the win or to at least finish Every Lap.
If you look at the history of these races, they didn't move cars mostly because there were Too Many Cars and there was not enough time. Flemmington was starting 200 cars (a friend drove in them) and I watched, just before it closed, at least 125 cars. I also watched some Violent Wrecks there with cars left in the groove. JFK in Phila. also. Since there aren't that many cars and it could be a judgement call on the officials to quickly push a car out of the groove (not on a tow truck) and resume, it should be considered.
It doesn't sound like everyone wants the track completely cleared, but they want to watch a safe endurance "race", not good cars/drivers wadded up on a dead "obstacle" in the middle of the track.
Leave that to the figure 8s and the demos.
Demo fig-8 enduro whats your point u dont have to be crazy to run them but it helps

ITS NOT DAYTONA WE DON'T PASS DEAD CARS AT 200+ IF YOU ARE SCARED OF IT MAYBE IT S NOT THE SPORT FOR U.. DEMOS-FIG-8-ENDURO- WHATS YOUR POINT. I'm not there to wreck my car. WHAT HAPPENS OUT THERE "IT IS WHAT IT IS" I DO IT BECAUSE ITS FUN AND I LOVE THE SPORT... THE ONLY TIME A CAR NEEDS TO BE MOVED IF IT LEAKING GAS OR THE TRACK IS TOTALLY BLOCKED AND I MEAN TOTALLY BLOCKED. I'M NOT TRYING TO PICK ON U SO DON'T GET ME WRONG JUST GIVE U A BIGGER TAKE ON WHAT A ENDURO IS.
cant help it this is funny

As for the 350 in a metric GM....y not? Its a small block. Its GM. Some of those 305s run up there with those 350s:confused:
Im running a 400 and those 350s walk by me like im standing still.:confused:
u mean all the money you spent on that car its not fast. SHOCKER it was fast in 09 when it ran a race or two. you whine more than the guy you bought it from. thats it joe give us back our rear view mirror i got a lot pacifiers to hand out need a place to hang them all. it wont get wrecked if u leave it on the trailer. as for your motor you need to work on that or do u want all of us to slow down and weight for u to catch up?
