Sounds good. Thanks for the heads up.Alizarin wrote:To whomever gets there early tomorrow (Eric?)... I left the timing box in the trailer after the last event. Could you take out the batteries and charge them for about 30 minutes each? We've got plenty of time in the morning before first car off even if somebody doesn't get to it.
Oh yeah, handle side faces up on the timer box before you open it.

Re: July 17th - SPC
Gotcha. I figure I could wrap them in cellophane and throw them in my storage shed. I wrap my slicks in cellophane after each event, so I've already got plenty. How much is the marble dust? Maybe I'll buy a bag and try it out. If it doesn't work, I'll cut it up and use it for lawn edging.Loren wrote:Careful. That stuff soaks up moisture and turns into neat white bricks

So far, I'm looking good to get out of work early to pickup the marble dust.

Re: July 17th - SPC
Unless plans change I will NOT be at the event tomorrow. This is the last available Saturday to spend time with my son before he leaves for Canada for the rest of the summer. And, looking ahead, the US government has already told us he has to leave the country by this time next year. (Yes, I'm not kidding even though he has lived here since he was 7 - he doesn't really remember much about living in Canada.) I'm trying to get the highest quantity of quality time with him that I can.
I hope the weather holds for y'all. Looks like an enjoyable course.

Re: July 17th - SPC
Guys, don't panic. Didn't I commit to tow the trailer?
I keep my commitments!
I'm going to tow the trailer to Brooksville in the morning then take off with my son and come back for it mid-afternoon. No problem.

Re: July 17th - SPC
So my passenger window did not want to go up so I decided to grab it with a pair of pliers any way is it a problem for me to run my car if it has some broken glass stuck in the door. I don't see how it could come out unless I roll it over also I'm missing 1 point form the 4-24 event I ran e2 and got 7th and bye the looks of it I'm going to need it
thanks Chris Baron

Note to self: Don't lift window glass with pliers.
Okay, got it.
Nah, loose glass bits in the door shouldn't be a problem.

Re: July 17th - SPC
As long as the glass is fully inside the door, and the interior panel is there to contain it, it's fine.
As for finishing position/point corrections: They need to be done prior to the following event. It's at the bottom of this page:

Sorry, man.
