HSO & HSO-A Open - SCCA 1974 - Daytona - May 11th 2014

 Ford mustang N°23.

I dont understand these cars, t/a weighs the most but handles the best. The camaro is the lightest and its slow as hell and handles like a mustang.   

Perhaps try filling the Camaro up with more fuel; the added weight may have a stabilizing factor?

I am positive the F1 1965 race is not happening on the 11th. This came up when I was discussing this open with Frank and Martin.

Indeed, and this is apparent to everyone here but it seems that only Richard noticed it  

Alfa #41!

What if I take a #33 Mustang?   

#42 Alfa please   

And the B class starts to fill!


And the thing about more fuel balancing the car is extremely true. It may be a good idea to try more than you think you need in some cars. It will turn a pushing dump truck into car looser than a 2 dollar prostitute.

FYI the criteria for the Capris is "Slower than Mike"   (don't auto post any of those please Jason or other admins).


Edit: Just looked at hotlaps...clearly will need to write that +1000 pound weight penalty script for the 93 Firebird. I will map it to an unused key and hit it as many times as required. 6 minute laps! Sparks everywhere!  

I always start with a full tank and practice some laps before i start making changes. The camaro is just flat out slow, three seconds slower than all the cars.

Depends whose driving I chose the car only because
I loved Smokey and the Bandit

I'd like to reunite with my race winning (ok, there was only two of us) and champ winning (ok, be it abandoned mid season) #31 Capri please, and look forward to slaying some Sedan A's

Capri #68 for me.
But are you sure for standings start? Rolling start, wasn't it the rule for these races?

Only to Austin's Firebird   

Mick - approved on Capris.

Sorry Ben - you do not meet the "slower than Mike" rule. Choose again.

I don't choose an other car. It's capri or nothing.  

Uh oh. Looks like Ben's calling your bluff Mike.  

Ben cannot Drive anything unless it has a Capri engine or it looks like a bmw I know ive seen him drive LOL.

That's not how it works ^^

I don't see any problem with Ben in a Capri.

OK, I will cave, Ben can drive a Capris    

But note added   

Ok, thx for the Capri.
Just to inform you, Mike, for the car, I'm mono-maniac.
And just to laugh : Except for Cyril and Vadim, nobody is slower than you. Only 3 frees capris were enough.    

Well guys im on my way to a job interview at Tesla motors, wish me luck
