Official World of Speed 2012 topic

All of the logs are now availible except for today on the usfra site

Actually, although Sunday's records and Monday's down runs are now there, the big list of Sunday's down runs still isn't there (at 0420MDT Wednesday). 

0625MDT and now I'm seeing everything except Tuesday's stuff.

Additionally, with Glen on the mic, you would have a solid pitch to an advertiser for support.

And, would Roy Creel come by and demand a 10% tribute to SCTA/BNI turning a profit at their event?

I'm somewhat aware of the expenses involved with this.  If Roy is interested in 10% of the profits, perhaps he'd be willing to pony up 10% of the costs until it becomes profitable? 

Seriously, though, there's been a lot of volunteer time and effort going into these webcasts, and if you enjoyed them, show Slim some love -

I am inspired to send some money.  The link doesn't seem to be working for me, though.  I'll dig around on the website a little to find out how to contribute.

Funds have been sent.  Thank you for all of your hard work, Slim (and everyone else).

Steve.

See attached file of all of the runs posted on the USFRA site.  It is about the only thing I have gotten done at work today.  Of course, this is without Tuesday runs.
Does it sound correct that there were only 302 runs(154 cars, 148 bikes) for 3 days?
I don't have a rulebook, anybody know what V4F is?

Ok, I didn't see the class in the record book.  Must be an open record.

Does anyone have any word on Gary Spencer's #630, AA\CFA. I heard he broke the record on Monday. I would appreciate any word.

[Bob Drury]

  Jr., I believe it was 258 + and congrats to Gary for two great runs........... Bob Drury

We had a rude ending to WOS '12..... RR blowout at 230. Fortunately, when you pay your registration fee, they allow you full use of the width of the track.... I needed it all to rein it in and get it clear of the course. Many thanks to Tom Shannon for helping us get the car loaded into the trailer since I left town with no spares (DUH!) and couldn't tow it back to my pit. USFRA had a pretty bad hand dealt to them due to the ever-constantly changing weather, but they did a great job anyway!

Is it just my computer or have some of the records actually went away on the USFRA wesbite. I thought they had the first 2 days up and now i only see the first days???

[Glen]

I printed off the runs thru Monday. Tuesday wasn't up.

No, it's not just you, the second day's list of records is now gone.  I had noticed that both lists were marked "Records Sept. 9, 2012", so maybe they took down the second one to fix that.  But whatever, it's not there anymore.

Slim posted of the mornings record returns a few pages back.  This was one of them:
630        Gary Spencer          226.122     234.893    250.981     258.537
My guess would be that this is the qualifying run:
630   GARY SPENCER   230.833   237.105   252.371      259.685  exit 260.588
The class record was 256.233.

I had a stack of probs.....car really loose, air compressor probs (shifter), blowing off turbo hoses (including the one in this run), tach not working (paper on dash is MPH in each gear so I would know where to shift) and about a million other problems.

I am going to make provisions to strap the pipes, a hard lesson learned. Thankfully my new motor was REALLY strong and had no mechanical probs!

Also note the avocado on the dash.....
