World Finals 2012 Racing

[JamesJ]

The third vehicle of the meet was the roadster of Mariani Farms -- and he qualified at about 213 on his own record of 208.

Was this their new E/STR? When did they raise it up to 208? it was 204 during Speed Week

[Seldom Seen Slim]

Yes, it was a '12 SpeedWeek record.  I guess it was their new E/STR.  I didn't see it - just heard over the radio.  They're pitted right next to us - maybe I'll see it later.  Of couse, we're down by impound -- I'll see it soon.

Speaking of hearing things - all I'm getting on the streaming is a buzzy scratchy noise.  Maybe I should go smack Max upside the head.

nuthin but white noise here in Colorado

[Tman]

Still quiet

[Shanes824]

here we go

[Tman]

Audio working now Max.

Little raspy, like the modulation is too high.

Chris is tweeking the audio kit, announcer is Harold, forgot his last name.

[Tman]

Audio levels are good. I think the garble is on the announcers side.

Max, you guys are set up fine, thanks. But, I have to keep shutting it off from the horrible changes in volume and crackly/garbled announcing

[Moxnix]

T, it's the FM radio we had to scab in, as the tuner I've been using here for years went quiet.  Chris may find another unit and fix the static.

Chris is tweeking the audio kit, announcer is Harold, forgot his last name.

 Is Harold the new BNI anouncer that replaced Glen?

 Are you sending this audio from up in the timing trailer?

That new Mariani street roadster is far and away the slickest aeroed out one Ive ever seen. Im sure it will set a new standard for them. Not only that the car is a work of art in build quality, appearance, & speed. The rule book must have been stretched to the max

[Moxnix]

We set up the new kit in Slim's trailer, picking up the 88.9 FM (new frequency for BNI) on an available boom box.  A better tuner will do what we need but there are no electronics outlets here on the salt.  All will be fine, er, tomorrow . . .

 I'm doing some long distance tuning over the cell/internet this week for my buddy Wally Kohler and his side car bike. The record is 166.4 (I think). The past few weeks he made the changes we talked about after speed week and I looked at the atmospheric conditions and made him some tune up maps. His crew chiefs Carlos & Jon loaded tune up #1 in it this morning.  Well,  he just called me and it went 174+ out of the box. I look forward to hearing about his back up run.  JC
