Doh - I wasn't placing the avatar with the screen name. Yes, great racing with you, and I meant to stop by and say hi. I was trying to fend you off for a while and when the car started overheating, I had to give it up. I gave you the point-by once into 1, and with your gearbox difficulties, I had to do the over/under pass coming out of two. Fun times indeed!

You definitely impressed a lot of us with setting some very fast laps on your first time to Summit Point!

Thanks. It was weird that I had problems with 2nd in 1 and no where else. I did start getting some grinding going into 4th though. That was another reason I did not do the enduro. I have found it is usually cheaper to fix things before you completely destroy them.

According to http://www.rennpoints.com, 14 class records fell this past weekend. I guess the track wasn't all that bad...

I was only sorting a car in DE and not racing. The track has been far worse in the past. T1 had a clean (enough) line as did T5 and T6. That said one line through a corner does little good in racing.
I did note that one racer that ended up with hub issues looked like he was hooking up and over the curb and into the pothole behind it in T1 rather often.

The weather might have played a role in the records. Cool dry air and lots of sun to heat the track surface makes for better HP and grip. I know I found a bit more grip and HP than in the past.

Right on Brian. It is hard to look past that many records without doubt. For all the complaining about the track (which some is warranted), many people were still finding a way to up their game.

Thanks for the heads up on this Brian. I wasn't aware that I set a new track record in GT4S with a 1:18.183... nice I'l take it.

i didn't know about the rennpoints site. pretty cool. anybody know how to contact the admin? I was curious if the keep a record of past class records. Just curious who had records before and how long they stood. Would be another interesting thing to track IMO.

I put the site together, so send me a PM if you need to contact the admin

The records for most of the stock classes go back to 2004, and if PCA ever republishes the old results, I'll get them as far back as I can.

BTW, the site does provide a way of seeing old records and for how long they stood. Select both a track and a class, and it will show you the history of that class record. Here's an example: E class record at Watkins Glen

Cool! As usual, its was user error (or rather lack of understanding). Choosing the class and track showed me exactly what I wanted to see, which was what I was going to contact the admin about. Thanks for putting that together, it is very cool.

Brian,
I think Louis Bestadt still holds the F class record at SP. Timmy Tyrell's car was DQ'd and reclassified a G class, so his quali time should not represent a new record time.

Brian P

Actually, Doug DePietro would have it now with a 1:23.705. I'll make a modification to the site to disregard these types of records.

LPM911

so i was thinking (i know, dangerous of me )and i had a question about that. i think timmy's lap record was set during quali. he didn't get DQ'd until race 1. so wouldn't the record stand? i would think that the time would only be voided if it occurred during the event the person was DQ'd. there really isn't a way to prove that he was underweight for quali at this point.

Holy Toledo.........

Doug now has track records at both T-bolt and Summit Point........
