nice footage. What suspension are you running? and if your running RA-1's what shave do you run? plus alignment specs would be great thanks!

I followed for much of the beginning of the race in the "BOSS" car. I've got some great footage of the bumper of your car!! Every time we went into the boot, your car was definitely full tanks, My windshield would get covered with fuel Never a major vision problem.

I ran my fastest laps of the weekend chasing you down till on lap 14 an E car didn't take turn 9 well and collected me.

I was only .2 off the record lap with full tanks. Would have loved to have gotten the SP1 record there.

I'll see if I can get some video up tonight.

brent - love the boss outfit !
yes we had some fuel issues .. which i found out the hard way
when i got into the car for the second half of the enduro i couldnt finish the race - ran out of fuel ! yes for some reason we were dumping fuel which some of our fellow racers told us afterwards. probably dumped a few gallons and thus our shortage. oh well .. back to the drawing board. need to do some trouble shooting. yes please show some video.
thanks

Not sure how your overflow is set up but you may be able to run a longer hose with a couple loops in it up higher than the tank itself (so it drains back and eliminates siphoning) to stop the steady flow under G's. I know you normally run minimal fuel so this doesn't usually happen. Your lucky to have data and can look at Joel's runs and compare him to yours, plus you have his input on possible setup changes to try out. Having someone (good) drive your car is usually a great idea .

Nice job out there bud!

Here's video of the end of my enduro I'll try to edit the video of the tail end of your car. I got a good view of it for 3 or 4 laps

Looks like the E car lost the battle trying to stay inside. Curious what the scrutineers thought...

The E car driver was very cool about it. We talked with Vicki, he accepted full responsibility and took the 13. I had given them plenty of inside room and he was fully past me when he started the tank slapper. Just being in the wrong place.

Always next year. This race is on my permanent list
