What qualifying format ifmar or heads up

A.l.b. · June 09, 2016, 02:41:02 AM

348 cc generator is fixed up and good to go. If you need it. It has enough guts to power most of the whole club.

Can we save a spot on this to power the air compressor?

Hey Chris,

It will be IFMAR qualifying, and the Triple/Double mains will be heads up obviously. This is a bit of a practice run of the new WCICS format so we can be sure we know what we're doing come January.

What he said. Avery, I'd like to connect in there as well if possible, for both club races and Speed Weekend.

Thanks,

348cc doesn't mean much to me. How many watts does it put out and how loud is it?

A.l.b. · June 09, 2016, 02:58:36 PM

i will check on the watts but it is very loud

BigDawg · June 17, 2016, 04:58:31 PM

Can anyone race at this speed weekend event?

dajracer · June 17, 2016, 06:35:13 PM

valk · June 17, 2016, 06:45:18 PM

Anyone can race at any speed weekend event. If you have a car in the list bring it out!

BigDawg · June 17, 2016, 07:41:31 PM

On the shelf for a "couple" years? More like 5+ years isn't it? Bring the fleet out Doug, everyone is welcome of course!

Speed Weekend is July 9-10 as per this thread, and we're club racing tomorrow and next weekend if you want to see if you remember how to drive.

Hopefully see you soon!
