RECENT RACES AT CAPITAL CITY IN PFLUGERVILLE
May 1st 2021- “South Texas Scale Series” – which rotates between Houston, San Antonio and Austin.
CLASSES: LMP (lemans) with a flexi-chassis; 48 to 50k motor (Hawk or Intimidator);
GTP – prototype-ish GT bodies with more downforce than the LMPs; stiffer chassis – either a G12 triangle used for GP-F wing cars or a super light chassis with minimal float (laser-cut steel); 50k to 60k motor (Intimidator or Phoenix)
For LMP we had 13 racers; two rounds (7, 6); with x2 sit-outs (marshal duty). Local racer “Larry” was P1, PA Watson from Houston was P2, Ken Stevens from HSARC was P3.
Thankfully we had an average amount of de-slots. For GTP we had 6 racers and only two dedicated Marshals. Three-minute heats, with three-minute pits; plus Track-calls and Qualifying resulted in each round lasting appx 75~90 minutes. Between LMP and GTP we had ten minutes for lunch and tune. With practice and tune and BS it was a long day (5~6 hours).
