      Targa Florio #5 will be counterclockwise again.  Many thanks to Marty and Steve who devised a stopwatch cell phone method to time our runs and counted the laps.

      What is the scoring method used to determine running order?  The slowest time from prior race, but what about the racers who have missed a race and don’t have as many points as last races’ slowest car?  What is the final class scoring?  Points from each race as usual?

        After looking back at the previous series it will be the total time that determines positions.  No points are awarded it’s just your total time.

        Running order for any race is the leader in points goes first and the last place person goes last.

        There will only be an “A” class for the individual and overall race results.

          Be sure to check facebook for Marty’s post of the race from my text, his improvements and the standings.  Also the pictures.

          Targa five (5) is counter clockwise.  Senso antirario for Italy/Sicily.

              Trivial but interesting.  We did not have a Mercedes 3 liter sports racer eligible in our 2021 race.  But one year the usual silver Mercedes was camouflaged in red paint like the Italian cars to not draw attention. Is that what David di to his Porsche?  Put a red body on his Porsche?

            At 4-years old in Pensacola I repaired my steering linkage on my Ford Pedal-car. Dad later converted this car to a Blue Angel with ailerons and elevators with a working "stick/yoke"; the rudder was controlled by the steering wheel. I like all motorsports - I grew up going to a NASCAR Feeder track with Sportsman and Modified classes, and was lucky to attend drag races in 1970 at Orange County Raceway. My first solder-iron was a Christmas gift at 9yo; I modified T-Jets to be AFX spec before AFX Cars were in local stores. I rebuilt a few tractor & car (SIMCA) engines plus transmissions by 15yo (I still have my ring-compressor and valve spring tool) I am a former mountain and road bike geek & perennial sound engineer.
