Very cool… but will you race it?  😉

Hmm… that makes sense… match the power to weight ratios.  I’ll look forward to the results.

I would be remiss if I didn’t point out the 3M adhesive on the heating element.

That’s sad news.  And on the heels of the announcment that ALMS would be racing at one of my favorite tracks this year, Virginia International Speedway.

I hope this doesn’t impact Porsche’s decision to return to the series.

Well… your first guess might be close… I’ve never actually observed the construction of the main ingredient… suffice it to say that it is not the same as a “whorederve”.  

Oh… and the cheese/meat platter is up for grabs… I’m all-in for manderves now.

Not for per-race scoring, but for leader board standings.  If the B bracket only has one or two drivers; well, you don’t have much of a leader board.  I was thinking along lines of at least having a standard podium of 1/2/3 in each bracket.

I’m in for either a selection of cheeses/sausage/crackers or manderves.  (I’ll try to do the latter, as I’m sure you all are terribly curious about just what a “manderve” is…)  Bwahahahaha…..

I continue to like the idea… the only challenge is in the number of racers.  If we have at least 10 racers active in each series it starts to make sense, assuming that we can create a split between 50/50 and 60/40 based on a rule like Marty’s proposed pct of best performance rule.

Great write up Ary.  Can’t wait to see how they run.

Do we bracket our own cars or do we have someone else do it.  (Or at least have a second driver verify the bracket time?)

I like the definitions of the classes and the rules are generally pretty simple.  

A couple of things:

1. I think we still want to limit the RPM of the motor. For example: Say you’re building a narrow chassis car that takes a FF-050 motor. There are FF-050 motors available that range from 10k to 39k RPM.  To keep speeds closer to a scale representation and field more even on available power we probably want to limit that to 14k.
2. Just to be clear: we will run RTR and Scratch built together.  Not as separate classes. 

BTW: That timeline document is pretty interesting.
