Nicely done!

(Leroy Grumman)Brandon,
Here is the link to an earlier discussion about Pit Boxes. There are several links to Pit Box mfg’s in the thread.

(Leroy Grumman)Great stuff Ary.
Thanks again for putting the time into creating these how-to videos.

(Leroy Grumman)Yep… that’s my Classic GT entry.
And you are right… the electrics will be upgraded and the tires secured before this series starts! If it hadn’t been for those two issues I would have finished much better in Mille Miglia.

(Leroy Grumman)I wasn’t proposing a sleep over, but maybe a breakfast to lunch kinda thing? We have a year to plan it, so who knows what might happen!

(Leroy Grumman)I want to propose one addition to the rules that is more of a statement than a change:
Tires may be glued to the rim.
Because the classic tire compounds that are currently available from most (all?) of our regular suppliers are so soft (Shore 25 or softer) they tend to peel off the rim under acceleration in corners. This affected me quite a bit in the late races of the Mille Miglia, and while it didn’t have much impact on my placement (that was due to other issues) it seemed like a needless issue to have to deal with, especially considering how many other issues we have to address with an “open” series.
The reason I want to explicitly state this is because we don’t allow gluing tires to rims in year-long Slot.it series, and I think we have generally applied that rule to the other series, even it wasn’t explicitly stated.

(Leroy Grumman)Thanks… helpful at home too!

(Leroy Grumman)I had hoped to, but with 24 hrs of Le Mans, the final races of Q2, Grand-Am, and Father’s day conspiring against my schedule I won’t be able to make it.

(Leroy Grumman)I like the idea, but the timing might not work. We’ll have to see how the proxy schedules work out.
I think the Fly Truck proxy is a lock if we continue with our current two-series quarters… We’ll have to see about the plans Monte has for the Touring car proxy. Either way, they are both good series, whether we do a proxy or not.

(Leroy Grumman)That’s great news. Let’s see how competitive they will actually be. (Hoping for best.)
