It doesnt prevent you from earning champsionship points. A driver may take an average for a single event per year to coach in the first session.

seems like you could deflate it and try for 35 psi, or however much it will do in 10 min, since they all seem to be able to handle that.

Re: Suction Camera Mount

As long as it's a full sized suction mount I'm sure it's fine. This rule was probably from pre gopro days.

Thank you for a great August Course

Thank you, Christine, Tom, et al. For designing and setting up a very interesting and fun course.

I was especially fond of the long left before the pin turn right into the finish. Effective cone placement requiring looking well ahead to remain on line and at the proper aggression.

While not a sound violation, it would be an unsportsmanlike violation.

The measurement will be taken at a point where the vehicle can reasonably be expected to be under load at full throttle. The measuring point will be 50 feet from the edge of the course using an ANSI Type 2 sound meter set to “A” weighting, “Slow” response. The microphone will be 3 to 4 feet above g...
