CMC Inpound / Tech for 2017 season

[michaelmosty]

Inpound / Tech discussion:
We have done a lot of checking ride height, track width, air dam height, subframe connectors, etc. over the years.
I would like to get all racers opinions on other items you would like to see tech'd throughout the year.

Please either PM me here or send me an email to michael.mosty@capitalone.com with any suggestions you have.

I will turn over a large list of possible Tech items to NASA / Hank at the beginning of the event and have them determine what will be tech'd after the various sessions.

Are we trying to ID performance related issues, safety, both?

Not that it would have changed my Hallett results, but if something is supposed to be "as raced" it needs to be tech'd as close to coming off track as possible.

I think I would rather see safety items generally done in the paddock save personal gear - socks/gloves/balaclava/etc.

I'll take a look at the rules anew.

NASA can Tech whatever they want regarding safety and the CCR's. I'm more looking for any thoughts on the CMC rules to Tech.

What was tech'd on "subframe connectors"?

[Wade]

Only certain attachment points are allowed on subframe connectors, so generally, you can't stitch them down the length of the car, just fore and aft.

I'm a "sunshine" guy - I would like to know what was teched at each event. I don't see any reason not to publish the results of each car either.

I got teched with the Top-5 because I came in to weigh; still working on how I feel about that. First blush is either tech the announced Top-X or everybody - pick one.
