    CMC Inpound / Tech for 2017 season

    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.

    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.

    Dave, tech was for the Top 5. If you were outside of the top 5 and made to tech, that is not right. I'm guessing it was a misunderstanding of just Tech-ing the CMC cars that were there. If not please let me know and we can get that worked out.

    Tech for the weekend:
    Race 1 - track width
    Race 2 - socks (NASA)
    Race 3 - front sway bar
    Race 4 - no tech

    I am going to get a master list of Tech items to NASA for the remainder of the year. Please get me any suggestions you have within the next week.

    NASA, Tech (Hank), and our Race Director will determine the Tech items for the weekend from the CMC rulebook as well as from any requests I have submitted from the racers.

    Will you be making this list public?

    After the fact I would guess.

    I suspect you're right, and am not offended since my understanding is the car can be teched any time. To be fair, I didn't say "not top five, just here to weigh" either.

    Oh, BTW... I watched Hank do some annuals - he has the patience of Job. I made a point to tell him I appreciate the way he runs Tech. Why other groups don't have some folks approved to do annuals astounds me.
