What an awesome weekend. Have to congratulate all of the participants, we had tons of really good clean racing. Nasa did an awesome job live broadcasting...in a few days the videos will be posted for viewing any time. Kent Owens took CMC with the next four cars all within two seconds. AJ Hartmann is the AI champ after Lapaglia was DQ for having an engine mapping control switch within drivers reach. More details soon...

What happen to Cody? I was pretty hungover yesterday but pretty sure I did not see him in the final.

No more race car
This should be good. Any "switch" should be a problem, i.e. not hard to wire in a bluetooth receiver and do it remotely. Possibly even a GPS module so the car knows where it is.
CONGRATS Kent!
I watched some of the coverage but missed the Champ race. Sounds like a good one to watch.

No way to police that without a black box in each car. Nothing keeping someone on your crew to remotely flash the tune wirelessly on the pace lap and re-flash on the cool down lap... the death of amateur hobby racing. Just like when “video killed the radio star...”

Ohh, kinda reminds you of that 4.8 that rapped out past 8000 in years past with the door switch was it? Why wasn't Patterson there this year?

Nah, potentially just an oversight. Giving the benefit of the doubt since I don't know him, it could have been inadvertent.
Reminds me of a case of welded subframe connectors in plain sight that had been tech'd multiple times...
Sometimes the penalty needs to be harsh as the deterrent to others.

My car has an engine temp sensor disconnect switch. I havent needed it yet, but supposedly the TPI can be hard to warm restart and that switch is supposed to help. I suppose I need to get rid of that. You guys already mentioned it would probably cause a stink. Of course I wont be on any podiums anytime soon.....so no one cares yet.
Maybe his switch was similar......had a reliability function rather than adding power, but technically against the rules.

Great for AJ. He was faster all weekend but didn't get as good of a launch on the start. Wonder how long Lapaglia has been running with the switch...
