Rob, you're supposed to eat at a race weekend. HP/TQ numbers and weights will be interesting.
Well F me!
Good job JK!
Rob????? WTF man? Light post race?
Wow, what a rollercoaster ride today. First of all, hats off to all of the drivers, friends, and family that made it out here and battled on and off track. The race was just spectacular.
CMC2:
Steel got out front early followed by Kellam and Brown. Kellam was throwing everything at Steel to get by. It looked like Brown was just hanging, waiting for the right time. The right time came and he passed both guys to get into the lead. Nick was fighting a worsening push and started to drop. Kellam got into 2nd and then slowly but surely inched his way to Brown's back bumper. 2nd to last lap Jeremiah made a great run out of the last turn and the cars passed the line side by side under the white flag. The entire control room was standing and cheering. It was awesome. They went side by side for three turns before Brown finally edged up. Kellam threw everything at him, but just couldnt make it happen.
In post race tech Alan Blain started pouring over the cars. One tech item was air dams and air deflectors and validating their height. Brown's air deflector was found to be too low. The car was pushed from the impound area to the garage with a polished and level floor, and it was still low. Measurements were taken with and without driver, it made no difference. Brown was therefore DQd, making the top three Jeremiah Kellam, Nick Steel, and James Ray.
CMC1:
Liebbe got in front early and in back just about everyone lined up after the first lap. Balingit was giving chase, never falling more than a few car lengths behind Rob through some pretty damn fast laps. Ginsberg drove off driver's left at turn one and parked the car in a safe location allowing green racing to continue. Thanks for that Adam!! Safety crews radioed in that Adam told them the shifter had broken. No one got a chance to talk to him because he packed and left before we were out of tech. Kent Owens was running a good race but felt a vibration that made him think his tire was going down, so he pulled through hot pits to verify, which is a bummer because his tires were fine and as it turns out he would've been on the podium if he'd just stayed out.
In post race tech Balingit was DQd for having illegal chassis stiffening under rule 7.6.2. His strut tower connector has tubes running to the firewall well under the minimum distance of 18" from a roll cage attachment point. Liebbe was sent to the dyno and DQd for making too much power. He broke out of the CMC maximum allowable of 237hp.
I was absolutely crushed at having to DQ any of the drivers, much less three of them. Everyone was good about it, the rules in all of these cases are cut and dry.
Thats it for CMC...results are done, pictures are taken...lets start drinking!!!

Job well done to all.
Great job w/ Tech. This goes to show that you must have a legal car in CMC to win the big show. Its all part of the song and dance.
Rob's DQ is fishy. Surely not Rob's fault. I also do not question the dyno, but rather an issue w/ the car. I hope Al will follow up on this and find out why this happened.
WOW what a turn of events since I left this site just after the race.
Congrats to JK.!!
What a complete bummer for Dave and Rob.
I am curious how you can be legal on Tuesday and illegal on Saturday on the same dyno. :?
Conspiracy ... it's the only plausible excuse.Quote:
