After sitting in impound for well over an hour, I had my qualifying times
tossed Saturday at Gingerman because our Red Devil SU-F1 has ducts in the front
of the pods that don't go directly into a heat exchanger (they cool the
clutches). I guess I understand the ruling to an extent, but sheesh, the car
was homogulated this way.
For some reason, I thought that if the car is as homogulated, it is legal.
Wasn't there an issue with sidepod radius that resulted in a GCR change based
on the fact that a car was homogulated that way, or am I still all wet from the
Michigan rain? I'm not sure who at SCCA to write re. this issue but any
pointers appreciated.
Congrats to Kenny Price (smart enough to change to wets on the grid and a
great drive) on the win, Bob Giesen for second and the all the others. It's
fun in the rain on slicks, eh boys?
Thanks to the rain, we managed a third. Proving himself of greater benefit
than bad weather, we must also thank Phil Green for help with a last minute
drive belt change, getting us started (again!) and beer (again!).
Anyways, I know for sure other Red Devils have this same ducting. Maybe
other cars, too. I'll call Don Henley to apprise him of the situation, but now
I'm just getting the word out and looking for recourse. Boss Marilyn is
grateful tech does not check the ducting between my ears.
I'm so friggen happy,
Charlie
