Charlie, Did the tech inspectors explain where in the rules your ducts are forbidden? Lots of F500s have ducts in the sidepods and/or body that serve functions other than directing air to the radiators. F500 Constructors or anyone else - is there something in the rules I'm forgetting? Thanks, Cory

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 _______________________________________________ F500 mailing list - [email protected] To unsubscribe or change options please visit: http://f500.org/mailman/listinfo/f500 *** Please, DO NOT send unsubscribe requests to the mailing list! *** --------------------------------- Yahoo!
