2024 Daytona 200 aka Big D

Lambda was very stable, you would have been ok knowing Matt's tunes, he rarely lives on the ragged edge with aggressive maps unless you ask him to. It's an improvement.

 

Other than Attack, I don't know of any. I saw a ZX-6 that let go. FWIW there's a GYTR head that's coming up for approval that they should be able to run, some might have it. I've learned to wait until Richard addresses which part failed before saying it popped because it was too high strung.

 

Hope all the teams got the kink outs for the full season. Struck by the lack of season long entries in the top 10 of SuperSport, its what 3 people (Scott, Mesa, Hobbs)?

 

Doesn't Rombolinksi always blame the fuel ?

 

I mean considering the shit show that the VP spec fuel is, they're kinda make it easy for him...

 

What the D200 is not a real race.

 

Well any way,everyone knows 4-cylinder bikes consume more gas than twins,real race or not.

 

Yep, Escalante was too worried about his competitor winning and not running his own race on the bike he was running.

It's my opinion that tank capacity shouldn't be strictly enforced above 18 liters. Needs to be a margin of error allowed.

My argument...How did .2 or .3 of a liter give that rider/team an advantage?

 

Yea, let's give them 18.3, then with the margin of error they can have 18.6 :P

 

I'm not taking your bait, @gixxerboy55
Displacement of an engine determines the airflow volume in cubic centimeters. More air requires more fuel to provide the ideal air to fuel mixture to make power. The Rahal team planned on a 3 stop strategy to be safe. Warhorse had done more testing, and figured it out to make it work for JH4. They went through the same tech inspection as everyone else did.

Yes @Used2befast, the racing might be better if the rules had more 'grey areas,' and 'margin of errors.'

 

Man that really cuts deep.

 

RRW published Fongs tank was over the 19 liter limit.

For safety, I think there should be no team that runs out of gas. If that were to happen in the draft at full toyota you can imagine the carnage. If a team crosses the 57 lap finish under power they must be under power when they arrive at their pit post race or winners circle.

In our modern era, why can't they program a dash with a low fuel indicator?

 

Seeing Patricia running across the paddock waving her arms after Corey West won the superhoolingan race was the best thing ever.

 

JH2???

 

Yeah, since when did the good Josh get a Duc ride?
