that's why there is an option, to please both of you, either provide a vid or take a picture. I'm pretty sure that'll end up being a rule as that hasn't dropped below 50% at all. Now as for the owning the car, that isn't looking too promising as it's below 50%. I'd like for that to be a rule, but it depends on if more than half the people that vote want that to be a rule.

Can I buy a 5,000 foot reduction in DA too? My 60' leaves a lot to be desired (around 2.4 usually), but the dang height and heat at Bandimere is a pain in the ass. I want to test-drive an SS T/C just to see what a true 240 to the tire feels like. Even the Mustang GT's and STi's/EVO's up here feel weak after a couple of weeks in San Francisco.

Well, even if you don't own the car, as long as you did at some point (and can prove it), the time should still be valid as long as you were the one that made the pass. Anything that happens with the new owner is theirs though. I didn't vote for it, but I suppose it could be a valid rule. Having room for a good driver paired with a good car (which may not be theirs) is still a good idea IMO.

Not quite sure whether that was serious or sarcastic

At any rate, yes, watching the voting, and DA can die in a fire.

I was serious about the altitude. I got a friend stationed at Ft. Carson, he races at bandimere once in a blue moon. He runs terrible compared to when he was in texas.

5 days left.

Can't wait to hit the track, but I don't think I'll get a run this year On the bright side by the time it opens next year I'll be pretty heavy into the mods(and debt)
Voted, a video's great, or pics of the timeslip/shots of the car at the staging, or something.

thanks for your vote, I agree, something for further proof was definitely needed. I hope that most are able to post a vid as that would be the coolest. I love watching people race at the track almost as much as racing at the track myself.

Dang!!! I missed this. I wish I hadn't been too busy racing. I would have probably seen this and voted. Too bad I didn't get a PM either. My sig says I race.

Regardless, I know I won't make it onto the list since altitude kills times. Glad I'm moving to Virginia this winter so that I can be faster next season.
