We had to do a stop and fuel up in order to be able to go the rest of the way on fuel.
The stop was done under yellow and was clean.
I left pitlane and joined the field.
The series use I have a person with a flag at pit out... If he held the flag up Nd stood in front of you ...you were not ae to leave put lane.
At Road Atlanta ...they decided try we're no longer going to use said person.. And now said person is replaced by a light.
I saw no person nor flag...and didn't know about the light.
I knew there was a pit in light ...but not a pit out light.
We were given a stop and go +60 second penalty...
We hoped that in the last 60 minutes there would be a yellow and we would be able to join the back of the pack.
Instead everyone played nicely and it went green for the final 50 minutes.
When I left pitlane after serving the penalty we were 3 seconds in front on the leaders.
When the yellow came out I was 9 seconds in front on the leaders.
Yeaaaa that pretty much suked

Don't they go over that stuff at the drivers meeting in the morning?

JARblue · 06-16-2013, 09:47 AM

It doesn't sound like they did...

IIRC, I believe there were at least 2 GS and 3 ST cars that were hit by the penalty. At one point, even the guys announcing said it seemed like some drivers weren't told about the change.

HKYStormFront · 06-16-2013, 05:32 PM

that sucks! did they not discuss that in the driver's meeting at all? did anyone else have a problem with it?

Doesn't it feel like it just doesn't want to turn with that much front bar? Obviously it turns really well and works for you but I have to think it feels like you are fighting it to turn. Do you have the OEM power steering?

They've got a pretty stiff (relative to normal aftermarket stuff) rear bar and much stiffer spring rates all around than just about any off the shelf setup. I'm thinking a lot of the steering is done with the loud pedal.

Dwnshift · 06-18-2013, 01:53 PM

It works very well and yes we have factory power steering.
Would I want to drive this on the street full stiff with potholes... no.
But on the track...yes
Rear bar is not at all.. that stiff compared to aftermarket bolt on sway bars....I'm pretty positive most bolt on rear bars are stiffer than we are.
You would be surprised.
