It seems the drivers had to make quite a few unscheduled stops for mechanical issues. Reliability has certainly come a long way. It also seems that races were generally 2 hrs long, although that doesn't seem to have been a consistent rule. I would picture 1 hr races in the season with no conditions, 100% damage.

Quote from: Phil.8 on May 11, 2017, 10:53:25 AMwho cars what they look like as long as they have grey stuff and the corners are in the the right spot Many here openly encourage low quality rips and generally poorly made mods, I avoid Thursdays even if home due to this and if Tuesdays go the same way I will avoid those too.yes we know, we hear it often Logged The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older Mael RestrictedRacing Hero Member Posts: 1045 Karma: 21 Re: Classic Lotus Fun Run - May 16 « Reply #17 on: May 11, 2017, 02:26:30 PM » Quote from: Wally on May 11, 2017, 02:12:17 PMI was reading about pit stops in the 60's.

Why not just tell yourself its not your thing and keep out of it ?

Why not just tell yourself its not your thing and keep out of it ?That can work both ways yea, if your not interested in someone elses opinion then stay out of the discussion. If you didnt mention your amazingly low standards for accepting a track and as you run Thursdays with the same standards is the only reason I mentioned it here.Do I have to praise all the crappy rips/mods pushed on this forum recently? I am free to give my opinion just as you or anyone else does.Also running a seperate "event" purposefully clashing with a Tuesday fun run I think was great form so well done on that.I wont run this round but its not like I am going to post about running an alternative fun run to it on this forum at the same time. « Last Edit: May 11, 2017, 03:08:03 PM by marty » Logged Phil.8 RestrictedRacing Hero Member Posts: 4158 Karma: 62 Δ8 Re: Classic Lotus Fun Run - May 16 « Reply #20 on: May 11, 2017, 03:40:20 PM » separate event purposefully clashing with a Tuesday night event, please explain this statement, I find it interesting Logged The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older Phil.8 RestrictedRacing Hero Member Posts: 4158 Karma: 62 Δ8 Re: Classic Lotus Fun Run - May 16 « Reply #21 on: May 11, 2017, 03:47:57 PM » Quote from: marty on May 11, 2017, 02:57:11 PMQuote from: Phil.8 on May 11, 2017, 02:31:14 PMSeeing that you have no interest in Thursday night racing and what we race and what tracks we race on, why do you make disparaging comments about it when ever you get bored or something ?

I have low standards, so usually not too critical in assessing tracks. I get bored driving the same ones though.

I asked if Phil could put the Skip Biber up for a bit of a run for myself and any others unable to do the Nords run. I basically struggle to last 30 minutes or so at the present so the Nords enduro wasn't possible. I deliberately left it to the last minute to suggest so as not to have it seem like an alternate event to the Nords run. I think the Nords event got a good turn out and a very good completion rate for such an event.Just wanted to make sure that Wally understood that no offence intended.
