Fall season round 2 @ Mugello

Postby Giddyup » Mon Sep 16, 2019 10:31 pm

Hey boys and girls, Round 2 goes next Sunday at my place. The Mugello cleaning crew has been in and the neighborhood kids have been given a rubber in the track.

Classes will be ‘70’s Scaley/Fly F1, Slot.it Group C and IMSA (‘94-present LMP/GT).

Triple T stables is rumored to be trotting out some new ponies for a looksy

And this old grey mare...

Or maybe this it’ll be The Silver Phoenix, risen from the ashes (circa 2006)

Too many choices :lol:

2019-20 Fall Race 2 Statistics

Postby AndGoliath » Sun Sep 22, 2019 4:39 pm

Thank you for hosting, Tom.

Here is the big board for today's race at Mugello:

Image

And here is the stats summary for this race:

Image

There were no corrections necessary. The laps per lane, total laps, total distance, ranking of distance, and portion of total distance relative to the class leader is indicated for each each class run and for the day total. The IOE column indicates the portion of distance to the sum of the best distance in each class (e.g., if a person won all classes, then they would have 100%). The Avg % column indicates the average of the class percentages (e.g., equal weighting of classes). I have also updated the Tomadago results with a similar table.

Finally, here are the current fall standings:

Image

Aaron extended his top-5 streak to four races. This puts him in a tie for 15th place all-time. Brad is also sitting with a four-race result. With Bob's third in Group C he went to 99 lifetime class podiums. Hopefully he can reach and surpass 100 next time.

Welcome Ladies and Germs to the 2nd installment of racing action for this season at the oldest course in RMR's block Mugello. Its been said that muscle memory is the only way to drive this course as its ups downs lefts and rights will leave you in a dizzying spin time and time again. It is this bears opinion that this is by far our most technical track and home to RMR's top racer TTT. The fastest cars in Calgary have come out of this area with gold place plaques to prove it.

First up Fly/Scaley F1. These lightweight terrors danced around the track as Bob and David parried over gentleman of they year. No i insist after you sir. No no no after you. Why thank you sir your a gentleman and scholar. For a moment i had a flash of a wonderful place where we all raced in peace and order. The marshals happily running down the meadow without a care in the world. SMASH.........Kevins auto van zipper tore a tire off killing the driver instantly.
Image
AL said it best "Bugger Dugger". TTT seemed to have a whole new bag of tricks for home track advantage as he revealed his secret weapon code name "Black Beauty". Everyone stood amazed as the stealth black F1 tip toed around the track. With a crack on the second lap Black Beauty tore its right wheel from the chassis Al was quoted saying "Son of a Bunny".
Image
We all stood in awe as the three wheeled car tried its very best to make it around corners. It could barely turn right. Eventually the heat was over repairs where done just for Black Beauty to rip off the other tire early in the next heat.
Image
It proves the point the best way to make a million dollars in racing is to start with 2 million.
Image
This was not TTT class and Shadow was quick to scoop up 1st with a commanding lead. All the while being polite and helping old ladies cross the road. Nipping at Shadows heals with an F1 that was perfictly balanced was the man with no hands........Ken. With a surprising twist and a secret project renamed to "was once pretty" TTT somehow managed to pull in 3rd with his train wreck of a car. Image Flexing home track advantage AA-ron 4000 sailed into 4th with our poet and you know it Al just behind him in 5th.

Next Up was Group C. TTT pulled out a blast from the past, so past most of us had never seen this car. It was a little loose and little crazy but easily crushed everything around it quickly taking 1st and stealing dreams. Alot of talk threwout Group C about calling out to pass and gentleman rules because things where about to get tighter than a Bull's butt hole in fly season. Tighter than a ducks backside (which of course is watertight). Tighter than a jar of peanut butter at a squirrel convention. Just under 5 laps off the leader in 2nd was Shadow at 114.5. 1.1 laps behind Shadow was Flipper at 113.4 with Yours truely in 4th at 113.1 and No Hands No fear with 112 in 5th. Every lap counts and that was a close race full of carnage. Tighter than a first gear hairpin. Image
Tighter than a balding man with a ponytail holds onto his youth. Tighter than a fat guy in spandex.

IMSA was up next with its tuner setups its always a treat. The class was a joy to watch as Shadow first Marshalled Bob then himself while racing then on the next lap Marshaled NoHands with his own car. Aside from Shadow continuously crushing my dreams of every being marshal of the year it has been a pleasure to be reporting for all of you throught these years. Every once in a while i get as scoop that give me goosebumps. A little bird told this bear just before IMSA that next years Tourist Trophy may have a seperate individual class the day before the big race with a very strong hint towards NSR GT3's. Thats when TT introduced his bran new IMSA tuned NSR C7 corvette. Black yellow and red, to say this thing was fast doesn't cover it. This thing ran over Kenny like he was death and this was south park. The poor F40 got flatten so many times you think it owed him money. How fast was it you ask. Fozzybear crunched the numbers. I did have to take my socks off for this. In 2nd place with little competition Shadow Evo was doing 5.7 second laps while the monster was a clear 1/2 second faster. It tore up the track. Track record is currently held by Autobots Tourist Trophy 917 NSR before being complexly redone at the Dominator with a mind bending 5.035 second lap. NSR C7 GT3 Green was 5.164 Yellow 5.218 Red 5.207. He was a full 16 laps ahead of 2nd place. Teck specs include rumors of re-gearing and a 25k motor as per new IMSA rules. Not sure about the rest of you but maybe its time to put down the slot.its in favor of a more Italian flavor. Its a spicey meatball. Aaron's green death was 3rd with FOzzy and Bob cleaning up in 4th and 5th. 2 notable mentions just off 5th with less that a lap and a half behind was 6th T2 and 7th Nohands 0.1 laps spread between them. Nohands check you wallet cause you got robbed

TTT monster C7 pushed him well over the edge into gold with 363.4 laps total. Shadow close behind with a solid performance throughout the classes at 344.0. Not sure how AA-Ron snuck into 3rd with 330.8 but home track advantage could of played a key roll. Nohands mugged and robbed Fozzy with a 326.5 lap 4th and fozzy in 5th with 321.7. Bob close behind in 6th with 318.7. The new format proves that every lap counts i wish you all a great night and thank you for racing. Remember to keep your stick on the ice and outta your bum.

Colorful, as ever Matt! Stick here is still firmly inserted...but my mechanic needs to remove that plastic insert from his skull because he’s been standing too close to the microwave! Sigh, that JPS Lotus had so much promise until it encountered a gust of wind...it’s new name will be Fra-Geel-Ee. :doh:

Image

Whoever said you don’t need both front wheels on a slot car is a g@wd d@mn liar! :liar: My Merc meanwhile limped home with a lame wing...I don’t understand how I can race the same cars for years and not a scratch. Try a new car on familiar / home track....only to go to the nurse’s office, repeatedly! And poor AA-Ron’s Group C loses hold of a weight and bam....grinds to a halt. At least my Vette lived up to her promise. :auto-driving:

As for the new format, it’s still growing on me to be honest. I like how the results are closer, but the racing itself seems more clumsy with the random driver draw and the big differences in speed. Hopefully we find a way to bring the best of old and new formats.

Some say his skin has the texture of a dolphin, and that when he blinks - a butterfly dies....all we know is he’s called No Hands!

Despite recent attempts to snap a true picture, his limbs are as non-existent as Big Foot. Look at this picture...evasive as ever. And even No Hands’ shadow doesn’t lie!

Speaking of club members, local racer the “Shadow” aka AndGoliath recently broke a record once thought unbreakable....the club Iron Finger mark of consecutive races ran. Once “held” by No Hands, The new now mark now stands at 35 straight races. Congrats to a club fixture!
