Re: New Skippy Car Components Survey #4 of 8: DATA ACQUISITION

Just read this email from John Mayes who is running in Star Mazda this weekend:

3 red flags during first practice broke the momentum a bit, and that's my excuse for not doing better than high 26's. Halfway throug 2nd session and my engine blew. Best lap, 1:26.1. Not exactly steller, but w/in the 107% rule. The biggest concern is that my group will qual 1st on a slow, slick track, sp the challenge of staying w/in 107 will be much higher tomorrow. I'll have to kick it into the 1:25's at a minimum, but at least know several places I should be able to do that...right after I get my gonades out from my suitcase. I know I brought them, but sure haven't found them yet.

More tomorrow...J

So... red flags that further reduce your drive time. Blown engines that cause you to lose drive time. And, a 107% rule that could keep you off the grid.

All for the price of nearly a full season at Skippy. You do the math.
