RE: CPA/ BPA contest 2011

The field will be open Friday at 11:00. The Microtel in Gardendale is the closest place to the field.
There is also a Best Western in Gardendale - It is NOT recommended!!

RE: Club 40 Rules Enforcement

Mess is cleaned up by rules enforcement. Someone has to READ and UNDERSTAND the rules, then physically get up and do the checking.

RE: Club 40 Rules Enforcement

Go - NoGo gauges take all the math and measuring out of the process. It either IS or it AIN'T and go to the next one. Quick and simple.

RE: Club 40 Rules Enforcement

Club .46!!! Let's see, I think the Magnum 52 parts will go in the Magnum .46 case. Not sure about the Evolution engines but I'll check. And what about the O.S. 55AX?
Changing engines is not the...

RE: Club 40 Rules Enforcement

Don't forget that some engines just run better than others. Thats fine with me as long as the engines are the same displacement.

RE: Club 40 Rules Enforcement

Stroke test is useless. Advantage comes from increased bore.

RE: Club 40 Rules Enforcement

Pre-Race inspection won't work. I can change an engine out in the early practice chaos and no one will notice. Post race the the top four planes, and maybe 1 other plane from random. If you know you...

RE: Club 40 Rules Enforcement

I don't think cheated up engines is a major problem. As a general rule, there is usually 1 or maybe 2 at any given time that push the envelope. Check the bore, check the carburetor, watch over...

I don't want to buy an illegal engine. I have seen it happen in auto racing with claimer rules.

RE: Club 40 Rules Enforcement

With a little tinkering I think I can beat that test.
Pull the heads on the top 4 planes after the contest and go-no go the bore and check carburetor diameter. If a cheater is found, he goes home...

RE: Club 40 Rules Enforcement

The TT parts list shows different #'s for the crankshaft. The rod for the .40 & .46 is the same #.
It looks like a crank, cyl. & piston, wrist pin, head and head gasket is all you would need to...

RE: Club 40 Rules Enforcement

Squidman, you and I are on the same page.
Hairy46, I race to win. Otherwise, why drive 150 miles to a race? I enjoy playing within the rules to find an edge. I want to win fair and square, too. I...

RE: Club 40 Rules Enforcement

In most peoples minds, it's not cheating until you get caught! It is up to "the officials" to try and keep everything fair and square. In car racing, I never saw anyone object to inspection. They...

I have used "Go - No Go" gauges to check carburetors on race cars where modification was not allowed. If the gauge goes into the hole being measured, it is not legal. The beauty part is there are no...
