Default PIT LANE QUESTION

I have a question about pit lane, refers mainly to nitro cars.
It is hard to tell exactly 100% from the picture, but can you make up time by rolling into and out of pit lane? If the answer is yes, that might be something that will have to be monitored.

Good call. In the current config, yes... the pit lane bypasses the first hairpin.

Pit lane does avoid the first hairpin. But can you make it in and out before the car on power going to hairpin? NO you cannot make up time. We have tried it to see with electric cars. It cant be done faster than the race line. Unless you are the best pit road racer in the nation. There will be a discussion in the drivers meeting about intentional pit road short cuts. But again it wont make up time.

The spec tire is gonna be Solaris. The only reason it hasn't been announced is the confirmation on the amount for a spec tire. Price will be announced as soon as available.

Hotel, food and the Oceanfront are all a short drive away. Link above is pretty good but here is another.

From what I understand Sorex isn't giving a spec tire discount. Sweeps were voted out by locals due to the lack of consistency. The new solaris tire is not that bad. Its comparable to the sorex. I didn't like solaris old tires either.

Blowing the track and spraying it on Saturday morning should give us some better tire wear throughout the day.

SPEC TIREs: DRCW is trying to go with Solaris 35's for the spec tire. At the moment it will depend on if Solaris has enough in stock to supply us. For the August race it will probably be the spec tire.....Fingers crossed...?
If not Solaris it will probably be Sweep 36's.
this is a quote from our racing thread.
