got fitted to the other car...the difference was that the nose was "fitted' to the one car that was to carry a tv camera, hence the weight difference as the camera was not installed in this car. Hope all this makes sense, he said he'd have more to report when he gets home...had to go pack stuff up.

I wonder what they would do if a sizeable part fell off during a race. - PotomaC32-Greg 2008-09-02 06:23:37 (39 views)

That is different and allowed. They then weigh the difference between the damage parts and the - Mike S 2008-09-02 08:24:07 (48 views)

Oh yah, just a shame that the streak ends over something completely out of the driver's hands. - InTTruder 2008-08-31 10:36:57 (49 views)

I agree with that. Guess that means they do post race weights w/o driver? - jbchinoca 2008-08-31 11:57:18 (47 views)

All the podium go to tech post-race IIRC. - InTTruder 2008-09-01 05:40:44 (45 views)
