Re: lets get some input

The Helmet rule was mandated for 2016, the head and neck restraints and full containment seats were strongly encouraged and "could be mandated in the future".

You cannot rewrite 20 years of rule book in one 5 hour meeting. Rules have sometimes been implemented without due diligence (like the quick change rule that had to be amended from the original vote) because there is just not enough time to "Fix" everything there is that everyone wants to talk about.

Please remember, an opinion is just an opinion and rules should not be changed, added, deleted or amended because 1 person thinks so and that is why there is discussion and votes by the board.

Sometimes rules get made without looking at all possible scenarios. Sometimes you don't know how things will be affected until the situation arises. Sometimes a rule doesn't get made the first time it is brought up but down the road it does. Sometimes everyone agrees and sometimes, a few rules get voted down. That is just the way it goes.

I think as long as we can have fun, have healthy discussion without rudeness, keep looking to the good for ALL drivers, then we have a pretty sweet deal. There will always be disagreements, that is the nature of the beast. WSDCA is the premiere dwarf car racing club in the United States and that is fact. We are on the right track and no, we will never get it 100% right,that is impossible, but we are all doing pretty well. No other division of racing has the car count at WSDCA races.

Re: lets get some input

I agree you can never please everyone. And I also agree you can not restructure the rulebook in 5 hours. Im not knocking wsdca by any means . I'm just trying to start a conversation. Would it be nice to have everything in black and white?? You bet,I guess maybe we should go a different route with this and see how it could be done.

I'm all about trying to make things better and if I could be of any help let me know..

Re: lets get some input

There seems to be a misconception with auto tune:
Auto tune is a tool that's takes data while the engine is running, sniffing air/fuel mixture.
The Bazzaz system and Dynojet system are not a closed loop system. Meaning that they do not adjust while sampling data.
Only after the data is downloaded and imported is there a change in the fueling. Just like tire pressure , tire temp readings are used to make changes for the next session. Seat of the pants tuning of the suspension. Changes are made.
If we all had access to a dyno we could tune our engines to the exact requirements /demands they need. So to restate no adjustments can be made to the fueling during operation, no self tuning. Now a Motec, Pectel, Magna Marelli ECU can close loop adjustments. But those cost between 8-10 thousand for just the ECU doesn't include sensors wiring and a programmer to make it all work.
