| mengo76 | 13:03:59 17/04/2009 | hey tommey!
|
| TommyK | 13:04:02 17/04/2009 | there could be jostling within a few tenths that could change the order
|
| TXDERBY | 13:04:05 17/04/2009 | What car was the fastest in the first drop?
|
| mengo76 | 13:04:16 17/04/2009 | naw i just totally forgot, too much stress buying a house!
|
| TommyK | 13:04:21 17/04/2009 | car? do you mean buggy?

| TXDERBY | 13:04:42 17/04/2009 | Buggy (sorry - I race Ultimate Speed)
|
| TommyK | 13:04:51 17/04/2009 | no worries
|
| TommyK | 13:05:07 17/04/2009 | those times are not officially measured
|
| mengo76 | 13:05:07 17/04/2009 | sn a w dqed maybe? why, i saw the pass on the cmutv replays just a while ago, is that why?
|
| TommyK | 13:05:34 17/04/2009 | but sources say that SDC Pika and Fringe are all tight
|
| TommyK | 13:05:42 17/04/2009 | with SDC possibly with the edge
|
| TXDERBY | 13:05:54 17/04/2009 | Saw it live (SN A made up alot of time going down the hill!)
|
| TommyK | 13:06:01 17/04/2009 | The shove on hill 2 has a big effect
|
| TommyK | 13:06:51 17/04/2009 | Initial Velocity is a big factor

| mengo76 | 13:06:59 17/04/2009 | what do you think the effect of 2 per heat only was?
|
| mengo76 | 13:07:11 17/04/2009 | less excitement? :P
|
| TommyK | 13:07:16 17/04/2009 | I think it meant the follow truck had a better view
|
| TommyK | 13:07:33 17/04/2009 | there was plenty of good racing
|
| TommyK | 13:07:37 17/04/2009 | soe sweet passes
|
| TommyK | 13:07:41 17/04/2009 | and even some rubbing
|
| TXDERBY | 13:08:04 17/04/2009 | Any ideas on SDC white wheels?
|
| mengo76 | 13:08:10 17/04/2009 | am watching the rerun now
|
| TommyK | 13:08:13 17/04/2009 | I wish
|
| TommyK | 13:08:24 17/04/2009 | oh. I think SN A women spun in the chute
|
| mengo76 | 13:09:02 17/04/2009 | dunno if it was A team but i saw a sn almost touching i think sdc
|
| TXDERBY | 13:09:03 17/04/2009 | SN did spin but it was not A
|
| TommyK | 13:09:07 17/04/2009 | white likely means PU and since its SDC and they have buckets of cash it could be frm anywhere
|
| TXDERBY | 13:09:33 17/04/2009 | PU beating Pika rubber?
|
| TommyK | 13:10:00 17/04/2009 | Fringe does it regularly
|
| TXDERBY | 13:10:24 17/04/2009 | So who has the best push in order (I am new at this)?
|
| TommyK | 13:10:35 17/04/2009 | Pika also rolls Pnuematic in back -
|
| TXDERBY | 13:10:36 17/04/2009 | Fringe is green PU?
|
| TommyK | 13:10:42 17/04/2009 | this year
|
| TommyK | 13:11:25 17/04/2009 | Pushers ... SDC, Spirit, Fringe, Sig Ep, Pika right now
|
| TXDERBY | 13:11:32 17/04/2009 | Fringe A - Green PU, Fringe B Yellow PU (correct)?

| TommyK | 13:11:48 17/04/2009 | I didn't catch that, I really should though since I'm fringe alum
|
| TommyK | 13:12:05 17/04/2009 | are you affiliated with any team?
|
| TXDERBY | 13:12:21 17/04/2009 | Not at CMU but I have wheels in the CMU race
|
| TXDERBY | 13:12:35 17/04/2009 | and CMU has wheels in my race
|
| TommyK | 13:12:42 17/04/2009 | So what do you think of buggy?
|
| TommyK | 13:12:49 17/04/2009 | is it crazy enough for you?
|
| TXDERBY | 13:13:07 17/04/2009 | Noticed derby parts in Buggy's
|
| TXDERBY | 13:13:22 17/04/2009 | Derby tought Buggy about rubber a long time ago
|
| TommyK | 13:13:26 17/04/2009 | yeah, the big old AEPi buggy is on the steel wheels

| TommyK | 13:13:41 17/04/2009 | heard lots of stories about MEK and cancer
|
| TXDERBY | 13:13:50 17/04/2009 | Ultimate can run any wheels desired
|
| TommyK | 13:14:03 17/04/2009 | I've seen some wacky combinations
|
| TommyK | 13:14:07 17/04/2009 | luge wheel
|
| TommyK | 13:14:18 17/04/2009 | and then we started seeing pics of xootrs and pika tires
|
| TommyK | 13:15:12 17/04/2009 | Ultimate is really tight tolerances though right? like 100th of a second to win a race?
|
| TommyK | 13:15:51 17/04/2009 | and grip is pretty pointless in ultimate

|
| TXDERBY | 13:16:35 17/04/2009 | MEK?
|
| TommyK | 13:16:57 17/04/2009 | Methyl Ethyl Ketone
|
| TXDERBY | 13:17:10 17/04/2009 | MEK used for what?
|
| TommyK | 13:17:17 17/04/2009 | for cleansing rubber of useless additives and making it bouncier
|
| TXDERBY | 13:18:04 17/04/2009 | News to Me
|
| TommyK | 13:18:06 17/04/2009 | If you see a black rubber wheel that is shredding itself then its been treated with some mix of chemicals
|
| TXDERBY | 13:18:17 17/04/2009 | like Pika
|
| TommyK | 13:18:22 17/04/2009 | yup
|
| TXDERBY | 13:18:38 17/04/2009 | Sounds dangerous
|
| TommyK | 13:18:41 17/04/2009 | unclear what it does for PU
|
| TommyK | 13:18:44 17/04/2009 | very dangerous

| TommyK | 13:19:20 17/04/2009 | a fire broke out in a truck one year that made safety inspections mandatory and
|
| TXDERBY | 13:19:26 17/04/2009 | take wheels out and our team is more successful than PiKa
|
| TommyK | 13:19:42 17/04/2009 | come again?
|
| TommyK | 13:19:52 17/04/2009 | which team?
|
| TXDERBY | 13:20:08 17/04/2009 | when we all use the same wheels in a 2/4 lane and wheel swap we always win
|
| TommyK | 13:20:09 17/04/2009 | Pika is undoubtedly the most succesful team in buggy
|
| TommyK | 13:20:21 17/04/2009 | ahhhh
|
| TXDERBY | 13:20:23 17/04/2009 | 2/4 lane wheel swap with timer factors out wheels
|
| TommyK | 13:20:38 17/04/2009 | good to know
|
| TXDERBY | 13:20:51 17/04/2009 | not when the best car in the race comes in 5th place

| TommyK | 13:21:05 17/04/2009 | sig nu did have a spin today, as did sdc
