103 in an svl ?

[Ratickle]

I dont know about that but it could be. If you have a single calibration and you flash all ECM's before the race with a new password and than check them after the race it is pretty foolproof.

If someone was to reflash the ECM they would need to know the password of the day.

If the teams runs another ECM the totals will not match unless they run the ECM on another engine at the same time. Sealing the ECM to the engines helps prevent this as does sealing the hatch after the race.

The 525 has several different revisions of ECM's that are all legal which helps add to the confusion.

Maybe an ECM exchange program would be the answer to update everyone to the latest version. I'll find out on the -4 for sure.

Someone just posted a 30 Phantom 525 SVL did 100 mph's at the shootout.......that can't be right.....it dosn't even have the 5 mph current going behind it and did a 100....was Brian F running that boat....
That would be the fastest SVL out of all of them....Did one of the 4 SVL's that went out there drop in some bigger power for the run....

I haven't talked with Lance or Shelly yet. But, my guess is it's all legal except weight. They'll let us know. Everyone knew Octane was a fast hull.

Ratickle....thanks for the update...
Didn't that boat have at one time bigger power in it other then the 525....

i,m willing to bet Lance put one of his 800 hp s in ,,just a guess ?? but he has some,, if not ,,great job ,,i,v got a lot of work to do ,,

 

[Ratickle]

,,i,v got a lot of work to do ,,

Especially if you're gonna pass those pontoons.....:26:

I guess you will need to make sum rule changes to make the new boats competitive.

why didnt you take the Activator out there?? I am sure Ilmor would have like to see the representation! besides you would not have been restricted to Class/P-5 rules!

So what did the SVLs run today in LOTO?

Time Bandit was on Trailer
Pirate Racing in Mid 80's
Watch Your Back 93
Octane originally posted 100, but spun out after finish line and then was DQ, from an engine protest / BTeque was asked to tech inspect, the fountain boat was in parking lot for tech inspection, the octane was DQ

So top legal SVL speed was the Fountain at 93
Top V Bottom was 139 and Top Gun was 208

 

[Griswald]

one has to wonder who protested?

 

[MOBILEMERCMAN]

LOL new class added.. Say it is not so.



Was there really a post race adjustment to the single engine canopy class.. Legal SVL was added to 60 class list after the fact?

 

[MANITIE]

Thats what I thought...was that not the old Fortres boat...

We wanted to....especially with Crocket out there...but after the piss pour showing we had in Patchaque...I've been working on getting Mark K to jump back into the Activator for A/C and the rest of the season if its OK with Tony...plus I spent the last 5 days in Fl.....

That would take vanity to a even lower low than we have seen thus far and give win at all cost$ another new wrinkle!
