Re: Next generation KSCC hill communications

Forgot to ask: would a small (1/4" or so) bend on the bottom to help stiffen the bottom edge 'panel' be OK w/ your set-up (i.e. as in not interfere w/ the batteries/electronics)? Thinkin' long term durability...

Re: Next generation KSCC hill communications

Walter, sorry I was incommunicado for a few: Have a buddy in NY that's willing to bend up a prototype (a tin-knocker by trade, also has some history w/ an ARCA team) - He's thinking (if you think it will work) stainless steel instead of the aluminum - has some laying around - but has a variety of 's...

Re: Starting light working group

Would it be possible to rotate the lens 180 degrees to change the beam angle to 7 degrees up? (the K.I.S.S. principle)

Re: Break out times

(Well, glad I previewed my post - Walter was typing the same thoughts as I about one minute faster, so some of this is repetitious) 2 cents dept, but keep in mind that cars are continuing to be designed and manufactured (and regulated) to withstand heavier impacts than even earlier generations of th...

Re: Next generation KSCC hill communications

Agree w/ that - looks good Walter :thumbsup:

I'd offer to do the covers, but the brake I have access to is 135 miles away right now - if no one steps up in the next couple of weeks (or less) I can prob do them...
