HA, will do my best on the heat, forcast is mid 40's and partly cloudy. We've lucked out on the weather so far this season, the 2-day shows have all been rainy with temps in the 20-30's. I think the track is at it's best the cooler it gets, it stays tacky all day......see ya at the track

Roger, concerning Saturdays UAS tech, please give me your interpretation of the rules regarding "brakes". Most of it is self explanatory, but I have a question about the last sentence. I says that a lockwasher or a single locknut is not enough. Do you take this to also include the bolts/nuts that affix the rotor to its hub? Presently our set up has locknuts ( not nylon style nuts, but solid steel locknuts) which were a factory installation by the chassis builder. Thanks

Presently our set up has locknuts ( not nylon style nuts, but solid steel locknuts) which were a factory installation by the chassis builder. Thanks Nuts and lockwashers are not approved unless....the exposed threaded end of the bolt is drilled and tie-wired. I think your refering to "nylocks" or "crushnuts".....these are legal by themselves...HOWEVER,......for brake rotors or any other component that can be subject to high temperatures you must use....either steel "crushnuts" (same as nylocks only steel where the nylon would be) or stainless steel tie-wire. It should also be noted that a zip-tie is not to be used in place of tie-wire. Hope this clarifies the question. Roger
