    No DP at Devens Tour?

    I didn't see an DP entries at Devens.  Not even on the entry list.  Where were Brian and Tina Reeves?

    All DP cars were sent packing after they failed the sound meter check.  The crowd cheered as they left the airfield, disgraced and humiliated. 

     

     

     

     Tina and Brian ran in STS2.

    Wow, what was the db limit? 

    I have tried to make my car pretty quiet.  Its no louder than most street cars.

    Really?  I heard that the entire field was injured in an unfortunate seat (dis)mounting accident.  Something about checking a welded in seat track mount for integrity causing a chain reaction in tech.  All injuries were minor but caused the entire class to miss the event....

    Well Duh...  I get it now Embarrassed

    Jer.... that has happened before at a National Tour.  Seemed completely reasonable that it could have happened again.

    OK, so anybody know why The Reeves ran STS2 instead of DP?  Did they just put Bridgestones on the DP car?

    Heck, if they didn't pull the ballast, they'd weigh more than most STS2 cars.

    OK, I'll be the straight man.   They said they "wanted to try something different" and left it at that.  At least when I asked.  And no, it wasn't their DP car.

    Thanks Jim.  I was kinda wonderin' if anybody would notice if at the next tour, I threw a set of floor mats in the MR2, bolted on a set of Bridgestones and ran STS2.
